But AfTA to appeal
Army Corps permit
By Mary Ford
MF0RD»CNC COM
With all the train construction
going on — ranging from
Hingham"s downtown tunnel to
the layover station area in
Scituate — it may surprise- resi-
dents in Greenbush towns that
the rail spur did not officially get
the proverbial "green light" until
Monday w hen the Army Corps
of Engineers issued a permit for
the S5(K) million project.
The Army Corps permit that
was roughly 1 0 years in the mak-
ing allows the tilling in of wet-
lands and waterways throughout
the 17.7-mile corridor that
stretches Irom Braintree to
Scituate including replacing
bridges, relocating Town BfOOK
in Hingham Square and work
around Smell Brook in
Weymouth
Proponents herald the news as
the final hurdle lor the always
controversial and oft belea-
guered project that would restore
commuter rail service on the
(ircenbush line that was aban-
doned in 1959 about the time the
Southeast Expressway came into
existence.
"We're very happy." said Jon
Carlisle, spokesman lor slate
Transportation Sec Daniel A.

and we're pleased to have
cleared it." The line is expected

he and 115 other brave crew
members serving during World
War II lost their lives thai night.
Today marks the sixty-first
anniversary of his date of sacri-
fice.
Robert, who was known
around lown as Bobby, grew up

he said.
Selectman Rob Spofford said

Cedarmere gets DEP permit
On-site system
gets go-ahead
By Samantha Brown
SAMBROWN»CNC.COM
II will be a very happy new year
for Cedannere developers, who
have heen granted a groundwater
discharge permit from the
Department of Environmental
Protection, giving the go-ahead to
begin construction on the site.
"We plan on breaking ground in
February or March." said David
• Calhoun. 2 Sheldon Road, who is
i developing the site with his wife
Kelli and their business partner Tom
Ragno. of Lexington. Calhoun
added if the weather cooperates,
excavation on the site could take
place sooner rather than later,
adding "It will be late winter or
early spring." he said.
However, even with an on-site
pemiil Calhoun said. "We're main-
taining our sewer application and
position because that's the preferred
method." of w astewater disposal for
the project. Cedannere developers
still hold firm that there is capacity
at the Kim Street wastewater treat-
ment plant for the project, and they
plan to continue their quest for a
sewer connection.
Developments which will gener-
ate more than 10,000 gallons of
wastewater per day are required to
obtain a groundwater discharge per-
mit from the DEP or a municipal
sewer connection before construc-
tion can begin. Since the proposed
105-unit senior housing develop-
ment was introduced to the town in
earl) summer 21X13. developers
have heen pursuing both options. It
is anticipated Cedannere will gener-
ate roughly 14,000 gallons of waste-
w atcr per day.
Sewer Commissioners denied the
project's application for a municipal
sewet connection in November
2(103. and developers have appealed
that decision with the courts.
However, in an effort to keep the
project on track, developers began
workfng with the DEP to find an on-
site wastewater solution.
Originally, developers had been
1 looking at an evaporation system
. for the site, but plans have chunged
, and a reuse system has been
approved, giving the project the
groundwater pennil it needs.
Alan Slater. Chief of
Groundwater Permitting for the
DEP. said the system which has
been approved for Cedannere will
collect all the wastewater produced
on the property and send it to a cen-
tral wastewater treatment point on
site. "It will be treated to a very
high level." he said, adding wasle-
- w ater will pass through a membrane
'. filtration system, carbon filters, and
- ultimately an ultra-violet filter. He
said the system is very similar to
that used by the town's Elm Street
w astewater treatment facility.
"The effluent limits are very
strict." Slater said, because it will be
a reuse system, meaning the treated
w astewater will be reused for irriga-
tion thniughoul the property.
With the topography of the site,
there was not one single area
deemed suitable for handling all the
anticipated wastewater Therefore,
drip pipes will be situated at a depth
of roughly 6 to 12 inches under-
ground throughout various areas of
the 4 1 -acre site. "They will act as a
means of disposal and will irrigate
the green areas, which will save on
water." he said.
DEP Public Affair* Director Ed
Colelta said with on-site systems,
the department likes to see as much
reuse of water as possible as well as
systems which try to be as envimn-
mentally green as possible. "Reuse
of groundwater is always an impor-
tant aspect." of on-site plans, he
said, adding the new on-site system
at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro has a
reuse system which is similar to the
Cedannere system, but on a much
larger scale.
Smart growth'
While the state monitors conser-
vation efforts of new developments
through the DEP. the Department
of Housing and Community
Development measures smart
growth aspects of a project.
Cedarmere developers say there are
many smart growth points their
project encompasses, which the
state has been glad to see. includ-
ing:
• Location between two new
Grcenbush stations I North Scituatc
and Cohasset ),
• Fairness to town — pmject is
developed with the town's own
senior bylaw and Master Plan.
• Open space preserved — less
than 25 percent of the site is cov ered
by impervious materials.
• Density — town bylaw allows
for up to 1 2.5 units per acre or 5 1 2
units. Cedarmere is I OS units, 45 of
which are in located in just two
buildings.
• Respect for the town's character
— project's shingle-style design in
keeping with the tow n's character.
• Expand housing opportunities
— 25 percent of the development is
affordable housing.
• Provides transportation options
— located within walking distance
to Shops, churches, town center.
C lose proximity to commuter
rail stations as well as Hingham
Commuter Boat. Direct access to
Route 3A.
• Restoie and enhance tile envi-
ronment — bridges and wetland
restoration work designed to maxi-
mize wetland preservation
and increase the quality and quanti-
ty of the natural resources.
• Creating energy-efficient homes
designed to minimize maintenance,
healing, cooling, electrical, water
and wastewater demands.
• Development of a project which
enables Cohasset to impnwe tax
revenues without additional bur-
dens to the existing infra-
structure. The project is scheduled
to contribute more than $700,000 in

1/2 years ago. At that point, the
town began seeking out feedback
from various town boards and their
consultants, as well as abutters to
the property, to see what the town
would like the project to include
The project is slated for the former
Hayes Estate off Beechwood Street
on the east side of 3A. and is
planned to consist of a mix of 105-
units of affordable and market rate
apartments and condominiums for
seniors 55 and older. "A tremen-
dous amount of people have
approached us from Cohasset that
would like to live here." said
Calhoun.
The project was the first to file
under the town's Senior Multi-
Family Overlay District bylaw, and
under that bylaw, the plans become
subject to review' by many town
boards. The town adopted the
overlay bylaw at the Nov. 22
Special Town Meeting, as a way to
get out from under the threat of
40B projects. Under 40B, develop-
ers can come into a town and build
senior housing complexes which
provide affordable housing
options, but skirt around local zon-
ing regulations. The slate ultimate-
ly has the final say on what is built.
For projects built under the
Senior Overlay bylaw, a 25 percent
affordability requirement stands
linn. Affordability regulations arc
written so that those residents earn-
ing less than 50 percent of the area
median household income qualify
as low income, those earning
between 50 and 80 percent qualify
as moderate income, and those
earning between SO percent and
120 percent qualify as median
income. In Boston, the area median
household income is $50. 100 for a
family of two. Affordable units
must remain affordable for a mini-
mum of 30 years.
Since Cedarmere tiled its appli-
cation for a special permit w ith the
Planning Board to build under the
town's overlay bylaw, a second
senior housing project has sur-
faced, slated to be built on Sohier
.Street on the Cook Estate. The
project has not yet submitted an
application for a special pennil
from the Planning Board, and is
searching for a wastewater solu-
tion. It had been thought the prop-
erty's soils would be able to
accommodate the wastewater the
development will generate, but
additional soil tests confirmed the
site cannot. The Cook project has
been temporarily put on hold as it
searches for a wastewater solution,
and construction cannot begin until
a solution is found. Once built, the
Cook Estate will consist of 95 units
of senior housing.
Two train liaisons on table
Each would bring
different expertise
By Samantha Brown
SAMBR0WNffCNC.COM
Three interested candidates
have been interv iewed to serve
as the town's liaison with the
Massachusetts Bay Transpor-
tation Authority during
Greenbush construction, and
two of those candidates may
work together to ensure the
town is fully represented.
A liaison search committee
conducted interviews last week
with three "very qualified"
Cohasset residents. The com-
mittee, which is comprised of
Selectmen Ralph Dormitzer
and Fred Koed, Tax
Collector/Treasurer Joe DiVito
— who has been serving as
Acting Special Assistant to the
Town Manager for MBTA
affairs — and resident Jody
Butman. has concluded both
Tom Gruber and Mark Brennan
working together with the
MBTA would be the best solu-
tion for the town.
"Tom has the best historical
know ledge and he has the over-
whelming support of the town."
said Dormitzer. He added.
"Mark has enormous field work
experience." and could be very
helpful in terms of going to the
construction sites to ensure
what is on the plans is being
carried out properly. Dormitzer
said it is the committee's inten-
tion that Gniber would serve as
the lead contact with Brennan
working under him.
Koed said it will be important
to come up with a way to divide
the responsibilities up to ensure
if the public has a concern, they
know which person they should
contact. "This is the biggest
project to come through here
since the train originally came
through." he said, and the tow n
needs to take every precaution
to protect its interests. "We
can't nickel and dime it," he
said. Koed said he too was very
impressed with Brennan 's his-
tory, as he at one point in his
career supervised I million
kilometers of trenching for
cable in the United Kingdom.
"I think W s a
great idea."
— Selectman Rob Spofford
Selectman Ronnie McMorris
said she thinks it is extremely
important to have a clear delin-
eation between the two jobs,
and added it has to be made
clear that being an advocate for
residents does not mean the
mitigation agreements which
have been agreed upon can be
changed, and new deals can he
made. She said being an advo-
cate does not mean it is appro-
priate to take on the role of an
attorney. "We have to be clear
there is some oversight." as
both men will report directly to
the Town Manager, who will
have the ultimate say in any
decisions.
Spofford echoed McMorris'
sentiments and said he also
wants to make it clear the
liaisons represent the town as a
whole, and not special interests
Koed said both men under
stand the Town Manager has
the ultimate authority and will
decide which way they're
going. "It's not going 10 be a
tug-of-war." he said.
Spofford then said as long as
the roles are clearly defined. "I
think it's a great idea/* adding
hopefully, the two will agree to
work together on the project "I
think we've seen the way pub-
lic works programs have gone
and if they (contractors I can cut
comers, they will." he said. He-
added the town needs someone
to he readily available to go on
site and make sure if the con-
tractors say there w ill be 2 Inch-
es of gravel, the town gets 2
inches, not 1-1/2. Dormitzer
said Brennan is retired and
would have the time to spend
overseeing work on site.
With positions such as these,
the Town Manager makes the
appointment and the Selectmen
have 1 5 days to reject it. Town
Manager Michael Buckley said
he wants to sit down with both
men and make sure both are
willing to serve side-by-side,
and then wort, out the contracts
and outline the responsibilities
each will have to ensure every-
one knows w hat their role is. In
addition. Buckley said he
would also like both men to
travel down to Bourne to meet
with new Town Manager
William Griffin who will come
on board in Cohasset Jan. 31.
Buckley said he will come back
before the board next Tuesday.
Jan. 1 1 to inform them of his
appointment, and at that point
the board will make a decision
as to whether it agrees with
Buckley 's decision
Until Oct 2. the town had a
contract with the Waterfield
Design Group to supply a liai-
son for the town during
Greenbush construction. While
the contract was still in effect,
some residents questioned w hy
the town had chosen to sign a
$120,000 contract with the
Winchester firm, rather than
one of the roughly 14 residents
who applied for the position
when it was originally adver-
tised. When the contract
expired, everyone agreed it
would be in the town's best
interest to hire someone local.
There has been no decision
made on the money for the con-
tracts for the new liaisons.
Selectmen Chairman Michael
Sullivan said alter an appoint-
ment is made, it will be very
beneficial to have the liaisons
come in to provide a report to
the board every month.
Dormitzer agreed and said he
would like to see the two
appointed sooner rather than
later. "The Spring Street plans
are in. and I'd love to have them
take a took." he said.

Public Notice Public Notice Public Notice Public Notice Public Notice Public Notice
January 5, 2005
Dear Cohasset Resident:
In 2004, the Cohasset Water Department exceeded the standard for Total Trihalomethanes (TTHMs) in drinking water. We had a level of
100 parts per billion (ppb), which is higher than the Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) of 80 ppb. 2004 was the first year that this
TTHM regulation applied to Cohasset.
Please find inside the Notice that we are required to issue to the public. Also enclosed is a Q&A document which further explains the steps
we have taken so far to reduce TTHMs and the steps we are planning to take to further reduce TTHM levels.
According to the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), it is not necessary to use an alternative water supply,
such as bottled water. DEP advises that this exceedance is not an immediate risk, but that "some people who drink water containing tri-
halomethanes in excess of the MCL over many years may experience problems with their liver, kidneys, or central nervous system, and may
have an increased risk of getting cancer" and that if you have any questions please consult with your doctor.
Please be assured that we are working diligently to resolve this issue by reducing TTHM levels as we continue our long-term capital
improvement program for the Cohasset Water System. For more information, please view our web page at www.cohassetwater.org. If you
have any questions please contact the Water Department at 383-0057.
Sincerely,
COHASSET WATER COMMISSION

Glenn A. Pratt. Vice Chairman
Nathaniel G. Palmer. Clerk
NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR DRINKING WATER
The Cohasset Water Department Has Levels of Total Trihalomethanes (TTHMs) Above Drinking Water Standards
The Cohasset Water Department recently violated a drinking water standard. Although this is not an emergency, as our customers, you have a right to know
M hat happened, what you should do. and what we are doing to correct this situation.
We routinely monitor tor the presence of contaminants in drinking water. The latest test results we received on December 29, 2004 show that our system
exceeded the standard, called the maximum contaminant level (MCL). for Total Trihalomethanes (TTHMs) in 2004. The standard for TTHMs is 80 parts per
billion (ppb) as a Running Annual Average (RAA) of samples taken quarterly throughout the year. With the December 29 sample our Running Annual Average
of Total Trihalomethanes (TTHM) for 2004 was 100 ppb.
You do not need to use an alternative (e.g.. bottled) water supply. However, after reading this Notice, if you have specific health concerns, consult your doctor.
This is not an immediate risk. If it had been, you would have been notified immediately. However, some people who drink the water containing trihalomethanes
in excess of the MCL over many years may experience problems with their liver, kidneys, or central nervous system, and may have an increased risk of getting
cancer.
TTHMs are formed by the interaction of chlorine, added as a disinfectant, and organic matter in the water. The Water Commission has been working since early
2003 to meet the 80 ppb MCL, but the improvements we have made so far to the Lily Pond Treatment Plant - which have resulted in reductions in TTHMs -
did not take effect soon enough to reduce the RAA for 2004. Our 2004 levels were: 1st Quarter (104 ppb). 2nd Quarter (130 ppb), 3rd Quarter (70 ppb). 4th
Quarter (96 ppb). Based on these four quarterly samples, the RAA for 2004 is 100 ppb. To reduce TTHMs we have reduced chlorine by adding it later in the
treatment process, and added enhanced coagulation and potassium permanganate to enhance the removal of organic matter. We believe we are on the right
course to reduce TTHMs so we will be in compliance in the future. In 2005 we plan to move the pre-chlorination point again and to install baffles in the clear-
well, both of which should further reduce TTHMs. and to install mixers in the water storage tanks to reduce the time for chlorine to interact with organic matter
in the distribution system, which should also further reduce TTHMs - and to continue taking action to reduce TTHMs.
Please share this information with all the other people who drink this water, especially those who may not have received this notice directly (for example,
people in apartments, nursing homes, schools, and businesses). You can do this by posting this notice in a public place or distributing copies by hand or
mail.

About Cohasset's TTHM Violation - Questions & Answers
About our TTHM violation
In 2004. the Cohasset Water Department
exceeded the EPA and Massachusetts
Department of Environmental Protection
Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) for Total
Trihalomethanes (TTHMs) levels in drinking
water of 80 parts per billion (ppb) - measured
as the Running Annual Average (RAA) of sam-
ples taken quarterly over die year.
Our 2004 TTHM levels were: 1st quarter
(104 ppb), 2nd Quarter (130 ppb). 3rd Quarter
(70 ppb). and 4th Quarter (96 ppb). This pro-
vides a RAA of 100 ppb for 2004.
What are TTHMs and How Are They
Caused?
TTHMs are caused by the interaction of chlo-
rine, added to water as a disinfectant, with
organic matter present in water. Most water
systems in the United States disinfect their
water with chlorine in order to kill pathogens
that cause disease.
What does this mean?
DEP advises that this exceedance does not
mean that you have to use an alternative water
supply, but suggests that if you have any health
concerns you should consult your doctor.
DEP says that "This is not an immediate risk,
if it had been, you would have been notified
immediately. However, some people who drink
water containing trihalomethanes in excess of
the MCL over many years may experience
problems with their liver, kidneys, or central
nervous system, and may have an increased risk
of getting cancer."
TTHMs are considered by the U.S. EPA and
Massachusetts DEP to present a potential health
threat from long-term exposure over many
years, which is why compliance with the
TTHM standard is based on the Running
Annual Average and not on any individual sam-
ple.
The Cohasset Water Commission has provid-
ed notification to the public of the potential
health risks from TTHMs. and the TTHM lev-
els, in the Department's annual Water Quality
Reports since those Reports were first issued in
1999. and in bill sniffers.
What Do I Need to Do?
You do not have to avoid using the water. If
you wish to take further precautions, however,
you can boil the water (believed to reduce
TTHMs) or use filters certified to remove
TTHMs (this includes most faucet-mounted,
free-standing, or under-counter reverse osmosis
filters). Leaving an open container of water in
the refrigerator for a few hours also is effective
in reducing the amount of TTHMs.
Why add Chlorine to the Water?
The public health benefits of chlorine disin-
fection practices are significant and well-recog-
nized. One hundred years ago. typhoid and
cholera were common throughout American
cities, and chlorine disinfection was a major
factor in reducing these epidemics. Yet. chlo-
rine disinfection poses risks of its own.
For this reason, one of the most complex
questions facing water supply professionals is
exactly how to reduce risks from disinfectants
and TTHMs while still adding sufficient chlo-
rine to provide the necessary protection against
microbial contaminants that can cause acute
waterbome disease.
What has Been Done So Far to Address
TTHMs in the Cohasset Water System?
• The Cohasset Water Commission has been
actively working on reducing TTHMs since
2002. We have kept the Massachusetts DEP
informed throughout the year and have
received their approval for the measures we
have taken so far to address this problem:
• Since 2002 Weston & Sampson and American
Water, who operate and maintain the water
system under contract with the Water
Commission and the Town, have been close-
ly examining the treatment process in the Lily
Pond Treatment Plant in an ongoing study to
identify options for reducing TTHMs.
• We have been conducting regular flushing of
the distribution system and replacement of
undersized pipes, which removes organic
matter and reduces TTHM formation from
interaction with chlorine.
• On December 23. 2003. after extensive study
and approval from DEP. we moved the pre-
chlorination point to just before filtration to
reduce formation of TTHMs in the treatment
process by reducing the amount of chlorine.
Unfortunately, that was not enough to reduce
TTHM levels in 2004, so we have continued
to work on the problem.
• In mid-February 2004, we initiated enhanced
coagulation to reduce the amount of organic
matter leading to TTHM formation during the
treatment process. Combined moving the
pre-chlorination point, this appeared to have
reduce TTHMs.
• In September 2004 we added a chemical feed
to add Potassium Permanganate - an oxidant
which further reduces organic matter in the
water (as well as improves the taste and odor
of treated water.)
• In December 2004 we added Polyaluminum
Chloride (PAC) to the treatment process,
which will further enhance coagulation and
take organic matter out of the water to reduce
TTHMs.
What Does the Water Commission Plan to Do
In the Future to Further Reduce TTHMs?
• We are expediting putting the Ellms Meadow
wellfield back on line. The estimated
1000.000 gallons per day we could get from
these wells are expected to improve the over-
all water quality of your tap water and are
expected to lower TTHM levels.
• We are planning to change the chlorination
method from the use of free chlorine to chlo-
ramines, which most water systems in the
United States find effective in lowering
TTHMs.
• In March 2005 (the earliest we can accom-
plish this) we plan to move the pre-chlorina-
tion point again so it will add chlorine after
filtration, which should further reduce the
formation of TTHM precursors in the water
as it is being treated.
• In February/March we plan to install baffles
in the Clearwell (which is the storage tank in
the Treatment Plant where water is stored
prior to being pumped to the distribution sys-
tem). These baffles should allow us to further
reduce the amount of chlorine added, to fur-
ther reduce TTHM formation while still hav-
ing enough chlorine to effectively disinfect
the water to prevent disease.
• After the baffles are installed we plan to
install mixers in the Bear Hill and Scituate
Hill Water Storage Tanks. These mixers will
constantly move the water through the tanks
and reduce water age, which should reduce
TTHM formation in the distribution system.
• Later in 2005 we plan to initiate pilot studies
to test the effectiveness of other treatment
methods on reducing TTHMs - such as
microfiltration, ozonization, MIEX. and
granulated activated carbon (GAC). We then
plan to implement those systems which show
the greatest positive impact during the pilot
period.
• Continued flushing of the distribution system
and replacement of undersized water mains.
What Does the Water Dept. Plan to Do To
Monitor TTHMs and Inform the Public in
2005?
• We are increasing the frequency of testing for
TTHMs from quarterly to monthly.
• We will issue regular press releases, commu-
nications in our bill stuffers, as well as infor-
mation on our web page (www.cohassetwa-
ter.org) to inform the public of the TTHM
levels found, the actions we have taken, and
the status of our compliance with the 80 ppb
TTHM standard.
• We expect, however, that we will continue to
see an RAA for TTHM's in excess of 80 ppb
through the first half of 2005 as we continue
to work to lower TTHM levels

Red flag raised
on water quality
FROM WATER QUALITY, PAGE 1
of the Cohasset Water
Commission, is optimistic the
problem can be corrected soon.
The Cohasset Water
Department is working very dili-
gently to solve this problem and
expects to be able to bring the
Water Department into compli-
ance no later than July." he said.
; Testing for TTHMs is a regula-
tion that did not apply to the town
prior to 2004, McNabb said pre-
viously, only large cities with a
population of more than 10.000
residents were required to test.
"Jit's been on our radar screen,"
he said, adding the department
has been aware of the chemical
since he came on the board in
J997. but at that point, the testing
regulations did not apply.
• Compliance with the TTHM
standard is based on the average
of four quarterly samples.
McNabb said levels were consis-
tently high in various areas of
town, meaning no one area is
being affected more or less than
any others. Tests were conduct-
ex] at various points in town,
including Whitehead Road, the
Cohasset Harbor Resort, the
Osgood School, and the Scituate
Tennis Club.
- Cohasset's water supply
includes the Aaron River
Reservoir and Lily Pond, and the
Water Department has been
working since early 2003 to meet
the 80 ppb standard. However,
improvements to its treatment
plant did not take effect soon
enough in 2004 to reduce the
"running annual average." said
McNabb.
""Our problem with TTHMs is
the high level of organic growth
in Lily Pond." he said.
McNabb said Cohasset will
take more steps such as changing
the chlorination method, and
installing baffles in the storage
tank at the treatment plant and
mixers in the two standpipes to
lower TTHMs levels. A baffle is
a barrier in the clearwell (or tank i
that can effect a maze for the
water to follow. This ensures
when the chlorine is injected at a
certain point, it will have time to
dissolve in all the water, he said.
The Water Department will also
expedite putting the Ellms
Meadow wellfield back on line.
Whose 100,000 gallons per day is
expected to improve the overall
water quality of tap water and
lower TTHMs levels in
Cohasset.

Department to notify its users of

the elevated levels of TTHMs.
Joe Ferson. DEP spokesman
said. He explained that there is
no immediate health risk but
people who drink water with ele-
vated levels of the chemical over
many years can experience
health problems. The DEP will
be working with Cohasset to
resolve the problem, which is not
uncommon. Ferson said last year
Danvers experienced a similar
problem.
Health Agent Dr. Joseph
God/ik said he was informed of
the water quality situation this
week, and said in his experience,
he has heard nothing but conflict-
ing reports regarding TTHMs
because it was only discovered in
1975. He said some studies
show there is an increased risk of
problems in laboratory animals
who experience prolonged expo-
sure to TTHMs. but that does not
necessarily mean there will be
the same effect on humans. He
said any granular activated car-
bon filter should be effective in
removing TTHMs from water,
but it is best to check the label to
be sure the filters say they can
successfully remove the chemi-
cal.
In addition. McNabb said leav-
ing open containers of water in
the refrigerator for a couple of
hours has also been shown to
reduce the amount of TTHMs in
water.
Effect on Hingham
This fall, a three-party inter-
connection agreement with
Aquarion in Hingham. the
Cohasset Water Department and
Erickson Retirement
Communities is slated to go into
effect. Under the 20-year agree-
ment. Erickson can purchase up
to 300,000 gallons per day from
Cohasset for Linden Ponds, the
2,000-unit retirement community
being built off Whiting Street
(Rte. 53) in Hingham.
Initially Erickson will purchase
roughly 15,000 gallons per day
reaching the 300,000 in May
2013 when Linden Ponds is
expected to be fully built. The
15,000 gallons equates to less
than I percent of the average
daily demand in the Aquarion
system that serves Hingham.
Hull and North Cohasset.
according to Larry Bingaman.
senior vice president of opera-
lions at Aquarion.
Bingaman doesn't think the
interconnection agreement will
be affected because the Cohasset
Water Department is working
hard to correct the problem.
"They have kept in close touch
with us about this particular
issue." Bingaman said. "And we
are in close contact with them.
"I think Cohasset has been very
proactive in trying to resolve the
issue in 2(XH and once other
actions are taken in 2005. it
seems as though in due course
the problem will be corrected."
To get water to Linden Ponds.
Cohasset water will enter the
northern part of the Hingham
system off Chief Justice Cushing
Highway (Rte. 3 A); Aquarion
provides a like amount of water
to Linden Ponds in the southern
part of the system. "It's not a
direct supply." Bingaman said.
Bingaman explained Aquarion
essentially acts as the transporta-
tion system for the water being
purchased by Erickson. "We get
a wheeling fee." he said.
The Cohasset water will be
mixed with Hingham water at the
Turkey Hill lank. Once Linden
Ponds is fully built out. the
300.IKX) gallons would make up
roughly 8-1/2 percent of the
average daily demand in the
Hingham system. Bingaman
said.
Bingaman said if the problem
is not corrected, the interconnec-
tion agreement will be delayed.
He also explained that il tesis
reveal a problem at any lime after
the interconnection starts, the
connection with Cohasset can be
turned off.
Residents will receive a inuilinx
from the Cohasset Water
Department this week outlining
the water quality problem.

Searching for Gulf War vets
The Cohasset Veterans
Memorial Committee is look-
ing to find Cohasset residents
who served in the Armed
Forces during the Persian Gulf
War. The recently updated
Cohasset Veterans Memorial
Committee Web site has posted
honor rolls for every war dating
back to the Civil War. as well as
hero profiles and information
about Gold Star mothers.
Currently, the committee has an
honor roll page for the Persian
Gulf War on its Web site, with
21 names on the list, and is
looking to ensure all who
served in the war are included.
In addition, the committee is
always looking to update its
lists for other wars, and resi-
dents are asked to send along
the names of any veterans who
have not been included to date.

Whitehead project largest of home site plan reviews
SAMBRCWmCNCCOM
Large Home Site Plan
reviews do not normally
draw a crowd at Planning
Board meetings, but when the
renovation of the home in ques-
tion is a project akin to a commer-
cial development, neighbors take
notice.
John Cavanaro of John
Cuvanaro Consulting came before
the Planning Board Wednesday to
present what is quite possibly the
largest Large Home Site Plan
Review the board will ever see. A
large brick dilapidated Georgian-
style home, located on Whitehead
Island (at the end of Whitehead
road off Atlantic Avenue), will be
razed and a new shingle-style
home will be constructed in its
place, which developers say is
much more in keeping with the
character of Cohasset. This June.
H. MacKen/ie Freeman, a noted
eye specialist, sold the 15-room
house for $7.3 million in a private
sale.
The house, built in 1908. sits on
an island promontory at the
mouth of Cohasset Harbor and
possesses the most spectacular
360-degree vistas including an
unfettered view of Minot Ledge
Light. Tom Hamilton, president
of Dean and Hamilton Realtors on
Elm Street, sold the home to
Freeman some 26 years ago for
about $500,000. At the time it was
the largest residential sale for an
individual home on a lot in New
England.
Cavanaro. along Jay Graham
who is acting on behalf of the
owner Whitehead Road Limited
realty trust, architect Jeannie
Vanecko or Vanecko Ltd., and
landscape architect Dan Solien of
Horuchi & Solien. presented the
board w ith plans to raze the cur-
rent 6,590 square lixit structure,
and replace it with 1 3.768 square
feet of living space with a new
landscape design. In addition, the
owner would like to rebuild the
bridge which provides access to
the island, restoring it to its origi-
nal stone arch. To reconstruct the
bridge, a permit from the Army
Corps of Engineers will be
required, as any work done below
the mean water line requires a
special permit.
The home will have the same
vv idth and orientation as it current-
//. Mm Kcicic Freeman, a noted eye specialist, sold thh brick. ( 'leoryrian t ohmial at I'm II hitehead Road for s " 3 million m a pri-
vate sale last June. The new ow ner is giinx In nee the "Id Home mid bllttd " new one m the w/c
ly has. but the position of Ihe
house will change slightly, as it
will be drawn closer to the center
of the island Cavanaro said the
owner - w hose name has not been
made public — has small chil-
dren, and would like lo be able to
have a large backyard for them lo
play in. Once the home is reposi-
tioned, the yard will be flattened
out in certain areas and retaining
walls will be added
The home is situated on 2.3
acres of land, which is the mea-
surement from the mean high
water line Under the Large
House Sile Plan hvlaw. ihe home
itself cannot exceed 20 percent lot
coverage, and the house togethei
with other impervious surfaces
cannot exceed 30 percent lot cov-
erage When construction is com
plete. the home and all imper\ ious
Surfaces together will cover 23
percent of the properly.
Vanecko said because' the home
is ihe centerpiece for those enter-
big Cohasset harbor, every efforl
was made lo design the home
with cascading ruollines and neighbor! will have many con-
archilcctural features which help ccms In fact, mam abutters

said Ihe home was designed lo
"give ii a loi of Interest."
Solien said in terms ol landscap-
ing. "What we do there will he
more beautiful thai ever existed.''
adding the yard has not been kept
up. He said plans include remov-
ing very few trees from the site,
and ihose that can he replanted
will be relocated on sile. He said
with the harsh ocean weather the
island receives, plantings have lo
he very carefulh considered, and
hearty varieties that can thrive in a
seashore setting will be planted
(inly in die more sheltered areas
will ornamental ptantings be con-
sidered
In .Kldition to plantings, ihe sue

"Our commitment is to ir> to

will also become a necessity as
larger ones may not be able lo

Vanecko said the development
team w ill he considering whether
il makes sense to bring in some
supplies by barge.
Developers said they will meet
with neighbois on a monthly
basis io ensure every concern is
mitigated as much as possible,
and abutters in attendance said
iliey were willing lovvork togeth-

Thanks for
speaking up
Before 2005 gets too far along, we still have some impor-
tant 2004 business to attend to.
Some of the following names may be familiar to you.
Others may not be. But the people attached to these names all have
one tiling in common: they wrote at least one letter-to-the-editor or
penned a commentary to the Cohasset Mariner in 2004.
A few wrote thank you notes to the people of Cohasset or organi-
zations for their help or support; others complained about a deci-
sion or lobbied to have their views considered; while still others
educated us about pnigrams. problems or activities.
But no matter v> hat the subject, putting pen to paper to share
your views with your fellow citizens is important. The First
Amendment is close to our hearts here in the newspaper business

The editorial pages of the Cohasset Mariner belong to you. It's
where you can speak out or just say thank you to a citizen or group
that went beyond the call of duty.
Sometimes it takes a good dose of courage to let your voice be
heard but we think it's worth it. Often one voice is all the inspira-
tion needed to propel others to acti<m.
Last year, the Cohasset Mariner received 229 letters from 168
different people, groups or organizations.
To those of you that have thought about writing and haven't
please reconsider. To those whom we hear from on a regular basis,
keep writing!
There are lots of weeks to go in the New Year - which will be
filled with events, decisions, happenings and controversy. Let us
hear what you think in 2005.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Questioning
assessments
to THE Editor:
If I were smart. I wouldn't
write this letter because it is com-
mon wisdom that you never
question a Board of Assessors
openly. Disagreements should be
addressed very discretely.
Unfortunately, I'm not very
smart: so here goes.
Until Mark Haddad arrived, the
Town used to do "efficiency
audits" of different Town depart-
ments each year. The audits were
not necessarily to identify
malfeasance, but were more in
the nature of "policy compliance
audits" and to assess whether any
organizational/procedural
improvements should be imple-
mented.
I acknowledge that I have
always been concerned about
conflicts of interest on the Board
of Assessors: things such as fam-
ily members working in the
office and having elected rela-
tives on the Board or having a
real estate appraiser on the Board
who is aggressively advertising
his/her services while setting pol-
icy and approving assessments.
One thing lost in the turmoil of
the past 18 months was a note-
worthy item on the table to elim-
inate an elected board of asses-
sors. If this option is legal: it has
merit. About lOyears ago. than
Selectman Merle Brown assured
me that the Board of Assessors
was in-line for such an audit. It
never happened. I don't know
why because these audits are not
expensive since they only focus
on one department per year.
Normally, the recommendations
lead to efficiency improvements
thai provide a multi-fold return
on investment(ROI) in the first
year.
Three years ago. 1 went to
Mark Haddad to express concern
that tri-annual assessments
resulted in wild evaluation fluc-
tuations even in the same neigh-
borhoods and on the same
streets. The fluctuations cut both
ways, inexplicable upwards and
downwards deviations for certain
properties not explained by
major renovations or additions.
This means that some people
were either paying much higher
or lower taxes than fair.
For example, on our street of
21 properties, assessments varied
by increases of +19 percent to
+44 percent and there were no
major changes to the particular
properties during the past three
years. For example, sixteen land
assessments went up by +58per-
cent while the other five
increased by 63/66/76/86 &
86percent or an average of
+63percent for all 21 properties!
It's ridiculous to think that 76
percent of the properties on
Windy Hill Road increased in
value by exactly the same per-
cent(58percent). That could only
happen if Windy Hill Road was a
"cookie-cutter" development.
This situation is not unique to
Windy Hill Road.

standardized formulas for most
revaluations. The range of house
valuation changes was more con-
sistent with maximum increase
of +6percent and a maximum
decrease of -7perceni: or, an
average of -I percent (despite
many additions/renovations/
landscaping improvements). I
know they're not making land
anymore, bul +63percent versus
- 1 percent seems rather extreme.
On our street, the combined
land/house tri-annual revalua-
tions equated to +25percent At
the time, Cheryl Pooler, the full-
time assessor was leaving or had
just left and Mark Haddad
promised that "the Town" would
do a lOOpercent on-site re-evalu-
ation before the next tri-annual
valuation. It was a promise not
kept.
I wasn't surprised, because a
lOOpercent on-site re-valuation
would be expensive and no bud-
get provision was made. I had
always suggested to Merle
Brown that the lOOpercent on-
site re-valuation be done cycli-
cally!'I Opercent/ year over a 10-
year period) so that the Town
would only have to do about 350
properties per year rather than
3.500 properties in one to three
years.
This year's tri-annual assess-
ment results are no exception. To
put things in perspective; the tax
rate was reduced by 12.2 percent
while residential assessments
increased an average of 1 8.9per-
cent. My property tax increased
by 14.9percent versus last year.
Nothing meaningful has been
done to either the land or house
in the past 15 years. The cut-off
for sales impacting valuations
was Dec. 31, 2003. I accept the
fact that properties near the
oceanfront appreciate faster than
those inland.
So, here is where we stand.
Some people will file appeals
this month. The Board of
Assessors will offer a few minor
concessions to correct obvious
errors but primarily to stave-off
appeals. It is only natural that the
Board that set the valuations is
going to have "pride of author-
ship" and be reluctant to approve
many significant appeals. For
most residents, the only sensible
recourse will be to take the
Cohasset Board of Assessors
response and appeal it to The
Commonwealth of
Massachusetts Appellate Tax
Board.

Positive solution
to sewering possible
To the Editor:
In his recent letter to the
Cohasset Mariner (Dec. 31,
2004) Murray Campbell advo-
cated pro-actively increasing
waste treatment capacity in
Cohasset. This is a prudent
approach to meeting Cohasset's
need for more sewering. We have
an opportunity to implement this
approach if developers and the
Town were to cooperate and
work together to develop
increased waste treatment capac-
ity. Combining the resources of
the developers and the Town in a
coordinated, integrated effort
would be much more productive
than the current approach of
demand, deny, litigate, and
appeal. In this way. the develop-
ers could be satisfied and addi-
tional new capacity made avail-
able to the Town's residents.
The Town should consider ini-
tiating an effort to bring all par-
ties together and develop a plan
in which the Town and the devel-
opers are both best served.
We should think at a higher,
more innovative level where
developers and the Town work as
a team rather than as adversaries
and where the wants of the devel-
opers are satisfied, not by taking
capacity away from existing
Town residents, but by develop-
ing new capacity for themselves
and for residents as well. It could
produce a win-win solution for
all.

clarification
TO THE EDITOR:
In regards to the article written
by Steve Bobo on Health Notes
Get a move on - at the
Community Center I thought it
was wonderful. I would like to
clarify one paragraph. I realize
Steve was referring to the
Counsel of Elder Affairs when he
mentioned that many of the
Center's activities are sponsored
by State funding, however, 1 am
not sure everyone understands
that. The South Shore
Community Center receives no
Federal or State funding. We are
two separate entities. Many peo-
ple get this confused because we
are botii located in the same
building.

Devastation hits close to home
Family rushes to aid
tsunami victims
By Kathy Bulpett
KBULPEn»CNC.COM
As news of the tsunami disaster unfolded, Sanji
Fernando and his family moved into action.
Femando's mother and father, both natives of Sri
Lanka knew it was a bad situation that was worsen-
ing by the minute.
Although details were sketchy at first, the family
quickly realized the extensive damage of their
homeland after speaking with relatives and friends
still living in the area, long before the pictures and
videos were broadcast.
"I don't think any of us initially
knew the scope of it all."
p„ ,.11 t; 1
— vain remunao
"I don't think any of us initially knew the scope of
it all," said Fernando, who lives on North Main
Street in Cohasset.
The tsunami, which struck south Asia on Dec. 26,
has killed more than 139,000 people, with the death
toll continuing to rise daily. An estimated 94,000
people are dead in Indonesia, and more than 30,000
have lost their lives in Sri Lanka, the two countries
hardest hit by the tsunami, which was caused by an
earthquake in the Indian Ocean.
Fernando, visiting his in-laws for Christmas in
Colorado, made contact with the rest of his family
celebrating Christmas in California. The extended
family quickly formulated a plan, even though they
were all miles apart from one another, and from their
respective homes.
Dr. Kumu Fernando. Sanji's mother and a physi-
cian in Woodbridge. Conn., wanted to organize a
large shipment of badly needed items to the hardest
hit areas of Sri Lanka. Her idea was to ship 5(X) care
packages for victims of the tsunami, putting them
directly into the hands of who need il most.
"As the numbers grew and clearly there was a
need, she wanted to do something that would get
items directly to the people." said Fernando. He says
his mother wanted to avoid bureaucratic red tape of
the sometimes corrupt government agencies in Sri
Lanka.
After consulting with family friend Ravi Perera of
Queens, N.Y.. who owns an import and export com-
pany of Sri Lakan goods, the group decided to lease
a container. Perera offered to help, seeing the con-
tainer through the maze of customs and legal issues
by accompanying the container to Sri Lanka She
contacted family and friends still living in the area to
meet the container, arranging for it to be shipped
directly to Hambonlota. an area especially hard hit.
The large shipping container is scheduled to arrive
on a flat bed to Femando's family's home in
Connecticut, with a two-hour window to pack it full.
"That isn't MX) much time, we will have to work
quickly and have everything ready." says Fernando.
The container is scheduled to leave New York City
by Iwat on Saturday (Jan. 8). arriving in Sri Lanka
the last week of January.
PHOTO/KATHY BUIPET-
Sanji Fernando s North Main Street home has been mi ned into a collection center for dothing and
materials to he donated to tsunami victims in Sri Lanka, where Fernando i family has many rela-
tives and friends.
With the details in place to pack and ship the con-
tainer, the call went out via e-mail, phone to friends
and relatives in the United States to donate used
tropical weight clothes: toiletries, towels and basic-
foods.
People have responded.
"The extended communities through friends and
family has generated a lot of support and dona-
tions." said Fernando. A former coworker of
Femando's drove down from the North Shore to
drop off many bags of clothing, while corporations
such as Gillette have stepped up. offering to donate
toiletries items such as razors for the relief effort
Yvon Chouinard and Vishul Vasishlh ottered to
donate T-shirts, shorts, and Capilene from
Patagonia, a clothing company.
Friends Graham and Julia Schelter brought dona-
tions collected from the Boston and Brookline area.
Recently arriving at Femando's house was 35 bags
of lightweight used clothing, and 15 boxes of mis-
cellaneous items courtesy of Jim and Laura
Campbell and their Boy Scout troop from Norwell.
There are also donations from the Cape area. "I'm
overwhelmed. The response has been great." said
Fernando.
In Femando's Cohasset home, the dining room has
turned into the relief center, with boxes, tilled trash
bags, and suitcases piled high full of clothing and
toiletries to be packed and shipped to Sri Lanka
Each care package contains clothing, toiletries,
food, and utensils for six to eight people. Dal. a Sri
Lankan lentil staple, and rice are the only food items
going at this time. "We are packing for large family
groups. Many families live together across genera-
tions in Sri Lanka, grandparents, parents, kids." said
Fernando.
Fernando said although he is the first generation
bom in America, his parents and their families .ill
emigrated from Sri Lanka in the 1970s and 80s.
Having the strong ties of friends and relatives m Sri
Lanka endure this tragedy has been hard on his fam-
ily, as well as many other families that have immi-
grated to the United States. 'It's very hard to think
Of the scale of the magnitude and implications the
disaster has had on my mother's generation,*' said
Fernando.
Fernando, who has lived in Cohasset for about a
year and a half, said he really hasn't "plugged in" to
many neighbors yet, SO he is surprised at the level of
support from people living in the South Shore [own.
For his family, doing something on a persona]
level was the best solution, but he is quick to point
out that larger organizations such as Oxfam, Red
Cross are the best at responding to these types of
tragedies on a larger scale.
Fernando said there is a possibility of another large
container being shipped, but the family wants to
make sure the first one arrives without incident.
Fernando, along w ith other family members, is plan-
ning to return to Sri Lanka to aid in the rebuilding of
homes and helping out where they are needed.
"The need isn't going to go away." said Fernando.
"People of Sri Lanka will need help tor a long time."
Fernando, who has taken time off from work 10
help organize the effort, is renting a truck to haul the
donated goods to Connecticut. Combined with
donations generated from friends and relatives in his
hometown and across the United States; he said
their efforts will make a difference.

HEALTH NOTES
List of water filters available
By Steve Bo bo
SPECIAL TO THE MARINER
The Cohasset Water Commission announced this
week the Water Department exceeded the standard
for Total Trihalomethanes (TTHMs) in drinking
water. They reported a level of 100 parts per billion
(ppb), which is higher than the Maximum
Contaminant Level (MCL) (established by the EPA)
of 80 ppb.
2004 was the first year that this TTHMs regulation
applied to Cohasset.
According to the Massachusetts Department of
Environmental Protection (DEP), it is not necessary
to use an alternative water supply, such as bottled
water. DEP advises that this is not an immediate
risk, but that "some people who drink water con-
taining trihalomethanes in excess of the MCL over
many years may experience problems with their
liver, kidneys, or central nervous system, and may
have an increased risk of getting cancer".
The EPA's web page states that "Since the discov-
ery of chlorinating byproducts in drinking water in
1974. numerous toxicological studies (studies on the
health effects from exposure to high dosages conta-
minants usually involving animals in a lab) have
been conducted. These studies have shown several
disinfection byproducts to be carcinogenic in labo-
A copy of this sheet may be

Health, the Water Department or
from the web at
ratory animals (e.g.. including bromate. certain tri-
halomethanes and haloacetic acids). Some disinfec-
tion byproducts have also been shown to cause
adverse reproductive or developmental effects in
laboratory animals (e.g.. chlorite and certain tri-
halomethanes and haloacetic acids). However, there
is too great an uncertainly involving the results of
high-dose, toxicological studies of some bypnxlucts
occurring in disinfected drinking water to estimate
the risk to humans from chronic exposure to low
doses of these and other byproducts.
The EPA concluded: "that while the agency can-
not conclude there is a causal link between exposure
to chlorinated surface water and cancer, these stud-
ies have suggested an association, albeit small,
between bladder, rectal, and colon cancer and expo-
sure to chlorinated surface water."
Many people have complained about drinking
"pond water" and some complain of the bad taste.
While there are studies that argue both sides of this
debate, the most recent and most credible Studies
show that drinking naturally balanced water with its
natural trace minerals is healthier than drinking de-
mineralized water.
So what do we do? John McNabb. Chairman of
the Water Commission, at Tuesday's Selectmen's
meeting described a very creditable program bv the
Water Department designed to reduce or eliminate
TTHMs from the water supply. They have been at
this since they became aware of the problem sever-
al years ago and they are making considerable
progress. At the Selectmen's meeting John suggest-
ed, in response to the Chairman's question about fil-
lers, thai some domestic water filters are available
which could treat TTHMs al the lap. The Board of
Health has prepared a listing of such tillers from a
comparison chart derived from each manufacturer's
"certified" performance data sheel . A copy of this
sheet may be obtained from the Board of Health, ihe
Water Department or from the web at: www.water-
filtercomparisons.net. For any other questions
regarding TTHMs contact the Board of Health
Steve Bobo is chairman of the Hoanl ot Health.

truth to the frequent rumor that I
intend to run for the Board of

pulled papers Tuesday with the
intention of retaining his current
position.
But on the flip side, School

run again lor his position because
of the cornrnrtmeni he has to his job
at Momenta Pharmaceuticals in
Cambridge. "Mv company went

W as appointed to take out lor Jane
Pescatore when she stepped down
from her seat in August of 2003 to
accept employment w ith the school
department. Selectmen and the
remaining members of the School
Committee, in a majority vole,
appointed shea to fill Pescatore's
sen until the Town Election. Shea
then ran to fill the one-year com-
mitment lett over from Pescatore's
term, and won. The seal which

w ill he a three-year seat.
Looking forward. Shea said he
wouldn't nile out another term on
the school board. "I'm open to it.
I'd like 10 do it again in the future
— if I gel time." he said.
But there are still those who
remain undecided, and Selectman
Koed said he w ill take one more
week to clecide whether he will run
again to keep his seal on the board.
"I'm weighing the pros and cons
and talking to people to see what
they think and getting a feel for
whether people think I'm making a
difference, or whether someone
else should have a rum," he said.
Koed said ultimately, his decision
will be made by weighing what is
best for him personally, versus
whai he can do for the town.
Koed has served in various
capacities of town government for
the past 19 years, including the
Board of Selectmen since 1999, a
three-year term on the Water
Commission, serving as Chairman
during pan of his lenn. two three-
year terms on the Housing
Authority, lor which he was
appointed by the Governor, and
one ihree-year term on the Fair

on the Advisory Comminee. where
he was also Chairman for a time.
He is also the town's Board of
Selectmen representative for the
Norfolk County Advisory Board.
McMorris said with the holidays
and her girls home from college. "I
haven') really thought about it." but
added once the dust settles, she will
make her decision. "I've really
enjoyed being a selectman." she
said, "It's certainly been fun." but
she will need some time to discuss
it w ith her family, as it is a big com-
mitment. However, regardless of
w hether she or someone else fills
her post, she said Cohasset is off to

FROM LETTERS, PAGE 8
Administrators faulted
for using poor
To THE kditor:
I am writing to voice my con-
cerns regarding the extremely
poor judgment and obvious
incompetence that was dis-
played on Monday morning,
Dec. 20. by Superintendent
Denise Walsh and Principal
De Lorenzo
As you are aware, the deci-
sion to continue with the
Middle School field trip to
Boston, after numerous warn-
ings all weekend long forecast-
ing severe temperature drop,
extreme icing conditions and
continuous light snow fall for
Monday ended with two
Cohasset bus accidents and
numerous injured to our chil-
dren, thankfully none of the
injuries were life threatening.
Also be informed that the Town
of Scituate canceled their trip
that day due to extremely poor
weather conditions. My child
was one of the children taken
off the bus in a stretcher along
with another young girl who
had smashed her teeth through
her bottom lip requiring stitch-
es in her face area. Fifteen stu-
dents, shaken and traumatize,
were all taken to local hospi-
tals.
Can anyone tell me what our
superintendent and high school
principal were thinking of.' Did
either of them drive themselves
to school that morning to
observe the icy conditions. Did
either of them listen to radio or
TV. weather forecast that
morning?
When my son informed me
Friday evening that he was
going on a field trip to Boston
Monday, I informed him that he
shouldn't plan on it because of
the forecast I had seen and
heard during that day regarding
Monday's weather. When
Monday morning arrived, I
informed my son that there cer-
tainly wouldn't be any trips to
Boston that day, with the icy,
snowy conditions, my wife, a
Weymouth school teacher, also
agreed.
Several hours later. I was
informed by a Boston hospital
that my child was in fact one of
the children injured in an acci-
dent and that I should immedi-
ately come on to Boston to be
with him.
Can you imagine how I felt?
How all the other parents felt
when they got the word? Why.
because of extreme poor judg-
ment incompetence and poor
planning that was displayed
Monday morning, it is unac-
ceptable!
Furthermore. DeLorenzo
informed the Mariner that he
was told ai the scene that
weather did not play a role in
the accident. By who was he
told? That's simply a self serv-
ing statement to cover his neg-
ligence in allowing the field
trip to continue in dangerous
weather conditions. I spoke to
the state police and they
informed me that the weather
conditions were a direct cause
of the accident and that there
were numerous other accidents
also caused by the poor weath-
er conditions.
If these individuals in charge
plan on being employed and
having a future with our school
system, then I strongly suggest
they make a concerted effort to
take the proper time to make
conscientious, safe thought
through decisions, when it con-
cerns the lives of our children.
When Principal DeLorenzo
appeared on T.V. and so bluntly
slated thai if the children were a
little older and bigger, no one
would have been injured
because older children can hold
on tighter than small students.
Well. Mr. DeLorenzo to thai
comment. I replay "If you
weren't principal, maybe no
one would have been injured at
all because another, more ratio-
nal thinking, principal surely
would have canceled the field
trip under such poor weather
conditions." The parents, resi-
dents and taxpayers of
Cohasset don't deserve incom-
petence on this level when it
comes down to making conse-
quential safety decisions for
our children.
Hopefully, a blunder of this
magnitude will not occur again
and the individuals responsible
will take situations more seri-
ous in the future.

What you may not know
about the Greenbush train
INCLUSIVE IN DEPTH INDEPENDENT INDIVIDUAL INTERACTIVE
While construction is under-
way, it can be hard to imagine
that trains are expected to be
rolling through Hingham in
less than two years. The fol-
lowing information is provid-
ed by the MBTA to update res-
idents, property owners, and
other interested parties about
the project:
Greenbush rail service is
scheduled to start in mid-2006.
The line is being built as miti-
gation for the Central
Artery/Tunnel Project in
downtown Boston. The basic
purpose is to reduce automo-
bile traffic on the congested
highways leading into down-
town Boston by diverting
South Shore commuter traffic
from automobiles to public
transit.
• There will be 12 trips each
way on weekdays. Trains will
operate between approximate-
ly 5:45 a.m. and 1 1 p.m.
• More than 4.200 passen-
gers are expected to ride the
Greenbush Line each way by
the year 2010 every weekday.
• Weekend service will be
offered on a reduced schedule
similar to other commuter rail
lines, with eight round trips
planned for Saturdays and
Sundays.
• A one-way trip from
Greenbush in Scituate to
Boston's South Station will
take about an hour.
• The estimated cost is $479
million.
• More than 3,000 parking
spaces are being constructed at
the seven Greenbush Line sta-
tions, including 500 at
Nantasket Junction (the for-
mer Hingham Lumber site)
and 200 in West Hingham on
Fort Hill Street near the South
Shore Country Club.
• All the trains and stations
will be handicapped accessi-
ble.
• There will be a charge for
parking at Greenbush Line sta-
tions.
• Each station platform will
have a lighted shelter with
benches and passenger infor-
mation displays. There will be
no attendants or enclosed wait-
ing rooms.
• All Greenbush trains will
stop at the Quincy Center Red
Line station.
• There are no changes
planned in commuter boat ser-
vice as part of the Greenbush
project. (Hingham commuter
boat improvements are
planned in conjunction with
the revitalization of the
Hingham Shipyard.)
• The Greenbush Line is
being designed to qualify as a
"Quiet Zone," which means
train whistles will not be rou-
tinely sounded at grade cross-
ings.
• The MBTA and local police
will work together to enforce
parking restrictions around
commuter parking lots to keep
commuters from parking on
side streets and business park-
ing lots.
• The trains will operate at
speeds up to 60 mph. Trains
will travel slower around sta-
tion stops and sharp curves.
• The trains will typically
have five or six coaches using
a mix of single- and double-
level cars. The line is designed
to accommodate trains with up
to nine cars.
• Station lights will be timed
to shut off after the last train of
the evening (about 11:30
p.m.).
• The MBTA does not oper-
ate freight service. While
freight service could potential-
ly be expanded east of East
Braintree. where local rail
freight service currently oper-
ates, it is unlikely due to a lack
of potential freight customers
along the line.
• Herbicides are sprayed
along the railroad tracks as
required to control vegetation
growth. Spraying is generally
done annually in the summer
and uses only herbicides
approved by the Pesticide
Bureau of the Massachusetts
Department of Agricultural
Resources. Spraying is
restricted in wetland areas,
around drinking water wells
and reservoirs, and in windy
conditions.
• The MBTA participates in
the national Operation
Lifesaver railroad safety edu-
cation program, which pro-
vides information to schools
and community groups
through municipal police
departments,
• There will be 25 public and
three private grade crossings
on the Greenbush Line. Fifteen
that were in the original plan
will be eliminated through
construction underpasses in
Hingham Square, Weymouth
Landing, and Weymouth
Heights, an overpass at Rocky
Lane in Cohasset. and the clo-
sure or avoidance of seven
other crossings.
• The MBTA is committed to
providing safe grade cross-
ings, equipping all of them
with warning systems consist-
ing of flashing red lights, bells,
and gates. Because the
Greenbush line will be a
"Quiet Zone." additional safe-
ly measures such as median
strips or four-quadrant gates
will he installed at most cross-
ings. MBTA personnel will
inspect and maintain the cross-
ing warning systems on a reg-
ular basis to ensure that they
are kept in good working
order.
• Four-quadrant gates block
both lanes in each direction,
while two-quadrant gates
block only .the right lanes and
•are often combined with medi-
an barriers to prevent
motorists from cutting around
the gate.
• There will be fencing in all
inhabited and public areas, or
along about 85 percent of the
line. In most cases, six-foot
high, heavy-duty chain link
fencing will be placed along
the railroad property lines.
Good news for Greenbush
FROM GREENBUSH, PAGE 1
to be up and running sometime
in 2006. Carlisle said.
John Bewick, train critic and
president of AfTA (Advocates
for Transportation Alternatives),
said while disappointed. AfTA is
not going to abandon the fight
for lower cost, more efficient
service including expanded
commuter boats, greater access
to the Plymouth Line of the Old
Colony Railroad and greater use
of the Red Line. He said AfTA
will appeal the Army Corps per-
mit in federal court. Appeals
must be launched within 30
days, Bewick explained.
"The facts are unchanged,"
said Bewick, a former state
Secretary of Environmental
Affairs. "Greenbush is fiscally
irresponsible. The project will
cost $360,000 per car removed
during rush hour during a time
when the MBTA is cutting back
on bus and ferry service.
"The rail project is going to
add a tremendous about to the
Ts operating deficit and capital
budget repayments when there
are alternatives that are less cost-
ly, less environmentally damag-
ing and more efficient."
Bewick explained AfTA's
grounds for the appeal include
the fact the Army Corps did not
do a full Environmental Impact
Statement (EIS). but issued a
Finding of No Significant
Impact, dubbed a FONSI.
instead.
That's absurd on a $500 mil-
lion project." he said, adding the
Environmental Protection
Agency back in 1 999 asked for a
full EIS on the project.
"We have solid grounds for
appeal in court," Bewick said,
adding there are major issues
surrounding the train's impact on
Scituate's water supply.
Ted Lento of the Army Corps
of Engineers said as a result of
the FONSI. the corps conducted
an Environmental Assessment,
which is roughly 60 pages. "Our
conclusion was there was not
significant impact to the envi-
ronment under the Corps'
authority (including aquatic and
historic impacts) so no EIS was
done." he explained. An EIS is
also a lengthy process, taking
years and costing millions of
dollars. Lento said.
The federal permit means wet-
lands work can get underway in
Weymouth. Braintree and
Hingham but not Cohasset and
Scituate where appeals to the
state Department of
Environmental wetlands vari-
ance issued for the project are
still pending. Lento said the fed-
eral permit cannot supercede the
need for the local variance.
The Army Corps, as the closest
federal agency to the project,
also required the project comply
with other federal statutes such
as the Historic Preservation Act.
Thus the Army Corps helped
work out agreements with the
five towns (dubbed program-
matic agreements), the
Massachusetts Historical
Commission, and the MBTA
detailing mitigation for noise,
vibration and visual impacts
along the corridor which runs
through several historic districts
and dozens of historic properties.
The historic impacts and the
controversial nature of
Greenbush that was put on hold
and subsequently restarted by a
series of Massachusetts gover-
nors, has made the permitting
process a time-consuming one.
Lento explained.
The federal Army Corps per-
mit has 15 conditions: there's
also a water quality certificate
that involves issues such a ero-
sion control, vernal pools and
storm-water management issued
by the DEP with 100 conditions
that is part of the Army Corps
permit Lento said.
One of the federal permit con-
ditions requires the MBTA to
implement the programmatic
agreement signed with the five
towns including resolving issues
involving fencing, the final
design of the Scituate round-
about, and the ventilation struc-
tures and communication tower
for the Hingham tunnel. Other
examples of conditions include
wetlands mitigation and requir-
ing the MBTA to hire a full-time,
independent environmental
monitor who reports to the DEP
and Army Corps to watch over t
he project.
Lento said the Army Corps
will stay involved in the project.
He said a technical advisory
committee is meeting every
month or two to review con-
struction and compliance with
the permit conditions. The com-
mittee includes the Army Corps,
DEP. local conservation com-
missions, the environmental
monitor, and the MBTA
Greenbush's two sister lines.
Plymouth and Middleboro also
required a federal wetlands per-
mit. The MBTA broke
Greenbush off as a separate pro-
ject back in the early 1990s,
which also meant a separate
Army Corps permit would be
required.
Local legislators and
Greenbush opponents, state Sen.
Robert Hedlund. R-Weymouth.
and state Rep. Garrett Bradley.
D-Hingham. are both disap-
pointed but not surprised by the
Army Corps issuing the permit.
"It's very discouraging to those

Bradley said. " I do think the
project is going to be a burden to
the community and the taxpay-
ers."
Hedlund said he is upset by
comments from the Grabauskas'
office that AITA's lawsuits,
which have caused delays, are
driving up the cost of the project.
"The costs have been increas-
ing all along." he said. Hedlund
also said Greenbush will eat up
money that could be used for
other badly needed capital pro-
jects, such as Green Line and
Blue Line extensions.
Carlisle, Grabauskas'
spokesman, pointed out the
Transportation Office is batting
nearly 1,000. "There have been
10 legal actions and eight have
been resolved or dropped (in our
favor) so far." he said.
But Bewick said no one should
count AfTA out. "We're like the
Red Sox in the series with the
Yankees after game three." he

Six CHS wrestlers
place in Marshfield
holiday tournament
Casey, Littauer
take first; Kehoe
finishes second
By Mark Goodman
MGOODMAN»CNC COM
Cohasset wrestling once again
served notice last week that they
are a viable contender for a state
championship.
Led by senior co-captains Matt
Casey and Jon Littauer. who
both won the tournament in their
individual weight classes, the
Skippers placed third overall in
the 24-team Marshfield tourna-
ment at Marshfield High School
last week.
Casey dominated the competi-
tion from the beginning, not
allowing a single point until his
semifinal win over Marshfield's
Mike Pronk. He defeated anoth-
er strong opponent. North
Attleboro's Matt C/iria. in the
championship match of the 171-
pound weight class.
Cohasset head coach Torin
Sweeney said Casey's success is
the result of a lot hard work and
overall improvement in his
wrestling skills.
"Matt has definitely in.proved
his technique." Sweeney said.
"He's developed a couple differ-
ent takedowns from the neutral
position, and some pinning com-
binations from the top position. I
think those have been the
biggest keys for him."
Joining Casey in the victory
parade was Littauer in the 119-
pound class. Much like his class-
mate, Littauer dominated the
competition, highlighted by two
first-period pins in his first two
matches.
The performance bodes well
for a potential run in the state
tournament for Littauer.
"He's certainly in the mix,"
Sweeney said. "Of course, you
have to have a lot of things go

The going gets tough
By Mike Spellman
MSPEUMANGC NC.COM
All ii lakes is one goal to
change the outlook and momen-
tum of a hockey game.
Unfortunately for the Cohasset
High hockey team last Friday,
there were two against them.
The Skippers were less than -40
seconds away from going into
the second intermission trailing
Patriot League power Scituate
by just one goal. Up to that
point, down a couple of key
players, this was a feat for which
the CHS skaters could hold their
heads high.
That's when the roof caved in.
A pair of goals 17 seconds
apart enabled the Sailors to take
a 3-0 lead into the third period,
and was seen as the turning
point in the 5-1 win.
"That was a tough thing to
overcome." said Skippers head
coach Ben Virga. "I probably
should have had my top line out
there for the last minute, though,
so I'll take the blame for that."
With 35 seconds to go in the
middle frame. Scituate leading
scorer Chris Travis (goal, three
assists) was able to get himself
open by the right post to re-
Two quick strikes lead to

feed from the left comer past

Travis then won the ensuing
face-off to Kirkbride. who hit

then roofed it over his catcher to
make it a 3-0 game with 18.3
seconds showing.
Up until that point. Pamell
had been keeping his mates in
the game with one big save after
the other, but the junior simply
had no chance on either of these
tallies.
"I think (Pamell) might be the
best goalie in Div. 3." said vet-
eran Scituate coach Mike
Breen. "He really had our guys
shaking their heads for a while."
Needless to say. those two
quick hitters right before the
break loosened things up con-
siderably in the Scituate locker
nxim prior to the third period.
This was actually u scoreless
game through a period and a
half, but Kirkbride broke the ice
at 7:54 of the middle frame
when he somehow buried a bad
angle shot from the right comer
on the power play .
Scituate's top trio would also
put the final nail in the colli n in
this one. as Travis took a pass
from Kirkbride coming out
from the left comer, beat his
man with a nifty crossover
move and got a shot on to force
Parnell down. Callahan was
camped out by the far post for
the easy put back. These three
players all picked up their fourth
points of the game on this tally
with 6: 1 3 to play, closing out the
scoring at 5- 1 .
Cohasset had a ray of hope
delivered at 5:28 of the third
period when captain Tim
Pilczak buried a slap shot from
the left point, making it a 3-1
game.
It took the Sailors less than a
minute to get that back, howev-
er, as Brendan L&ffiri poked
hi mie a rebound during a Hurry
in Iron! of Pamell
Also playing well in ihe loss
lor the Skippers were captains
Ted Slraughn. Pilc/ak and Joe
Durkin. forced recently by per-
sonnel losses to move from for-
ward to defense.
Virga. who saw his under-
manned squad fall to 1-2. had
little to say after ihe loss. The
CHS skaters were coming off a
7-1 decision cm the road two
days earlier to perennial Central
Mass. Power East

Boys prep for league foes
By Mark Goodman
MGOODMAN0CNC COM
After more than a week of
practice, the Cohasset boys
hoops team is ready for the
games that matter most.
With undefeated Abington
coming to town tonight. Ihe
Skippers kick off their South
Shore League schedule.
The Green Wave, led by one
of the league's best players in
point guard Bill Carey, figure to
pose a lough challenge for
Dorian Bryant's team.
The coach is hopeful, howev-
er, thai what his players have
been working on in practice
will lead to proper execution in
tonight's game.
"Abington is a team that likes
to get up and down the floor,"
Bryant said. "We've been work-
ing on rotating our kids back on
defense, defending the fast
break, and then finding the
shooters.
"We need to make Carey and
their other lop players work for
everything, for every single
shot."
Cohasset will face a different
kind of team Tuesday night
when ihev travel to Carver. The
Crusaders are a team that runs a
more controlled, half-court
style, mainly because of their
great size. Carver starts three 6-
foot-3 kids across their front-
line.
Fronlcourt players like Justin
Alexander and Chris Bryan will
play a large role in determining
With undefeated
Abington coming to
town tonight, the
Skippers kick off
how the blue and white fare
against Carver.
"They really attack the boards
with those three big guys,"
Bryant said of his team's Jan. 1 1
opponents. "The way we play
defense and rebound the ball is
going to be key. That's where
the game is going to be won."
The coach says his main goal
the last several days of practice
has been to work on the funda-
mental aspects of Ihe game.
"We've been working a lot on
our conditioning and our over-
all basketball skills." Bryant
said. "It's been a lot of funda-
mental work.
"We've also been starting to
really focus on our defense. You
have to start scheming for
things when you get into league
play."
There has also been a lol of
positional work, as players have
often been split in two groups:
the point guards and swing
men. and the big guys up front.
Bryant lauded his team, and in
particular junior captain Trevor
Brady. Alexander. Jon
McCarthy and Pat McCarthy
for improving both physically
and mentally.
"Little by little, these guys are
starting to pick things up now,"
Bryant said. "I think [last
week's) win versus Sacred
Heart was huge for us at that
point in time. They're learning
thai our plays work, and the
system works."
After Abington and Carver,
the 1-4 Skippers travel to anoth-
er league town, Harwich, next
Friday night.

performance was the fact that
in the filth-place match he
defeated an athlete. Sandwich's

ment.

T
0'Grady to receive award for
lifetime contributions to golf
By Art Dunphy
SPECIAL TO THE MARINER
PALM BEACH GARDENS,
Fla. — Patrick O'Grady of
Cohasset, the "father of the
modem golf shoe" and devel-
oper of the former Etonic PGA
Section Education Program,
has been named the 14th recip-
ient of the Ernie Sabayrac
Award for Lifetime
Contributions to the Golf
Industry.
O'Grady, 69. a native of
Chicago, HI., will be honored.
Jan. 28, 2005. in Orlando, Fla.,
at The 2004 PGA of America
Awards Program. The program,
held in conjunction with the
52nd PGA Merchandise Show,
begins at 5:00 p.m. at the
Orange County Convention
Center's Linda W. Chapin
Auditorium. A champagne
reception begins at 4:30 p.m.
A veteran of the sports equip-
ment industry for more than
four decades, O'Grady is cred-
ited as a driving force in the golf
shoe industry while with the
Etonic Company ( 1985-97). He
introduced the first waterproof
golf shoe, the first biomechani-
cal sole, better known as the
"stabilizer" technology; and
was instrumental in the spike-
less shoe technological
advances.
Spikeless golf shoes became
one of the biggest equipment
changes in the golf shoe indus-
try, and a movement that affect-
ed golf course maintenance and
led to more player enjoyment of
the game.
"Patrick O'Grady s contribu-
tions to the golf industry and
Section education are a reflec-
tion of his former "teacher.'
Ernie Sabayrac, and testimony
to Ernie's legacy in golf." said
PGA of America President
Roger Warren. "As one of
golf's premier sales pioneers,
Patrick stands among those
leaders in our industry.
"Through his more than 40
years of committing himself to
the betterment of the PGA
Professional, he has been a pos-
itive influence on the livelihood
of many men and women PGA
Professionals. We are very
pleased to present him with the
Ernie Sabayrac Award."
O'Grady was introduced to
golf while caddying for Anna
Mae "Babe" Ahem, owner of
the Evergreen Country Club on
the south side of Chicago, who
continues to operate Ihe club in
her 90s.
Following his discharge from
the U.S. Army in 1955.
O'Grady attended DePaul
University briefly before enter-
ing the construction business. In
1961. O'Grady dedicated him-
self to the sports equipment
industry, joining Wilson
Sporting Goods, and later
became national sales manager
for the legendary Sabayrac.
When IZOD and Footloy
split in 1979. O'Grady elected
to join Footloy, where he was
named vice president of sales,
and served worldwide
accounts. Footloy was sold to
the Acushnei Company in
1985. and O'Grady moved to
Etonic. where he remained until
1997. During his term with
Etonic, O'Grady became gen-
eral manager and began the for-
mer Etonic Section Education
Program, where sponsorship
funds were channeled to
improve Section education pro-
grams.
Etonic was sold to Spalding
Sports Worldwide in 1997, and
O'Grady remained with the
new owner until 1999, when he
founded Golf Product Services
of Boston and Newton, a golf
accessory import firm.
O'Grady continues his industry
affiliations today as a private
industry consultant.
"I am very pleased and hum-
bled by this award." said
O'Grady. "I think back on the
years I spent with Ernie
Sabayrac, who was a tough
taskmaster. I learned so much
and was impressed with how
dedicated he was to the golf
professional learning process.
He taught a PGA Professional
how to improve his income
through merchandising. And,
Ernie taught me how to con-
nect with PGA Professionals.
The experiences that I had
calling on PGA Professionals

of fun. 1 was so happy to have
had the opportunity to also con-
tribute to Section education
programs. It is tremendous to
see how the education program
of PGA Professionals has pro-
gressed."

Cohasset Youth Lacrosse Looking for Coaches
Cohasset Youth Lacrosse is
looking for volunteer assistant
coaches at all levels for its spring
season, with a particular empha-
sis on finding coaches for its girls
teams.
Cohasset currently expects to
field as many as 12 teams this
spring, but the number of partic-
ipants could push that even high-
er if there is adequate coaching
available to protect and develop
the youngsters involved.
In all, Cohasset will field boys
teams for players in grades 3
through 8 and girls in grades 5
through 8, plus a 90-minute
weekly clinic for girls in grades 3
and 4.
The shortage of coaches is par-
ticularly acute for girls, where
the current coaching staffs are so
limited that roster sizes must be
kept small, and where the future
of the program could be jeopar-
dized without the emergence of
volunteers. A girls coaching clin-
ic is being run Jan. 30 in
Plymouth by the Mass Bay
Youth Lacrosse League;
Cohasset Youth Lacrosse covers
the cost of sending volunteer
coaches - for girls or boys - to
clinics.
Cohasset Youth Lacrosse cur-
rently has head coaches at all age
levels, but with the probability of
roughly 300 children spread
throughout the program this
year, increasing the size of
coaching staffs is essential for
player development.
Through its 10-year history, the
foundation of the Cohasset
Youth Lacrosse coaching staff
has been volunteers who do not
have children on the teams
involved. In seeking additional
coaches, the program is hoping
lo get both community volun-
teers and parents whose children
will play. Experience playing or
coaching the game is desired, but
not necessary; coaches must be
able to throw and catch with a
lacrosse stick in order to teach
others and facilitate drills.
At all but the youngest age lev-
els, Cohasset Youth Lacrosse
holds two practices each week,
and has games on Sunday after-
noon. The youngest boys have
one weekly practice, while the
girls clinic program will be one
weekly 90-minute session.
Assistant coaches are not expect-
ed lo attend every event,
although they should be able to
appear often enough to be per-
ceived by the players as a team
leader.
In addition to coaches.
Cohasset Youth Lacrosse is inter-
ested in developing referees who
can work its games. Interested
individuals will be required to
take some officiating instruction
classes during the winter, and
may then be eligible to work
games either with a partner or
solo in the spring.
For more information or to
express your interest in coaching
or officiating, call Chuck Jaffe.

Having opened registration in
early November, organizers
expect to have full rosters once

"It currently appears thai we
will hil or surpass our ideal rosier
sizes during the registration peri-
od." said Chuck Jaffe. director of
Cohassei Youth Lacrosse, "We
are committed to accepting all
players who sign up by January
X. but there comes a point where-
having Kx> many players dimin-
ishes the experience for every-
one. We do not have cuts, and we
play equal playing time, so the
only way to be fair in managing
our rosier limits is to turn away
latecomers.
"We would prefer for everyone
interested to sign up on time, giv-
" ing us the maximum time to deal
w ith some of the issues that occur
when we go beyond our ideal
roster sizes."
Registrations will be taken for
both boys and girls in the 15 &
Under (7th and Kth graders) and
13 & Under (5th and 6th grades)
age groups. At the 1 1 & Under
level (grades 34). Cohassei will
field learns for boys and sponsor
a weeklv skills-development
clinic for girls.
Jaffe noted that registration for
the girls teams - but noi the clin-
; ic - will definitely close on Jan. 8.
.Hid thai it's entirely possible the
'. boys program will max out on
! capacity as well
: "If your child is unsure about
; wanting to play, sign them up
; now." Jaffe said. "They can back
'; out up to the beginning of March
'.■ without any charge, and they will
:- open up a space on the waiting
|! list we are almost certain to
■.' have."
:.' The registration fee is SI 45.
; with discounts for families sign-
; ing up more than one child. The
; girls' clinic costs $100 per player.
l.ale registrations, if rosier spots
are available, will cost SI 75.

aged to bring their old jerseys

Cohasset has adopted in
Australia. Players who attached a
note to their jersey — including
their address and e-mail — will
be connected with an Australian

There's a big need for
workers in health rare pro-
fessions, llsu said, so gradu-
ates of Mass Bay's programs
have good Job prospects.
"There is a need, particu-
larly in health eare. to move
people more quickly into the
field." llsu said.
Like many of the health
programs at Mass Bay, llsu
said most students in the
practical nursing program
want to change professions
or move up the ladder. About
half the students in the prac-
tical nursing class have- prior
experience in the medical
field.
After completing the
course, students will be li-
censed practical nurses
II I'M. but most want to go on
and become registered nurs-
es (HN) or even nurse practi-
tioners.
Franklin resident Jennifer
VozzeDa works at a doctor's
office, but wants to become a
nurse.
"I have always been inter-
ested in medicine.'' Vozzella
said. "I have never gone on to
any higher education."
Bi'sides attending class and
doing labs, students in the
nursing program get practi-
cal experience interning at
nursing homes and Other
medical facilities. The work
has been eye-opening, said
Millis resident Debra
Mitchell.
"So far I have seen a lot of
things." Mitchell said. "1 have
taken care of wounds,
worked with respiratory pa-
tients and other kinds of pa-
tients."
Students work at places like
MetroVVest Medical Center in
Iramingham. Cambridge's
Youville Hospital <4 Kchabilita
lion Center and Spaulding

Boston.
Cynthia Bechtel. instructor
for the practical nursing pro-
gram, said the people she
works with are not the typical
college student. The average
age is 32. and she only re-
members two students who
came straight from high
school into the program.
"We don't have students
just out of high school who
have mom at home cooking
for them," Bechtel said.

Flexibility key to success
ByJamtsS.Liljfsttand,
M.D..M.P.H.
NEWS LORRRSPl INDENfT
Health care promises
vast and varied nm-
ployniont opportuni-
ties well into the fu-
ture. When the Massachusetts
Medical Society's Committee on
Medical Education conducts sur-
veys, it sees an increasing need
for primary can1 physicians, a
huge statewide shortage of nurs-
es and a serious need for people
to serve as laboratory technolo-
gists, cytotechnologLsts (people
who study cells) and radiologic
technicians.
Before exploring the details of
a s|)ecific field, it may help to look
at the strengths that mature stu-
dents bring to adult education.
Simply put. you've got to In- able
to assess yourself honestly, eval-
uate your work against appro-
priate criteria and then develop
ways to do better
In health care, no matter what
tile discipline, perpetual learning
and the abilities to change and
continuously adapt are vital to
success. Another feature of the
new health care workplace -
and working life - is the Mm
concept. Individuals mast apply
all their skilLs to working with
others in teams that are focused
on patients and on adapting to
each patient's varied needs.
Have you ever heard someone
say. 'It's not in my job descrip-
tion"? Today, people who fore btsl
an- able to look beyond a narrow
HOpe to lielp the team problem-
solve and Innovate. Adult learners
must become adept at taking
these learning philosophies and
applying diem to job advance-
ments and new can-en;.
We're talking about flexibility
in learning mid die id)ility to
diink Creatively. Increasingly, we
call on both to adapt to a pa-
tient's needs and to die complex
needs of the health-care team.
ITius, people who have learned
how to participate and collabo-
rate on teams and projects are
the most valued employees.
Whether working in the phar-
macy or as an office manager,
one's educational degree may be
the least important predictor of
success. Radier. die person with
sin ii ig organizational and collab-
orative abilities will shine tiiniugb
to become a star performer.
MassPRO. the Massachusetts
(Quality Improvement Organiza-
tion, a nonprofit organization Uiat
collects, interprets and sliares
data with caregivers to ensure
bettW hcaldi for all, finds its pro-
fessional staff working in many
venues: hospitals, nursing homes,
home health agencies and physi-
cian offices. In all these settings
we find an acute need for health-
care workers who undersUuid
how to be "change agents," who
know how to assess systems and
who can make the systems and
processes they work widi better
and simpler.
I lelping patients is a human ac-
tivity, but systems can make the
work more reliable and safer for
patients, and can help humans
manage multiple projects and
meet deadlines. Skilled profes-
sionals are needed to develop. In-
still and maintain these systems.
Lett not forget two important
skills dial must be acquired iuxl
continually boned The first is com-
puter literacy. Adult learners must
be adept at using the computer
and know how to navigate and uti-
lize the everoqpendfag array of
pnwabiliiieson die internet
The second is oral communi-
cation: one must be able to ver-
balize knowledge - that is. udk
about processes, systems and
ideas. Why? Because most
teaching is done orally and is ori-
ented to patients, co-workers
and healthcare teammates.
Due to die increased focus on
quality, patient safety and the
new financial incentives lied to
them, health care is quickly mov -
ing toward redesigning and re-
organizing liealdi-ciu"!' services.
Further, sophisticated Infor-
mation technology mid im-
proved integration of public
health services, such as monitor-
ing for outbreaks of illness like
die flu Icidli-d bkisurveillance).
patient n'gLstries I to track med-
ications and treaunentsl and
cither Initiatives, all require coop-
eration among cdl health care
entities. As a ri'sult, there is also
a diM-p need for people trained in
public policy, management, In-
formatics (the roanagemeol of
health data l and public health.
People trained in several areas
will In' es|X'iidl\ viduable lie-
cause diey will liecome "bridge
communicators" - connecting
one discipline to another. Clearly,
computers are die roadmap to
dils new world.
It's not enough to learn a spe-
dOC skill or discipline such as
nursing, technical work, medi-
cine or administration. Instead,
die goal must lie In become a
communicative, lifelong learner
who Is self motivated and who
has theabOit] to set and achieve
personal goals.
If you displa> energy and ap-
titude for working with patients
or with the teams responsible
for their care, ibis is all to the
good. Bravo, People who have
discovered work thej love often
find it easier to uncover thai
ounce of inspiration needed
along with foe pounds of per-
spiration il will lake to reshape
their work lives. Bui befisVe me,

WWII Navy veteran's
sacrifice remembered
FROM SACRIFICE. PAGE 1
Newport News Shipbuilding
and Dry Dock Co., in Newport
News, Va. as the steel-hulled
yacht "Viking." It was later sold
and renamed "Noparo" before
being purchased by the US
Navy in December 1940. The
ship was then retrofitted and
renamed St. Augustine on Jan. 9,
1941. and commissioned USS
St. Augustine (PG-54) on Jan.
16. 1941.
The town of
Cohasset will never
Torget tne sacrifice
Bobby made for his
country, and to
ensure his memory
lives on in the
hearts of the
town's residents, in
1947, the town
renamed and
dedicated the road
at the south end of
the common,
Robert E. Jason
The USS St. Augustine got
underway from New York on
Jan. 6. 1944 leading a convoy of
ships bound for Guantanamo
Bay. Cuba. Late that evening,
just southeast of Cape May. NJ.
she was struck hard amidships
by the merchant tanker Camas
Meadows splitting her seams in
the collision. In only five min-
utes, the boat sank into the
Atlantic, the rough wintry seas
claiming 115 of her crew,
including Bobby. Only 30 crew
members survived.
Although the accident which
claimed Bobby's life took place
Jan. 6. he was pronounced
deceased on Jan. 7, the day his
body was found. Once recov-
ered, the Navy sent his body
back home in a casket sealed
with a glass cover. Due to his
height, the oversized casket
could only be brought into the
family home for viewing after
workmen removed the front par-
lor window.
Bobby's mother Helen Jason
was so distraught with the lack
of details the Navy provided her
regarding her son's death, that
she called upon longtime
Cohasset resident and Navy
Captain Herbert Grassie to see if
he could press the Navy for
more details. Friends say Helen
was once a vibrant and commu-
nity-minded woman who nearly
went into seclusion at her home
for the rest of her life after her
son gave his for the country.
Nearly 4(K) Cohasset men and
women answered the country's
can during World War II. For
eight families like the Jason's,
the price of freedom was high.
Bobby was the third Cohasset
sen iceman to die during World
War II. and the first of three to
die during 1944. Prior to Bobby.
Merchant Sailor Allen Buffum
and Navy Lt. Perry H. Johnson
gave their lives in the name of
freedom.
The town of Cohasset will
never forget the sacrifice Bobby
made for his country, and to
ensure his memory lives on in
the hearts of the town's resi-
dents, in 1947. the town
renamed and dedicated the road
at the south end of the common.
Robert E. Jason Road.
Chairman of the Veterans
Memorial Committee Glenn
Pratt provided the Mariner w ith
the information for this article.
For more information on Robert
E. Jason or any of the Cohasset
veterans who have paid the ulti-
mate price in the name of free-
dom, please visit the Cohasset

Fallen
servicemen
honored
around town
Robert E. Jason is one of
many veterans who have been
honored by the town of
Cohasset. The town lost seven
other men during World War
II. who have all been memori-
alized with squares, parks,
and roads in town including:
• Allen A. Buffum: Square
at Beechwood St. & So. Main
Street
• Norman Todd: Road
intersects with Beechwood
St., and a memorial park is
located at their intersection.
• William B. Long: Road at
the Common
• Howard R. Gleason:
Road to Yacht Club from
Margin St.
• Perry H. Johnson: Square
at Beach St. & Atlantic Ave.
• David H. Parker: Square at
King St. & Beechwood St.
• Everett F. Studley: Square
at Jerusalem Rd. & Hull St.
West's Corner
The mothers of the eight
servicemen that gave their
lives are memorialized at the
Gold Star Mothers
Monument at Woodside
Cemetery.
Roughly 498 men and
women from Cohasset served
during World War II from
1941 until the war was
declared over in December
1946. Cohasset has memorial-
ized all of its service men and
women from the "Greatest
Generation" by listing all of
their names at Veterans Park
at Cohasset Harbor. A book of
Cohasset servicemen's names
was presented to the National
Monuments Commission at
the dedication of the WWII
Memorial, on May 29. 2004
in Washington. D.C.

Massachusetts is blessed with
first-rate institutions of higher
education. Their productivity
fuels the engine of innovation
and progress. The quality of edu-
cation, training and professional
development provided by these
institutions is largely responsible
for the new business starts, new
product development, new
patents, prototypes and ideas.
Research universities and
graduate schools have done a
tremendous job in producing
leaders in medicine, law, science,
engineering and arts. But the ed-
ucation and training on the other
end - workforce development -
cannot claim the same level of
success.
Many companies are started,
but then leave the common-
wealth to other states. One of the
reasons is the lark of an appro-
priate workforce. According to a
Masslnc report, today almost 1.3
million adults in the common-
wealth lack skills to be employed
well. In the midst of these world-
class institutions, more than one-
third of its residents have a high
school diploma or less.
America faces four major chal-
lenges: becoming competitive in
the global economy; reversing
the growth of a disfranchised un-
derclass; developing a broad-
based workforce possessing in-
formation age skills; and using
the diversity of our society as an
asset Meeting these challenges
successfully depends upon on the
effectiveness of our education
system and workforce develop-
ment Integration of higher edu-
cation and worker development
Is the key to this success.
Many working adults, a large
number of young people and a
COMMENTARY
significant number of new immi-
grants, are outside the higher ed-
ucation spectrum and its bene-
fits. These are among the popu-
lations that are full of untapped
potential and untapped knowl-
edge.
Despite school reform nation-
wide at the K- 12 level and efforts
to narrow the achievement gaps
between black and white, poor
and rich, urban and suburban, it
is virtually certain that a signifi-
cant number of people will reach
adulthood under-prepared for
the rigors and demands of con-
temporary life.
We have new pressures to
combine new knowledge and un-
derstanding of the functioning of
new and emerging services for
an increasing numbers of indi-
viduals. By different accounts, al-
most two-thirds of all jobs now
require at least some level of
postsecondary education and
that number will increase daily.
The demands of most jobs re-
quire the convergence of skills
from liberal arts and specific
technical skills. Yet our assump-
tions about higher education and
workforce needs of today are still
guided by the ideas of the early
20th century.
The notion of access to college
needs to be redefined; it should
be for access to and mastery of
knowledge and training In ser-
vices.
The traditional content of the
liberal arts degree, a phenome-
non at least 300 years old, has
served a few of our young well.
The traditional training for ser-
vice jobs, without heavy empha-
sis on critical thinking, problem
solving, numeracy and a sense of
social responsibility has placed

another, how easy or difficult it is
for someone to move into

what residents can do to create a
welcoming environment.

people in narrow and dead-end
jobs.
The content and skills needed
by a large segment of today's soci-
ety are quite different The knowl-
edge about applied technologirs,
literacy and numeracy at a high
level, problem-solving strategies,
critical and independent thinking
for making decisions, the ability to
work with people of diverse back-
grounds, competence in commu-
nications - written, oral and geo-
graphical - and a sense of civic re-
sponsibility is rtxruired of all work-
ers in all professions.
Higher education in the form ol
liberal education must become
the common experience for
nearly all. We need to contem-
plate redesigning the package
and content of the baccalaureate
degree. It should prepare people
not only to cope with complexity
but also to be able to cope with
change.
We need to conceptualize un-
dergraduate education and
workforce development not as
separate entities, but as an inte-
grated whole. Collaborations be-
tween institutions of higher edu-
cation and organizations that ed-
ucate and train people for voca-
tional services is the answer.
College roles and structures
must change for education to
spin outward to include individu-
als, corporations, workplaces
and community-based organiza-
tions in the delivery of higher ed-
ucation.

On the South Shore
he reti
the Rat Pack
the early 1960s, when Las
l was ihe personal playground
of Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin,
Sammy Davis, Jr., and Joey
Bishop. Dick Feeney was jus! a
child on the real -life playgrounds of
Rockland. Past forward 40 years
and Bishop is the only surviving
member of the fabled Rat Pack
while a now grown-up Feeney is a
►producer of the long-
Las Vegas production of
"A Tribute to Frank. Sammy. Joey
Dean" which has its New
I premier next week at the
i Theatre.
"Our show has been playing at the Greek Isles Hotel & Casino
since 2002 and our sales numbers are still going through die roof,"
explained Feeney by telephone from Las Vegas last week. "In the
years since Sammy, Dean and Frank have died, there has been a
huge resurgence of interest in them. Every night, people who see our
show make a point of telling us that what we're presenting is what
6 real Las Vegas was all about."
i Tribute to Frank. Sammy, Joey and Dean" opens with the
I voice of the late comedian Buddy Hacked as God asking
: foursome to return to the stage one last time to recreate one of
the legendary performances they gave in the Copa Room at the
Sands Hotel four decades ago, complete with a 12-piece orchestra.
Hacketfs own son, Sandy Hackett, opens the show as comic
Bishop, followed by music and comedy by the cast which includes
Gary Anthony as Sinatra ("All of Me," "Angel Eyes." "Fly Me to
the Moon"), Doug Starks performing "What Kind of Fool Am 1,"
"That Old Black Magic," "Me and My Shadow." and "Mr.
Bojangles," and Andy DiMino crooning Martin's chart-topping hits
like "AintThat a Kick in the Head," and That's Amore."
Feeney is currently presenting four shows in Vegas - "Sandy
Hacketfs Comedy Club." The World's Greatest Magic Show,"
and the Rat Pack tribute at the Greek Isles as well as the Strip's
longest-running afternoon show. "Viva Las Vegas" at the
Sbatosphere. Feeney is also owner of 'The Flying FJvi" skydiv-
ing team first seen in the 1992 feature film "Honeymoon in
Vegas." A 1970 graduate of Rockland High School. Feeney first
arrived in Las Vegas 20 years ago to co-produce "An Evening at
* and "Crazy Girls" at the Riviera Hotel and Casino. His
! career has taken him everywhere from Japan to Monte
t Feeney got his show business start locally as a trumpet
l school, I went to Boston University for a year and then
th Shore band called Utopia' We played places like
t in Hull. From 1971 to 1976, 1 was with The Lewis
t Expedition.' After touring for a while, I realized what I real-
ly wanted to do was stay closer to home so I formed a gnxip called
Gemini' to play weddings and local club dates The group's popu-
larity look off, however, and ended up playing everywhere from
Barbados to Caesar's Palace in Atlantic City. It was while on tour in
Hawaii in 1976 that I saw my first open-ended showroom produc-
tion.. Right then, I decided that was what I wanted to do."
Feeney enjoys it, too, especially collaborating with co-producer
Hackee. 'We're the only ones who have secured the rights to all the
material we do in our show. This is thanks to Sandy, who grew up
next to Joey Bishop's house in Beverly Hills and always thought of
him as Uncle Joey'. Thanks to his father, Sandy has been around
these guys since he was just a child. Buddy passed away on June 30,
2003, but before then he did all kinds of things to help us. The show
takes place in the period, but after many requests we have (bund
a way to include later Sinatra classics like 'New York. New York'
and My Way.' "

GETTING SOME FEEDBACK
The phenomenon known as
"feedback" occurs when the
amplified sound from a hearing
instrument re-enters the instru-
ment and is rc-amplified.
Typically, what results is a high-
pitched whistling tone, the loud-
ness and pilch of which varies.
Hearing instruments will often
whistle when being inserted into
the car or being turned off.
Feedback may also occur when
slipping clothing over your head
or while you arc cupping your
hand to your car. Hearing-instru-
ment users may also experience
feedback when hugging another
person or laying their heads on
their pillows. On the other hand,
if feedback occurs with a hear-
ing instrument placed correctly
in the ear. as the result of head
movement or chewing, a hearing
specialist should address the
problem.
A hearing instrument that doesn't
fit properly or deliver the quali-
ty of sound the wearer has a
right to expect is probably going
to end up unworn at the back of
the night table drawer For com-
prehensive testing and evalua-
tions, expert hearing aid fittings,
as well as follow-up adjustments
using innovative, state-of-the-art
technology, please call us at

of the wind in your hearing
instrument when you are out-
doors on a blustery day.

The Tao of Taos
Cultures mix in
New Mexico art
and ski enclave
Melanie Young
About an hour's drive
north of Santa Fe. this
adobe-walled town in
the shadow of Taos Mountain
has long been a magnet for
artists, writers and rebels with
vision and imagination.
Whether it's the quality of the
light or the spectacular high-
desert-and-alpine scenery. Taos has
worked its quirky magic on trail-
blazers from legendary Indian
scout Kit Carson to British novelist
D. H. Lawrence. Famed for his
keen eyesight and frontier exper-
tise, Carson settled down here in
the 1820s (his house is now a
museum). About a century later.
Lawrence arrived and eventually
purchased a ranch near town.
But they were not the only ones
seduced by this village's offbeat
charms.
When a broken wagon wheel
forced a couple of accomplished
New York artists to cool their heels
in Taos in 1898. Bert Geer Phillips
and Ernest L. Blumenschein fell in
love with its intriguing
Southwestern blend of American
Indian, Spanish colonial. Mexican
and American frontier cultures.
Deciding to stick around, the
painters founded the Taos Society
of Artists in 1912 — the same year
New Mexico became a state. By
the 1 920s. when writers and artists
such as Lawrence. Gertrude Stein
and Georgia O'Keeffe began
showing up. Taos was well on its
way to being a renowned art
colony.
The town has been dancing to a
different drummer ever since. It
was no coincidence that Dennis
Hopper filmed "Easy Rider." one
of the quintessential anti-establish-
ment movies of the 1960s, in Taos.
Nor is it coincidence that pio-
neering solar architect Michael
Reynolds made Taos his home and
headquarters of his company. Solar
Survival.
If you'd like to see what it's like
being "off the grid." check out the
solar-powered Dobson House,
which might be the nation's only
Earthship bed-and-breaklast.
From a distance, Dobson House
(rates from $110; 505-776-5738;
www.taosnet.com/ dobsonhou.se),
about 10 miles outside of Taos near
the dramatic Rio Grande Gorge,
resembles something extraterres-
trial. Constructed 12 years ago by
John and Joan Dobson from 2.000
old tires. 20.000 recycled alu-
minum cans and 28.000 pounds of
dry concrete mixed by hand, the
property has curving outer walls
inset with the ends of glass bottles
that glitter in the bright winter sun.
Crowning the layered residence,
a dome-like room of glass win-
dows provides a 360-degree view
of the desert and distant mountains.
Guests staying in the two large
suites easily can hike to nearby hot
springs in the Rio Grande Gorge.
Another Taos resident fascinated
by alternative architecture, million-
aire and ecologisl Tom Worrell
decided to combine recycling and
"green" design principles with
deluxe comfort and high style
when he opened El Monte Sagrado
Living Resort & Spa in downtown
Taos.
A luxurious boutique property
with adobe casitas and lavish
theme suites decorated with the
collaboration of local artists, El
Monte Sagrado is about as green as
a resort gets these days. Besides a
rainwater-collection system, the
resort has solar collectors; heating
and cooling systems that minimize
the use of conventional energy;
and an organic system that cleans
and recycles alt waste water to irri-
gate the landscaping. Treated water
flows into the jungle-like indoor
"Biolarium." featuring a waterfall,
fishpond and tropical plants near
an elegant indoor swimming pool
(rates from $345; 800-828-TAOS;
www.elmontesagrado.com).
Alternative accommodations and
the art scene are just the icing on
the cake. Most visitors are drawn
here by either skiing or the pic-
Art Is a constant presence In Taos, even at bed-and-txeakfasts such i
the American Artists Gallery House B&B, top. Visitors to this New
Mexico town can peruse local arts and crafts, left, and enjoy unique
accommodations, such as the Egypt Suite at the ■ Monte Sagrado
living Resort & Spa, right.
turesque Taos Pueblo, or both. The
Pueblo, a complex of multistoried
adobe dwellings, has been inhabit-
ed for more than a thousand years,
and looks today much as it did
when the first Spanish explorers
arrived in 1540. It's open for visi-
tors (ceremonial dances are a par-
ticularly big draw).
The ladders on the Pueblo's sun-
baked earthen walls bring to mind
the American Indian meaning of
Taos, "gateway to heaven." But if
heaven means getting closer to
Taos' peacock-blue sky. another
slice of it is Taos Ski Valley, locat-
ed just 19 miles from the town of
Taos.
A true skier's mountain, and still
owned by the same family that
founded the resort in 1955. Taos
Ski Valley shares in the "Tao" of
Taos in that it always has gone its
own way. regardless of main-
stream pressures. Bucking today's
trends. Taos Ski Valley is one of
only four ski resorts in the nation
that do not permit snowboarding.
Skiing here is a lot like being part
of a family. Packages combine
lodging, lift tickets and intensive
ski instruction in small groups at
the same ability level, so that by
the end of the w eek each guest not
only skis much better but also has
a new croup of friends (during the
week of Jan. 9- 1 4. the six morning
lessons are free w ith purchase of a
six-day lift ticket).
Accommodations in European-
si) le small lodges at the base of the
slopes add to the camaraderie and
family ambience.
Even some of the original staff
hired by founder Ernie Blake still
work and ski here, such as Jean
Mayer, technical director of the
Ernie Blake Ski School. Elisabeth
Brownell. an owner of the
Thiinderbird Lodge, came from
Munich and was hired as Blake's
secretary. In her 70s now, she skis
several times a week and still
speaks with a pretty Gentian
accent. With a mischievous smile
she explains, "Ernie told me.
'Don't lose your accent, it's very
effective in a ski resort!' "

Ski Valley and the town of Taos,
call 8(X)-347-74l4 or go to:
www.skitaos.org, www.taosskival-
ley.com and
www.exploretaos.com.
Visitors find plenty to do in
the pueblo
Here are some not-to-miss attrac-
tions in and around Taos.
1. Taos Pla/a: The heart of the
original town. Taos Plaza was
established in 1796. when the area
was a colonial outpost of New
Spain. When the first families set-
tled here, the pla/a was more like a
fortress, with strong gates and no
windows in the outer adobe walls
ol the houses. Besides exploring
today's shops and galleries, you
can drop into Hotel La Fonda to
see nine paintings by D.H.
Lawrence that so scandalized his
countrymen when they were
shown in London in 1929 that
Scotland Yard seized them.
2. Governor Bent House
Museum: A block north of Taos
Pla/a on Bent Slnvl. tlx' (inventor
Bent House Museum was the resi-
dence of the first American gover-
nor of New Mexico. Charles Bent.
A wealthy trader. Bent was killed
in the Taos Native American and
Hispanic uprising of 1847. Visitors
will see period art and artifacts as
well as the hole in the wall through
which Bent tried to escape.
3. San Francisco de Asis Church:
The 1 772 church's massive, hand-
smoothed adobe walls and
tresses have made the building
favorite subject for artists and ph
(ographers. including Georgi
O'Keeffe and Ansel Adams. Gel
inside to see a video presentation!
and the mysterious 1896 painting
of Jesus, which in darkness shows'
a luminescent cross that is not vis-
ible in ordinary light.
4. Van Vechten Linebeny Taos
Art Museum: Taos" newest muse-
um displays works of the Taos
Society of Artists, whose members
captured the town's picturesque
life in the late 19th and early 20th
centuries. The state-of-the-art facil-
ity is the creation of Ed Lineberry,
an artist who lives next door.
5. Harwood Museum of Art:
Housed in a 19th-century adobe
compound, the Harwood
Foundation Museum displays
works by New Mexico artists in a
variety of media, as well as a col-
lection of Hispanic an. Seven gal-
leries feature paintings by the Taos
Society of Artists.
6. Hacienda de los Martinez:
This adobe structure is one of the
few remaini"e Spanish colonial
haciendas open to the public.
Period furnishings and demonstra-
tions show how the family of mer-
chant and Taos Mayor Don
Antonio Severino Martinez lived
herefrom 1 804 to 1827.
7. Kit Carson Home & Museum:
Built in 1825 with traditional
adobe walls, the home's 12 rooms
are furnished as they might have
been when Carson lived here with
his w ife. Josefina Jaramillo.
8. Millicenl Rogers Museum: A
Standard Oil heiress and socialite
lamed for her beauty and styled
Millicent Rogers came to Taos and
in 1947 began acquiring a magnif-
icent collection of American,
Indian arts and crafts, on display!
here. Featured are Navajo and
Pueblo jewelry. Navajo textiles,'
Pueblo pottery, Hopi and 7-unl
kachina dolls and basketry by.
Southwestern tribes.

But ballot vote for
'06 is possibility
By Samantha Brown
SAMBROWNOCNC.COM
Passing a Prop. 2-1/2 override
is not an option to make up any
shortfalls in the fiscal year 2(X)5
School Department budget but
one may be necessary to main-
tain services next year.
Town Manager Michael
Buckley said the tax rate has
been set and any budgetary short-
falls need to be made up either
through cuts in the school depart-
ment budget or through a supple-
mental budget, which would
need to be voted on at Town
Meeting.
A supplemental budget would
allow Town Meeting to appropri-
ate money from the town's
reserves, such as free cash, the
stabilization fund, or any other

Selectman Ronnie McMorris
said in light of all the information
being sent to Cohasset residents
about the Water Department's

be very confusing to understand

she can give the public is that.
"Yes, it is safe to drink and use
the water."

In light of a Town Meeting vote
which has approved the funding
for improvements to be made to

Board of Health sent a memo to
the Board of Selectmen on Jan. 6
warning of the site's potential to
serve as a wastewater disposal
area. In the letter, the Board of
Health states the Wastewater
Committee has indicated the
field is a "potential disposal site
for a satellite wastewater treat-
ment facility for those houses in
Zone A of the town's water sup-
ply." The Board recommends
some soil evaluations be con-
ducted before renovations are
made to the field, to determine if
it is a potential site for a waste-
water disposal area.

ZBA hears Avalon's request for town sewer connection
By Mary Ford
MTORO0CNC.COM
Sewer capacity — or the lack
thereof — is in the news again.
This time AvalonBay, the compa-
ny slated to build 200 apartments
off Rte. 3A. is asking to hook up
to the town's sewer treatment
plant.
Avalon engineers say the town
has sufficient capacity to accom-
modate estimated wastewater
generated by the project. Sewer
Commissioners say if any capac-
ity exists, it must be reserved for
existing homes.
But after sifting through the evi-
dence on both sides — the
Zoning Board of Appeals and not
the Sewer Commission - could
determine whether Avalon can
connect to the town sewer system
because Avalon is a 40B project
Avalon is back before the ZBA
seeking a "substantial change" to
its comprehensive permit
approved roughly 14 months ago.
triggering last week's public hear-
ing lasting three hours. The hear-
ing was continued until 4 p.m.
Jan. 31.
Under 40B. the stale's afford-
able housing law, a developer can
apply directly to the ZBA for a
comprehensive permit and does-
n't have to obtain permits from
oilier boards. Therefore, the ZBA
has sole jurisdiction to grant
approval for a sewer connection
in lieu of action by the Sewo
Commission. Avalon officials
said.
They argued the fact Avalon is
outside the Central Sewer District
is irrelevant because local regula-
tions are superceded by Chapter
40B. Cohasset is vulnerable to
40B projects - which are usually
of higher density than local
bylaws allow and reserve 25 per-
cent of their units for affordable
housing - because the town has
so little affordable housing by
stale standards.
At the crux of the issue is the
court order from the state, dubbed
the Second Amended Judgment,
that requires Cohasset to sol\e its
long-standing wastewater wi>es.
Avalon had been operating with
the understanding thai under the
Judgment, the Little Harbor area
had to be sewered first Avalon
said it acted in good faith bv pur-
suing other wastewater options
but has subsequently learned
through statements made by
Town Counsel Paul K. DeRensis
of Deutsch Williams at a public
forum in November, there is no
requirement to sewer Little
Harbor under the Judgment.
Avalon officials say they have
come to the sewer table "by
default'' after running into road-
blocks while pursuing other
wastewater disposal alternatives.
Roughly two yean, ago. Avalon
abandoned pursuing a surface
water discharge permit from the
slate Department of
Environmental Prolection (DEP)
over objections from the Water
Commission about potential con-
tamination of Lily Pond, the
town's drinking waler supply.
Avalon - although it disagreed
with the Water Commission
about which watershed the How
would head toward — and rather
than engage in lengthy litigation,
switched over to seeking a
ground-water discharge permit,
whose requirements are less envi-
ronmentally stringent than a sur-
face-waler permit. In November
2003, the ZBA approved the 21 XI-
unil development with an on-site
system subject to DEP approval
of a gmund-water discharge per-
mit
Bui the Water Commission
appealed the ZBA approval of the
comprehensive permit because of
the proposed on-site system and
thai appeal is still pending in land
court, according to Scolt Dale,
vice president of development at
Avalon.
"We filed a motion for summa-
ry judgement but there has been
no decision yet,"' Dale said. "It is
certainly clear to us that the Water
Commission opposes the waste-
water solution we came up with."
Dale said Avalon needed to pur-
sue other options.
To thai end Avalon was granted
an amendment lo its comprehen-
sive permit by the ZBA a v ear ago
that — in lieu of a ground-water
permit — Avalon could under-
take a connection either lo Hull or
to the Cohasset municipal sewer
system subject lo a detenninalion
there is adequate capacity.
"Our position is Avalon has
approval to connect - the only
issue is il there is adequate capac-
ity." Dale said.
He said Avalon's letters to the
Sewer Commission presenting
evidence there is sufficient capac-
ity went unanswered. Avalon was
unsuccessful in its attempt to
intervene in a lawsuit launched hy
Cedannere. an age-restricted. 55-
plus project, that is also seeking
sewer capacity. As a result.
Avtdon has asked the ZBA to
make a determination about
capacity and believes the town
has no legal right to reserve
capacity for other areas.
Av alon engineers say the treat-
ment plant has plenty of room to
accommodate flows from Avalon
estimated at 22.0IXJ gallons per
day. Avalon would also pay to
install a 4.2(H) foot force main to

"That would not stand any legal scrutiny

— Stephen Schwartz, Avalon attorney
connect to the sewer line.
Steven Schwart/. attorney for
Avalon. said the Sewer
Commission has granted
hookups to numerous homes
even though Little Harbor is no
closer lo being sewered eight
years after the Judgment was
issued
"That would not stand any legal
scrutiny thai nothing is sewered
until you sewer Little Harbor." he
said.
But special Town Counsel
Kimbcrly M. Saillant of Deutsch
Williams, representing the Sewet
Commission, said capacity is not
being reserved but is being given
to existing homes in the Central
District. She said the town is
under a court order because il is
in violation of the Clean Waters
Act and has to adhere lo the
Judgment as a matter of law.
Sclivv.ul/ said the Judgment
docs not preclude the ZBA from
permitting a sewer connection
for Avalon. and thai under 408,
the town cannot deny a connec-
tion if it is technically feasible
He said tlw town was using the
Sewer issue as a way to oppose
development in general and
multi-unit family and affordable
housing in particular.
Sewer Commission Chairman
Ray Kasperow icz said the I )EP is
"all over us" to accelerate the
sewering ot the Little Harbor-
Atlantic Avenue area; and the
town has a meeting Jan 2 1 in
Boston with Ihe DEP to discuss
Us compliance or lack thereot
with Ihe Judgment. He said
delays in sewering Little Harbor
were due to problems in funding
and the town was not dragging its
feet
Peter Pratt of the Planning
Board said Town Counsel
DeRcnSU has said il Avalon is
allowed lo connect, then
Cedannere and ihe Cook Estate
can also hookup. (The Cook
Estate is a town- sponsored age-
restricted project proposed off
Sohier Street). He warned in
addition to eating up sewer
Capacity, three large mulli-unil
developments would increase
traffic and put stress on the
schools, police and lire depart
ments. 'Town Meeting never
voted to have 400 units all at
once." he said.
David Calhoun, one of the
Cedarmere developers, was in
the audience. Calhoun said
Cedarmere has spent consider-
able money determining that
there is capacity. He said the
Judgment clearly mandates the
town study and come up with a
wastewater solution, which it
has.
He said Cedaremere filed an
application, which the Sewer
< ommission denied. Cedarmere
is appealing that denial and
thinks il should have first dibs
on a connection. Avalon did not
actually file for a connection.
But Dale of Av alon said that
doesn't matter. He said before
Cedannere got off the ground.
Avalon went to the Sewer
Commission and was told
repeatedly there was no capaci-
ty. Avalon acted in good faith on
thai information and pursued

Local duo to look after town
interests as Greenbush is built
Buckley appoints
two train liaisons
By Samantha Brown
SAMBROWN9CNC.COM
Town Manager Michael
Buckley, with the approval of
the Board of Selectmen, has
appointed residents Tom
G ruber and Mark Brennan to
serve as liaisons between the
town and Ihe MBTA during
( Ireenbush construction.
Gruber's formal title will he
Special Assistant to the Town
Manager for Greenbush
Affairs, and Brennan will serve
as Special Assistant to Ihe
Town Manager for Greenbush
Engineering. Both will sign
contracts vv hich Buckley said
could he for a iwo-year com-
mitment, and both will he paid
a to-be-determined hourly rate.
A liaison search committee,
comprised of Selectmen Ralph
Dormitzer and Fred Koed. Tax
Collector/Treasurer Joe DiVim
-- who has been serving as
Acting Special Assistant Io the
Town Manager for MBTA
affairs — and resident Jody
Buinian. conducted interviews
for the open posilion a few
weeks ago. and concluded both
men w ith their combined skills
would be Ihe best solution for
the town.
G ruber, who has been
involved with MBTA mitiga-
tion for years and is well-
versed in the history of ihe pro-
ject, was the "candidate of
choice" from the abutters'
standpoint, said Dormitzer. He
is very well known around
10W n. and has the experience
necessary to carry the town
through ihe project.
However, he said with
Biennan's extensive engineer-
ing experience, il was obvious
he could serve as the clerk -ol-
Ihe works the lown needs
"I'm really looking
forward to this.
There's a lot that
needs to be done
for the town and we
need to get going."
— Tom Gruher
available on-site during con-
struction. "Il looked like a
team of people would be the
besi solution." said Dormitzer,
and fortunately for the town.
Ihe IWO men were willing and
able to make dial happen.
"This is an exact parallel to
my previous life." said
Brennan, who is a retired
Verizon employee, w ho most
recently served as the Chief of
Staff lor Northeast operations.
Brennan also spent much
lime in the United Kingdom
overseeing a large trenching
project, which required much
coordination with (he local
people, as all public utilities
would be affected during the
digging.
Brennan said he is eager to
get to work in Cohassel "I
love Cohassel. I've been here
10 years, and I hope to spend
the rest of my days here." he
said.
Gruber said he too cannot
wait to gel started in his new
role.
"I'm really looking forward
to this. There's a lot that needs
to be done for the town and we
need lo gel going." he said. He
suggested both he and Brennan
sil down With DiVito la see
what progress he has made and
then take an inventory of the
plans and information the tow n
has. At that point. G ruber said
it would make sense to have a
meeting with the MBTA and
then build on the information
gathered.
The Greenbush Line is the
third leg of the Old Colony
Railroad Restoration Project,
and is being built as mitigation
for the Central Artery/Tunnel
Project in downtown Boston.
The project is intended to
reduce automobile traffic on
the congested highways lead-
ing into the city. According to
the MBTA. Ihe project will cost
roughly $479 million including
planning, engineering, land and
permitting costs, along with the
cost of construction and new
trains.
Until Oct. 2. the town had a
contract with the Waterfield
Design Group, which is
designing ihe village revitaliza-
tion project, to supply a liaison
for the lown during Greenbush
construction. When the con- ,
tract was still in effect, some
residents questioned why the
lown had chosen to sign a <
SI 20,000 contract with Ihe
Winchester firm, rather than
one of the 1 4 residents who
applied for the position when it
was originally advertised.
When the Waterfield contract
expired, the general consensus
was it was in Ihe town's best
interest to hire someone local.
Selectman Fred Koed sug-
gested Gruber and Brennan be
given some office space in
which to work, preferably in
Town Hall, but potentially in
one of the schools. Buckley
said he had been thinking about
finding a headquarters for the
operation, and said the third
floor computer room at Town
Hall might be an appropriate
solution. The details of the
positions will he ironed out in
the coming weeks, including
where the office will he located
as well as hours of operation.

Cook Estate contract issue
By Samantha Brown
SAMBBOWNeCNC COM
The town has been able 10
secure an extension on the pur-
chase of the Cook property
from i he heirs ol I he estate. Bui
Selectman Ralph Dormitzer
said he is \cr> uncomfortable
ihe town is about sign the
new Purchase and Sale agree-
ment without an) sinned
agreement from the Northland
Residential development com-
pany.
"I think there is an issue with
them not signing," said
Dormitzer of the compart)
which (he town has been work-
ing with to build 95-unitS ol
senior housing on the Sohier
Street site. Although
Dormitzer said the town is
secure in its agreement with
the Cook heirs. "We need
something on the other side,"
to ensure the developers won't
back out of the deal "We have
no commitment, really." he
said.
Selectman Ronnie McMorri.s
said to sav there is no commit-
ment from Northland Is not
quite accurate." as the develi >p
ers have been working dili
genlls with the town to gel Iht
project built The soils on the
Cook site were thought to have
been able 10 support an on-site
wastewater system for the pro-
ject, but further testing deter-
mined an on-site system would
not be feasible. Developers
have been cooperatively work-
ing with the town to find a
wastewater solution for the
site.
However. Dorniil/er said the
company has decided not to
comply with some require-
ments the town had set. and
there is nothing holding the
company to any kind of agree-
ment as nothing has been
signed. "Verbal agreements
have no meaning at all." he
said.
Dormitzer said he does not
think ihe town should sign the
rev ised Purchase and Sale with
the Cook heirs until it has a
guarantee in writing from
Northland.
Tin not sure that sends the
right message to the trustees."
said Mc.MoVris. "We should
sign this now." .
However, during the Jan. 4
meeting of Ihe board.
Selectman Rob SpofTord said
he had just received a copy of
the contract and he hadn't reail
n. and therefore would not yet
be- signing.

the town has with a verbal
agreement.
In September. Karen
Quigley, 27 Clay Spring Rd .
came before the board asking
for information regarding any
signed documents between the
town and Northland. At that
lime. Selectmen Chairman
Michael Sullivan explained he
had recently learned there is no
agreement other than the bid
process documents, but that
there will be a signed closing
document.
Al that time. Jack Dawley of
Northland Residential also said
due to the language in the RIP.
the SI 00,000 deposit put down
by Northland is the only agree-
ment which is necessary tor the
$5 million project. He also said
ihe Land Disposition
Agreement, which is similar to
a Purchase and Sale
Agreement, was almost in its
final form, hut was still being
tweaked by lawyers. He said
he thought the final version
would be ready to sign w Ithin a
few weeks. On Jan. 4 Sullivan
said the town has the original
I.DA with addenda, but no
signed final documents.

Getting physical at the Council on Elder Affairs
Lots of exercise
classes offered
By Samantha Brown
5AMBROWN9CNC.COM
The beginning of a new year often
inspires people lo gel up off the
couch and begin a new exercise
regime, which is exactly the kind of
resolution Director of the Council
on Elder Affairs Kathy Bryanton
bopes seniors will make this year.
With a wide variety of activities
for varying ability levels, the CEA
has something for everyone.
Exercise classes are held almost
every day of the week, and
Bryanton said because the CEA is
located in a Community Center, it
has resources other Senior Centers
might not, such as a bowling alley
on the bottom floor. In addition, she
said the exercise classes are small
enough that those who may not feel
comfortable going lo a big gym can
exercise with a small group in a
welcoming environment, and still
have a great workout
Paula Luoma, an occupational
therapist with years of training and
experience, teaches an arthritis exer-
cise class at the CEA every Friday
morning. "It's a general exercise
program for patients with
Osteoarthritis," she said, noting stu-
dents in her classes have a wide
range of ability levels. With arthri-
tis, everyone has an area that is not
as strong as the others, and everyone
can work together to help encourage
success. She added, some of her
students have canes and some have
walkers, but all have the same goal
of wanting to improve flexibility
and movement.
In Luoma's class, stretching exer-
cises are paired with a little bit of
strength training in the arms, which
is very important for those seniors
who have trouble standing and need
strength in their arms to help pull
themselves up from a sitting posi-
tion.
Bryanton added it has been

proven that even in their 90s,
seniors can start lifting light weights
and gain muscle mass, which can be
extremely helpful for those who
have come through surgery.
"They're even doing it at nursing
homes," she said. She added, a
worry of many seniors is that they
will become a burden as they age.
but being active keeps them health-
ier and more independent.
In Luoma's class, "We stretch, do
repetitive exercises and resistance
training." she said, adding they start
with the neck, then move down to
the shoulders, trunk, arms, back,
legs, then end with standing balance
exercises. Usually, the number of
students in her classes is under ten.
which she considers to be her ideal
number, but said the number varies
from week to week.
Luoma said she recommends her
students practice at home during the
week, adding practice helps insure
they see continual progress. She
said one of her students who was
having a particularly difficult time
with the standing portion of the
class began doing the exercises at
home, and reported back she could
"really see such a big difference."
Luoma said. A common miscon-
ception is thai a person needs to
work (Hit tor hours at least four days
a week to see results, but Luoma
said that is simply not true.
As with any class. Luoma said
there are always some students who
are generally more active and start
out at a higher level than others.
However, in contrast with ihe very
active students, Luoma said many
patients have recently undergone
surgery and are looking to regain
the strength ihey had before the
operation, and her exercises help
cater to every ability level, and help
rebuild what has been lost, which
will hopefully pres ent injuries in the
future.
Luoma said her classes have
become a social event as well as a
way to stay healthy. Just like people
of ail ages, she said many seniors
who lake her classes "don't want to
exercise alone."
Cohasset instructor Holly Pereira.
who is a certified personal trainer
who works for Webb's gym in
Norwell as well On the Path in
Pembroke, said she can attest to the
fact that the classes become very
social, as she has seen the same
thing happen in her Body Proud
yoga classes, offered every
Wednesday. She said by scheduling
in a time each week to exercise and
socialize, it helps the seniors "get
into a pattern " Exercise becomes
part of their weekly routine, which
is very beneficial for health, but it
also "becomes a social outlet," for
those who might otherwise spend
that time at home on the couch.
Pereira teaches a very gentle form
of yoga called Hatha yoga. She said
this form of yoga, "links the body's
movement with the intake of air."
She said it works on stretching and
toning, as well as opening areas of
the body which are closed. "It's a
big stress reliever." she said.
Although some of class is done on
mats on the floor, she said those stu-
dents who do not wish to get on the
floor can modify the exercises.
Pereira said there is a common
misconception senior citizens do
not have stress to deal with.
They've retired, they have their
days free to do what they wish, but
Pereira said thai is not the case at all.
She said the average life has
become very fast-paced, and seniors
going about their daily activities are
subjected to that hectic lifestyle,
which is not always easy to get used
to. She said in addition, seniors
worry about what will happen to the
family home should anything hap-
pen to them, and medical concerns
become more of an issue. "They
have lots to be stressed about, and
they have all day to think about it."
she said and she makes sure every
moment of the time they spend w ith
her is as stress-free and enjoyable as
possible.
Pereira said until some seniors
take her class, they do not fully
understand how ".tressed they actu-
ally are. Once they begin focusing
on the breathing exercises, which
are the central focus of Hatha yoga
many begin to see how fast and
shallow their regular breaih actually
is. In addition. Pereira ends every
class with a l()-minute meditation,
and some of her students who had
reported having trouble sleeping are
able to take what they learn in her
class, and meditate their way to a
restful slumber.
"It's fabulous, everyone should do
it at least once." Pereira said of
yoga adding even if someone tries
yoga and doesn't like it if they can
take away some valuable breathing
exercises as a result of thai one les-
son, it can be a wonderful de-stress-
ing tool.
Both Pereira and Luomo said they
realize the importance of providing
classes which cater to the ability
levels of their students because if a
class is too challenging, or too easy,
their students will not come hack.

Kathleen McArdle keeps score during ban ling at the Senior Ceniei
"We grade il accordingly," said
Pereira.
In addition to ihe classes laught
by Pereira and Luomo. there are
many other activities which can
help keep seniors in good shape.
Bryanton said after Jan. I . trips to
swim in Weymouth will begin.
She said during ihe summer, the
Cohasset Swim Center pool is
open, and every day seniors can
swim for an hour. Because swim-
ming is such a wonderful exercise,
the CEA really wants lo make n
available all year round. There are
also chair yoga classes, during
which students complete yoga
exercises from a chair rather than
the floor, and the center is trying to
start Tai Chi classes. The howling
league also meets twice a week,
once in ihe morning and once in
the evening, and there are many
other activities which go on al the
center which are noi exercise relat-
ed, such as bridge groups, educa-
tional classes, and book groups.
For more information on any of
the activities al the Cohasset Elder
Affairs, please contact the office at

Buckley: Override
not an option for
FY05 shortfall
FROM BUDGET. PAGE 1
year June 30. In addition to the
$93,000 another FY04 bill sur-
faced in the amount of $65,000
for school unemployment costs.
Town Meeting agreed to pay
both unpaid bills, but it was not
without much discussion.
With a new fiscal year on the
horizon. Selectmen are looking
ahead to the FY06 budget and
discussed school current budget
issues at the board's Jan. 4 meet-
ing.
"I'm very concerned about the
financial impact for the town."
said Selectman Rob Spofford.
"I'm getting a lot of calls." from
concerned parents and commu-
nity members he said, and he
doesn't have the answers they
need.
Selectman Ralph Dormilzer
said the board has had roughly
four or five months to review
data from other town depart-
ments and get a sense of where
the town will be headed, but "We
have nothing from the schools."
He said because roughly 80 per-
cent of the school budget is
salaries, "We should be able to
gel a number that is highly accu-
rate."
Spofford added, with the
school department budget com-
prised mostly of personnel
salaries, the situation gets worse,
"every day they don't make a cut
to gel the budget in line."
Selectmen said they would like
an update on the school budget
as soon as possible, and hopeful-
ly prior to the scheduled town
board budget-summit, slated for
Jan. 25. "We need it." Spofford
said, adding if it looks like the
schools will need to make up
$400,000 or $500,000 — every-
one needs to start discussing
where the money is going to
come from. Spofford added he
would like to see the school
department come before the
Selectmen on a quarterly basis to
give a budget update, as they
head into planning for FY06.
"This isn't going to be easy."
Dormilzer said of planning for
FY06. (Fiscal year 2006 begins
July 1.2005).
Buckley said he has a draft
FY06 budget in the works, and
he is not proposing an override,
although one might be necessary
to maintain services. Buckley
said he will be working with
many town boards including the
Advisory Committee, which
plans on meeting every
Thursday until Town Meeting.
April 2. "This year, it's going to
be more of a collaborative
effort," he said about the budget
process. Buckley added new
Town Manager Bill Griffin will
attend as many Thursday meet-
ings as he is able, mini he comes
on board Jan. 3 1 .
The budget summit is currently
slated to be held Tuesday, Jan.
25, but Buckley said he would
like Griffin to be present if possi-
ble, and may reschedule the
meeting for the following
Tuesday. Feb. I, to allow Griffin
to attend For more informa-
tion, please call the Board of
Selectmen 's office at (781) 383-

Question on
charge of
school
budget
review
committee
At the Dec. 6 Special
Town Meeting, a vote was
taken to allow the Troika
(Selectmen Chairman.
Advisory Committee
Chairman. and Town
Moderator) to appoint a
committee to look into why
the School Committee is
over budget. Although a
committee has not yet been
appointed, there are some
questions regarding what its
charge should be.
According to Town Clerk
Marion Douglas' records,
the vote taken at Town
Meeting states, the amend-
ment, offered by Roy
Filisimmons, 1 16 Doane St..
was as follows: "Moved that
the Troika appoint a com-
mittee to investigate the
school's over budget and to
report back to the Annual
Town Meeting."
Wig Pierson. 123 Atlantic
Ave., who is interested in
being a part of the commit-
tee, said the wording of the
vote leads itself to interpreta-
tion, as some in town feel the
committee will be looking at
why the overall school bud-
get is over-budget and some
feel it will be investigating
only why the utilities budget
was over-budget.
Selectmen Chairman
Michael Sullivan said he has
spoken to Advisory
Committee Chairman
Donna McGee about meet-
ing to discuss the appoint-
ments to the committee, but
neither one has heard from
Town Moderator George
Marlette on the issue. He
said when the three meet,
they will draft a formal
charge for the committee,
which will encompass the
scope Town Meeting had in
mind. Town Counsel may be
asked to give his opinion on
what the charge of the com-
mittee should be, as intended
by Town Meeting. Sullivan
also said in the interest of
moving the appointment
along, he and McGee may
soon get together without
Marlette to begin looking
over rite names.
Anyone interested in being
a part of the committee to
investigate the School
Committee's budget should
contact the Selectmen 's
office at(78l) 383-4105.

work of two local photogra-
phers. Pete Flaherty of
Cohasset and Lynne Layman
of Scituate. both of whose
work is sold as postcards at
Nobles in Cohasset. Still once
Longo and de Castellane
closed the deal for the project,
the two spent a day touring the
Cohasset area, taking addition-
al photographs and familiariz-
ing the painter with the local
scenery and landmarks.
Gates added Longo's idea for
the mural was to not only
showcase the extraordinary
beauty of the Cohasset area,
but also to present it in a
unique way for performers and
their crews, many of whom are
not familiar with the area.
Said Longo. "I'm very satis-
fied with the progress and final
result of Hans" work here. In
the last few months I've really
gotten to know Hans and what
he's produced as an artist, and
I just love the detail in his
work."
de Castellane, 27. grew up on
Cape Cod. first in Brewster,
then in Orleans, where he cur-
rently lives. He began painting
and taking private lessons at
age six and years later studied
at New York's Pratt Institute,
earning a BFA in
Communication Design in
IW9. The artist then returned
to the Cape and has been self-
employed as a muralist since,
painting private commissions
for homes and businesses.
Some of his most large-scale
clients have included

of his pieces have covered a

New York to many beaches,
golf courses, sky views and
others.
"I paint scenes and subjects
to look photographic, but as an
artist, you eventually want to
put in your own flavor," de
Castellane said. "Every artist
wants to do their own thing.
and mural "oik has a versatili-
ty that you can't classify."
de Castellane's \enlures have-
also taken him into regional

been hired for school projects
to guide students through
painting their own mural. He
has helped the students with
concept, design, pros ides ihe
supplies and teaches them how
to paint on a large scale.

such project at Chatham High

Journey
toward a dream
"I have a dream...."
On Aug. 2s. 1963, during the march on Washington, D.C. lor Jobs
and Freedom, the Rev, Martin Luther king Jr. stood on the steps of
'the Lincoln Memorial and made his lain, his speech about his vision
for a nation Ih ing up to toe creed thai "all men are created equal.'"
How tar have we come on the journey thai began with ihe water-
shed Civil Rights Movemeni led bj King?
A landmark survey h\ Ihe ( iallup ( 'icim/alion has round hope
ihai we now live in a "nev» Vmerica." a country where overall 71
'percent of die respondents would not object t<> a child or grandchild
marrying someone ol 'another race and the majority prefers to live in
a racially mixed neighborhood \ comparison ol 'how attitudes have
changed is ihe 1958 Gallup poll reporting thai just 4 percent of the
respondents approved of marriage between blacks and w bites
The survey, commissioned bj Ihe \ARPand Leadership
Conference on Civil Rights, is described in Ihe AARP magazine as
"the largest .md most comprehensive race-relations survey or blacks.
Hispanics. and whites evet undertaken." The survey, published in the
magazine's May/June 2<«u issue, involved telephone interviews
.with 24)02 people in Novemba and December 2003,
The survey revealed thai "most Americans are open to sharing
their life. work, and even love * ith people of a different color."
according to Adam Goodheart, who wrote the AARP report In
response to the prediction that the majorit) oi Americans would be
nonwhite h> 2050, about 87 percent said it "simpt) wouldn't mat-
ter ."
To compare how attitudes have changed in the 50 yean since ihe
Supreme Court opened the door to school desegregation in Ihe
Brown \. Hoard of Education ca$e. consider thai just a "miniscule" X
percent of African Americans in the WRP/LCC'R survey reported
thai they had e\er been denied admittance to a school because of
race.
So. are we there vet'.'
, Ha\e we become the "Promised Land" foreseen by King.'
Il depends on who you ask.
Just 21 percent of ihe blacks and 38 percent of the Hispanics
believe that all or most of the goals of King and the Civ il Rights
Movement have been achieved, compared to 5<> percent of the
whites, according to the AARP/LCCR survey.
Prejudice siill directly impacts the lives ol too many Amerieans.
People are siill being denied equal housing. Some 24 percent of the
blacks and I** percent of the Hispanics surveyed have been denied a
rental or the opportunity to buy a home, compared to 2 percent of
the whiles.
Equal employment opportunity is noi that equal, A third of the
blacks surveyed said they had been passed over lor a job because
they were black, and a third reported they had been blocked from
promotion because of their race. Blacks are more than tw ice as likely
as whiles to say they worry constantly about whether their income
will be enough to cover the bills, according to the survey.
Nearly half of all blacks reported having experienced at least one
fonn ol discrimination in the past 30 days, in ihe arenas of stores,
restaurants, theaters, and public transportation.
'-' And justice apparently is not blind The DOUbUltg statistic is thai 22
percent ot the blacks and 24 percent of the Hispanics reported hav-
ing been "the victims of prejudice" in an interaction w ith the police
in the past 30 day s.
Clearly, there remain a lot of curves and potholes in the road
ahead.
King's teachings impelled the landmark civil rights legislation of
the Kennedy /Johnson era.
On April 3, l%X. King made his tinal speech. The following day.
the Baptist minister who was chosen as Time magazine's Man of the
Year in 1%.' and received the Nobel Peace Prize in l')64 was killed
while in Memphis supporting striking sanitation workers. A passage
in his speech, "I've Been to the Mounlainiop. " loieshadowed ihe
tragedy:
"I may not get there with you. hut I want you to know tonight that
we. as a people, will get to the pmmised land."
Thirty -seven years alter an assassin's bullet ended the lite of King,
his philosophy of nonv ioleni direct action remains a model for the
social change thai is still unfurling over the nation.
As we participate in the programs marking Martin Luther King Jr.
Day this Monday. Jan. 17. it is important to remind ourselves thai we
are not just v iew ing history
We are pan of history in the making.
The words and the philosophy of Martin Luther King Jr. will con-
tinue to inspire us as we continue on w ith our |oumey lo the
Promised Land.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Sickened by AfTA's
train delay tactics
To rm- Editor;
Il is jusl sickening lo read "AITA Appeals
Slall Work in Scituate and Cohasset" in the Jan.
6 issue.
The Greenbush Line restoration has been
studied to death for the past 2(1 years and the
experts have detennined that commuter rail
service will he a txx>n for commuters of the
South Shore coastal towns, as well as improv-
ing the environment The majority of residents
voted in favor of restoration in 1991 and since
that time the price has been rising because of
roadblocks by anti-train groups, such as AFTA.
Now I see they are even going to appeal the
Army Corps, permit, which has been 1 0 years
in the making! Hingham got its wish for a tun-
nel under ihe Square and yet this group from
Hingham is making a laughing stock of the
town with its legal action delay tactics that are
raising Ihe cost of the project. Not to mention
delaying and denying the commuting public
the benefit of being able to hop on a train for
Boston.
The money that this group must be dumping
for appeals in their ignorance could be put to so
much more humanitarian use! How about a
class-action suit against AFTA for causing the
increases in the cost of this project, which will
be paid for by us taxpayers? I kno«v I'm not
alone when I say I'm tired of the shenanigans
of this group and its predecessors and hope thai
the day the conductor calls "All Aboard" does-
n't keep getting postponed, as it has been in the
past.

School-parent partnership is a must
By Steve Bobo
SPECIAL TO THE MARINER
One issue, not always recognized by the
greater community, is changes in the role
played by parents in maintaining the health of
their children. It is not always, nor may it ever
have been, just a matter of providing necessi-
tics: fcod, a good home, advice when needed,
and. of course, love Increasingly it is a matter
of becoming cognizant of all of the social and
societal changes taking place in our environ-
ment and providing correct up-to-date infor-
mation about their implications.
Perhaps, the most profound change is the
rapid evolution of the information highway.
However, there arc others: changes in the
makeup and constitution of our vital
.csources. not the least being our food supply;
our attitudes about human relationships; and
our methods of teaching, both formal and
informal.
Communications lo this e-generation are
not hounded by the constraints we are accus-
tomed to. Gone is the Hayes Office for
movies, or any consistent reliable constraints
against advertising by the diversity of media
sources to which our children are exposed. It's
therefore almost impossible for parents to
accumulate all of the educational and experi-
ential tools necessary to enable our children t< >
develop and learn in a healthy environment.
Accordingly, like it or not. the schools must
take on a broader outlook; that of not only
teaching, but also training students and
engaging their parents and guardians to pan-
ner with schools and other agencies in shap-
ing the character of the educational environ-
ment for our children.
There are points in time when this partner-
ship is more critical than others. It has always
been well recognized that when children
approach puberty conditions for almost
everyone involved are difficult. It's not only
the children. Accordingly, the middle school
has come into being with its special rules,
understandings, and attitudes.
Project Safeguard was started by a group of
parents in 19% who took their trade! from a
similar program in Weston. Mass. Mike Gill.
Assistant Principal of the high and middle
schools, is one of the group's supporters and
provides much of the oversight and continu-
ity from the school's standpoint. The group
makes good use of email to communicate and
unify their thoughts. The mission statement
currently reads as follows: The Project

tors. defgH community representatives and
parents Mieves that the cooperation of the
entire community as well as an intimate /xir-

Diversity Committee
embraces differences
By Samantha Brown
SAMBROWN#C NC.COM
Monday. Jan. 17. ihe Cohassei community will
once again join together to honor the memory and
achievements of Dr. Martin Luther King during
the third annual Martin Luther King Day
Breakfast. Sponsored by the Cohasset Diversity
Committee and the Cohasset Clergy, the event has
become a tradition to promote togetherness while
celebrating the differences that make us all
unique.
The breakfast will be held ai the First Parish
Unitarian Universalist's Parish House from 9 -II
a.m.. with a donation of $5 per person or $15 per
family, which will be followed by a program hon-
oring the memory of Dr. King. With areas of East
Africa and Asia devastated by the earthquake and
tsunami of Dec. 26. proceeds from the breakfast
will be donated to CA R E, and Save the
Children relief efforts.
Events such as the Dr. King pancake breakfast
are a perfect example of the kinds of programs the
Cohasset Diversity Committee brings to town, in
an effort to promote cultural awareness. Since
1995 when the committee began, it has been
working to build an environment of tolerance and
respect.
The Diversity Committee was formed by a
group of parents who were concerned with the
experiences their children were having at school.
"There were comments like. 'You can"! sit with us
because you're Jewish.' or 'Don't let her play
with us because her skin is too dark.' and we won-
dered how to address it." said member Susan
Etkind. She said some of the comments were
overheard, while others were directed toward
children of Diversity Committee members which
drove the group to find a way to educate both
children, educators, and the entire community on
how to embrace the differences in everyone,
rather than segregate.
Etkind said because the incidents were taking
place at school, that was the logical place to start
educating and promoting respect. She said
Diversity Committee members began talking with
other school districts to see what kinds of pro-
grams were in place in surrounding towns. A
good number had multi-cultural programs in
place, which helped get the ball rolling.
"Because Cohasset is somewhat homoge-
neous." Etkind said students were not as familiar
with other cultures and races as students from
other towns closer to the city might be. The
Diversity Committee immediately got to work
beginning the path to educating the youngest
members of the community, and combined its
efforts with the Parent School Organization.
Together, they began fund-raising to allow them
to host a variety of programs.
Since "s inception, the PSO/Diversity
Committee has brought programs to the schools
which have exposed children to music from the
West Indies and instruments from the Native
American culture. Japanese dancers, speakers on
the tragedy of the Holocaust, and even a film pre-
sentation on life from a Palestinian perspective, to
name a few.
In addition to cultural education, the Diversity
Committee teaches the importance of embracing
the other differences that may not be as obvious.
Differences in religion, country of origin, sexual
preference, socio-economic status, or special
needs, are all part of what makes a community
unique. Member Allison Moskow said part of the
education that goes along with teaching accep-
tance is "stereotype busting." to eliminate judg-
ments from the start.
Although the Diversity Committee's work
began as a result of wanting to educate children,
member Kathryn Earle said after the tragedy of
Sept. 1 1, the group began focusing more on edu-
cating adults, while maintaining its programs for
children. On Oct. 24. 2003 the Diversity
Committee threw an "International party" in
honor of United Nations day. "We didn't know if
people would respond." said Earle. but in the end,
125 people were invited to attend, and 130
showed up. "There was definitely an interest in
the adult community to get together." she said.
Another party is being planned for this October.
Residents or friends of the community were

be much better off to see the

to make one beautiful picture.
invited to the party based on whether the
Committee thought the individual would be inter-
ested in participating. People of varying back-
grounds and ethnicity attended, and members of
the Committee say Cohasset is much more
diverse than meets the eye.
Members of the Diversity Committee stand firm
on their belief that Cohasset is much more diverse
than is often thought, but much of the personal
distinction is lost when people try to assimilate.
"We lose the rich traditions and culture and the
language differences." said Moskow. when every-
one should be celebrating the strength of distinc-
tion. Member Chartis Tebbetts agreed and said
when studying the culture of the United States,
the lesson most often taught is the metaphor of the
country's being a great melting pot. However,
she said we would be much better otf to see the
country as a mosaic, where the separate colors
come together to make one beautiful picture.
Diversity through METCO
One of the programs the Diversity Committee is
especially proud to get behind is the Metropolitan
Council for Educational Opportunity, or METCO
program. By permitting students in certain cities
to attend suburban public schools in participating
communities. METCO is able to expand educa-
tional opportunities and reduce racial imbalance.
METCO Coordinator Aleisa Gittens-Carle. who
came through the Scituate school system as a
METCO participant, said in Cohasset. the goal of
the program is to embrace each individual person,
no matter where they get up in the morning.
"I also like the idea of a mosaic, where you can
see each individual color as they connect." she
said, adding in Cohasset. which has participated
in the METCO almost since its inception in 1966.
the program has evolved over the years to a point
where the "us versus them" mentality continues
to decline.
Gittens-Carle acknowledges how hard it is for
METCO students to make the transition to come
to a school where people aren't familiar with your
neighborhood and where you come from, but she
said w ith the help of host families, there has been
a tremendous improvement with METCO stu-
dents being seen as just Cohasset students.
Member Connie Afshar pointed out many of the
Diversity Committee members are host families
for METCO students. "It is such an asset for our
own children and a fantastic way to explore racial
diversity. It is very valued." she said of the pro-
gram.
Moskow said she has hosted children who par-
ticipate in the METCO program and said she has
learned a lot from being a participant. She said it
is a leap of faith for the parents who send their
children off on the school bus as small children
into a community where they have never been
before, and have faith that there will always be a
family there on the other end that can provide the
kind of support they need at their home away
from home. Moskow said the father of a student
she hosted gave a wonderful description when he
told her, "my child, as a first-grader, is being
asked to be a diplomat between two communi-
ties."
Having been through the program herself.
Gittens-Carle said having a host family who is
there for added support is a wonderful experience.
"What better way is there to embrace someone
than to bring them into your home. That's saying
something really powerful." she said. She added
it is wonderful to see the residents of Cohasset
open their homes to children they've never had a
connection with before and to maintain a rela-
tionship with from the moment they enter the
school system to beyond their high school career.
But Gittens-Carle is quick to point out,
"Diversity is not just about color or religion,
we're talking about disabilities, socio-economic,
and other differences." But in Cohasset. she said
people are embracing all the differences, which is

II that wasn't a tsunami that struck the Outer
Cape that April night in 1717 it will have to do
until the real thing comes along.
Then again, it might not be true for you
know how those old Cape Codders are when
they get a tourist at their table and the mm is
(low ing freely.
Sam Bellamy was a handsome young sailor
on an English privateer when he arrived at
F;isihani in 1716 lor a brief stay at Higgins
Tavern. There he made triends w ith 15-year-
old Maria Hallctt. When he sailed away, he
swore he would return to her in a tall ship with
lots oi treasure.
Some months later. Maria gav e birth to
Bellamy's child. The baby died but once the
secret was out. Maria was ostracized and dri-
ven away by the townspeople of luistham. She
buill a hut lor herself on cliffs by the sea where
she kept a vigil lor her loser's return
Meanwhile. Bellamy, unhappy that he was
in ii getting nth faster, turned pirate in the
Caribbean. Capturing ship after ship, he sailed
up the coast until the Whydah. the tall ship he
w anted, fell into his hands w ith all its treasure.
In early April, the Whydah was oft the Outer
Cape.
Capt. Cyprian Southack hated Bellamy for
reasons know n only to the story teller. When he
heard the pirate was off the Outer Cape, he
summoned his crew and put out of Orleans
Harbor in a w haling boat. There was a north-
cast stiinn brewing but he didn't care. Here
was his lasi chance to intercept Bellamy.
The crew was reluctant to set sail in a north-
easter. They communicated their fears to Capt.
Southack but he was adamant. "We will find
Bellamy." he said. "I w ill chase him down if I
have to sail lo hell and hack." "You might not
be far i iff." said the first mate.
Thunder mared. Lightning Hashed. Winds
approached hurricane strength. The whaling
boat was tossed about like a cork. Rain poured
dow n i the helpless crew. A blanket of tog
put them off from (lie world outside The cap-
tain could not turn back now. e\en il he want-
ed to.
One man thought he saw breakers and crew-
men tied themselves to the rail so they would-
n't be washed overboard as they looked for the
shore. One man thought the whaling boat was
sailing thmugh trees. Another swore he saw a
house among die waves. They thought they
were losing their minds.
At last the storm ended and the men aboard
the w haling boat were able to take their bear-
ings. They were not on the bay side of the
Cape w here they started but on the Adantic
Ocean side. During the storm, the water had
risen 30 feet and carried the w haling boat
across the Outer Cape.
The Whydah bntke up and went down in the
same storm, taking Bellamy and his treasure
with it.
But sometimes, when there is a northeast
storm brewing, they say you can still see Capt.
Southack's w haling boat sailing across the
meadow s of Orleans, chasing Bellamy the
pirate.
And if you look real hard you can see the
lonely figure of 15-year-old Maria Hal Ion on
the cliff overlooking the Adantic. peering out
to sea. waiting for her kiver to return.

AfTA drops DEP wetlands appeal
Work can start in
Scituate, Cohasset
By Jllllan Fennlmore
JFENNIMO«CNC.COM
While a recent federal environ-
mental permit has given the go-
ahead for more construction
along 17.7-mile the Greenbush
rail line — work in or near wet-
lands in Scituate and Cohasset is
no longer on hold pending the
outcome of an appeal by
Advocates for Transportation
Alternatives (AFTA).
! Last week the long-awaited
permit from the Army Corps of
. Engineers allowing the MBTA to
build near and in the highly pro-
tected wetland areas in
Greenbush corridor communities
was granted.
But the AFTA appeal of the of
a state DEP wetlands variance
granted in June had stopped
work in wetlands and stalled the
AfTA's withdraw! of
its appeal of the
Cohasset and
Scituate will allow
those two corridor
communities to
begin as early as
$500 million commuter rail
restoration project.
John Bewick, president of
AfTA said the group has with-
drawn the DEP appeals and is
focusing its resources on appeal-
ing the Army Corps permit
He explained AfTA had asked
for an adjudicatory hearing
before the DEP commissioner
appealing the wetlands permit.
AfTA sought a similar hearing on
the DEP Hingham wetlands vari-
ance which was upheld by the
DEP commissioner. AfTA is still
appealing that decision in
Superior Court and if the court
agrees with AfTA, the group will
seek to have the decision also
apply to Cohasset and Scituate.
According to MBTA Scituate
ombudsman Susan Phippen,
AfTA's withdrawl of its appeal of
the DEP's wetlands variances for
Cohasset and Scituate will allow
work within the wetland areas in
those two corridor communities
to begin as early as February.
Work has been underway on
the project since the fall of 2003.
but the MBTA has been limited
to building in areas outside of the
5 acres of wetlands along the
line.
MBTA Spokesman Jon
Carlisle said the continuous per-
mit appeals by AFTA over the
past five years have stalled by
not derailed the project. Carlisle
said although AFTA is entitled to
file appeals and fight against the
issued permits, he is confident
the rulings will continue to be in
favor of the MBTA in all legal
matters.
"The only result is delay and
more cost to the residents," he
said. "Anyone familiar with the
process of these legal actions
knows that (AFTA) doesn't stand
any kind of chance whatsoever."
While MBTA officials work to
get the train rolling in 2006,
AFTA members say they will
continue to work to protect the
environment and stress the cost
for the project is too high.
"Greenbush is a fiscally unsta-
ble project," said Bewick.
"Alternatives are much less cost-
ly."
AfIA focuses on appeal of
federal Army Corps permit
+The following is a press
release issued Jan. 13 by AfTA.
Advocates for Transportation
Alternatives (AfTA) announced
yesterday (Jan. 13) that it is fil-
ing suit in federal district court in
Washington, D.C., challenging
the Army Corps of Engineers
decision to issue a wetlands per-
mit for the half-billion-dollar
Greenbush rail restoration pro-
ject without first conducting a
full environmental impact report.
"We don't think Greenbush
makes any fiscal or environmen-
tal sense," said former state envi-
ronmental secretary John
Bewick, who is president of
AfTA. a South Shore citizens
advocacy group. "All we've
been asking for is a disinterested
evaluation of the project on its
merits. The DC. courts have
heard environmental cases from
all over the Country and are the
leading experts in deciding these
types of matters. AFTA believes
that an expert court will see the
legal violations here."
"If the state insists on building
this train line, it should be done
right, not made up as they go
along," Bewick said.
"The National Environmental
Policy Act requires federal agen-
cies to conduct a full environ-
mental review of projects that
will have a significant impact on
the environment. For the less
damaging Plymouth and
Middleboro lines, the Federal
Transit Administration did a full
environmental review. The feder-
al Environmental Protection
Agency requested that the Corps
perform a full E1R for Greenbush
in 1999," said Bewick. 'To go
forward with this project without
one would be wholly irresponsi-
ble."
AfTA asserts that refusing to do
"The D.C. courts
cases from all over
the Country and are
the leading experts
in deciding these
types of matters.
AFTA believes that
an expert court will
seethe
legal violations
nere.
— John Bewick. AfTA
a full environmental review on a
major commuter rail restoration
project is both improper under
the National Environmental
Policy Act and unprecedented for
a S500 million commuter rail
restoration project. The Army
Corps itself admits that the
Greenbush Line would have neg-
ative impacts on numerous his-
torical districts and properties;
noise and local traffic, public-
safety, water quality, wetlands,
wildlife and aesthetics.
According to AfTA, some of
the things that make Greenbush a
"significant project" requiring a
full E1R under federal criteria
are:
( Adverse impacts, such as vio-
lating the mandated 400 foot
exclusion zone on tributaries to
Scifuate's drinking water supply.
< Effects on public health or
safety. With 25 grade crossings
in 17.6 miles, there are 3.5 times

as many grade crossings per mile
as on the whole MBTA com-
muter rail system. This greatly
increases the safety hazard for
fatalities. (There have been at
least four fatalities on the
restored Plymouth/Middleboro
commuter rail lines since 1997.)
( Adverse effects on historic
resources. (The Corp's own 106
Historic review process conclud-
ed that the train "per se" will
have an adverse effect on 37 his-
toric districts and properties and
2800 homes immediately adja-
cent to the tracks, an unusually
large number for a rail line.
Many more people will be direct-
ly impacted in their homes than
for any other MBTA commuter
rail line.)
{ Significant local controversy
over the project (More than 600
project opponents attended the
Corps hearings in 1 997. A Town
Meeting in Scituate. the largest
town meeting in Commonwealth
history, voted 2 to 1 against in
1995.)
( Cumulative impacts, such as
the recent FAA decision to
approve expansion of runways at
Logan that will cause 55 DBA
noise levels in portions of
Greenbush communities to
which the train will add even
more noise.
( Violation of state laws, such
as "takings" of endangered
species prohibited by the
Massachusetts Endangered
Species Act
"We believe that a full and fair
and independent review by a fed-
eral agency would conclude that
Greenbush is not the least envi-
ronmentally damaging or most
effective alternative for improv-
ing public transit to the South
Shore," said Bewick. "The rea-
son that Greenbush is a 100 per-
cent state-funded project is that
in the early I990's, the Federal
Transit Administration refused to
fund it. precisely because there
are better ways of achieving the
same goals."
Bewick said that expansion and
enhancement of existing transit
alternatives on the South Shore
would create a belter transit sys-
tem, attract far more new riders
than Greenbush at a fraction of
the cost with dramatically less
impact on the environment. At
$360,000 per new car off the
highways at rush hour.
Greenbush is far too expensive.
It is a misdirected use of limited
rail capacity insofar as the real
South Shore population growth
is in the areas served by the
Middleboro and Plymouth lines,
two lines that will be unable to
add rush hour trains if Greenbush
is built.
"Unfortunately the MBTA has
consistently failed to fairly eval-
uate alternatives to commuter rail
restoration." he said. "It ignores
the impacts of its failed policies
such as the dramatic reduction in
commuter boat ridership when it
increased the daily cost from $6
per day from Hingham to Boston
to $14 per day and lost about a
third of its riders.
"Such shortsighted policies
result in a system that is among
the most expensive and least
effective in the nation. The
MBTA is having to make dra-
matic cuts in service to cut costs
at the same time that it is adding
a project that will add about $15
per ride in total subsidy for new
riders attracted to the system.
Greenbush is simply a fiscally
irresponsible project as well as
highly damaging project to the
environment."

Three Cohasset grupplers won
their weight Class ai last week-
end's North Quincy tourna-
ment, and the Skippers ran away with
the team title.
With 191 £ points. Cohasset finished
over 40 points ahead of their nearest com-
petitor, the host Red Raiders
Leading the way lor Turin Sweeney's
squad were senior Kevin Dinsmore ( 1 30-
pound Class), junior Shane l>)nun (140)
and senior Joe Kehoe 1152), all of whom
won an individual title.
After finishing tilth ova the holiday
break at the Marshtield tournament.
Dinsmore turned in his strongest showing

"Kevin wrestled a great tournament."
Sweeney said. "I think he was really
focused on winning this tournament alter

Hull a sign of
things to come
The Cohasset hockey team
hopes it has turned the
comer.
After thiee lopsided losses, the
Skippers turned the tables on fel-
low South Shore League squad
Hull,dominalinginan8-l victory
Wednesday night at the Pilgrim
Skating Arena in Hingham.
A goal from senior Mark
Donovan kicked off the scoring
six minutes into the game, with
assists from line-mates Pat
Doonan and Mark Bouchard.
It looked for a little while like
Cohasset might be in for a low-
scoring slugfest. but they quickly
cast aside that possibility with two
goals late in the first period, both
from senior captain Tim Pile/.ik
The first was set up by Brian
Straughn and Joe Dm km. and the
second by a great pass from dais-
mate and fellow captain Ted
Straughn. Pilc/ak made it count
with an excellent shot from the
right face-off circle.
The scoring onslaught contin-
ued in the second period with live
more goals. Forty seconds into the
period. Brian Straughn scored off
a pass from Pilc/ak. Just over
three minutes later, sophomore
Conor Holway. who has stepped
up lately in defense, scored unas-
sisted to make it 5-0.
Pal LXxinan scored the team's
sixth goal and assisted on the sev-
enth, scored by sophomore
Austen Lan/illotti (Corbin Faber
assisted Doonan's goal ). With sec-
onds remaining in the period,
Pilc/ak went for the hat trick with
a strong shot from the blue line,
which wound up being tipped in
by Faher.
For Faber. it was his first goal on
the varsity level. The play also
completed a four-point night for
Pilc/ak. who has moved up front
to the first line (with the Straughn
brothers) as part of Cohasset's
recent re-shuffling.
The easy win gave Cohasset
head coach Ben Virga a chance to
play some of his fourth-liners and
reserve defensemen. Among
those getting some good ice time
were R.K. Quebec. Kurt Grit/an.
Colin Smith, Melissa Crowley-
Buck and Benn Massotta. Virga
commended all for the effort they
put forth Wednesday night.
The coach also complimented
the third line of TJ. Kennedy.
Lan/illotti and Faber for their
fore-checking and ability to create
some offense in the /one.
The win and all-around effort
from all of his players left Virga in
good spirits Thursday morning.
"This was definitely a good
moment for a program that hasn't
had any the last couple weeks." he
said.
The win was also key in terms
of the Skippers' standing in the
league. Their record in the SSL is
l-l. with the loss coming
Saturday to Abington/East
Bridgewater.
Generally sneaking, shots on
goal are a gtxxl indicator of how a
hockey game is going to go.

however, there was an exception
to the rule.
Through two periods, the shots
were 22-18 in favor of Cohasset.
The scoreboard at the Pilgrim
Skating Arena in Hingham
showed a different story, as the
Green Wave were up 5-2. and that
is how the score would remain for
the rest of the game.
Pat Bishop scored twice for the
visitors, while Matt Jones. Joe
Nadeau and Derick Slonina all
scored a goal apiece.
Pat Doonan and Brian Straughn
got the goals for Cohasset.
The game was shaping up to be
a back-and-forth affair through
the first 20 minrues. AEB scored
the first goal of the game in the
first period and their second goal
in the second period, but both

CHS girls
hoping to
rebound from
losing streak
By Evan Deutsch
CORRESPONDENT
It is rather incredible how this
year's Lady Skipper basketball
team has created an almost mir-
ror-image to last year's squad.
Both teams roared into the
New Year with a string of four
victories, only to hit a brick wall.
The trouble with this year's
team started with a loss to
Kingston's Sacred Heart at the
2004 Holiday Tournament. The
Lady Skippers thought they
could quickly hop back on the
winning track. Unfortunately,
the opposite happened.
Take the Jan. 3 game as a case
in point. The Skippers traveled
west to play the Blue Raiders in
Hopedale. It is quite certain none
of the girls listed "losing" on
their New Year's resolutions list.
Yet, that is exactly what hap-
pened when the Blue Raiders
handed Cohasset a 49-40 disap-
pointment.
Except for the consistent
shooting of senior co-captains
Casey Anderson (25 points) and
Nicole Whitney (nine points),
the rest of the Skippers looked
rusty in their shooting. Their
failure to box out the Blue
Raiders also hurt the Skippers in
this match-up.
Defensively speaking, the girls
got the job done. They switched
to a physically taxing man-to-
man defense late in the game.
"Our man-to-man defense was
really working well," said junior
point guard Chelsea Grossman.
"We hustled hard and even made
a comeback at the end. I feel we
could have won if we hadn't run
out of time."
Coach John Levangie com-
mended his players for their high
level jf intensity and energy.
"I give the girls a lot of credit
for the effort they put forth." said
Levangie. "Hopedale is a very
good team, and the girls tried
incredibly hard "
Hoping to "reverse the curse."
the Skippers traveled to
Abington four days later only to
be rebuffed for their third loss in
limes, Cohasset came back short-
ly after to tie it up.
The Green Wave then scored
three goals in a 4:30 span toward
the end of the second period, and
that was the knockout sequence.
Nade.iu scored v, hat turned out
to be the game-winner at the 8:4K
mark of that frame, as he fired a
shot towards the Cohasset net that
deflected of a Skipper's skate and
into the goal. Bishop got his sec-
ond goal of the game less than a
minute later on a breakaway that
was set up by James Sheehan
With 1:42 left in the period,
Slonina closed llie scoring, as he
was in good position to take
advantage of a defensive mishap
right at the doorstep of the
Cohasset net.
AEB head coach Tony
Sulmonte praised his frontliners
after the game for their efforts.
"My hat goes oft to our for-
wards; they tixik a beating from
some big Cohasset defensemen
and were able to collect loose
pucks and score." he said.
Virga said afterwards he thought
the final score was misleading,
given the number of chances (the
Skippers had 24 shots total) they
created.
"I have no complaints about
our effort," he said. "We worked
hard, and I thought our young
guys stepped up and played real-

Despite being short-handed,
the Norwell-Cohassel gymnas-
tics team knocked off a previ-
>usly unbeaten Hanover-
Rockland squad Monday
evening.
Led by the impressive all-
around sci ires oi Nancy Durktn
and Samantha Rosen. Nor-C'oh
squeaked it out. 1 2X 5 to 127.95.
Durkin. a senior from
Cohasset. earned solid scores
across the hoard: 8.6 on the bal-
ance beam. 8.5 in the floor exer-
cise. 8.2 on the bars and 8.1 on
the vault.
Rosen competed well in three
events: floor (8.7). vault (8.2)
and bars (8.0). It was the
Norwell senior's clutch perfor-
mance under pressure on the
floor that sealed the deal, she
was the last athlete to perform in
that last event, and came away
with the- meet's second-highest
score.
Last year. Nor-Coh went unde-
feated in a league that included
Han-Rock. This year, the girls
are in the larger Cranberry
League with different schools,
but Rosen said the w in ov er their
rivals still counts for a lot.

The team needed those ath-
letes to step up. as they were
without two of their best gym-
nasts Erin Kelly was out with
illness, and Carly Arena is out
for the year after suffering a leg
injury in a recent practice.
"I'm just really proud of our

which is impressive for the kids.
I think they felt proud of their

story, different town."
Cohasset's shooting looked
colder than a January swim off
Bassings Beach. Yet, the Lady
Skippers ran the defensive pat-
terns like clockwork
"This was the hardest I've ever
seen the girls play." said
Levangie. "They really played
their hearts out. but just couldn't
get their shots to fall."
Casey Anderson still managed
to throw down 1 7 points. Lacey
Richardson, Nicole Whitney,
and Chelsea Grossman also
made significant contributions
despite the 51-39 score.

this game all we had." remarked
Junior Mia Lieb-Lappen.
"Though a loss is always disap-
pointing, I feel we showed
incredible hustle."
Only three minutes into the
game. Lieb-Lappen departed
from the game feeling quite ill.

could not make much forward
progress.

defeated a Barnstable wrestler
who had beat him at Marshfield.
Kehoe, a defending state
champion, battled through ill-
ness to finish in the top spot.
"He sucked it up. We kind of
just brought him along, and sim-
ply asked him to do the best he
could." Sweeney said. "He
kicked everyone's butt."
This trio led a well-balanced
performance for Cohasset. who
had II out of 13 of their
wrestlers place in the top six.
Perhaps the most encouraging
sign was the performance of
defending state champion. Matt
Baroudi.
In his first competition back
from injury, the senior finished
third overall. In an exciting
semifinal match. Baroudi lost in
double-overtime. It was a match
that Sweeney said his star would
have won had he been in top
wrestling shape.
Ban Hid i competed in the 189-
pound class, a spot that had been
occupied by sophomore Nick
Cambi. As a result. Cambi
moved up to the 215-pound
division, and turned in a solid
performance by finishing sixth.
"Nick wrestled really well; he
beat the number-2 seed in his
second match, which was great
for him." Sweeney said. "He
had to bite the bullet a little bit
there, and he did a really nice
job."
Coming off a championship
performance in Marshfield,
senior Jon Littauer took second
in NQ in the 1 19-pound class.
All finishing fourth in their
divisions were junior Jake
Watts (103). sophomore Adam
Smith (125) and junior Dave
McKenna (145). For McKenna.
it was his first tournament com-
petition of the year, and he fared
well.
Ryan McLellan, a sophomore,
placed fifth in the 112-pound
class. Rounding out Cohasset's
top performers was senior Matt
Casey, who took sixth at 1 7 1 . A
champion at Marshfield, Casey
was cruising through this tour-
nament as well before suffering
a minor injury in the semifinals.
The Cohassel coaches decided
not to risk further injury, and
forfeited his remaining match-
es.
The Skippers geared up for
their tournament tomorrow
with a lopsided win over
Norwell on Wednesday.
The Cohasset tournament
starts tomorrow at 9:30 a.m.,
with the finals to start around 5
p.m. Including the hosts, 10
teams will be competing.
Among the top teams joining
Cohasset at the tournament are
Duxbury. Hanover, Rockland,
Hamilton-Wenham and
Lynnfield.

Boys Patriot League
basketball handles Hanson
Page 19
Patriot League basketball
resumed this past Sunday with all
three teams facing Hanson in
exciting hoop action.
The new year brought renewed
enthusiasm lo all three squads, as
they dominated their games and
won.
The sixth grade boys scored
early and never looked back in
their contest. Robbie Hill set the
tone for his team with aggressive,
heads up play offensively and
defensively. Hill was wild under
the defensive boards. Hying in and
stripping Hanson of the ball. Hill
prevented Hanson from getting
many early second chance shots.
Cohavset took advantage of the
fast break, first with a Mike
Monaco to Hill to Ben Campbell
who was fouled taking the shot.
The next offensive play was a
Gabe Seksay led fast break.
Seksay rebounded and fed
Monaco who hit Robert Jones for
the easy layup. Cohasset just
dominated both ends of the court
and led early 8-2.
Quick substitutions kept fresh
legs on the court. The boys in blue
masterfully worked their offen-
sive strategy, swinging the ball to
the weak side and Sam
Richardson hit a sweet outside
jump shot.
Defensively. Hill blocked a shot
and Cohasset converted to score,
and go up 1 3-2. Campbell fed a
waiting Eric Wasel in the the low
post for another Cohasset score.
Anders Goet/ was ferocious,
guarding Hanson's ball handlers,
preventing them from driving the
lane.
Jack Carrier was also a force
under the boards for Cohasset cre-
ating second shot opportunities.
Robert Jones played heads up
ball, feeding the open man and
taking the shot when open him-
self. Derek Youngman and Drew
Cobin pro\ ided quickness in the
back court, causing Hanson to be
unable to break the press. Robert
Jones led all scorers with 14
points and Ben Campbell chipped
in 6.
All around, it was another great
team effort, with Cohasset easi)
defeating Hanson. The sixth
grade squad improves to 5-2 on
the season.
The seventh grade team took to
the floor and dominated early on.
The boys not only had the home
court advantage, they had a size
advantage as well. Aggressive
rebounding and defensive efforts
kept Hanson from scoring, as the
Cohasset squad jumped out lo an
early 6-0 le*& Taylor McQuade
and Dana Valentine dominated
the boards on both ends with their
sheer physical presence.
By rebounding so strongly.
McQuade and Valentine, along
with the scrappy Brendan
Doonan. got the fast break offense
in motion. Eamon Davis and
John Kearney frequently found
themselves in the right place at the
right time, stripping Hanson ball
handlers.
Coming in with fresh legs. Chris
Brown. Johnny Maher and Kevin
"Big Play" O'Connell. increased
the momentum. O'Connell was
on fire, draining the outside shot.
He also was phenomenal passing
the hall. Davis and Maher benefit-
ed from O'Connell's precision
passing, scoring from the inside.
Brown controlled the boards
defensively, preventing Hanson
from second shot opportunities.
Jeff Charles played very aggres-
sively, diving on the floor for
loose balls, stripping the opponent
and creating last break chances.
Will Wise provided great ball
movement, swinging the ball lo
the weak side.
Frequent rotations kept new
blood on the court. Coach Davis
commented "Clutch play,
whether passing or shooting, from
the bench led to the win."
Valentine and Maher were high
scorers for Cohasset. each with
eight points.
The eighth grade squ;id finished
out the Patriot League action in a
winning fashion.
The start of the game saw
Cohasset's John Slurino as a
defensive menace to visiting
Hanson. StUrino was everywhere,
stealing the hall, diving on loose
balls and creating havoc for the
Hanson offense. Cohasset took an
early 8-2 lead.
Hanson regrouped and Slowl)
chipped away at the Cohasset
lead Nick Savage and Dan
Martin were strong on the boards,
preventing Hanson from too
many second chance scores. Nick
Simonds kept the motion offense
in motion feeding the weak side.
With three seconds left in the
first half, and the score tied.
Hanson hit a three pointer to go
up 19- 1 6 at the half.
The second hall started with a
rejuvenated Cohasset squad.
Working the fast break. Evan
Richardson went coast to coast
putting his team in the lead.
Hanson could MM match up with
his speed and agility, allowing
Richardson to frequent!) dissect
the Hanson defense for points.
The lead changed hands contin-
uously throughout the beginning
of the second half. Martin found
Richardson off an offensive
rebound and Richardson scored to
put Cohasset up. Hanson returned
and scored. Sturino drove the
baseline and was fouled, sinking
both free throws, putting Cohasset
up 22-21.
Cohasset continued to tr.uk- bas-
kets with Hanson. A possessed
Slurino went coasl lo coasl MX
once but twice off steals to score
for Cohasset A resounding block
by Martin kepi Cohasset up b\
two. The momentum was perma-
nently shifted into Cohasset's
favor when an alert Danny Brady
fed Richardson for Iwo and a foul
Cohassei went up 30-26.
On an offensive rebound.
Simonds was fouled and went
one for two. Mike Rlhian then
grabbed the nest offensive
rebound and found himself at the
foul line and sunk both lo pul
Cohasset up 33-26.
Nick Savage and Adam Berga
kept the hall in Cohasset's hands
throughout the game, with their
Strong rebounding on both ends.
Owen London found his range
and sank two outside jump shots,
Lennan Brown kepi the motion
offense going, swinging Ihe hall
to Ihe weak side, tiring out the
Hanson defenders. Marcus
Charles kepi pressure on the
Hanson guards and created
turnovers that prevented Hanson
from scoring.
Richardson sealed the win for
his team, with two trips to ihe foul
line in ihe lasl minuies and sink-
ing all four shots. Coach

ing together, playing smarter ball

•AEB kepi up the pressure in the
third period. out-shooting
Cohasset 1 1 -4. Five of those shots
came during a 5-0O-3 advantage
in the opening minutes of the peri-
od.
From there stemmed perhaps
the brightest spot of the day for
Ihe Skippers: the play of senior
goalie Brendan Michaud. After
watching the first two periods
from the bench. Michaud slopped
all II of those shots, which
included some great chances by
AEB's Stephen Sheppard and
James Sheehan.
Michaud got the start
Wednesday against Hull and
played well against a limited
number of shots. Along with
junior netminder Stefan Pamell.
Virga has a couple options in goal,
and both kids will see iheir share
of ice time as the season progress-
es.
For Virga and his charges, the
overall goal for the season
remains the same: qualify for the
stale tournament. Ai 2-3. the
coach knows what has lo he done.
"We have to go 8-7 in our last 1 5

After dominating the Old
GAmy League last season with
a combined record of 48-10.
which featured undefeated
championship seasons for the
sixth and seventh grade teams
and a trip to the finals for the fifth
graders, the four teams in the
Cohassd GWs Travel Basketball
Program f« grades 5-8 made the
move this scar to the more com-
petitive South Shore League.
Although the girls have started
slow l\ against a higher level of
competition, each of the teams
has made their mark in league
play thus liit .
A-ftei an opening game sweep
at the hands of Norwell in w hich
all four squads suffered a set-
back, the sixth grade girls earned
the program's firsl South Shore
"W" w ith a coin incing 27-.' v ic-
lory at Raynham. Guard Emma
Quigkey struck for double figure*
with a 10-poini effort, hitting on
shots from in-close and from the
outside
Kate French with six points.
Carly Haggerty with live.
Lindsay Davis with four, and
Carly Martin with two points
rounded out a balanced Cohassci
offensive attack. Also playing
key rules in the victory wen-
guard Rachel F:rede\. who
dished out a number of assists,
and forwards Eliza Kinnealey
and Logan Piatt, who helped
sustain a lough Cohasset defense
which allowed Raynham just
one Held goal on the day.
Die sixth graders earned their
second win of the year a week
later with a powerful 3X- 1 7 vic-
tor) at Carver. Forwards Lindsay
Davis and Kate French shared
scoring honors with double-fig-
ure totals of 10 points apiece,
w hile center Carly Haggerty tin-
gled the tw ine for eight points.
However, it was a mini-offen-
sive hurst by lj>gan Pratt that
propelled the Cohasset girls to
the win. Carver had moved out to
an early S-6 lead on the strength
of some outside shooting over
the top of (he Cohasset 2-3 /one
defense. Cohasset bounced hack
to forge ahead to grab a 1 2-S
lead. '
But lhal"s when Pratt swished
two successive 12-footers from
the baseline to Open up the Blue
& White bulge to eight points, a
lead from which Carver never
recovered.
The victory was notable for a
number of personal (cam records
for this group of girls. The 38
points marked the highest total
scored by the Sixers in one game
and also marked (he highest
point total by any sixth grade
team so far this season in the
SSL.
In addition. Lmina Ouigley
recorded the first three-point
field goal for this gmup of Sixlli
Graders in their two years of
play. Amy Costa with two points
and Olivia Murphy with a free
throw also got into the scoring
column for Cohasset. while
guard Caroline Fein earned
defensive plaudits wilh a number
of steals.
The sixth graders currently
Stand at 2-4 on ihe year, but have
been ahead at certain junctures in
every ballgame except for a 21-
10 loss 10 Hanson. Now that they
have become accustomed to the
faster tempo of the SSL. the
Sixers will be looking forward to
a strong finish over ihe second
half of ihe season.
The seventh grade team has
also found the adjustment to the
new league to be a challenge.
While the girls lost the first four
games, three of those losses
could have easily been wins. In
the season opener they lost a
tough battle to Norwell; in the
second game they lost a heart-
breaking double OT game to
Raynham; and they losi by only
six to Hanson. In the fourth game
against Carver, their three AAU
players proved to be too strong
for Cohasset.
TWs past weekend the Sevens
broke into the win column with a
strong effort against Duxbury
that resulted in a 28-13 victory.
Most of the girls from last year's
championship team who have
returned led Cohasset to the tri-
umph.
Samantha Crough. Mimi
Mahoney. and Erin Fontaine pro-
vided strong backcourt w ork and
upfront Tori Lehr. Meredith
Kelly, and Lindsey Allard
WOfked the boards and got some
easy baskets. Isabelle Franklin
sat out the Duxbury game with
an injured ankle, but Amy
Meikleham and Lucy Noble
picked up the slack with strong
all-around games. Also logging
valuable minutes in the Duxbury
game, as they have throughout
the season. wereTaryn Donahue.

WORSHIP NOTES
Archbishop O'Malley
to visit St. Anthonys
His Excellency Sean P. O'Malley. OFM Cap..
Archbishop of Boston will make his first visit to
St. Anthony Parish. Cohasset. where he will cel-
ebrate the 9:30 a.m. Mass at St. Anthony Church
on Sunday. Jan. 16.
A reception will follow the liturgy in the Parish
Center. Parishioners and friends are cordially
invited to attend the Mass and the reception.
The Rev. John Mulvehill. pastor of St.
Anthony's, said Archbishop O'Malley has been
visiting parishes in the diocese. "But this is his
first visit to Cohasset." said Mulvehill who
received a call last Friday about the visit and
announced it at last Sunday's Mass.
He expects O'Malley will talk on the scriptures
of the day in the regular Sunday Mass. but hopes
people will express their concerns to O'Malley
in the informal reception at the parish hall.
Mulvehill explained many Scituate residems
who were part of St. Frances Xavier Cabrini
Church - which the diocese closed in October -
have been attending St. Anthony's. Before
Christmas, roughly 600 more people were
attending the liturgies than in past years,
Mulvehill said. He said St. Anthony's can
accommodate the extra people and has not had to
add additional masses.
Some of the St. Frances parishioners have been
holding a 24-hour •'sit-in" since October to
protest the closing of their church as part of the
Boston diocese reconfiguration plan.

Loosely guided, we set off learning
about the interudal /one or looking
for wildlife. At times, seals sur-
rounded us and stared inquisitively,
making us feel as if we were actual-
ly interacting with Alaska rather
than just ohserving it from a dis-
tance. If we weren't kayaking, we
were on shore with one of the ship's
three naturalists. Some walks were
more nature hikes, on which our
earthy guides talked to us about
medicinal uses of plants and read
poetry in the forest to give us a
"sense of place." The experience
took on a distinct summer camp
feel. A wake-up call was broadcast
at 7 a.m. and activities, all offered
without an extra charge, started at K
a.m. Those who. like me. w anted to
do as much as possible, could take
an escorted kayak trip from 8:30 to

11:30 am., return for lunch and
then be off at I p.m. for a three-hour
nature hike. On another afternoon,
when no long hike was offered, I
kept myself off ship by kayaking on
my own for an hour, hiking for the
next hour, then finishing the after-
noon with another rum in a kayak.
Being in my mid-20s and fairly fit,
I found the organized kayak excur-
sions to be comfortably tiring but
hardly draining.

The hikes, on the other hand,
were not quite as challenging as I
had hoped, although at least two
hikes required truly nimble foot-
work to walk up slippery nicks and
pull yourself over muddy, twisted
roots. The small-ship advantage in
seeing wildlife was evident during
our 24-hour stay in Glacier Bay.
Just after noon when die big ships
left for their next port of call, we had
only started our exploring. We
cruised along the coast getting close
to mountain goats and their babies
jumping from ledge to ledge on
precarious cliffs. We followed two
moose swimming across a bay and
appniached a colony of large sea
lions playfully frolicking in the
water and on land.
In addition to spotting wildlife,
the goal for most passengers was
seeing glaciers, and we got our fill
in Glacier Bay and Tracy Arm. I
pulled open the blinds in my cabin
one morning, and the window was
tilled with an unmistakable, mile-
long blue wall that was Marjorie
Glacier only a few hundred feet
away, the colors so vivid the ice
seemed to glow from within. Later,
we all marveled at seeing the glaci-
ers calving, when large sections
suddenly split off and plummet into
the water. The noise is what
impresses the most — a deep thun-
derous cracking followed by a sud-
den resumption of undisturbed
silence. Whales were so plentiful
throughout the cruise that by the
end of our week they hardly drew a
glance. But we all were caught
unaw'are one day when a whale sur-
faced less than 1 0 feet in front of our
ship. We first knew of its presence
by its deep, guttural breathing
sound, followed by the scream of
shock from the person on the bow
realizing she was looking down on
top of a whale.
Though passengers on our cruise
ranged from teens to those in their
70s, the average age was late 40s or
early 50s. All shared an intense
enthusiasm for getting out and see-
ing Alaska. Few had ever taken a
cruise before. The Wilderness
Adventurer has one public space,
the forward half a lounge with a bar
while the aft half serves as the din-
ing room. Rather than glitzy casinos
and revues, evenings on this ship
included short ecology talks by a
naturalist, with everyone gathered
in the lounge as if around a camp-
fire. Onboard dress was equally
casual. Forget bringing a tie — we
often wore rain gear in the lounge
and the only thing brought to meals
were binoculars and cameras
(strewn on the tables as we ate). All
passengers came well prepared and
fitted not only with the proper gear,
but a good spirit — the occasional
rocky sea and driving rain drew no

last night, passengers gathered
around to exchange e-mail address-
es and watch a slide show of the
week that the crew had surrepti-
tiously been working on throughout
the trip. Laughing and acting out
silly skits in the lounge, we reflect-
ed on our shared, intense week and
how sorry we were to leave. Each

experience and appreciate the true
beauty of Alaska, and we had.

Why We Could Get So Many Bargains:

Here's
Apparently, over Fialf of New York City's oriental rug importers (there really aren't thaTmany) were concerned that the current
world chaos would dry up their sources ...So they very quietly brought in far more that they usually do. I guess they figured
that the world upheaval would reduce production of hand made rugs and make it too dangerous or expensive to transport
them. . . and that was before that awful tsunami!
Now these Importers are pretty crafty, and they donl tell their competitors what they are doing. At the New York Market
on Dercember 14th, most of them were surprised to find such an over-supply, and so was Marjorie, our astute buyer. She was
delighted at the bargains that she got from vendor #1 ! She was thrilled with the bargain she got from the vendor #2!! She is
enthralled with the rugs offered by vendor #3!!! Margorie knew that she already had bought too many when she went to vend
dn't resist his proposition!!!! Margorie called my son Bill, who got us into the Oriental Rug business, and told
him that she had already overbought but the bargains were too good to refuse. Should she keep going? Bill
replied. "If these are bonafide bargains that we will be proud to sell, keep buying. We may never get another
chance like this! After all, that's what banks are for".

ASE THESE PUGS A <SOOP
INVESTMENT?
No one really knows! I would guess that as
"western culture" spreads, the cost of rug making
will go up. The costs of transportation will go up
but no one really knows.
They ARE a good investment if you enjoy living
with them, walking on them, and looking at them.
I consider them a work of art for the floor instead
of for the wall ...and a desirable heirloom to
pass down from generation to generation.

REAL EAR MEASUREMENT
Aside from the subjective
responses that (he hearing
instrument specialist elicits from
ihe wearer when fitting a hear-
ing instrument, ii is necessary to
obtain objective information lo
verify that the instrument
improves hearing. This is
attained by administering a test
called "real ear measurement." It
involves placing a miniature
microphone in the wearer's ear
canal to measure sounds which
are introduced through a loud-
speaker. The measurcmem is
laken both with and without the
hearing instrument in the ear.
This enables the hearing instru-
ment specialist to learn how ihe
sound is resonating and being
amplified within the ear canal,
providing a better understanding
of how the signal should be
changed lo suit the wearer's indi-
vidual needs.
Put your hearing future in the
hands of caring professionals. It
is the job of ihe hearing instru-
ment specialist to find the per-
fect match between instrument
and patient. He or she will take
into consideration all the many
factors that will affect the suc-
cess of wearing an instrument.
Let us do what we do best - call
on FAMILY HKARING CARE
CENTER for testing, evalua-
tion, fittings, follow-up care,
and quality hearing products.
You can reach us at 781-337-
1144. $34 Main St. (Rte. 18).

For at least 50 minutes —
roughly the lengih of Sunday's

— Archbishop Sean O'Malley
could put aside divisiveness and
disruption in the diocese and
preach on the universal themes
of love, sacrifice, fidelity, dedi-
cation and peace on earth.
His distinctive, rich voice res-
onated throughout the pristine
church adorned with white poin-
scttias whose Icau's comple-
mented the kelly green vest-
ments worn by the Archbishop,
his secretary the Rev, Brian
Buchard. and the Rev John
Mulvehill. St. Anthony's pastor.
"We need to make time and
space lor God in our lives."
O'Malley said.
Upwards of 5(H) people of all
ages ranging from newborns to
nonagenarians filled the church.
The audience warmly received
O'Malley s message, which was
interrupted by hymns featuring
soloist Lily Sestito. and the con
gregation broke into applause at
the end of the service.

Cohasset resident starts new business
By Samantha Brown
SAMBROWN^CNC.COM
When her children were
small. Mary Foley remembers
standing around the bus stop
with the other mothers, wish-
ing they had someone to lend
to all the items on their "to-
do" lists. In essence, they
each wanted someone to help
plan the parties, do the shop-
ping, and clean things up —
they wanted a wife of their
own.
This summer, with one
daughter in high school, two
off to college, and some new-
found time on her hands.
Foley turned that dream into
a business venture.
"WifeWorks." which will
take on virtually any task.
From walking the dog. to
hanging shelving, to painting
bedrooms — Foley said she
is ready and willing to do it
all.
"It's such a simple idea,
everyone always says, 'Why
didn't I think of thai."" she
said, adding these day s. people
often don't live near their fam-
ilies and the don't like to
impose on their friends too
often. She said her soft ice
provides a way to get some
help for things a person might
normally ask their mother or
sister to do.
"I'm good at a lot of things
and I can hit the ground run-
ning." said Foley, adding
many people are looking lor
services which they could hire
a professional to do. at a high-
er cost, or a student who might
not have the experience. She
can till that in-between niche.
After managing her own
household for years. Foley

2004, the Building Department
permitted work that was val-

$157,000. Raising fees will'
yield an estimated $60,000 for'

In addition. Egan has pro-'

raised to $20 and for a 30

There will be a public hear-
ing on the issue at the Jan. 25

questions or hear concerns
from the public.
In a related item, user lees at •
the harbor will increase from
$5 per foot to $6 per foot, for
boats occupying moorings and
dock space. User fees have
not been increased for at least
the past 10 years. Currently,
there is no charge for float lies,
but beginning this summer, the
same user fee of S6 per fool
will be implemenied for float-
ing dock space, with a manda-
tory boat length of 12 feet
required to occupy a space. In
addition, those boats which do
not pay their user fee will be
charged a penalty of $50 on
top of their user fee. and will
be pad locked by the harbor-
master until payment is
received.
Increasing fees at the harbor
will help that department
become self-funding. This
year, the budget is $6,000
short of completely paying for
itself.
At the Jan. 25 meeting of the
Board of Selectmen, Fire
Chief Roger Lincoln will make
a presentation about the possi-
bility of raising ambulance
fees to increase revenue as
well.

BUS accident feedback aired Full-day kindergarten on the table
Installing seatbelts
will be examined
SAMBROWN»CNC COM
Members of ihe School
Committee say they were very
disappointed comments they
have heard from members of the
community regarding the school
bus accident which occurred
Monday, Dec. 20. Some parents
said the administration should
never have sent children out on a
tield trip in inclement weather,
while others criticized the way
the situation was handled after
the fact.
At roughly 7:15 a.m. on the
day of the accident, three buses
carrying a total of 137 seventh-
grade students left the middle
high school to attend a play at the
John Hancock building in
Boston. The buses were travel-
ing north in the HOV lane on the
Southeast Expressway in
Dorchester when the third bus in
line hit the second bus in line,
sending 15 students to area hos-
pitals.
School Committee member
Adrienne MacCarthy said her
son was one of the students
transported to the hospital, and
she said between the administra-
tion, teachers, and emergency
personnel. "I know the situation
couldn't have been handled in a
more professional manner."
MacCarthy said the parents of
students involved were also great
in pulling together during what
could have potentially been a cri-
sis situation, as many offered
rides to other students and every-
one pulled together to help each
other out. "I think it was handled
very well." she said.
If she had thought the weather
was going to be that bad.
MacCarthy said she could have
made the decision to not send her
child to school, but she didn't,
and had anticipated her child
coming home having had a great
time.
School Committee member
Rick Flynn said his son is also in
seventh grade and was involved
in the accident, and he supports
MacCarthy \ sentiments 100
percent. "This is not something
you practice for or what you ever
want to happen, but in situations
like this, you And out what
you're made of." he said. While
"It's easy to be a
Monday morning
quarterback."
— Rick Flynn.
School Committee
there has been some discussion
regarding whether the right call
was made to send students off on
the field trip with questionable
weather, he said as someone who
has traveled to Boston for the
past 18 years, usually it's clear
sailing on Route 3. even if the
back roads don't look clear. "It's
easy to be a Monday morning
quarterback." he said.
Supt. Denise Walsh said she
was very proud of Ihe way things
were handled the day of the acci-
dent. She said it was wonderful
to "see parents coming to the
school without being asked." and
gave her sincerest thanks to the
administrative team who knew
exactly where to go that morning
— to be with the students. When
the school found out about the
accident. Principal Jack
DeLoren/o and AssiMani
Principal Michael Gill immedi-
ately hopped in the car. Walsh
said the two men on the scene as
well as many teachers helped put
parents' minds at ease, because
they knew their children "were
with people who love them."
Although Walsh said she
believed the situation was han-
dled in the best way possible. "I
would be cra/y to say we didn't
learn from this." she said, adding
by the end of the day. she had
coordinated a debriefing for the
staff. She said some in attendance
were still shaking from Ihe day's
events, but she felt it was
extremely important to talk about
the situation and address any
pmolems or concerns right away.
In the aftermath
Walsh said immediately after
the accident, many people began
asking why there are no seatbelts
on the bus. She said alter an ini-
tial investigation, she has found
there are "as many pros as cons"
to ihe safely device, but said pos-
sibly, as a strategic planning ini-
tiative, a sub-committee can he
formed to look into Ihe issue,
which can report back to the
School Committee.
"We want to let Ihe community
know, we're listening, we've
heard you, and we share your
concern," she said.
Walsh said only three stales cur-
rently require seatbelts on the bus.
and to the best of her knowledge,
they are New Jersey. New York,
and Florida. However, if there is
a chance seal belts can cause
more injury when used than if
not. which some studies suggest
Walsh said Ihe community will
want lo proceed with caution.
School Committee Vice
Chairman Chartis Tebbetts said
another important element lo con-
sider is ihe "major financial impli-
cation" installing seal bells in the
school buses would have. Walsh
agreed and said in the end. it
might make more sense lo install
more padding in ihe rear of ihe
seals, so students facing forward
will have more cushion in the
event ol an accident
In addilion to sealbells. ihe
Conneci-ed notification technolo-
gy, which sends pre-recorded
messages lo parents via the tele-
phone, will he fully operational
soon. A Idler was seni home lo
parents ihe week of Jan. 10. and a
trial menage was slated io be sen)
home by Ihe end of the week.
Wiih ihe recent events. Walsh said
she has been processing what ihe
technology would have meant
during Ihe accident. "The initial
phone call would have been
frightening because we didn'l
know how badly the students
were injured." Walsh said.
However, she said she would
have loved to have had the tech-
nology available to send home a
message once it was known all
students had been treated and
released.
MacCarthy said the technology
would have also been .1 greal vv.iv
10 instruct parents whose children
were involved in ihe accident to
come to a specific location, such
as the auditorium, where they
would be given all the informa-
tion they need about ihe accident
or could meel their children lo
lake them home.
Anyone with questions alxmt

or the Connected technology sys-
tem is encouraged to contact

Part of revenue
generating plan
By I
SAMBROWNeCNC COM
In an effort to offset the fiscal
year 2005 budget deficit and
plan for 2(K)6 the school depart-
ment has begun looking at ways
to both increase revenue and
reduce expenditures, and has tar-
geted five actions which can be-
taken.
The schools have begun look'
ing at ways to expand programs
that will provide a service to the
community as well as generate
revenue. Osgood Principal Janel
Sheehan has proposed an
expanded kindergarten program
which she believes will be a
wonderful addition to the exist-
ing halt-day classes. Sheehan
said research has shown having
full day kindergarten is a greal
benefit to children, as they are
belter prepared for the transition
for first grade, they score higher
on achievement tests, and teach-
ers have more time lo cover top-
ics in a meaningful way. She
said the option of enrolling a
child in half-day kindergarten at
no post will remain an option,
but by having the full day class-
es available, parents can choose
which program is best for iheir
child.
Walsh said Ihe kindergarten
program may be supported by
grants. For example, if the state
gave $15,000 for each of three
classrooms, Cohasset would he
given 545,000 plus the tuition
payments from 60 students at
SI.S(K) per pupil, for a total of
5108,000. Walsh said the pro-
gram could provide the net rev
enue necessary to offset the oper-
ational budget
Walsh said another area the
schools are looking at to save
money is ihe possibility of pro-
viding services in house ralher
ihan outsourcing. One of the
ideas which has been presented
is ihe implementation of an inte-
grated preschool program
Currently, the South Shore
Collaborative operates a tuition
based preschool out of the
OsgcxKl School, with a current
special education out of district
tuition of more than $15,000 for
each child. Under the existing
collaborative, there are 4 siu
denis projected for FYOfi. for a
total of $60,000. Walsh said she
believes ihe school departmeni
can save money by hosting ils
own in-house program, and hv
offering an integrated program.
Cohasset Students who require
addilional support will be able to
stay in the classroom wiih iheir
peers.
Curriculum Coordinator Ruth
Fennessey said with the lawn
running the preschool, education
programs would follow ihe same
curriculum frameworks as the
rest of the school, where current
ly, as a privately run preschool,
the same guidelines are not
required.
Beginning this spring, athletic
user fees w ill he raised from 575
per sport to SI 50 per sport. This
increase will scl an annual indi-
vidual cap of $400 and an annu-
al family cup of $600. By raising
the lees, it is anticipated roughly
$30,000 will be prov ided lor the
athletic program in FY05 and an
anticipated $60,ooo in FYQ6 to
offset Ihe total lenlalivelv bud
geted $292,000 for the PY06
athletic pmgram.
In addilion to athletics,
increased lees are lo be proposed
for FY06 for facility rental
WaKh suggested depositing the
funds collected into a revolving
account to offset ulility costs and
building maintenance.
As a last resort Walsh said cul-
ling programs and Staff have
been evaluated. She said the)
have reviewed Ihe most effective
and efficient ways to provide
support sen ices lor students, and
the departmeni is working its
way inward less "pull out" sup-
port. In other words. Students
w ill be laken nut of class to the
resource room less often, and co-
teaching in the classroom will
prov ide the necessary support for
students.
In light ol the changes. Walsh
said the number of resource
rooms has been reduced I mm
three to IWO at ihe middle school
In addilion. nine paraprolession-
al positions have been reduced
from the FY05 and FY06 bud-
gels, effective Jan 24, which will
save the department roughly
$90,000 in l YO and $180,000
lor 1-Y06.
Moving forward, Walsh also
said Ihe schools will he monitor-
ing and conserving utility use.
Hie department has entered a co-
op purchasing of natural gas
through the South Shore
Educational Collaborative. In
addilion. (here is a new facilities
manager on hoard, paid lor by
Ihe town to also monitor town
buildings, io help review ulility
usage
The school department is pre-
dicting .i possible shortfall of
roughly $500,000 lor ihe FY05
budget which includes $03,000
for under 'budgeted gas costs and
$67,000 for iincn iplovmenl costs.
The money to cover both costs is
in the reserve lund — Town
Meeting approved the iransfer to
allow the Adv isory Committee to
dispense the Kinds when needed.
In addilion. other areas which
were either not budgeted or
Under- budgeted include trans-
portation, deaning/custodial ser-
vices, lunion reimbursements for
professional staff. Special educa-
tion tuition, and legal lees Walsh
said hv Implementing these new
changes. :. jj hoped the school
departmeni will he able lo bring
the budget into balance.
However. Walsh said il is only
prudent tn expect ihe unexpected,
as the schools are only mid-way
thmugh the healing season, and
unexpected out of district special
education tuitions are possible at
any lime She said only two
weeks ago. a $90X100 oul of dis-
trict placement Came in which
was unbudgeied lor FY05. and il
is unknown how much aide the

High school post-prom party was too wild a night
FROM PROM. PAGE 1
been the tradition for the pad
eight years.
Bui the Committee as well as
school administrators said there
are mart] issues that will need to
be worked oui before (he) would
consider Opening up the dixm. of
the school for the event once
more. The) suggested the using
breathalyzes at the door and
requiring ehaperones and students
attending to sign .1 responsibiUry
contract.
For the past thtvc sears. School
Committee member Rick Flyiui
has chaperoned the post-prom
party, which is held from 1 1 p.m.
until 5 a 111. He slid last year in
particular, a group of students
made the night "a little cra/y" h\
getting drunk during the event.
Flynn said last year the seniors
found ways to sneak alcohol into
the school beforehand. During
the day, the school was kept open
to allow underclassmen to come
inside and vknt the decorations,
and during that time some of
those students apparent)) hid
alcohol in lockers and in the
plants In addition. "Some people
hail (alcohol) taped to then legs."
when the) came to the part).
Kl\ tin said.
But in addition to being disap-
pointed with the students. Fhnn
said he was disappointed in mam
patents who had the altitude it
was OK tor students to drink if
the> "on)) had a couple "" He said
-ome parents see drinking as a
"rite of passage." adding he
knows many parents turned a
blind eve to the situation when
the) knew some students were
drinking, and that is a huge liabil-
ity issue.
"By law. alcohol does not exist
on a school campus." said Flvnn.
and parent chapeiones need to be
held accountable for every stu-
dent w ho attends the party,
School Committee member
Adrienne MacCarthy also chaper-
oned last sear's post-prom parts
and said alter witnessing the
scene, she has been thinking long
and hard about svhat she would
say should the issue of basing
another party this year arise.
"From where I sit. I hold a zero
tolerance belief." she said, adding
while she hates to see (he alter-
prom p;irt> and its concept go
gway, she has been sers disap-
pointed with the outcome from
past years. "It was supposed to be
a zero tolerance event." she said,
adding there should be no wiggle
room. "The parents didn't take
the right approach in being
accountable."
High School Principal Jack
IX'I-oren/o said he 100 has been
sci > disappointed wnh parents in
the past, adding some have even
approached him to ask if thes
could borrow the couch from the
nurse's office for a "sober-up
room" at the party. In addition, he
said one parent, a former Schixil
"It was supposed to be a zero
tolerance event."
— Adrienne MacCarthy. School Committee
Committee member, tried 10
sober up a severely intoxicated
student — who was later taken to
the hospital — w ith collee during
the dance.
DeLoren/o said when the chap-
erones don't take their job seri-
ousls and incidents occur, they
have not been the ones held
accountable by other parents. He
said after last year's events, the
school ssas inundated ssitb calls,
and he said he is still receiving
calls about it to this day. He said
he received a sery lengthy e-mail
about the issue as recent as this
fall. In light of the reaction from
parents, and his own concern, he
said he is very wary of allowing
the event to take place at the
school again this year.
Durkin said she fulls under-
stands the concern, and said at the
hean of this year's request is the
safot) of the students. She said
this scar, rather than spending
S20.(i(X) to decorate, the commit-
tee has some fresh ideas to use
money raised 10 help keep stu-
dents entertained, thereby elimi-
nating the boredom that some-
times leads to mischief In addi-
tion, having lighter security, such
as a police detail, is another
option they are lixiking at to
ensure students have a fun night,
but everything remains under
control.
"We want to make ii a safe envi-
ronment We want to have a place
they can go after the prom and stay
until the morning." Durkin said,
adding the altitude of the past,
which has essentially been provid-
ing a place for the students to "do
what thes 're going to do." where
they can at least be nxinilored by
adults, will not he continued.
She said w hat she would like to
do is hase a meeting with some
representatives from the senior
class and see how many, if any.
would be willing to attend a com-
pletely dry posl-prom party, and
begin planning from there.
"We can present it to the kids,
and see if thes want to do it. If
not. we gasc it our best shot."
Durkin said.
Assistant Principal Michael Gill
said he appreciates the way the
group is going about planning the
party, and said spending less time
and money on decorations and
more time on security makes
sense to him. "I very much want
to see this keep going, but we do
base concerns." he said. Gill
added he and other school admin-
istrators would feel much more
comfortable if it was held some-
place else. However. Durkin said
she and the others who are
involved with the preliminary
stages of planning for the post-
prom party have lixiked at other
venues and nothing is available.
Flynn suggested instead of hav-
ing chapenmes, who are the par-
ents of students in other grades,
which has been done in the past,
perhaps having senior parents
chaperone would also help cut
down on some of the pmblems.
He said as a chapenme during
past years, without children in
that grade, he didn't know many
of the students he was watching.
"If the students can co-exist with
parents for a night." he said,
ss hether it be their own parents or
the parents of a friend whom thes
know well, he feels students will
be less likely to drink and get into
trouble.
Breathalyzers
In addition. Supt. Denise Walsh
said breathalyzers could be
implemented at the dixir and it
might make sense to implement a
search to ensure students are not
smuggling anything inside. Gill
said he has spoken with represen-
tatives from other schools which
implement breathaly/ers and of
the 10,000 tests administered thus
far, only one has yielded a posi-
tive. "What it tells us is that it's a
preventative measure." he said.
Gill added breathalyzer tests are
very accurate and can detect the
presence of alcohol even if a stu-
dent has had one drink.
Walsh also suggested parents
and students who would be
attending the party could be asked
to sign a contract which would
essentially say that by signing,
they understand the evening will
be drug and alcohol free, and the
parents would be held responsible
for all students attending.
MacCarthy said she thought it
was a great idea to ask parents to
sign, adding "They need to say
they'll be responsible. They're
looking after other people's kids,"
Walsh said she would like to see
class representatives contacted
and asked whether students
would be ssilling to live within
the niles. and if so. the school's
risk will be greatly reduced.
However, the number of students
willing to participate will ulti-
mately determine whether the
pans goes forward or not.
The School Committee said it
did not want to deny the use of
facilities request just yet. and it is
willing to discuss the issue at a
further meeting. It advised the
posl-prom planning committee to
do some of the leg work neces-
sary to determine whether the
event can be safe and secure, but
attractive enough that a large
amount of students w ill attend.

Reach 'MOU
on teen issues
By Samantha Brown
SAMBB0WNOCNC.COM
Student violence, alcohol and
drug abuse are a rising problem
across the nation, and Cohasset is
working hard to keep the number
of incidents in town as low as
possible. In an effort to ensure
the schools and police depart-
ment are on the same page when
it comes to dealing with teens, the
two hav? joined forces to draft a
Memorandum of Understanding,
which clearly outlines policies 10
follow and the roles of each,
• Police Chief James Hussey and
Superintendent of Schools
Denise Walsh, who both came on
board in Cohasset this summer,
began working on the
Memorandum very soon after
they accepted their positions in
town. Although there had been a
Memorandum between the
schools and police department in
the pas*. "It was more open-
ended than we wanted." said
Hussey. adding he and Walsh
agreed they had many experi-
ences from previous towns which
could be incorporated into the
new updated Memorandum for
Cohasset.
School administrators, teachers
and other staff members are
increasingly relied upon to recog-
nize and report inappropriate
behavior and incidents, and
knowing the correct authorities to
contact depending on the situa-
tion is a very important part of the
procedure. Through the
Memorandum, which is currently
a working draft and will need to
be reviewed by counsel, the two
departments agree:
• to establish an effective line
of communication between the
school and police department.
• to establish a clear procedure
regarding the reporting of hate
crimes, sex crimes, weapons and
the use. possession, and distribu-
tion of drugs and/or alcohol with-
in the schools, on school grounds,
and at school- sponsored events.
• to guide teachers and admin-
istrators in reporting what is a
serious criminal matter.
• to re-affirm with parents, stu-
dents and the public that violence
in schools will not be tolerated
and that culpable individuals will
be held responsible to the full
extent of the law.
• to coordinate efforts, when
appropriate, with the District
Attorney for Norfolk County and
the Department of Education.
Hussey said for minor incidents
at the school, the administration
will take its own proper action,
and the police department d<K"s
not need (o be notified.
However, under the
Memorandum. sch(x>ls are
required to inform the police
department of all "reportable
acts." which includes threats to

the biggest teen
issues Cohasset
faces is underage
drinking, which is
often brushed
aside as a "kids
will be kids" topic.
commit violent acts, verbal
and/or physical assaultive behav -
ior (intimidation, bullying,
threats, harassment, hate crimes,
sex crimes), possession of
weapons, property destruction, or
thefts. Once the police depart-
ment is notified, it becomes
responsible for handling the situ-
ation.
If the situation is reversed and
the police either arrest or take a
student into protective custody
over the weekend, the school
administration will be given an
update, to keep everyone abreast
Of student behavior. At the root
of the Memorandum is the idea
that school matters remain a
sch<x>l matters and police matters
are separate, but that both are
communicating regularly.
Hussey said he wanted to make it
clear the Memorandum does not
mean his department will begin
policing the schools.
One of the main goals ol the
initiative will also be keeping
the lines of communication
open with parents. Hussey said
one of the biggest teen issues
Cohasset faces is underage
drinking, which is often brushed
aside as a "kids will be kids"
topic. He said it is imperative
for everyone in the community,
not just the school and police
departments, to be on the same
page, and take a stand against it.
"It is against the law and it's not
OK." he said.
When dealing with underage
drinking. Hussey said he consid-
ers each on a case-by -case basis,
based on that person's history.
He said as a result, students who
arc caught and are lirst-time
offenders are not necessarily
automatically given a court dale,
but instead will be given the sup-
port of the department, which has
the resources and assistance the
student and his or her family
needs. He explained his philoso-
phy is prevention and interven-
tion first, with enforcement as the
last piece, and when carried out
properly, greatly increases the
rate of success.
However, when students are
caught drinking. the
Memorandum will require the
department contact the parents or
guardians of all Students present
u here drinking and/or drug use is
taking place, w hether the student
is participating or not. The
names of students present, how-
ever, will not be given to the

Handy (wo)man can help
FROM WIFEWORKS, PAGE 1
said she not only has the experi-
ence, but continues to learn new
ways to approach various pro-
jects.
Since her business began.
Foley said she has had many
different jobs, including orga-
nizing a playroom, pet-sitting,
and purchasing gifts. She even
visited someone's mother in the
nursing home while they were
on vacation. "If you were only
going to be gone for two days,
you might ask a friend, but not
for a week," she said, which is
what makes her service so nice.
Pink toolbox in hand, Foley
has a handy side as well, and
has been called upon to put
together shelving for closets.
She has hung shelves and hooks
on the walls. "I've always been
a putterer." she said, adding she
was always fixing things around
her own house and those are
skills she brings to the job.
Foley, who was an art major in
college, said one very interest-
ing job was hanging 40 pictures
in someone's home. "I hadn't
done anything like that before."
she said, but the client was very
happy with her work. She said
she was also able to tap into her
art training while painting a lit-
tle boy's bedroom,
"Lots of people need organiza-
tional help." she said, adding all
they need is a little guidance and
someone to get the project start-
ed as it can be overwhelming at
first. She said so far she has
organized a playroom, and even
painted a magnetic wall in a
home, which is fun for children
to make words on with a mag-
netic alphabet and can also be a
very helpful organizational tool.
During parties. Foley said
many people don't want to be
stuck in the kitchen, especially
if relatives are in from out of
town or out of state, and they
would rather visit than keep run-
ning back and forth to check on
appetizers. Foley said she has
been hired to serve as an extra
set of hands in the kitchen,
bringing out food when it is
ready so the hostess can really
entertain.
"I'm good at a lot
of things and I can
hit the ground
running."
— Mary Foley. WifeWorks
One of the most unusual
errands Foley has been hired to
do is pick up a bottle of wine.
She said a client was cooking
and needed wine for the recipe,
so she dashed out and picked
one up. then brought it over to
the house. "It's kind of all over
the place." she said of her job.
adding she's doing something
different all the time. But no
matter what, the experience is
always rewarding because she is
helping someone, she says.
Many of Foley's clients hear
about her services through
word-of-mouth. As the instruc-
tor of the gym-dandy preschool
gym class at the South Shore
Community Center. Foley says
she meets young mothers on a
regular basis who are looking
for an extra helping hand who
knows what they're doing.
Because she is known around
town, she said it gives people a
certain comfort level, when
inviting her into their homes.
Foley said business has been
picking up since it started and
she thinks it will continue to
thrive because of the busy pace
of life today. "People really
need it." she said.
Foley said her family, includ-
ing husband Bill and daughters
Cara, Tess. and Abby, have been
very supportive of the business,
and her girls even gave her a
monogrammed tote bag with
"Wife Works" scrolled along
the side for a Christmas gift.
Foley said with both Cara and
Tess away at college, having her
own business has been helpful
in turning her attention away
from missing them so much.
Currently. Foley is providing
the service on her own. but as
the business grows, she hopes to
be able to provide employment
opportunities for other women
like herself who might not want
to get back into the job force full
lime, but who are looking to
have a rewarding pan-lime job.
Wife Works offers gift certifi-
cates, which Foley says make a
great gift for many different
people, including: new parents
who want to spend time resting
and getting to know the new
baby, but need lo get some laun-
dry done: new homeowners
who want to enjoy their new
house, hut have a good deal of
unpacking lo do: seniors citi-
zens who may need help, but
might not want to ask for it; or
recovering patients. She said
Wife Works can even help fre-
quent travelers by stocking the
fridge on the day of expected
return.
Foley said she can't wait to
see what her business will bring
next but couldn't be happier
with the experience thus far.
"li s exactly what I thought it
would be." she said.

Works, including rales or a job

lay the pipe. Looking at the
house, the pipe will run from
the back left upstairs room,
through the ground down to
the first level, at the angle of
the ledge, and out on the side
of the front door, where it will
continue underground to the
street. Restoration architects
from Menders. Torrey. and
Spencer, based in Boston are
working on the project, as
well as employees of Cape
Cod Builders Mashpee.
Gruber said because the
building is of such historic
significance, every floorboard
has been given a number to
ensure when the project is
complete, "every board will
be pui back where it came
from." The boards from the
two rear upstairs rooms art-
being stored in the two
upstairs front rooms of the
house, and the first floor
boards are being stored in the
Maritime Museum next doCH
With the floorboards
removed, ledge is easily visi-
ble in the interior of the build-
ing.
"The top floor overhangs the
ledge." said Gruber, and wiih
the water damage, the sill
beams in both of the rear
upstairs rooms are rotting and
will need replacing. Gruber
said the beams in one real
room are hand hewn, but in
the other were obviously cut
mechanically, which indicates
one r<x>m was added to the
house more recently than the
other. During ihe renovation
process, other surprises have
been found, such as ihe elec-
trical wires, which were
wrapped in metal and badl>
rusting, and needed updating
from a safety standpoint
Electricity has been shut off in
Ihe building until the swan
can be updated.

Opinion
EDITORIAL
Is it worth it?
We really dislike the cliche ''sounding like a bitten record" hut
il really is apropos here
in ibis column, we've preached again and again about the dan-
gers of underage drinking which appear lo he of epidemic propor-
tions here in Cohassa.
Over (he years, we've covered Halloween melees on the town
common, mass arrests at unsupervised house parties, and the
breaking in and trashing of a private home, id name a few. These
incidents all involved teenagers and alcohol.
CohttSSet isn't alone. Kids and alcohol is a national prohlem and
oui children are part of a mutti-billion dollar culture that promotes
drinking as cool tor the young,
In fact younger children can often remember more about the beer
ad> ertisements during the Super Bow I than what happened during
the game itsell.
In a neighboring town in iust the past 12 month-., we've had to
rover two fatal accidents involving youths and alcohol. Talking to
friend* and family about this type of tragedy is one of the most dif-
ficult pans of a reporter's job.
Years hack m Norwell, we had to cover a fatal crash ordj to leant
the teen's parents rather than take the keys away after an earlier
alaiftol-related accident, had purchased their son a new ear.
We applaud the School Committee and School Administration
t, ,r sending up a red Hag about the upcoming post-prom part) this
sear. These annua! e\ cuts, w Inch rather than "keep kids safe." have
apparently turned into an environment m which drinking is con-
doned by some parents. Last year's party was rumored to include
a "sober-up" room-
We are also pleased the Police Chief and Superintendent of
Schools are drafting a Memorandum of Agreement which will
help both the police department and school system deal with teen
issues and illegal activity.
I liis is serious business. We are often amazed, though, at how
man) parents think "kids w ill he kids" and there is little one can do
about teens and alcohol abuse.
W hile teens and driving never mix. alcohol can he a killer even
when no cur is involved. A family from Rhode Island used to
sponsor a travelling play about their son. who became drunk at an
underage party and choked lo death on his own vomit. A young
recovering alcoholic would play the role of Eddie while students ,u
the high school where the play was being produced would play the
oiher pans. A frank discussion with the student audience followed.
We understand the Social Host Law in Pennsylvania is hased on
a case in which an inebriated young man wandered into the street
and was hit by a car.
We once covered the siory of a young man who had loo much to
dunk and put the heer glass in his pocket. He tell while walking
home: the glass hroke. cut an artery and he hied lo death.
[Tie following facts about drinking may he useful to teenagers
and their parents. They come lo us courtesy of the Hingham
DARE program:
YOU may he arrested if you are under 21 and:
• Drinking an alcoholic beverage
• Carrying an alcoholic beverage
• Transporting alcohol in a vehicle
• Present ul a house party when not accompanied by a parent,
legal guardian or adults 21 or older
• A breath lest or blood alcohol level of 02-SU w ill result in loss
of license for ISO days 16 months i
• In possession ol a fake I D.
A guilty conviction could he punishable by:
• loss nf license lor '#) days
• $58 to $300 One
• \ criminal record
• Increase in auto insurance premiums
W hat happens when an underage person holds a house party and
alcohol and other drugs are present?
• All people under 21 can be arrested
• Host can be charged also with disturbing the peace
• Parents of the host can also be charged with disturbing the
peace
• Parents ol the host can be sued if a person gels sick, hurt or gels
injured after leaving the party, even if the parents were not aware
of the party.
A. person 21 or older who provides alcohol for minors is subject
to criminal and civ il liahilities.
• Providing alcohol lo a child under 21 may he punished by
imprisonment lor six months and lines ol S2.IXX).
Reading all this, parents and their teenage children need to ask
themselves the question: Is underage drinking worth it?

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Beholden to power groups
Ti > THh Editor:
It is disturbing to read thai only one new
person has taken out papers lor elective
office in Cohassel this year (Thai was for a
seal which would become vacant.)
Wis seem to he beholden to power groups
thai seleel candidates lor office and not be
citizens who create his/her small election
committees, present ideas and background
for the oHlee.
This especially seems to be the prohlem
with School Committee and Selectman
offices, Ai least ihe School Committee
incumbents declared they would nol run.
although it was sad that Chartis resigned. The
Selectman incumbents have not said any-
thing and are probably wondering it the so-
called "power" on the board would shift if
they did not run or are looking for a candidate
lo their liking.
There is a golden opportunity — even
exciting.
The .Selectmen will have a new Town
Manager who is terrific. I knew him from the
past, excellently qualified and very compe-
tent. We also have a new Police Chief who
has helped us immeasurably. Isn't it a good
time to be a Selectman and guide the town
over rough tax waters.' I thank Michael
Buckley and Joe DeVito for their steady help
in troubled times.
As to the School Committee, the job has
changed due to the Education Reform Act.
The budget process is still their responsibili-
ty. If the members relumed 10 a /ero-hased
budget and work with the excellent new
superintendent problems are bound to ease. It
is rewarding to help in the education of our
children, the future of the country.
Candidates have to be their own persons
and nol kowtow lo a special group.
Remember when you are elected you serve
ihe whole town, not yourself or your backers.

What the public doesn't see
TO THE EDODR:
I happened to be in the Cbhasset Police
Station Garage on Wednesday. Jan. 1 2. There
I saw a young, dedicated Cohassel Police
Officer correctly installing an infant's Safety
car seal in a young mother's SUV.
She had this beautiful child in arms. She
was getting caring instructional as to how to
use the hells etc,
II was a "beautiful picture."

Civility abandoned
TOTHB Editor:
It's all too easy, for those who haven't
themselves had to put up with the current
viciousness. to counter the resignation of
Chartis Tebhetls by sneering lhal elected offi-
cials should expect criticism and serve out
their terms. Bui Ihe discourse has descended
lo a low level, prompted by. but nol excused
by. Ihe series of overrides. One would think
that town officials, and panicularly ihe
school committee, were guilty of criminal
negligence, to hear the bitter remarks of some
residenis thai had seemed kindly, mature and
understanding, and nol small-minded. Ill's no
surprise lo hear nonsense from people one
seldom thinks of in such benevolent terms,
they are conspicuously Vocal at town meet-
togs).
The recall article was soundly defeated, not
because il is such a bad idea, hul in pan
HEALTH NOTES
because the remarks of some proponents cre-
ated an impression of destructive rather ihan
constructive intent. The proposed amend-
ment that the entire school committee resign
was breathtaking!) irresponsible, and didn't
help the recall proposal, but il wasn't so far
removed from ihe empty -headed comments
thai have become commonplace. Of course.
Ihe principal argument lor recall (protecting
us in the event that we elect a crook l seemed
more ludicrous than vicious. People who
have enjoyed living in a town with a civilized
atmosphere aren't well disposed toward
opportunistic fostering oi even more disarray,
even though the good and thoughtful people
neglect lo speak oul lor lolerance and under-
standing of the difficulties that beset the offi-
cials struggling hi cope with today 's environ-
ment.
The most recent selectmen's race was note-
worthy for unprecedented disrespect lor the
town's officials, for Ihe management of town
affairs, and for just about everything else
about the town. The extremism would have
been more tolerable if il had not been accom-
panied by souffle-like 'solutions." Let us
hope the nexi electoral race w ill display more
maturity.
Chartis Tebhetls has a long record of
unpaid bul valuable sen ice to the town, but
she is but one of the many to w hom we owe
gratitude for the quality of our local institu-
tions, and for the civility lhal has distin-
guished the conduct of our business.
Let us call a hall to the erosion of that Civil-
ity.

Clarifying plans for Beechwood ballpark
By Steve Bobo
SPECIAL TO THE MARINER
Recently, there have been several
plume calls to the Board of Health
claiming thai we want to use the
Beechwood ballpark as a site for a
sewer plant.
This misconception came from a
letter we sent to the Selectmen sug-
gesting lhal the future renovations
for the Beechwood ballpark consid-
er its ase as a source for groundwa-
ter the discharge ol effluent fmm
any planned sewer plant which
may. in the future he built to service
homes in Beechwood The Board
envisioned lhal the DPW. or whtv
ever was planning the work for the
new field consider its possible use
for gn mndw an discharge putpi nes
as a part of ils planning process.
This would lead lo discussions
between the Board of Health, the
We never wanted to put a wastewater
treatment plant on the ballpark. We do want
a way people can dispose of wastewater to
eliminate nutrients from the water that runs
off into Lily Pond, Bound Brook, Pegrams
Brook and the reservoir.
Sewer Commission, ihe DPW and
the Water IX'partmcnl regarding Ihe
design of Ihe renovalion of Ihe fiekl
since all ol these organizations and
possibly others have responsibili-
ties relating to the use of the field
The primary objective of this letter
was lo try lo ensure that the field
renovations result in a long lasting,
easily maintained ballpark which
will give ihe most benefit 10 the
users in Beechwood.
It's no secret that the Board of
Health believes that in addition to
being responsible for Ihe disposal of
w anew ater, we w ish to promote the
most environmentally friendly use
of our land and open space.
Recently, there has been a change in
turl management practices which
have had a strong effect on large
open spaces devoted to lawns and
open spaces. This has affected the
way golf courses, ballparks, ami
other large areas of greensward arc
planned and maintained.
In many towns, there is a lack of
fresh water for sprinkling and irri-
gation, and turf management is par-
ticularly difficult where open green
areas like tlx* common need to be
w atered. Cohassel w ater consump-
tion is not a problem. ihiinks to
those who plan .uid maintain our
pond fed water supply But contam-
inants from UK) much fertilizer are a
real pmhlem for almost every rxxiy
of water in Tow n either salt or fresh.

The case to continue Greenbush opposition
GREENBUSH VIEW
Martha a. r. Bkwkk
Advocates for Transportation Alternatives (AfTA)
filed suit in Federal District Court in Washington,
D C. last week, laying out the chronicle of negative
impacts the Greenbush diesel rail project will have
on our towns, and challenging the Army Corps of
Engineers' "Finding of No Significant Impact"
(FONSI) for Greenbush.
AfTA's complaint calls for the Army Corps to go
back to the drawing board, and to undertake a full
federal Environmental Impact Report, the same fed-
eral scrutiny given to the Old Colony Plymouth and
Middleborough lines — lines where there were far
fewer adverse impacts.
We still believe what we have been saying and
writing for years: "Greenbush is the most fiscally
irresponsible, environmentally damaging, and
destructive transit alternative of any to have been
suggested for the South Shore." Giving up now
means that we accept the long-term damage that
diesel rail construction and operations will bring to
our towns over the next 25 years.
There is still $310 million remaining unspent in
the MBTA FY05-FYI0 budget for Greenbush.
accordi'-d to the MBTA's Capital Investment
Budget. Spending it on Greenbush would compound
a fiscal and cm ironmental lolly. These funds can be
far better allocated to the urban transit projects in
Somerville, Lynn and Dorchester, lor which there is
intense demand. Used to match federal funds, for-
mer Greenbush state-funded dollars will be able to
stretch much further.
During the historic review process by the Corps,
with the Massachusetts Historic Commission, and
the National Trust for Historic Preservation, the
MBTA was finally forced to lay out the extent of the
adverse impacts of Greenbush on 2.7H0 homes in the
35 historic districts in the live towns along the track
right-of-way . The original T draft had identified only
three of these historic properties. The Corps, the
National Trust, and the Historic Commission even
went so far to say in then findings, that the operation
of the diesel trains in the historic neighborhoods
"w ill have a per se' adverse impact on the entire dis-
trict, without regard to any of the direct noise, vibra-
tion, visual, or traffic impacts."
There is still $310 million

The FONSI is mosUy cut and pasted MBTA doc-
uments, with inserts of words and occasional new
sentences here are there. It includes the same erro-
neous data, erroneous assumptions, inflated argu-
ments we've heard and challenged for yean.
Within the FONSI. there are undeniable chronicles
of permanent negative harm to our towns. Here are
some of them. The Corps FONSI acknowledges
construction impacts, and suggests thai "permanent
project impacts" w ill be of greater significance than
what has already been experienced: "These negative
effects (of construction) can be substantially reduced
through certain construction methods and proce-
dures, and as a result, these impacts are of much
lower significance than other, permanent project
impacts." We should not have to live with (and pay
for!) the consequences of the MBTA's ill-advised
choice of design/build for this highly complex and
controversial diesel rail project.
The Corps FONSI clearly outlines negative
impacts facing the 2.780 historic homes in the 35
historic districts in our towns: 'The project will cre-
ate noise, vibration, and visual impacts that will
adversely affect individual properties and National
Register listed or eligible districts in the towns of
Braintree, Weymouth, Hingham. Cohasset and
Scituate. The integrity of the properties' setting and
feeling through the introduction of visible, audible,
and atmospheric elements that are out of character
with the properties will be altered: thereby diminish-
ing the integrity of these properties. Effects in all the
towns will be caused by vibration, noise, access and
visual factors associated with stations, crossings, and
roadway improvements " (FONSI. pp. 44-45)
Contrary to those who argue for Greenbush as an
economic development stimulus, the FONSI says:
"Empirical evidence from previous commuter rail
investments demonstrates that there will be no sig-
nificant development impacts, measured in terms of
new housing units or additional commercial devel-
opment that is casually related to the proposed pro
jeet."
Missing from the FONSI is what the
Environmental Protection Agency, a fellow federal
agency, said five years ago. in I °99: "given the i >\ er-
all increases of smog-forming nitrogen oxide emis-
sions resulting from the diesel-fueled trains, we can
no longer view this project as an unqualified air
quality improvement project. " The FPA recognized
the impacts of Greenbush on the local communities
and advised that a federal FEIR be undertaken.
Also missing from the FONSI are recent com
ments by the Massachusetts Division
Environmental Protection. MDEP says in its 401
Water Quality Variance on Greenbush that
Greenbush itself may not meet the state's NOx
(nitrogen oxide) goals, and that the MBTA may need
oilier projects to prov ide "emissions offsets." This is.
at long last, a state acknowledgement of the negative
air emissions effects of Greenbush
Admissions about air quality deterioration, nega-
tive construction and operations impacts on historic
districts, permanent negative effects on wetlands,
water supply, endangered species and habitats, traf-
fic and congestion, and so many other non-FONSI
issues, such MBTA finances anil service cutbacks,
compelled AfTA President John Bewick to say:
"Giving up now is like the Red Sox giving up alter
the third game in the playoff s against the Yankees ''
We firmly believe those in Washington who can
take the broader hard look at this project will draw
the same conclusion again, that Greenbush requires
a full federal FEIR.
Failure to take this action will guarantee that
Greenbush will be built. Support lor AfTA's chal-
lenge will give us all a chance that Greenbush will
not he built This is a winnable battle Greenbush, in
spite of pronouncements from on high and construc-
tion below, is not a done deal. For many of us. that is
a chance worth taking and supporting financially.

Whenever I mention to someone that I work as the
Managing Director of a professional symphony orches-
tra, nine limes out of 10 they say. "Oh' That must be
wonderful! of course, I don't know anything about

difference between Bach and Beethoven, and who
might even have a favorite composer. People always
assume thai everyone else at the concert "know s" more
than they do about instruments and orchestras and Ihe
music that they perform.
My experience over the lasi seven years has poked
holes in this preconception. While we are pleased to
count a core of sophisticated listeners as regular audi-
ence members, in fact, the audience for classical music
is changing rapidly. We at Ihe Hingham Symphony
Orchestra are happy to facilitate thai change. Consider
this:
I've learned that w ilh the rare exception, most classi-
cal COncert-goers consider themselves only somewhat
knowledgeable about the music ihey are hearing, and
casual listeners, rather than critical listeners, dominate
the audience base.
These days, the audience is as likely to contain aging
baby boomers who grew up on rock and rod (the orig-
inals, rax as classic hits). Many classical concert-goers
just know that they love music. They find that sitting in
an intimate concert hall, listening lo outstanding pro-
fessional musicians perform music wilh passion and
skill, lets them give in and let go. It takes them out of
the day-to-day. and connec ts them to something bigger
and deeper. At an HSO concert, the venues are small.
Every seat is a gixxJ seat: you can watch each musician
as they play What you hear. You don't need lo "know."

Having fun
at Harvard
HENSHAW
Tom Htssitw
The last time I was directly involved
with Harvard I'niversiiy il involved a pub
called Cronin's and a passel of students
who were housemates of. or otherwise
acquainted with, a fellow student known
as the Agha Khan
I was doing a slot) on him al the time
and the kids seemed to be having tun as
they told me Agha anecdotes, possibly
because I was buying the drall beer on
expense account and everyone knows
booze mounts more swiltlv 10 one's head
when it's free
I recalled that day in Cronin's and the
fun my student companions were enjoying
the other day when I learned that Harvard
had hired a fun-loving 2004 graduate to
teach ihe underclassmen and women he-
ld! behind how to have fun.
Zac Corker. 23. who apparently trained
for ihe job at a party last November in
Allston that attracted the attention and
presence of Boston police, will be charged
with developing programs that will help
nerds to enter the Harvard social whirl In
other words, he'll he "a fun czar."
Gdotl, Maybe now Playboy will he
removed Irom Us plain brown wrapper and
take its place proudly alongside the New
England Medical Journal on the magazine
rack al the Widener Library
Zac also has a web site, www hahvadpar
tics. com. which he started up to protect
students' right to party and contains such
useful party tips as how to tap a keg and
how to unhook a bra. presumably with one
hand while the other holds a flagon of
lager.
How times have changed! When I was
young and ice covered most of the campus
even Ihe greenest Ireshnian knew how to
lap a keg belore he donned his first beanie
and bras didn't need lo he unhooked
because they probably had already been
burned.
The signing of Zac Corker 10 a nine
month deal must mean that Harvard is tak-
ing at least tentative steps to restore some
of the glory that has been slipping away
from the "little prep school across the
river." as it used to be called at BU.
Just think. Harvard, which used to school
presidents, hasn't had one in nearly 50
years, while the last three got their degrees
from Yale and the one before thai went to
a college called Eureka. My friends tell me
one can have fun at Yale but I don't
known about Eureka.
The Fight Fiercclies once had a football
team that competed annually lor the
national championship. Of course, the only
other learns were at Yale and Princeton.
But once it becomes known that it's possi-
ble to have fun al Harvard, can 300-pound
tackles and 4 5 running backs be far
behind'.'
Who knows ' Maybe under ihe tutelage
of Professor Zac Corker. Harvard will dis-
place Florida Slate as best party college
and the man from Playboy will come
around to snap the women of the Ivy
League.

Reflectors show hydrant
locations during nighttime
By Samantha Brown
SAMBR0WNWCNC.COM
Driving at night in Cohassei
has become a colorful experi-
ence, as small blue reflectors
have started popping up all over
the main streets. While they
might add a decorative touch to
an otherwise bland sireetscape.
the reflectors are actually there to
help members of (he fire depart-
ment better locate hydrants at
night.
Glenn Pratt. Vice Chairman of
the Cohassei Water Department,
said his department has installed
roughly 200 blue reflectors in the
streets, as part of an initiative his
department has begun to better
help the fire department with
hydrant location He said Ihe
blue reflectors in Cohassei streets
are the same as the orange reflec-
tors often seen on state and fed-
eral interstate highways.
There are 420 hydrants in
town, and the first phase of the
Water Department project will be
to mark the main traffic roads,
w hich are defined as those paint-
ed with a yellow center line.
Pratt said all ongoing Water
Department projects moving for-
ward will also include installa-
tion of the reflectors, and it is
expected all Department of
Public Works repaying projects
will include installation of reflec-
tors as well.
In addition. Pratt said the Water
Department will be continuing
its aggressive distribution system
upgrades over the next six years,
and all those projects will include
reflector installations. "In the
STAFF PHOTO/ROBIN CHAN
Blue reflectors, like the one on Pond Street by the middle-high
school, are being installed around town to help firelighters find
the hydrants.
spring, we plan to add additional
reflectors on the smaller less
traveled roads." he said.
Pratt said over the past few
ye;trs. the Water Department has
been working in many ways to
assist Ihe fire department in
quick, efficient hydrant location
at night. Last year, the Water
Department purchased a laptop
computer programmed with a
GIS map. which it gave to the
lire department. The computer
can be operated from any truck,
and can map the location of all
fire hydrants within 600 feet of
an incident address. In addition.
"We have recently completed the
repainting of our hydrants so
they each have a reflective white
top. for quicker locating at
night," he said.
In addition, some hydrants are
currently outfitted with "flags"
which belp the fire department
locate them in heavy snow. Pratt
said it is expected the reflectors
will one day replace all the snow
flags.
The Water IX-panment expects
to spend roughly S4.500 on
reflector installation during this
phase of ihe project, which
includes all main roads, which
will be roughly 150 units when
done. The remaining reflectors
will be installed during the sum-
mer, which will most likely cost
another $3,500.

Health Board chairman unhappy with engineering firm
Wants service
put out to bid
By Samantha Brown
SAMBR0WNOCNC.COM
Health Board Chairman Steve
Bono is calling for an investiga-
tion and possibly an audit of the
practices of the Sewer
Commission's engineering con-
sultants — Tutela Engineering
Associates. Inc.
Bono believes Tutela. which
was hired to give its profession-
al opinion on Cohasset's waste-
water situation and compile
information to submit to the
state, has purposefully withheld
information from the state
which was provided by the
Board of Health to ensure sew-
ers are judged as the only option
to release the town from the
Second Amended Final
Judgment. The Judgment is a
state order which has required
the town to clean up pollution in
the Little Harbor area. Tutela
would likely be hired to com-
plete the Little Harbor sewer
project, and therefore Bobo
believes the company has aug-
mented "the scope Of the sewer
in Cohasset at the town's
expense." for its own personal
gain.
However, in a telephone inter-
view Thursday, Daniel
Coughlin. Senior Project
Manager for Tutela. said his
company compiled an elaborate
submission for the town, and the
information was presented at a
meeting Born, attended before it
was submitted to the state in
October.
"It was very comprehensive
and demonstrated the town's
stance." he said, adding the
town had plenty of lime to
review the information and
make comments or suggestions
"I didn't see many holes in il."
said Coughlin. but added if there
was an> more information the
town wanted, he would ha\e
welcomed its inclusion.
However, he said from the lime
the information was submitted
until this week, it has been sil-
ling in boxes in ihe Selectmen's
office.
Coughlin also said he doesn't
think there is any value lo
Bono's comment that Tutela is
augmenting the scope of Ihe
project, adding the Sewer
Commission directs all the work
the company does. "We don'l
set policy." lie said, adding there
is often disagreement between
the board and the company on
the direction the town should
take for various projects. In
addition, he said there is no
guarantee Tutela will be chosen
to engineer the Little Harbor
sewer project .
Voters at the December
Special Town Meeting approved
adding a sewering schedule to
the Judgment, which when
incorporated is believed lo for-
malize the town's commitment
to the project. According to
Town Counsel Paul DeRensis.
the Judgment was handed down
by the state as a means of imple-
menting the Clean Waters Act.
In I979. a complaint was tiled
alleging violation of the Act.
and the town reached an agree-
ment with the slate to supply
modem wastewater treatment
As part of the settlement, the
town consented to enter the
Judgment. Since then Ihe lown
has been working on a plan lo
clean up the waters in the Little
Harbor/Atlantic Avenue area of
town.
Residents in the Liltle Harbor
area have been waiting for
sewer to be extended lo their
neighborhoods for years, in the
hopes of evading mandatory
inspections and upgrades of on-
site systems With a set plan and
sewer connections on the way.
homeowners in Ihe area would
be given amnesty from upgrad-
ing sewer systems, regardless of
whether they intend to sell.
Members of the Board of
Health. Sewer Commission, and
Board of Selectmen were slated
lo attend a meeting in Boston
with the DEP today (Jan. 21) to
discuss incorporating a sewer-
ing schedule into the Judgment.
At Ihe Thursday. Jan. 1.1 strat-
egy session for thai meeting.
Bobo recalled Coughlin claimed
Ihe town has not met Ihe
requirements of the Judgment
However. Bobo said not only
does Town Counsel Paul
DeRensis believe the town is in
compliance because it has a
Wastewater Management Plan
which was accepted bj the state,
but this summer. Madelyn
Morris of ihe DEP slated in a
letter to the town thai at that
point, it had met 95 percent of
the Judgment's requirements.
However. Coughlin said in his
opinion, whether the town has
met the requirements of the
Judgment is "something for
Town Counsel to deal with."
Bobo said he believes Tutela
has a pattern of consistently tak-
Bobo said Little Harbor is no worse off in
terms of pollution that it was 15 years ago.
ing advantage of the town, and
the problem continues to get
worse as the contract it holds is
never pui out to bid.
Selectman Fred Koed said it is
his understanding that engineer-
ing work is exempt from being
required to go out lo bid.
However, Selectman Rob
Spofford said under prudent
business practices, the contract
should be put out to bid every
few years. He added in light of
Bubo's comments, the town
needs make sure it feels confi-
dent coming before the stale
with reports Tutela compiled,
and if il doesn't, a third party
independent engineer needs lo
be brought in immediately lo
review what has been submit-
ted.
However. Selectman Ralph
Dormitzer said he would be
vet) careful about making alle-
gations because it is not in the
town's best interest to come
before Ihe stale without being
united. He also said because the
town just voted to incorporate
the sewer schedule into the
Judgment, he doesn't see the
need in pursue questioning
whether incorporating it into the
Judgment is the best option for
the lown. "Why do we continue
to struggle wiih this? I don't
understand." he said.
Spofford said he doesn't
understand why anyone would
welcome litigation from ihe
slate, and incorporating a sched-
ule which the town will have to
abide by. regardless of whether
il has the money to complete ihe
project or not, could put the
town at risk to lace lines which
could be as much as $10,000 per
day. In addition, ihe lown has
no monetary figures for how
much sewering thai area of town
will cost, and people are -till
willing to blinuly support il. he
said.
Selectman Ronnie McMorris
reminded the board thai as pan
of the Judgment the town has
already completed sewering
projects in the town's North
Cohasset sewer district. 'That
project was two years behind
and we had lo ask, 'Please don'l
line us.' Do we always want to
put ourselves in that kind of
jeopardy?" she said. In addi-
tion. McMorris said in Town
Counsel's opinion, ihe article to
incorporate the schedule was
illegal, and the vote taken was
only to get a sense ol the meet-
ing.
Bobo said comments made on
the floor of Town Meeting,
which staled the town's fecal
coliform levels were much too
high is not true. He said Liltle
Harbor is no worse off in terms
of pollution that il was I s years
ago. "We are one of Ihe few
towns in the Commonwealth
wiih a slormwaler plan." he
said, and sewering may not be
the only alternative for Little
Harbor.
Spofford requested the hoard
enter into executive session al
Ihe end of the regularly sched-
uled meeting to discuss strategy
for the meeting further. He said
as a result of a u unnienl made al
the Jan. I.' meeting, he had con-
ducted some research and had
information he wanted to share
with Ihe group which could
affect the outcome of the Jan. 2 1
meeting.
Billing
In addition lo withholding
information, Bono believes
Tutela has "consistently taken
advantage of Ihe town by sub-
mitting invoices for unnecessary
make-work and expensive
report preparations well as
superficial oversight, resulting
in high costs and excessive
billings for services. In addi-
tion. I have been informed that
because of no-bid contrai l prac-
tices proposed by Tutela and
unknowingly sanctioned by the
Sewer Commission, competi-
tive bidding for sewer work has
not regularly been used. " he
said.
According to town records,
between FY95 and FY04.
Tutela was paid 18391,032 by
the town. Boards which used
Ihe services of the company
included the Sewer
Commission. Water
Commission, and Board of
Selectmen While Ihe Sewei and
Water Commissions have uti-
lized the company's expertise
every year, selectmen did no)
use its services in fiscal years
1995, 1996. 2002. 2O03sn

During those years ihe town
installed ihe North Cohasset
sewers and expanded the
Central District, including
upgrading the treatment plant
The Water Department also
replaced aging water mains 10

Of those 10 fiscal years, the
Sewer Commission paid

while the Waier Commission
paid S2.944.55s and the Board
of Selectmen paid S22 1.275
The Sewer Commission's high-
est expenditure was SI. 137,891
in FY00. In FY04. ihe Sewei

Water Commission compiles list of water niters
The Water Commission has
compiled a list of home water til-
lers certified to remove Total
Trihalomethanes (TTHMs) from
tap water
"We have listed many makes
and models of home water filters
which are certified by NSF
International to remove
Trihalomethanes.'" said Water
Commissioner Nathaniel Palmer
"This list is available at
http://www.cohassetwater.org or
can he picked-up in hard copy at
the Lily Pond Water Treatment
Plant. 339 King Street."
"We have also arranged with
Cohasset Hardware to sell water
niters certified to remove
TTHMs." said Palmer. "Contact
Cohasset Hardware directly for
more information or to purchase
a water filter."
"We urge consumers, before
"We have also arranged with Cohasset

they purchase a home water fil-
ter, to verify that the filter is cer-
tified to remove TTHMs." said
John McNabb. Chairman of the
Water Commission. "We would
also like to assure Cohasset res-
idents that we are working hard
to reduce TTHM levels to com-
ply with state regulations as
soon as possible."
The Water Commission also
suggested that before purchas-
ing a water filter, a consumer
should check the NSF web page
www.nsf.org/Certified/DWTU
to see if the filter is verified to
remove TTHMs.
NSF International (The Public
Health and Safety Company) is
a not-for-profit, non-govern-
mental organization, focused on
standards development, product
certification, education, and
risk-management for public
health and safety. NSF has
developed a comprehensive set
of standards and evaluation cri-
teria for assessing the ability
water filters to sufficiently
remove contaminants, including
TTHMs.

won't give up to fjgji| to save
their church. Si. Frances Xavier
Csbrini — one of 80 parishes
closed in recent months as pan of
a reconfiguration plan In the
Boston Archdiocese.
"I did enjoy the Mass."
Dorothy Creut/ emphatically
said on her way out of the ser-
\ ice. "But now I'm going hack to
m) own church."
But -Scituate residents —
Christine Kane, accompanied hy
her son. Kevin. 9. and her moth-
er. I'.itli Lit/ — stayed to have a
Word with O'Malley at the infor-
mal reception follow ing the ser-
vice at St. Anthony's Parish Hall.
"While we have been feeling
very welcome at St. Anthony's."
Kane said, "we want to ask the
Archbishop to reconsider and
keep us open.
\s our leader, it is important
that he hears what we have to
say."
Barbara Nappa is also helping
to maintain a 24-hour vigil at St.
trances. She and the other
Scituate parishioners wore pins
featuring either a picture of the
St. Frances Church building or a
dove that arrived at the church
before it closed and has become a
sign to the parishioners that the
church is meant to stay open,
"The Archbishop's homily was
beautiful," Nappa said. "It is
wonderful to welcome us to St.
Anthony's but this is not our
church. I want to invite him to
visit St. Frances and it is worth a
try."
While O'Malley was very
approachable to the many wail-
r
ing in line at the reception, he
didn't appear to he willing to
budge off of his decision to close
St. Frances.
"It is good to be here."
O'Malley said. "We know tran-
sition is difficult but are happy
so many have begun to find
their spiritual home here."
In a letter to sent to Si. Frances
last spring explaining the
church closings. O'Malley cited
population changes, movement
of people from the cities to the
suburbs, the shortage of priests
and decrease in the number of
active Catholics as factors con-
tributing to the decision to close
parishes. He stated one-third of
the archdiocese's parishes are
operating in the red and said the
reconfigurations are not a result
of a need to pay legal settle-
ments stemming from the clergy
abuse scandal. He said funds
gained by parish closings will
he used to help support those
parishes and schools remaining
open.
With 1.000 families and an
average of 804 parishioners
attending weekend Masses at St.
Frances, the archdiocese felt St.
Mary the Nativity Church in
Scituate Harbor and Cohasset 's
St. Anthony's could absorb the
St. Frances parishioners.
On Sunday O'Malley noted St.
Anthony 's was large enough to
accommodate the extra parish-
ioners. He described Cohasset as
a lovely, beautiful tow n.
The Rev. Matthew Bradley of
the Foyer of Charity, a retreat
center on Hollelt Street in
Scituate. said he was glad
O'Malley came to Cohasset and
that the parishioners were clearly
delighted to see the Archbishop.
"But I hope his contacts with
St. Frances Parish give him a
more complete perspective on
what is at play there in dispersing
the community," he said.
The Rev. John MuKehill. St.
Anthony's pastor, said due to the
Martin Luther King Jr. Day holi-
day weekend, a lot of the regular
parishioners were away skiing.
He said the church has a capacity
of 750 Before Christmas rough-
ly 600 more people attended
liturgies than is past years He
said St. Anthony 's can accommo-
date the extra people and has not
had 10 add masses
In an interview Tuesday.
MuKehill said the Archbishop
made a wonderful homily and
noted he thanked St Anthony 's
for welcoming those from St.
Frances to the parish
"I'm sure he feels the pain ol
the people who have been dis-
placed everywhere he goes."
MuKehill said.
Not ali those from Scituate
were upset, however. Faith
Bowker Maloney. who grew up
in North Scituate, said St.
Anthony's was her parish before
St. Frances was built some 40
years ago. "It's my natural
home." she said.
Cohasset resident Angie Kelley
gave O'Malley 's visit a positive
review.
"He was great, very humble."
Kelley said about the Mass. "I
could understand every word ;ind
his message was great."
O'Malley is the ninth
Archbishop of Boston succeed-
ing Bernard Cardinal Law in Julv
2003.

seed in his class and performed
like it. as the competition did not
come close in any match.
According to Cohasset head
coach Torin Sweeney. Dinsmore
beat Duxbury's Eric Sheridan
"pretty convincingly" in the
final.
The score would seem to back
up those words, as Dinsmore

remarkable
performance leads
Skippers to
victory
By Evan Deutsch
CORRESPONDENT
As we braced ourselves this
week against the January
freeze, the Lady Skippers
turned up Ihe heal on one of
their top competitors, the
Rough Riders of Harwich, last
Friday.
Sullivan Gymnasium provid-
ed the backdrop last Friday lor
an impressive 51-42 Cohasset
victory.
Cohasset needed the "W" in a
big way . They walked onto the
llcxir having iost their four pre-
vious games.
This game proved very differ-
ent. Their offense was hotter
than a bowling alley on a nickel
night, and Cohasset controlled
the game from start to finish.
The magic started w ith Senior
co-captain Casey Anderson
sinking a season-high 37 points.
Her intensity and focus electri-
fied her teammates. The for-
ward also finished with an
incredible 21 rebounds.
Every Skipper contributed to
the victory Point guard Chelsea
Grossman put on a nice show
for the fans by organizing some
excellent offensive plays.
"We just clicked as a team."
Anderson said afterw ards. '"Our
shots rolled in. We played with
intensity and we communicated
well on defense. We couldn't
have asked for a better game."
And on defense? Lei's jusl
say it was the usual. . . and that's
a good thing.
They knocked the Rough
Riders right off of their offen-
sive saddles. Names like Nicole
Whitney surfaced when "defen-
sive effort" was mentioned. The
whole team played a role, how -
ever, in shutting down the
Rough Rider's deadly outside
shooter. Katie Gonzalez.
In his interview with The
Mariner, Cohasset head coach
John Levangie commented.
"We all needed this pivotal win
to get back on track and start
winning more games."
When asked about the posi-
tive turnaround. Levangie
attributed the change to the
girls' level of commitment to
each other and to the game.
"The girls work hard every
day in practice and have a spe-
cial dedication to the team.
Their work ethic is jusl unbe-
lies able." he added.
Now at the season's half way
point. Levangie reflected on
what he believes must occur
going forward.
"If we want to succeed in Ihe
tournament, we need more peo-
ple to put up some points." he
said. "If the scoring spreads out
to se\ eral players on our team. I
feel confidence will emerge and
success will follow."
Let's hope the confidence w ill
be flying high and another "W"
will result in tonight's Norwell
showdown.
CHS boys look for bigger
things in second half
The Cohasset boys basket-
ball team have taken their
lumps in their league sched-
ule, but head coach Dorian
Bryant is remaining upbeat
about what he is seeing from
his young team.
"1 think the kids have
improved since the season
started." he said before his
team's Wednesday practice.
"We're seeing kids do some
things they wouldn't have
dreamed of doing in the pre-
season, whether it be a nice
drop step for a big guy or a
crossover for a guard."
The key now is for that
progress to be sustained.
"With a young team, you
sometimes take two steps for-
ward and then three steps
back." Bryant said. "We're
trying to move forward con-
sistently."
The Skippers got their sec-

FROM THE

Jitjf Ann Nkvero
P
Pats' dominance
of Manning,
Colts no surprise
There were a number of rea-
sons why I just couldn't wait
to watch the Patriots take on
the Indianapolis Colts Sunday
afternoon, but none were big-
ger than my desire to see "the
Manning face."
New England has played the
Colts enough times for you to
know what I'm talking about.
It's that ripping the strap off
his helmet, throwing his arms
up in the air and shaking his
head in disbelief as he exits
the field, all the while think-
ing to himself: 'But I'm
Peyton Manning. This doesn't
happen to me.'
True, there haven't been
many opposing teams able to
contain the two-time NFL
MVP this year, but against the
Patriots, it's become common
practice. Manning is a great
quarterback, but when push
comes to shove, this guy
chokes. Sunday's 20-3 loss to
the Pals in the Divisional
playoff marked the second-
straight year Manning and the
Colts had been ousted from
the postseason by New
England.
We saw the face early and
often as the overly-hyped
Indy offense was virtually
non-existent. Still, after the
game. CBS and ESPN com-
mentators were, of course,
quick to dismiss Manning as
the reason for the loss. Sure,
the NFL's "golden boy" put
together some nice drives, but
none of them ended by cross-
ing the goal line. Basically, he
was a no-show. So how is that
not his fault?
Whatever the reason for the
loss, no one could deny that

Pats quarterback Tom Brady
was masterful under pressure,
going l8-for-27 for 144 yards
and two touchdowns. His per-
formance only further
demonstrated that there just
isn't a better big game quar-
terback in the game today.
No one could deny
paled in
comparison to his
adversary.
But Brady wasn't the only
standout. Throughout the two
weeks leading up to the
showdown, all we'd heard
about was Indy's offense and
how a backup Patriots sec-
ondary wouldn't be able to
contain its receivers. It was in
fact the New England offense
that shined, possessing the
ball for nearly 40 minutes and
compiling 325 yards of total
offense in the process.

The Pats out-rushed the
Colts 210—46, 144 of those
yards coming from running
back Corey "The Clock-
eater" Dillon. The generally
reliable Kevin Faulk also had
a good showing, while Indy
counterpart Edgerrin James
rushed for only 39 yards on
14 carries. Oooh. scary!
I guess the skeptics over-
looked the fact that coaching
also plays a big role in the
playoffs, and we have a mas-
termind at the helm in head
coach Bill Belichick. This
guy has owned Manning for
the past three years and he
and his staff always put
together the right defensive
formula. ..no matter who
plays.
Sure, the Pats defense is a
bit weakened by the absence
of Pro Bowl cornerback Ty
Law and defensive end
Richard Seymour, but it cer-
tainly didn't show on Sunday.
Secondary backup Randall
Gay and the ever-improving
Asante Samuel (what a hit!)
dominated in man-to-man
coverage. strong safety
Rodney Harrison (intercep-
tion) was everywhere, and
linebackers Tedy Bruschi
(fumble recovery, forced
fumble) and Mike Vrabel (six
tackles, sack, forced fumble l
were absolutely relentless.
Our "banged up" defense
allowed that record-setting
Colts offense only a trio of
points, scored on a lone Mike
Vanderjagt (a.k.a.
Vanderjerk) field goal in the
second quarter. (Open mouth,
insert foot).
In the end, it was as it
should be: Patriots moving
on. Colts going home. Brady
and the Pats offense studs.
Manning and the Colts attack
duds. New England defense
on point, Indy's lame. Adam
Vineteri golden, Vanderjagt a
joke. Indy 0-7 at Foxboro,
Pats unbeaten for two years
at home.
Manning will now have
plenty of time to admire
those everyday heroes he
praised in his popular TV
commercial. Go on Peyton,

The Patriots, on Ihe other
hand, will be busy taking on
the Steelers in their second,
consecutive AFC champi-
onship game. It will be a
chance to avenge the 34-20
loss at Pittsburgh that ended
our impressive year-long
winning streak and see what
the Steelers defense can do
when they have to deal with
Dillon, who didn't play in
that game back on Halloween
night.
Playing in Pittsburgh is
never easy, but after the way
the Steelers played against
the Jets Saturday night
(escaping with a 20-17 over-
time win), something tells me
their players won't be mak-
ing hotel reservations in
Jacksonville like they did
before they even took the
field against the eventual
Super Bowl champion
Patriots in 2001.
In Belichick we trust. Go
Pats.

Cohasset skaters play
loss to league-leading
FROM HOCKEY. PAGE 15
Kennedy and Corbin Faber,
who were matched up wilh thai
lop HP line at times and more
than held their own. Virga said
that line was able to carry play,
be physical and frustrate HP's
top scorers.
Junior goalie Stefan Pamell
made 25 saves, including sever-
al great ones from close to the
net to keep his team in it
In an encouraging sign,
Cohasset out-shot HP. 29-27.
Virga said his team had some
good shots, but simply couldn't
capitalize against a quality HP
goaltender.
Sciluate 7, Cohasset 1
The recent loss of a couple of
lop players has forced Sailors
coach Mike Breen to go a little
deeper into his bench. This was
a situation neighboring town
rival Cohasset had been hoping
to exploit.
Cohrsset had been over-
whelmed by the Sailors full
compliment of players on Dec.
31 . 5- 1 . but thought the ice sur-
face would be a little less slant-
ed this past Friday night when
the two teams met again on the
Skippers home Pilgrim Arena
ice.
Things didn't quite work out
the way Virga had hoped, how-
ever. The Sailors were just as
dominant in go-round number
two, out-shooting the host
Skippers 42-18 on their way to
a 7- I victory.
The Patriot League leading
Sailors improved to 7-1-1 with
the win.
The lineup featured by the
Skippers, with just six seniors
on the roster, in this one was lit-
tered with sophomores and
freshmen, particularly on the
front line.
Virga had no qualms with the
effort put forth by his players on
the ice. saying they were simply
going up against a better team,
one that he calls one of the best
in Div, 3.
"It was just one of those
lessons in life that you gel every
once in a while; Sciluate is just
a better team." he said. "We
played hard."
The Skippers got down 3-0 in
the first period, and could not
come back from that. Virga said
he felt the game was pretty
evenly played in the second and
third periods, but it was the first
that made the difference.
The Sailors got balanced
offensive output in this one. as a
forward from each of the four
lines had at least one point, led
by three point outings (two
goals, one assist each) by first
and second line wingers,
respectively, senior captain
Garrett Callahan and freshman
Sean Travis.
The other goals were scored
by first line left wing Owen
Kirkbride. senior defenseman
Martin Hooker and third line
center Colin Donahue.
It was ihe play of "fourth line"
seniors Brian Zona. Kevin Tufts
and Kenny Ohlund. though, that
had Sciluate head coach Mike
Breen gushing after the game.
"That line was really flying."
said Breen. "You see the experi-
ence of guys like that showing
on the ice. They've been play-
ing the same system for four
years, and they really do their
jobs. They forecheck and
backcheck like crazy. They do
the little things. They keep the
other team off the board and
they wear them down."
Parnell once again played
excellent in net, making 39
saves against the high-powered
attack of Sciluate.
Cohasset got on the board
when junior Brian Straughn
converted on a centering feed
from freshman Pat Doonan with
26. 1 seconds to go in the second
period, making it a 4- 1 game.
Sciluate got its four goal edge
right back, though, as Donahue
won the ensuing face-off and
took a lead pass from linemate
and fellow sophomore Jay
Milkiewic/ hard over the blue
line, cutting around the last man
back, then wrapping a pretty
shot around Pamell.
Mashpee came postponed
Due lo ihe inclement weather
lasl Sunday. Cohasset 's road
trip down to Mashpee was post-
tough in
HP
poned.
The re-scheduling of this
game could present a dilemma.
Il was unsure as of press time
when the game would be made
up, but the possibility exists thai
Ihe date would be Feb. 6.
Not only is that Super Bowl
Sunday, but it would also mean
four games in four days for
Cohasset (from Feb. 4-7). The
Mariner should have details on
the re-scheduling next week.
Next up
The Skippers will travel to
Bridgewater ice Arena tomor-
row night to take on SSL rival
Carver (X p.m. start).
Carver is a young team that
has yet lo w in a game this year.
They were blown out last week-
end by Norwcll. 9-0. and lost to
Hull (a team the Skippers beat
8-1 on Jan. 12) earlier this
week.
This one should go in the win
column for the Skippers, and
allow Virga to give his younger
players some extended ice time.
Wednesday will see another
long road trip, this one to Tabor
Academy lo take on Wareham
in a non-league tussle (4 p.m.
start).
Cohasset downed Wareham in
their season opener. 5-3, in a
very exciting game. On their
home ice. Wareham will cer-
tainly be looking lo gel back at
the blue and white.
The Skippers return to their
home Pilgrim Arena ice a week
from tonight lor a big show-
down with league arch-rival
Norwell (8 p.m. start). Norwell
is a solid team wilh three talent-
ed lines and a good, young
goalie in sophomore John
Collins.
Cohasset will have Iheir hands
full, but if ihey play as well as
they did against HP. will no
doubt have a chance lo win,
Virga is hoping to at least split
the Wareham/Norwell games,
as the goal remains to qualify
for the state tournament. His
charges will now have to go at
least 8-5 in their lasl 13 games
to do so.

"In my opinion. Shane is

"Shane had [Erickson] on the

really pushed him hard."
In the 145-pound division,
junior Dave McKenna won his
first two matches before suc-

Sixth grade girls win pair
The Cohasset sixth grade
girls travel Bean) earned iwo
hard fought victories this week-
end, defeating Halifax. 16-5.
and Bridge water. 16-11.
In the Saturday contest at
Halifax, a smothering Bine &
White defense prevented
Halifax from taking advantage
of a COld-snOOting opening half
hv Cohasset.
The Cohasset frontcourt play
of Emma Musto. Lindsay
Davis, Carly Haggerty. Kate

sented Halifax from getting

and Musto hit Cohassel's only
field goals, while Haggerty and
Rachel Prede) sank a free
throw apiece for a 6-3 Blue &
White lead at the half.
Cohasset continued to display
its defensive intensity at the
stan of the second half and tor
the First time this year was able
to hreak an opponent's full-
court press, a failure which has
proven the Blue & White's
undoing in some of its defeats
earlier this season.
In the meantime. the
Cohasset girls came to life
offensively, with Davis.
French, and Haggeny hitting
from the Held and Haggerty
sinking two free throws. Logan
Pratt put the icing on the
Cohasset victory cake with a
IS-fOOter off the glass lor the
16-5 final score.
The coaching staff singled
out Rachel Fredey for an out-
standing two-way game The
ball-hawking Fredey proved a
thorn in the side of the Halifax
offense all day with a number
hi steals from her guard posi-
tion, while offensively she
made some fine nto\cs to the
basket which drew Halifax
fouls.
On Sunday, the sixth-graders
entertained Bridgewater. a
team from the South Shore
large-town division, in one of
Cohassel's two crossover
games this season. (The South
Shore League is divided into
two eight-team leagues of
small and large towns.
Cohasset is in the small town
division with Abington.
Duxbury. Halifax. Norwell.
Carver. Raynham. and Hanson.
Each team plays every team in
its own division twice, plus two
crossover games with oppo-
nents from the other division).
The Blue & White jumped
out to an early lead and never
looked back, although they
were never quite able to defini-
tively put Bridgewater away.
Once again a staunch
defense, anchored by Carly
Haggert) at center, who
blocked a half-do/en enemy
shots on the day. stilled the
Bridgewater offense, which
could muster only two free
throws in the first half.
In the meantime, baskets by
Haggeny. Kate French (who
along with Haggeny hauled in
rebounds in the double-fig-
ures i. and Olivia Murphy gave
Cohasset a 6-2 lead at the inter-
mission.
Both teams began to pick up
the offensive pace in the second
half. but every time
Bridgewater pulled within a
bucket. Cohasset had an
answer.
Haggeny (two second half
hoops), French, and Lindsay
Davis all found the range for
the Blue & White from the
field, but Cohasset still could
manage only a tenuous 14-11
margin after a Halifax bucket
with less than a minute to go.
Cohasset broke the Halifax
full-court press on the ensuing
possession and Emma Quiglej
was fouled as she crossed half
court with 0:40 show ing on the
clock. Emma Q. then calmly
sank both ends of the one-and-
one for a comfortable five point
edge and the 16-11 final score.
The sixth graders now stand
at 4-4 halfway through the year,
good for sole possession of
fourth place in the SSL - and
looking forward to an even
better second half now that
they hav e sized up the competi-
tion in this, their first year in
the South Shore League!

New softball program for grades 7 and 8
The Cohasset Youth
Baseball Softball Association
(CYBSA) is pleased to
announce the creation of a
new seventh and eighth grade
softball program for the
upcoming 2005 spring sea-
son. The program is being
established to help till the
void that has been created
with the elimination of the
middle school softball pro-
gram.
The plan is to have an "in-
iown" league similar to the
existing Major league soft-
ball program that is cunenlly
offered for the fifth and sixth
grade girls. We hope to field
as many as four teams and
plan to play two games a
week during the CYBSA reg-
ular schedule, which begins
in April.
We are asking any girls
interested in participating, or
if you need further informa-
tion, to please contact either
Rob Spofford (383-1680) or
Chris Haggerty (383-9930)
by Saturday. Jan. 29 which
w ill allow us adequate time to
plan the inaugural season.

al hike through Scituate's pristine
winter wonderland — the South
Swamp — will take place on
Sunday. Jan. 30 from I to 3:30
p.m. Meet at the Mt. Hope
Improvement Society Building at
the comer of Clapp Road and
, Cedar Street in Scituate.

| son and $5 per family.

'• walk which is suitable for people
i over 10 years old. It will be led by
! local naturalists who will lake par-
ticipants through the unique envi-
ronment of the fro/en South
Swamp, however, if there is a
snowstorm or it is unseasonably
warm, the walk will be postponed

Blood drive Feb. 2
The Red Cniss has scheduled
the next Cohassel Community
Blood Drive for Wednesday, Feb.
2. The BkxxJ Drive will be at St.
Anthony Parish Center at the cor-
ner of South Main St. and
Summer St. from 1 to 7 p.m. As in
the past, baby-sitting will be pn>-
vided from 3 to 5 p.m. Ample
parking is available.
The best way to give blood for
the first time is to come with a
friend who is experienced in the
donation process. New donors
usually find the procedure easy
and painless and most come back
regularly to donate. "The biggest
obstacle seems to be overcoming
that initial fear." said Cathy Pray of
the Red Cn>sv Thats why we're
counting on our regular donors to
help by bringing a friend to this
blood drive." The Red Cross aiv.i
community of which Cohassel is a
part requires more than I .MX) pints
of hlood per day to meet umi.iI
demand for blood and blixxl prod-
ucts. . It is a challenge to collect
enough bkxxJ to meet the needs of
hospital patients year round.
Every hlood donauon is an oppor-
tunity to help an accident victim, a
surgical patient, or a child battling
leukemia, to name a few.
Most people can give bkxxl
through the American Red Cross.
Potential donors must be at least
1 7 years of age. i n good heal th and
weigh over III) pounds. In most
cases, donors may give if they are
on medication, hut should know
the names of these medications.
The Red Cmss always counts on
a good turnout when it visits
("ohasset so plea.'*" respond, if
possible, when a volunteer from
one of the church, civic, corporate
or social organizations calls. New
donors are welcome and especial-
ly needed. To register and make
an appointment for donating at a
specific lime or if you have any
questions, call Kevin or Ann
O'Connor ai 781-383-1290. You
can also call the Red Cross at 1-

January is a month for garden-
ers to dream!
When the gmund is frozen and
free from snow. I continue to
clip back lingering lifeless twigs
and rake the dead foliage and
debris from my gardens I avoid
treading on thawed, soft, damp
earth in my borders to prevent
compaction of my relatively
heavy soil. For those who may
have discovered a package or
two of spring-flowering bulbs in
the garage or simply ran out ot
time to plant. January thaws
offer a second opporuinitv to
plant these miracles ol spring
There should still he an adequate
cooling period to allord spnng
bloom although the blossoms
may be delayed
For an early touch of spring
indoors, plant an elegant
amaryllis bulb fHippeastnim

is easy togniw and usual I v pro-
duces lour to six huge, spectacu-
lar lily -shaped flowers clustered
at the lop of a tall sturdy stalk in
shades of pink. red. and white.
Larger bulbs often pn xluce mul-
tiple stems that may appear
simultaneously or emerge one
alter am ilher.
Keep amaryllis bulbs cool
until ready to plant and then
soak in lukewarm water for a
lew hours pnor to planting to
rehydrate the bulbs and to accel-
erate their wot development
Select a container that is just
slightly larger than the width ot
the bulb ( 2 inches w icier than the
diameter of the bulb is ideal); be
sure the container has drainage
holes. Fill the bottom of the pot
with sterile polling soil and
place the bulb in the container at
a depth thai will bring the neck
of the bulb within an inch of the
rim. Cover the bulb with soil,
leaving the neck and shoulders
of the bulb exposed. Water tin >r-
oughly and place the potted bulb
in a wann. bright location; then
water sparingly "'"'I 'he flower

When the amaryllis flowers
fade, cut the bkx>m stalks close
to the base as the long. Strap-like
leaves start to emerge W ater the
plants when the soil feels dry to
the touch and feed regularly
with a dilute liquid soluble ten 1 1 -

Amaryllis bulbs will enjoy
spending the summer outdoors
in a bnght but partially shady

ing to celebrate the birthday

the event with his keyboard
jazz.
Co-sponsored by the

this was the third annual break-
last honoring the life and lega-
cy of Dr. King. The cost of the
breakfast was covered by a
contribution from a First Parish

ciples of Dr. King. David
Bigley and Alix White of
Cohasset's new natural food
store. "All the Best", con-
tributed Fair Trade coffee and
teas.

another $540 was generated
from ticket sales. The total pro-
ceeds will be contributed in

THE COMPLETE STORY
Completely-in-the-canal (CIC)
hearing instruments offer the
cosmetic advantage of being
barely noticeable because they
reside completely in ihc ear
canal. Aside from cosmetics.
CIC instruments also provide
wearers with a hearing benefit.
The placement of the instru-
ment's microphone within the
entrance of the ear canal most
closely resembles the natural
form and functioning of the ear's
hearing system. Thus. Ihe outer
ear (pinna) is left free to perform
the function for which nature
designed it - lo gather sound
waves and funnel ihem into Ihc
ear canal and eardrum. As a
result. CIC instruments enable
users to better localize sounds.
Among other things, this
enhanced sound localization
helps wearers hear conversations
better in noisy environments.
You may have come lo realize
you need a hearing aid. but you
might not be aware of the many
kinds available. Il takes the
knowledge and experience of a
Board Certified Hearing
Instrument Specialist lo match
your individual needs with
exactly the appropriate device.
We care about you and your
hearing abilities here al FAMILY
HEARING CARE CENTER, and
we'll use all our training, experi-
ence and resources to bring back
ihc sounds of life lo you. Call us

Fiesta grande
Cozumel goes all out with
family-friendly Carnaval bash
By STEPHANIE SCHOROW
COZUMEL. Mexico -The
words "Mardi Gras" and "family
entertainmenl" don'i often go
together. But on the Mexican
island of Cozumel. known as a
snorkeling and diving destina-
tion, the pre-Lent "Camaval" fes-
tival has become a kid-friendly
extravaganza that celebrates
civic pride and local traditions as
well as giving tourists and
natives alike a chance to let down
their hair. The event a: this year
from Feb. 1 1 to 16 B is an extra
treat for travelers to this small
island, located off the Yucatan
coast, south of Cancun. If the
timing seems unusual a?
instead of before. Ash
Wednesday x it's because there
was a scheduling conflict this
year w ith the State Constitutional
Elections. Camaval, traditionally
the period before Lent, long has
been marked in the Catholic
country of Mexico, hut
Cozumelenos (as island residents
are called) have been adding
their own traditions and customs
for nearly 100 years. "Camaval is
one of Cozumel's grandest cele-
brations. Families and businesses
prepare many months in advance
for the parades and dance com-
petitions," said Fernando Ferav.
a 20-year Camaval planner and
historian. "It's a wonderful time
for visitors to come to Cozumel."
Even the very young participate In the 'Camaval
celebrations In Cozumel. Mexico.

to attend the main dance compe-
tition Feb. 1 1 in the oddly named
Moby Dick convention hall, a
short cab ride from the hotel
/one. The event begins at 1 1 :45
p.m.. so be prepared for a long
night (it goes on for hours). Cost:
$8 U.S. Rivalry is fierce but
friendly: dance teams include
parents, grandparents, young-
sters, teenagers and more than a
few awkward boys, slightly
uncomfortable in sequin and
satin but trying gamely to keep
up with their older sisters.
Presiding over the eveni are the
King and Queen of the festival,
chosen every year.
But you don't have to stay up
all night to enjoy Carnaval.
Indeed, you should get an early
jump on slaking out a viewing
spot for the main parades, which
begin, more or less, as the sun is
setting along San Miguel's main
waterfront thoroughfare. Well
before nightfall, the waterfront
begins to till with paradegoers,
sometimes painted or bejeweled
for the occasion. In a roar of glit-
ter and pounding music, floats
and dance teams pass through
downtown, tossing candy and
beads into the excited crowd.
Float [hemes range from lradi-1
tional to contemporary. An
Egyptian-thcmed float might
come after a faux Chinese pago-
da or an homage to the late great
salsa singer Celia Cruz followed
by a motorized "Mad Cow" thai
makes children scream with
delight. The shimmy and shake
of the enthusiastic participants
rock the floats so much that if
they were boats on water they
would be in danger of sinking.
But although the costumes are
often skimpy, the parade is strict-
ly rated PG. What might be more
jarring to American eyes is the
tradition of performing in black-
face with bushy wigs or polka-
dot scarves. The masquerade of
"Negritos" reflects the history of
Camaval. when many early cele-
brants blackened their faces as a
kind of mask. Some of the
island's dance groups still follow
the custom.
Three parades will be held Feb.
12, 13 and 1 5; and the award cer-
emony for crowning the King
and Queen of Camaval will be
held Feb. 16 at Benito luarez
Park, which is near the water-
front. Not to be missed is the
children's parade, which begins
at 5 p.m. on Feb. 14 and puts the
"ah" in adorable. Additionally,
through the week, dance groups
congregate in San Miguel's main
square or on side streets for spon-
taneous performances. In
Cozumel. even if you don't go to
Camaval. Camaval will come to
you.

What to see: Cozumel has
white-sand beaches, world-
class hotels and restaurants, a
golf course and Mayan ruins. It
is also a popular gort of call for
cruise ships. Getting There:
Several airlines offer direct
flights to Cozumel via hubs
such as Dallas and Charlotte,
N.C. You also can get to the
island from Cancun via a short
flight or on one of the nearly
hourly ferries out of Playa del

No sewer treatment
plant on ballpark
Chairman of the Board of Health
Steve Bono said his board has no
intention of trying lo build a sewer
treatmenl plant on the Beechwixxl
Ball Park. Renovations are
planned for the park which will
make much needed improvements
to the site, and Bobo said he hopes
the contractors responsible for ihe
upgrade will only consider the
value of the propeny, which is a
great site for a leeching field.
Treated water could serve as irri-
gation for the field, making the
area very environmentally friend-
ly. "You can plan for something
like that and decrease costs," he
said. Bobo said he is very interest-
ed in holding a public meeting
with the residents of the
Beechwood area of town, as many
people are interested in providing
input lor the project. For more
information, please contact the

Co-chair: Cost of post-prom party decorations overstated
By Samantha Brown
5AMBR0WN»CNC.C0M
A resident involved with plan-
ning decorations for lasi year"s
post-prom party says her com-
mittee worked diligently to cut
costs.
Susan Turgiss. co-chairman of
the 2(KM post prom decorating
committee (a sub-committee of
the post prom committee) said
the $2().(XK) figure for decora-
lions tossed about at the Jan. 13
School Committee meeting,
which was also reported in last
week's Mariner, is incorrect.
During discussion at that
School Committee meeting —
which included Principal Jack
DeLoren/o. Assistant Principal
Michael Gill, members of the
School Committee and a new
group of senior parents who
would like to use the high school
for this year's party — it was
staled the former decorating
committee had spent S2().(KK) on
decorations for a night which
ended with some members of the
senior class getting drunk and
pulling a fire alarm to break mil
of the school,
Both School Committee mem-
bers Rick Flynn and Adrienne
MacCarthy chaperoned the
event. Both administrators and
members of the School
Committee said they were not
sure they could allow the ev ent to
be held on school property again
this year after last year's events.
But Turgiss. who did not attend
the School Committee meeting
but has received numerous phone
calls from upset parents w ho read
the Mariner story, said the cost
for the entire event was less than
SlO.tXX) which included roughly
$3.61X1 for decorations, roughly
$4.0(K) on entertainment, as well
as the mandated cost of lire and
police department presence.
Turgiss said the committee left a
roughly S4.4IM) balance to be
used by the following class.
"The decorating committee, a
wonderful, caring, cross-section
Ol about 30 parents, was shocked
bv the amount recorded in the
article and saddened to think that
the readers now think we would
he so indulgent. This is so far
from the truth." Turgiss said.
Hie post-prom party, which has
been a tradition for the past eight
years, is held from 1 1 p.m. until 5
a.m. on the night of the senior
prom. Following the dance,
prom-goers head to Cohasset
High School where parents have
transformed the cafeteria, gym-
nasium, and upper lobby area
with decorations. There has also
been a food area, dance area, a
"chill room'' with a video play-
ing, a casino/game area, a gym

caring, cross-section of about 30 parents,

readers now think we would

with a moonwalk. and a few
other theme areas.
Parents working on the 2<XW
post pmm party "met their goal
through creativity, hard work,
and borrowed materials from
supportive merchants and citi-
zens. The decorating committee
also cleaned the school after-
ward.'' Turgiss said She added
all the materials were approved
by the tire department and can
easily be reused by the next
senior class. In 2(X)4 parents
agreed there was no need for
extravagance and wanted to
leave money in the budget for the
following years. Turgiss said.
"The negative publicity caused
by the actions of a small group of
students has been upsetting for
the rest of the class who voiced
they were appreciative of the
post-prom party. Unfortunately,
those voices have not been

While Turgiss acknowledges
there will he some students who
will try to gel aw a\ w ith drinking
at the event, she explained many
parents were not aware of any
inappropriate behavior until
weeks later. Turgiss said parents
of intoxicated students should
have been notified that night so
they could pick their son or
daughter up The main priority of
the event is safely ol the students,
she said.
Turgiss. who di<l not chaperone
last year's party bul has in past
years, doesn't ihink future senior
classes should be penalized for
the actions ol a minority of stu-
dents at last year's patty.
"We re all working really hard
lo be good parents." Turgiss
said. "No one wants their child
lo be Intoxicated at an event or
act inappropriately toward a
chaperone.
"It's a tier) positive event the
parents and kids really appreci-
ate We have great attendance,
sometimes wo percent, and it
shows you ihe kids are buying
into this."
II there are problems which
need 10 be ironed out. Turgiss
said last year's committee is will-
ing to work with ihe new com
mince to come up with sugges-
tions. She said iheie are also
many parents ol last year's
seniOTI who have been through
ihe post-prom experience and
would be willing to help chaper-
i me this year's event.
"I love kids and I have a lot of
faith in them." said Turgiss. who
adds there needs 10 be a strong
chaperone presence and poten-
tially a police presence lo ensure
if anything does happen, there
are plenty of adults to handle the
sttu.it ii in
However, she said the students
need their space to have fun and
enjo) themselves. "Kids are kids
and il you turn it into a military
experience, they won't come."

Selectmen want town to speak with one voice on wastewater
Want sewer
meetings televised
By Samantha Brown
SAMBROWN«C NC.COM
Several town officials held a
powwow with ihe Department of
Environmental Protection last
Friday to talk about the town's
plans to tackle its wastewater
problems.
Although held behind closed
doors — the gist of the discus-
sion was a topic at Tuesday's
selectmen's meeting — where
Selectman Rob Spofford stressed
the various town boards need to
get on the same page in dealing
with wastewater issues.
Members of the Board of
Selectmen. Sewer Commission,
and Board of Health attended the
DEP meeting in Boston. While
Selectmen say they would like to
speak with Town Counsel before
reporting back on the specifics —
which includes the town's plans
for sewering the Little Harbor
area — the DEP talks ma) lead 10
the drafting of a new "master
plan" on wastewater issues.
The town is under a court order,
dubbed the Second Amended
Final Judgment, to come up with
a plan to solve its wastewater
problems that date back more
than 25 years. Selectmen and
Town Counsel have said the
town has a plan and therefore
meets the requirements of the
Judgment. But in a recent letter to
Selectmen. Ihe DEP said it finds
the town's current wastewater
plan "woefully inadequate." and
it has also not been implemented.
DEP said it would like to meet
with town officials to discuss the
matter.
Spofford said with boards act-
ing independently and not in a
cohesive manner, it makes it dif-
ficult to move forward with the
wastewater issues.
Selectmen think combining the
existing Wastewater Committee
with the proposed Sewer Study
Committee —floated last fall but
not appointed — could be a pos-
itive step.
Selectmen Chairman Michael
Sullivan said members of the
Wastewater Committee have
been working diligently to com- ,
pile information regarding the
wastewater in town, and it make
sense for the new committee to
build on that information.
He said the town is still looking
for three residents to participate
on the Sewer Study Committee,
which will also include the cur-
rent Wastewater Committee as
well as members of the Board of
Selectmen. Planning Board.
Advisory Committee and Sewer
Commission.
Sullivan said it is the intention
to have a committee where every
board which has a stake in the
future wastewater plans of the
town can participate because the
town needs to bring a coordinat-
ed vision forward to the state.
Selectman Ralph Dormit/er
praised the work of the
Wastewater Committee, but said
its analysis has not been as quan-
titative as he would have liked.
He hopes this new committee
will be able to expand on the
work which has already been
done.
Spofford said he thinks forming
this committee, "is a great first
step," but reminded the board it
must be careful not to step on the
toes of any other boards. "I don't
think we'd appreciate the
Planning Board or any others
coming in to oversee the work
we should be doing." he said.
He added as long as Sewer
Commission Chairman Ray
Kasperowic is in favor of Ihe
committee, he thinks it is a great
idea. However. Spofford reiterat-
ed that moving forward, the [own
will need a Wastewater Master
Plan which will be much more
detailed than the Wastewater
Management Plan the
Wastewater Committee has been
working on. He said in the
Sewer Commission's charge, it is
responsible lor coming up with a
Wastewaier Mutt Plan, and "If
Ihe Sewer Commission doesn'l
have Ihe lime or the inclination,
we need 10 tint! someone to help
Ihem complete their work." he
said.
Selectman Ronnie McMoms
said she wants wastewater issues
hroughl to ihe forefront foi more-
public vetting, suggesting ihe
Sewer Commi-smn should hold
its meetings in the Selectmen's
meeting room in front of the
cameras.
'The Sewer Commission needs
lo meet here with the cameras so
Ihe residents can follow.
Everyone needs to be involved
and understand," she said.
Members of the Board of
Selectmen, H< >ard 1 >f Health and
Sewer Commission are slated to
meet with ihe DEP again Feb 22
in Boston The Board of
Selectmen will meet with Town
Counsel next Tuesday. Feb. I in
executive session to discuss the
lirsi meeting with ihe DEP and
ma) come out of executive ses-
sion to give an update thai night

additional grade one teacher and
funding tor a grade two teaching
position which is currently being

ent organization. She said by

the Strategic Plan.

and an adjustment counselor al

Deer Hill Principal Keith Gauley
is also kxiking for $1,971 for stu-
dent activities and aw ards. He said
he would like lo purchase incen-
tive awards for Ihe reading and
math pnigrams as well as end of
the year certificates. In addition, he
said" Ik- sometimes students arc
rewarded with a lunch with the
principal, and he would like lo be
able to give oul a "principal's
medal" to those students.
Other items in the Deer Hill bud-
get include SI 2.370 for instruc-
tional materials, and $3,600 for
professional development
The middle high school went
through some changes this year, as
ihe sixth grade moved up from the
Deer Hill school, turning grades
six through eight intoa true middle
school. Middle-high school princi-
pal Jack DeLorcnzo said in light of
the changes, he is recommending
an assistant principal for Ihe mid-
dle school.
In addilion. because the number
of students in the middle school
continues to grow every year.
DeLorenzo is recommending an
additional guidance counselor. He
said w ith three grades in the mid-
dle school, there is a ratio of 380 to
one with the present staff, and
additional help is needed.
At Ihe high school. DeLorenzo
said due to increased enrollment as
well as new state regulations, he
would like lo be able to offer more
course choices. He recommended
changing the senior English course
to a semester instead of three quar-
ters, which would enable the
School to add semester English
electives. lo bener prepare students
for Ihe future. In addition, with
changes to the MCAS test fast
approaching. DeLorenzo said the
school would like to begin imple-
menting the requirement of two
years of L'S history, which will
allow the school lo meet stale
frameworks, as well as prepare stu-
dents for the US history MCAS
lest, which will be piloted this
May.
In addilion. DeLorenzo said Ihe
School would like lo add three
math courses, including AP statis-
tics. AP computer science, and
principals of finance. Statistics has
been offered for the past two
semesters and is very popular with
the students, and the staff has a
strong interest in advancing the
course to the advanced level.

Center for Student Coastal Research gets grant award
FROM GRANT, PAGE 1
tion is a great concern.
Herzfelder said.
The Gulf River project grant
will fund a student-centered
water quality assessment,
analysis and research of NPS
pollution control in the Gulf
River, as well as an ongoing
public education and outreach
program. In addition to the
$16,000, the state also awarded
a second non-point source pol-
lution grant to the CSCR for
SI 1 ,500. which will pay for
training, enabling students to
better perform their duties.
"There is so much pressure
on our coastal resources," said
Herzfelder. adding she recog-
nizes the work students are
conducting at Center for
Student Coastal Research is
producing much needed
reports on the health of the
town's environment.
"We all know how beautiful
it is." she said of the coastal
landscape of Cohasset. adding
it is wonderful to see the town
pro actively working toward
maintain that beauty.
"Congratulations. You deserve
some credit for all you have
done." Her/felder said.
Center president Jack
Buckley, who is also a teacher
at Cohasset High School, said
receiving the grants "repre-
sents an acknowledgment of
our success and of the model
we've created. It's a great
opportunity to expand student
involvement much more on a
year-round basis."
Buckley also said he had only
anticipated receiving one grant,
but at the ceremony when the
Center was presented with two.
he couldn't have been more
thrilled. "I am doubly excited."
he said.
You deserve some
credit for all you
have done."
—Ellen Roy Her/felder.
Secretary of Environmental
Affairs
However, receiving the funds
to complete water quality
assessments means students at
the Center have a long road
ahead.
"The good news is. we got
the grant. The bad news is. we
got the grant." joked Buckley,
as the Center must now tackle
some ambitious projects head-
on. However, he said the expe-
rience for the students is worth
all the hard work.
"This gets the kids involved
in doing some real scientific
work," said Buckley, adding
students realize it is not a class
project, but an authentic
assessment which will be used
by the town, so they must learn
how to complete all testing
properly and compile real
results.
"This represents a challenge
for us. but it will give the kids
the experience and training
they will need to yield a valu-
able product."
In addition to the Center for
Student Coastal Research.
Herzfelder presented grants to
both the Massachusetts Bay
Estuary Association and North
and South Rivers Watershed
Association in the amount of
SI 0.000 and S35.000, respec-
tively.

SI 0.000 grant to pay for mate-
rials necessary to conduct a
regionally specific, baseline
survey of Massachusetts Bays
residents regarding storm
water. The information col-
lected will build on previous
information compiled as part
of its "Storm Windows" pro-
gram - a mass media/advertis-
ing campaign that "markets"
storm water as a significant
problem which can be
addressed by individuals.
"People living on the coast
very likely love the water."
said Paula Jewell of the
Massachusetts Bays Estuary
Association. She said by
putting out the survey, the
organization will gain a better
understanding of the different
perceptions the public has
regarding siorm-water runoff,
as well as whether the commu-
nity would be Willing to pay lor
some of the improvements nec-
essary to reduce pollution.
The North and South Rivers
Watershed Association was
awarded $33,000 to enhance its
"Greenscapes" program, which
leaches consumers how to have
healthy landscapes without
using excess fertilizers, pesti-
cides, herbicides, or water. It is
a program which has been
made possible through a multi-
stakeholder partnership, which
also includes the
Massachusetts Havs National
Estuary Program. L'Mass
Cooperative Extension, and
roughly 16 municipalities in
the Smith Co.isial Watershed
including Cohasset. Kingston,
Marshfield. Plymouth.
Hanover and Weymouth.
Several other towns are still

roughly S2 1 5.000 will be
awarded to various organiza-
tions lor non-point source pol-

an environmental analyst for
the Office of Coastal' Zone
Management, the office which
awarded the grants, said each
proposal received is reviewed
by an evaluation committee

the goals ol the office. The
Coastal Zone Management
Office anticipates it will solicit
applications for the next round
of grants in September 2005.

Traveling igloos
We're not sure if it's a nationwide problem or
unique to New England.
Bui why da so man) motorists drive with snow all
over their cars?
Could it be mall) houses don't have garages? Could it be
those thai do are so cluttered the family car is parked outside?
Could it be la/iness ?
We admit to being lolally perplexed about this and there
isn't a great deal written about the practice.
Granted this week's blizzard and Wednesday's snowstorm
are events thai are putting even self-proclaimed "snow lovers"
near the edge. The) "re considering becoming "snow birds" by
looking in the travel pages for a warm oasis.
In addition lo cabin lever, those fans of winter — like the
rest of us — are coping w ith tons of snow to remove from
Walkways and driveways und extra no-school days for chil-
dren that aren't alway s a vacation lor working parents.
But there are SUVs out there lhat cost upw ards of SfiO.tXX)
w hose ow ncrs are drh ing them around w ith nary a peephole
to see the outside w orld and upwards of a fool on snow on the
hood and roof. We have new s for them: anti-lock brakes and
four-wheel drive aren't going to protect you or the motorists
and pedestrians around sou if you can't see out the windows.
Fixing smm and ice can also hit another vehicle causing
that motorist to crash.
It's just commonsense: lack of v isibility and huge pieces of
ice and hardened snow living through the air are safety haz-
ards Even light, powdery snow coming off a car or truck
causes a log-like condition for other vehicles.
One Internet Web site put it best. According to Car Talk's
Official Winter Drh ing Tips at: ww w.cartalk.com: "You need
\ isihility in poor conditions, because you have to keep your
eye peeled lor every other knucklehead on the road."
Tom and Ray Maglioz/i of Cambridge la.k.a. "Click and
Clack, the Tappet Brothers"), who also host a talk show on
National Public Radio member stations, offer these sugges-
tions:
"Make sure every glass surface is clear and transparent
using a snow brush and/or ice scraper. Your side-view mirrors
and all lights should be brushed and cleared as well.
"Now if you haven't been smart enough to do so already,
clean the snow off the rest of the car. Why? Because the rest
ol the snow vv ill either (a) slide off the roof and cover your
Windshield as you're slowing down; or (b) fly off onto some-
one else's windshield and cause him or her to smash into
you."
So let's not see any more travelling igloos out there - they
know who they are!
If those drivers are not going to listen, then we hope they
take the following advice.
Among myriad other winter driving tips ranging from tune
ups to keeping windshield wipers in good shape, the
Magliozzi brothers also add this: "Our best tip is still this:
move to Hawaii!"

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Disgusted by
post-prom behavior
To the Editor:
How many of you saw the tragic picture of
State Trooper Ellen Englehardt on the Imnt
page of the Glohe and Ledger this week? Her
life and that of her boyfriend and family for-
ever destroyed by a spoiled, drunken 18-year
old who was given too much and excused too
often. Finally, the system gave him a 2-1/2
year jail sentence which may be lessened for
"good behavior." Small solace to Ellen
Englehardt
When I was on the Cohasset School
Committee, the same disgusting behavior was
all too common by the student body. Even a
former School Committee chairperson tried to
brush aside expressions of concern by alluding
to the "rite of passage." Another School
Committee chairperson could not understand
the need for a strong Cohasset School District
policy manual that would be taken seriously
and another Schcxil Committee chairperson
endorsed a ski tnpt subsequently withdrawn
and the trip cancelled 1 that ihe Cohasset
School District prohibited in bold type
because of the history of misconduct on such
trips.
Cohasset has a huge problem because of
parental denial ;uid cover-ups by the Schixil
Committee and administration. Based upon
the Mariner story, il certainly sounds as if the
Assistant Principal and two Schixil
Committee members pa-sent at the post-prom
party were well aware of the misconduct
School Committee member Rick Flynn is
quoted as saying: "By-law. alcohol d<x-s not
exist on a school campus." If that is so. why
was not there a stream of police cars bmking
the offenders and a stream of parents at Ihe
police station 10 drive the offenders home?
Why were not the names of those 1 6 and older
included in Ihe police log report lhat is pub-
lished by the Mariner?
You have another article in the same edition
of the Mariner: "Cohasset police, school
department get on ihe same page." 1 think the
HEALTH NOTES
new Chief of Police and the new
.Superintendent should write a joint letter for
publication in the Mariner that spells out what
was done wrong at ihe post-pmm party and
how the new Memorandum of Understanding
would improve the handling of such a situa-
tion.
I am sua- thai ihe spoiled, bored youth of
Cohassel dislike any function chaperoned by
adults. I do not think relocating the Post-prom
party off campus is the solution. It would only
increase the likelihixxl of students and inno-
cent residents being mowed down by drunken
drivers. Suspensions, removal from eligibility
for scholarships, non-participation in gradua-
tion ceremonies, and a public record of those
iirrested would be deterrents that are more
effective. Parents who defend such misbehav-
ior should be horsewhipped.

Taking carbon monoxide exposure seriously
By Steve Bobo
SPECIAL TO THE MARINER
No doubt you' ve read of the death by Carbon
Monoxide (CO) poisoning of an eight-year-old
in a car, waiting for it to be shoveled out in the
recent snow storm: the near death of an entire
family in Plymouth, and the death of a cab dri-
ver in Boston.
Carbon monoxide poisoning is noi an uncom-
mon occurrence. According to the CDC. every
year, more than 2(X) people in the United Slates
die from CO poisoning and several thousand
people go to hospital emergency nx>ms for
treatment for CO poisoning.
The exhaust from a car in a snowdrift can
accumulate under ihe car bcxly mid. ihniugh
vents and other openings, leak into Ihe passen-
ger compartment Seepage can occur in new
cars as well as older vehicles. In older vehicles,
the exhaust system can leak if the tailpipe is
plugged by snow and CO may be present even
if snow is not otherwise blocking the vehicle.
Mosi people die from CO produced by fuel-
burning appliances (furnaces, ranges, water
heaters, room healers 1. Others die from CO
prcxluced while burning charcoal or wcxxl
inside a home, garage, vehicle or tent. Still oth-
ers die from CO produced by cars left miming
in attached garages. The family in Plymouth
became ill in a new dwelling because an out-
side gas furnace vent was blocked by snow.
Carbon monoxide (COl is a colorless, odor-
less, poisonous gas. It is produced by the
incomplete burning of solid, liquid, and
gaseous fuels. Sonx: CO can be pnxluced by
virtually every process in which combustion
(xxurs: appliances fueled w ith natural gas, liq-
uefied petroleum (LP gas), oil. kerosene, coal,
or burning and charcoal all produce CO.
Initial symptoms ol CO poisoning are similar
to ihe flu (hut without the fever). They include:
headache, fatigue, shortness of breath, nausea.
di//niLss. Many people with CO poisoning
mistake their symptoms for the flu or are mis-
diagnosed by physicians, which sometimes
results in tragic deaths. The health effects of
CO depend on the level of CO and length of
exposure, as well as each individual's health
condition. The concentration of CO is mea-
sured in parts per million (ppm). Health effects
from expl 'sure u > C( ) levels of approximately I
to 70 ppm are uncertain, but most people will
not experience any symptoms. Some heart
patients might experience an increase in chest
pain. As CO levels increase and remain above
70 ppm. symptoms may become more notice-
able (headache, fatigue, nausea). As CO levels
increase above 150 to 2(X) ppm. disorientation,
unconsciousness, and death are possible.
Many people with CO poisoning
mistake their symptoms for the
flu or are misdiagnosed by
physicians, which sometimes
results in tragic deaths.
Take action immediately If you think you are
experiencing any of the symptoms of CO poi-
soning, get fresh air Open windows and dix>rs
for mOK ventilation, tum off any combustion
appliances, and leave Ihe house. Call your fire
department and report your symptoms. You
could li.se> consciousness and die if you do
nothing. Il is also important lo contact a doc tor
immediately for a proper diagnosis. Tell your
doctor that you suspect CO poisoning is caus-
ing your problems. Prompt medical attention is
important if you are experiencing any symp-
toms of CO poisoning w hen you are operafing
fuel-burning appliances. Before turning a fuel-
burning appliances back on. make sure a quali-
fied service person checks if liir malfunction
Prevention — Make sure appliances are
installed according to manufacturer's instruc-
tions and local building axles Most appliances
shcxild be installed by professionals. Have the
heating system (including chimneys and vents)
inspected and serviced annually.
Install a CO detector/alarm: however a CO
alann can provide added protection, bul is no
substitute for proper use and upkeep of appli-
ances that can produce CO.
Never ignore a CO detector/alarm. If the
detector/alarm sounds: operate the reset button;
call your emergency services (fire department
or 91 1 ): immediately move to fresh air — out-
dexxs or by an open door/window.
Never leave a car running in an attached
garage, even with the garage dexx open.
Never operate unvented fuel-burning appli-
ances in any room with closed doors or win-
dows or in any nx>m w here people are sleeping,
or bum charcoal or use portable fuel-burning
camping equipment inside a home, garage,
vehicle, or tent
Do not use gasoline-powered t<x>lx and
engines indoors If use is unavoidable, ensure
thai adequate ventilation is available and,
whenever possible, place engine so as to
exhaust outdoors.
The Cohasset Fire Department encourages
the installation of CO detectors/alarms in all
new single-family homes and in existing sin-
gle-family residences that have oil or gas fur-
naces. Many cities also require CO
detectors/alarms in apartment buildings and
single-family dwellings.
CO detectors/alanns are available for boats
and recreational vehicles and should be used.
Seriously consider CO alarms for all boats,
motor homes and towable recreational v ehicles
that have a generator.

COMMENTARY
Jot-: McElroy
While Cohasset is as beautiful as il was 20 years
when we moved here: il certainly is not as afford-
able. During that same period, the corporate world
has increased productivity and regained its compet-
itive edge as compared to EU countries. The corpo-
rate world has primarily realized productivity gains
by outsourcing, computerization/robotics and elimi-
nating or reducing or its defined retirement plans
and benefit packageslparticularly demanding thai
employees assume a larger share of health care pre-
miums).
Cohasset schools were academically excellent 20
years ago and remain so today. They are not any bet-
ter and not measurably worse. Twenty years ago,
Cohassel schoolteacher pay and benefits were in the
lower-middle range, now they arc in the upper

fringe benefits have decreased.
range. Pay increases have exceeded other school dis-
tricts and fringe benefits have increased while in
other sectors of the economy fringe benefits have
decreased. School unions have fought off every
attempt to include "merit" as a factor in contract
negotiations.
Therefore, what you have is a situation where
schoolteachers want to be treated as professionals,
but they want the protection of labor contracts, Good
teachers will continue to work the hours necessary to
help each student reach his/her maximum potential.
Poor teachers will hide behind the protective blanket
of their contracts and gain all the benefits of their
more dedicated counterparts. When teachers com-
plain about their work hours, they should take a
close look at the travel demands and work hours ihat
ihe corporate world demands of its professionals.
As I understand it. the School Committee is in the
final stages of contract negotiations. Il is time the
School Committee and Teachers' Union put "merit"
into the next contract At the same time, wage
increases should be very modest and fringe benefits
should either be stabilized or shared. Good pay and
benefits are nice, but the Cohassel School
Committee should leverage the advantage that it has
as a small School District with a high achieving stu-
dent body. There are other priorities in Tow n, not ilk-
least of which is keeping Cohasset affordable and
spending another SI5 million to sewer ihe 4IKI
homes in the Little Harbor area.

A history lesson from CEES
along with some serious concerns
COMMENTARY
LisaLoJacono
The following was sent to the Board of
Selectmen with a copy to the Mariner for publica-
tion.
I am writing this for three specific reasons: First,
to express my serious concerns about comments
made during your (Board of Selectmen) last open-
ing meeting (Jan. IS) and subsequent Comments
made by other town officials with respect to the
integrity of Ihe town's engineering firm. Tutela.
and Mr. Dan Coughlin.
Second. I am writing to address disturbing com-
ments made by several of your board members
regarding the legality of the CEES- sponsored arti-
cle which was passed overwhelmingly at the
December Town Meeting.
Third. I am writing to advise your board of Ihe
serious consequences of their continued and ill-
advised position lhat Cohasset has satisfied Ihe
requirements set forth in Ihe Second Final
Amended Final Judgment (SAFJ). Your citizens
encourage you to embrace the opportunities avail-
able to you by negotiating an agreement between
the Town and the State, and secure the many ben-
efits being offered to us.
In addressing the first issue, it is important to
note that in 1997. when CEES (Citizens for
Equitable Environmental Solutions) was founded,
there was no trust between the Sewer Commission
or Tutela Engineering and the citizens who com-
prise CEES.
CEES was suspect of every position that Tutela
advocated, and we scrutinized their actions care-
fully. CEES was a major force in getting a Town
review of Tutela and other professional firms thai
could take on tasks assigned by the Sewer
Commission. It was through this process that
CEES learned that Tutela Engineering and their
chief engineer for the project. Mr. Dan Coughlin.
were excellent resources for the Town.
Mr. Coughlin's professionalism and expertise
has not only earned him the trust of CEES. but the
respect he deserves. For any member of the Board
of Selectmen or any other Town board to question
this is hypocritical.
In July, when Cohasset was asked by the DEPto
document its progress on the Wastewater
Management Plan which the town had submitted
to the DEP in 2(KX), your Board as well as the
Board of Health, had no problem requesting Mr.
Coughlin to compile documentation that the Town
should have been doing over the previous four
years, as set forth in the requirement by the DEP.
Further, in response to a DEP request made of
your Board, you had no problem directing Mr.
Coughlin to respond on behalf of the Town. In
fact. Town Counsel advised all parties that having
Mr. Coughlin sign would afford the Town an
avenue to "escape" enforcement should the State
require Cohassel to act on this plan, something
which CEES and most recently the DEP have said
is an unacceptable and ineffective maneuver.
So now that the Town has learned that the DEP
had determined its efforts to be (in their words)
"woefully inadequate." members of your Board
and others have decided to point the finger of
blame and suspicion at Mr. Coughlin. (See letter
of 12/22/04 from Deputy Regional Director
Madelyn Morris.) II Mr. Coughlin's work was
gixxl enough to pass the scrutiny of a profession-
al review, which concluded Tutela's credentials
were superior to their competition, and Mr.
Coughlin was qualified enough to respond on
behalf of the Town in a serious mailer with the
Slate, then it should follow lhal his work was not
at fault: the town is. The people of this town
deserve better and citizens will recognize these
claims for what they are. a refusal to accept
responsibility.
Focusing on the next round of disturbing com-
ments from your Board, those regarding ihe legal-
ity of the CEES citizens' petition, it is important to
State thai neither CEES counsel (which included
ihe lown moderator of Brooklinel.nor the Stale
Attorney General's Office, nor our own Town
Moderalor share your Board's position, The citi-
zens should see this tactic, used by your Board
and our Town Counsel, as one would \ iew a cry of
"lire" in a crowded audilorium — a cheap maneu-
ver meani to scare people, and an unproductive
way to interact. Further, when the lame argument
of illegality was put to rest by our moderator dur-
ing Town Meeting, at least one member of the
BoS attempted to stop the vote.
Fortunately, the voters saw through this tactic
and proceeded to support overwhelmingly the
Little Harbor/Atlantic Avenue Sewer project, yet
we are still listening to similar rhetoric about Ihe
article being "illegal." This should be seen as
another tactic to de rail the will of the people at
Town Meeting. Certainly the voters of Cohasset
will see these comments lor w hat they are — inac-
curate and blatant refusals to accept the will of the
citizens.
Finally, the third area that should prompt your
Board and others to re-evaluate your actions as
being decisively incorrect deals with the issue of
compliance with Ihe SAFJ. If there is anyone
reading this who questions the positive, working
relationship between CEES and the DEP. they
should read the 1 2/22/IM lener from the DEP sent
to Cohasset. In it. the DEP clearly defines the
same position that CEES put forth in several pub-
lic meetings throughout 2004. CEES staled lhat
the DEP was not going to accept the Wastew ater
Management Plan documentation submitted to
them as being a sufficient demonstration that
Cohasset has satisfied the Second Amended Final
Judgment. The State shares CEES's position thai
Cohasset has not complied with the SAFJ. Your
board is following an ill-advised legal opinion and
is taking the Town in a dangerous and costly
direction. The only winner here will be the
accounts receivables office of the law firm that
represents the Town.
There are many positive reasons to cooperate
with the Slate and adjust our adversarial position
toward the State and DEP. If Cohasset agrees to
commit formally to the schedule that they gener-
ated and submitted to the State last February, the
State has expressed its willingness to offer valu-
able amnesty for all Little Harbor/Atlantic Avenue
homes thai do not meet Title V requirements. The
entire Town will benefit from slopping the finan-
cial hemorrhaging from the mounting legal bills
that this Town has been paying to avoid satisfying
the SAFJ.
In addition to the substantial savings from both
of these, such an agreement brokered between
Cohasset and the State puts Cohasset on a priority
list to access funds available through the State
LIBRARY CORNER
Revolving Fund (SRF). which are loaned at vers
low rates. The State has offered its free services
regarding the application lor SRF funds to ensure
that our Town has the best chance to receive assis-
tance lor the project. Also, the Slate has indicated
thai they could include language in the agreement
that would protect the town if there was some
unforeseeable holdup in funds thai would stall the
project (i.e. school funding experience).
Another advantage, of which I believe you are
aware, is thai the State would be willing 10 stipu-
late in ihe agreement a variety of projects that
could be addressed with any unused capacity
resulting from the Little Harbor/Atlantic Avenue
treatment plant expansion. To most residents, u
would seem prudent thai your Board act immedi-
ately to seize this opportunity and broker an agree-
ment lhal would address ihe existing residents in
various areas of town before affording sewer
opportunities to developers Certainly, the posi
lives of incorporating the schedule to sewer Little
Harbor and Atlantic Avenue into ihe SAFJ far out-
weigh Ihe negatives
Let's review recent events: First, the CEES arti-
cle was unfairly labeled illegal — the voters saw
through this, then there was an attempt to stop
the vote at Town Meeting — the voiers saw
through this. too. Now. despite a resounding opin-
ion voiced at Town Meeting, members of your
Board continue to question Ihe article's legality.
The voters see through this as well.
At a recent meeting some of your members
made statements attacking the credibility of the
work of our Tow n's engineering firm. Clearly the
voters will see through this as an attempt lo blame
someone else for the Town's current assessment
by the state as "non-compliant."' Despite recent
correspondence and a meeting last week with the
DEP. this Town continues to embrace the opinion
that it is in full compliance. Despite offers from
the State to address each of the Board of
Selectmen's concerns about incorporating the
Town's own schedule into the SAFJ. and the
State's willingness to go above and beyond to
secure a settlement, some of our officials continue
to put up roadblocks, ignoring the benefits that
such a settlement w ill give our citizens.
While this situation could be turned into an
opportunity to create many positives for our town,
your Board's resistance in negotiating with the
Slate, the refusal to accept the will of Town
Meeting, and your attempts to impugn the cred-
ibility of our own engineers is a complete dis-
service to our citizens. Recent statements and
events demonstrate an unwillingness to own up to
our responsibility and a lack of accountability by
various boards, as well as a blatant disregard for
the will expressed at Town Meeting.
There are many potential benefits for the citi-
zens at stake, such as resolution of a serious pol-
lution issue in one of our most valued resources,
amnesty for non-compliant systems, and a real
chance to secure sewers for existing residents,
including many seniors, before new develop-
ments. I encourage your board to LISTEN lo the
message of Town Meeting and work with the State
to formalize its commitment to resolving the
SAFJ in a manner thai will benefit all the residents
of Cohasset.

THE EDITOR
FROM LETTERS, PAGE 8
Takes issue with
To THK EDITO!>:
After reading the "Bobo" article
in the Jan. 21 Mariner. I fell sad
thai several of our wayward Town
leaders continue (he pursuit of their
personal, anti-resident. anti-Town
agendas — agendas that were
rejected by the voters in a landslide
vote at the December 6 Special
Town Meeting.
The statements quoted in the arti-
cle by the Chair of the Board of
Health. Selectperson McMorris.
Town Counsel DeRensis. and
Selectman Spoflbrd are mislead-
ing at best, untrue mostly, and
libelous at worst. Selectmen Chair
Sullivan is not quoted, rellecting
his appKEM latest strategy of using
willing attack dogs.
Many residents are well aware
that our Town laces a number of
crises — financial crises, a leader-
ship crisis, an honesly/opc. ,ncss
crisis, and. transcendingly. a moral
crisis. Those who govern serve at
the will of the governed, and lhat
will is rapidly changing.
We all know what's behind the
unfounded attack on Tulela
Engineering Company — lo try lo
make the Sewer Commission lcx>k
bad because- ibc Commission had
the wisdom and the courage lo
R".isi the scheme of a couple of
selectmen, led by the Chair and
facilitated by Town Counsel
DeRensis. to grab the sew er alloca-
tion authority away from the
Sewer Commission to thai they
could award all ol the lutiire sewer
capacity in the private developers
leaving the 1. 500 residents, includ-
ing children and more item 400
seniors, that live in the Little
Harbor watershed lo continue lo
cope Witt) the decades of lecal col-
ifbrrn pollution, These lew
Cobasset officials don't care if they
libel Tutela and its employees. All
they want is retaliation and delay.
How pathetic!
We also know why Town
Counsel and these few wayward
Town Officials continue the false
claim lhat the "Sewer Hxisling
Residents Fin*" Article, which was
passed at Tow n Meeting in a land-
slide vole, was • illegal." Several
reasons, the must outrageous of
which arc to lr> lo diminish the
voters' o\crw helming rejection of
their misplaced eagerness to serve
the developers ami brush oil the
lownspeople and. as unbelievable
as it was. lo try to deflect attention
from Town Counsel's secret, last
minute attempt lo substitute a touil-
ly different Article in place of the
valid, legally appioved Article-
By legally approved. I mean pre-
pared by the expert municipal law
attorneys at Foley. Hoag. one Of the
top Boston law linns, and then
reviewed and approved by
Cohasset's expert Town
Moderator. Attorney George
Marlelle. all prior to Town
Meeting. We asked Tow n Counsel,
in writing via Chairman Sullivan,
to work w ith us on this Article well
before Town Meeting, and the
request was ignored, so we
engaged a-al independent, profes-
sional experts. Town Counsel's
belated verbal opinion is dead
wrong.
Finally. I can partially agree with
Chairman Bonos statement that
the fecal coiifbrm pollution levels
in the coastal and Little Harbor
waters are still as high as they have
been in pasl years — which means
still 20 to 200 limes above the limit
allowed by law ! It totally escapes
me why he is pleased with this
finding.
The point that Chairman Bobo is
missing here is that such data puts
the lie to the claim that the so-
called "Wastewater Management
Plan" has resolved the area's pollu-
tion problem and sewering is not
needed lo comply with the Court
Order against the Town, The cited
data shows that the "Wastewater
Management Plan." which the
Town tries to claim il has been
implementing over the past five
years, has not made one iota of
reduction in the high pollution lev-
els!
I am not surprised lhat the DEP
and the Attorney General dis-
missed this extremely suspeel
claim out of hand! This "plan"
exists mostly on paper and not in
practice. To try to scam the DEP
with this Fabrication was naive,
indeed foolish!
I remind all concerned that in
February of 2004, the Selectmen
and the Sewer Commission,
including T. >wn Counsel, reviewed
and approved a detailed Town
Status Report submitted to the
DFP/Atlorney General's Office
pursuant to the Second Amended
Final Court Judgment. In this
report, the Town slated that based
on previous studies and evalua-
tions, ihe Town was continuing
implementation of the sewering of
the Little Harbor/Atlantic Avenue-
watershed given "lhat il was the
most economical and envininmen-
lally sound way of eliminating
existing SOUTCCS of pollution to the
adjacent water resources." This
report cited all of the pollution and
other professional studies lhat had
been conducted and Ihe initial
implementalion Steps the Town
had taken during tile- period March,
2000, through January . 2004. Cited
and attached was a detailed land-
ing and Implementation schedule
show ing the- I.H/AA sewer expan-
sion being operational h\ ihe sum-
mer of 2009.
The DFP and the Attorney
General's Office approved ihe
report and the implementation
schedule contained therein, and
requested that all parlies (Town.
DEP. and AG) incorporate the plan
and schedule into the Second
Amended Final Judgment.
Amazingly. Ik-Town officials then
refused!
What led to this abrupt, unex-
pected default by a couple of
Cobaset'S selectmen and Town
Counsel DeRensis, a default that
distressed ihe DFP and the AG s
Office ' I Mr* we all know the
answer to lhat question — the
Cook Estate fiasco!
What happened was that shortly
alter the March. 2(XM. Town
Meeting, just about lOplus weeks
after the- ftteuary. 2(«M. Status
Report was submitted to the
DEP/AG. it was -discovered" thai
Ihe sewage from the proposed
Cook Folate housing development
could not be treated on-site, as
promised at Town Meeting by
Selectmen Chair Sullivan. He
elected, for whatever reasons one
can only conjecture, to renege on
the sewering of LH/AA. to defy
the DEP/ACi. to abandon the sym-
bol 187 tf "Symbol" \s I2ul.500
residents of LH/AA. and to divert
the limited future Central
Treatment Plant sewage capacity
and give souk- of il to the develop-
er of ihe Cook Estate. This diver-
sion was shortly expanded with
proposals lo use all of the future
capacity for other developers as
well.
So here we are. early 2005, just a
few weeks after Town Meeting
voters overwhelmingly rejected
these nefarious betrayals by a few
of our selectmen, and we still have
lo read the trash they spout to the
Mariner, indeed to anyone (left!)
who will listen — about how Ihe
voters are wrong, the Article voted
was "illegal." LH/AA does not
need to be sewered, the sewer
commissioners are bad actors, the
engineering firm is corrupt and its
professional employees are liars,
etc.. etc. For shame! And now
another abuse of office — which
selectman told Mike Buckley not
to pay Tutela Engineering invoices
in order to stop the Sewer
Commission's work lo obtain cost
estimates for the April 2 Town
Meeting LH/AA sewering funding
articles?
Enough! Are they not embar-
rassed when they look into a mir-
ror? Arc Ihey ignoring all of the
other problems, wasted spending,
and divisiveness that they caused
in our Town throughout 2004?
Continued escalating malfeasance
of office is not acceptable. The
public trust is being trampled.

Disputes Bote's remarks
To Tin Editor:
I'm w riting this to respond to the
article published in the Mariner on
Jan. 21. 2005. headlined "Health
Board Chairman Unhappy wilh
Engineering Finn." The article
includes many quotes from indi-
viduals who apparently have set
OUl to cripple ihe planned sewer-
ing of Little Harbor and Atlantic
Avenue.
There are those on Ihe Board of
Selectmen who are committed to
using available capacity to service
new pollution sources created by
die Avalon Bay. Cedarmere and
Northland developments.
Certainly ihe environment w ill not
benefit by their being sewered
before vie lake care of existing
pollution. One sure beneficiary of
that policy is the developers' prof-
it.
Let me illustrate why many ol
ihe Statements quoted have
absolutely no foundation in fact
and others are misleading al best.
First, some facts:
The DEP requested thai the
Town provide an update on
progress toward satisfying the
conditions/actions lhat Town offi-
cials agreed to when they signed
Ihe Second Amended Final
Judgment. Mr. Coughlin of Tutela
was requested to provide that
update, because no one else had
the knowledge and expertise to do
il. It was necessary work, properly
aulhori/ed and efficiently carried
(Hit.
Mr. Coughlin was asked lo sign
the letter of transmittal, because
the Board of Selectmen and the
Acting Town Manager did mn
want (0 sign it. perhaps because
Ihe facts set forth could be detri-
mental to their position regarding
the Second Amended Final
Judgment (SAFJ). Their position
is the SAFJ was already satisfied.
Mr. Coughlin is correct in staling
that any interested or involved
Tow n official had plenty of oppor-
tunity to rev iew the contents of the
update long before il was transmit-
ted to the DFP i For example. I. as
a Sewer Commissioner, reviewed
the attachments over a month
before ihey were finally sent.) The
Sewer Commission (contrary lo
Mr. Bono's claims) has always
been fully aware oi any activity
Ttttela undertakes on its behalf.
Mr. Coughlin is a professional
engineer held In ihe highest regard
by all who serve on ihe Sewer
Commission, past and preseni
Tliis respect is engendered not
only by his professional compe-
tence and specific expertise, but
his personal integrity as well.
It is not true that Tulela was cho-
sen without considering other
firms. In 2001, the Town Manager
issued a Request for Qualifications
(RFQ) regarding "Wastewater
Management Planning for the
Link- Harbor CoOecnon System
Expansion." The RFQ was com-
prehensive in scope and draw n up
by ihe- Town Manager I served "ii
the panel that interv iewed respon-
dents to the RFQ. The panel con-
sisted of the Town Manager, repre-
sentatives from the Planning
Department, Sewer Commission.

Christmas tree pickup
help appreciated
To the Editor:
The Project Safeguard com-
minee would like lo thank the
community volunteers who
helped with our annual
Christmas Tree Pickup, along
with the loyal customers who
gave us their business. The
proceeds from this fundraiser
will go toward Project
Safeguard-sponsored pro-
grams for preteens and teens
and their parents to deal with
issues such as stress, bullying,
and substance abuse preven-
tion.
Thanks to the following vol-
unteers who picked up trees
over the first two weekends in
January: Bill Chisolm. David
Game, Coleman Nee and
Wallace St. John from
Cohasset; and Steve Gammon
and Joe Spangenburger from
Scituate. Thanks, too. to the
Moskow and Oronte families
for lending their pickups
trucks.
Project Safeguard is a com-
munity group comprised of
parents, clergy, and school
representatives. In addition to
its annual Christmas Tree
Pickup, it receives funding
from the Cohasset PSO, the
Social Service League, and
local churches.
This month as Sally steps
down and Coleman comes on
board, the committee is look-
ing for new community mem-
bers to help with its programs.
For more information, please
contact Rev. Cliff Cutler (ccut-
ler@ststephenscohasset.org)
or Nancy Oddleifson
(FIVEodds@aol. com).

Community Reps
Town should commit to
sewering Little Harbor
To the Editor:
It's rare when the Town has
the opportunity to do the best
it can for the environment and
in the process, save significant
unnecessary expenses for hun-
dreds of its residents. Now that
opportunity is staring
Cohasset right in the face!
For much of the past year,
the Selectmen and other
boards have been considering
adding the schedule for the
Little Harbor/Atlantic Avenue
sewer project to the Town's
agreement with the
Massachusetts Departmeni of
Environmental Protection
(DEP) to clean up pollution in
those areas. If they agree lo do
thai, there are two big poten-
tial savings for the owners of
450 Cohassei homes:
People who sell their homes
may not have lo upgrade iheir
septic systems to meet Title V
requirements, as long as Ihey
are not a public health risk.
The DEP granted amnesty to
several other towns in similar
situations, because they didn't
feel it made sense to put in an
expensive septic system to
cover the gap of a few years.
They said they didn't want to
see homeowners have to pay
twice. Cohasset would receive
more "points" in the competi-
tion for low interest loans from
the State Revolving Fund
(SRF). This means that we
could move up the list for state
loan funds, and the interest
rate likely would be lower.
Thus, the sewer project could
be cheaper for the Cohasset
citizens who ultimately pay
the bill.
On the other side of the coin,
if our officials continue to
avoid committing to the pro-
ject, the State could again call
for fines from the Town or
immediate inspections and
replacement of all systems in
our area that don't meet Title
V (a big chunk of them). The
latter solution undoubtedly
would consume a lot of our
famous ledge, not to mention
our eardrums!
While I understand that our
officials are worried thai some
unforeseen financial problem
could interrupt the schedule. I
believe (he DEP is willing to
consider a clause that would
allow for an unavoidable
delay.
I hope that all the environ-
mentalists in Town, and every-
one who likes to save money,
will get together and encour-
age our Selectmen to sign an
agreement with the State to
finish the Little
Harbor/Atlantic Avenue sewer.
It's one of those rare times to
"just do it!"

Community Blood drive is Feb. 2
The Red Cross has sched-
uled the next Cohasset
Community Blood Drive for
Wednesday. Feb.- 2. The
Blood Drive will be at St.
Anlhony Parish Center al the
corner of South Main St. and
Summer St. from I to 7 p.m.
As in the past, baby-sitting
will be provided from 3 to 5
p.m. Ample parking is avail-
able.
The best way to give blood
for [he first time is to come
with a friend who is experi-
enced in the donation
process. New donors usually
find the procedure easy anil
painless and most come back
regularly lo donate. The Red
Cross area community
requires more than 1.600
pints of blood per day to
meel usual demand for blood
and blood products. Every
blood donation is an oppor-
tunity to help an accident
victim, a surgical paiient. or
a child battling leukemia, to
name a few.
Most people can give blood
through the American Red
Cross. Potential donors musi
be at least 17 years of age, in
good health and weigh over
110 pounds. In most cases,
donors may give if they are
on medication, but should
know the names of these
medications.
The Red Cross always
counts on a good turnout
when ii visits Cohasset so
please respond, if possible,
when a volunleer from one of
the church, civic, corporate
or social organizations calls.
New donors are welcome
and especially needed. To
register and make an
appointment for donating al
a specific lime or if you have
any questions, call Kevin or
Ann O'Connor at 781-383-
1290. You can also call the
Red Cross at 1-800-448-

Skippers sink
Clippers' ship
Lady hoopsters pull out a tough
one against SSL rival Norwell
By Mark Goodman
MGOODMAM49CNC.COM
The unpredictable insanity of
South Shore League girls basket-
ball continues.
Last week, it appeared as
though Norwell was set to make
a run toward first place on the
heels of an impressive win over
Harwich.
Cohasset. however, had other
ideas.
I-ed by Casey Anderson's 21
points and solid supporting
efforts from the likes of Lacey
Richardson. Chelsea Grossman
and Nicole Whitney, the
Skippers came away with a 42-
39 win on their home floor last
Friday night.
The result leaves Cohasset,
Norwell and Carver all tied for
second place with a 4-2 SSL
record entering this week's
action - whenever the mow
decides to let said action com-
mence. Abington is one game
ahead with a 5-1 league mark.
The Clippers had a chance to
send the game into overtime with
a three in the closing seconds.
The defense of Cohasset's Mia
Lieb-Lappen forced a tough shot,
which Anderson rebounded as
time expired.
Sophomore Katelyn
Stravinsky had IS in the loss for
Norwell. while classmate
Elizabeth Ropi anil senior Rachel
Lewis each had nice games with
eight points apiece.
Norwell head coach Bruce
Emerson thought the difference
between the two teams came on
the glass
"I thought Cohasset out-
rebounded us tremendously," he
said. "For pretty much the Whole
night, we were held to one shot
on each possession. On the other

MG00DMAN9CNC.C0M
When Norwell and Cohasset
square off on the ice tonight, both
teams will have something to
prove.
The Clippers are coming off of
a lopsided 7 2 home loss to Latin
Academy last Friday, and will be
looking to get back on track with
a vital league win.
The Skippers, meanwhile, are
2-5 (1-2 in the South Shore
League) and essentially already
fighting for their tournament
lives. Cohasset head coach Ben
Virga says his team's game
against Norwell is a must-win if
his team is to have a reasonable
shot of qualifying for the postsea-
son.
"The time for motivational
talks is over," Virga said
Tuesday. "It's time to win."
The Skippers coach says the
key for his team will be to out-
skate and move the puck faster
than their opponents. He says he
does not want to see his team get

Old nemesis
Wayland hands
CHS its first
dual meet loss
By Mark Goodman
MGO0DMAN#C NC.C0M
A usual nemesis struck again
for Cohasset wrestling last
Saturday.
As they ha\ e done each of the
last six years in dual meet action.
Wayland defeated the Skippers,
this time by a 40-25 score.
The loss was Cohasset's first
on their dual meet record this
year. Cohasset and Wayland
were part of a quad meet that
also featured Whitman-Hanson
(whom Cohasset beat, 60-12)
and Durfee (45-22, Cohasset).
The Skippers' dual meet mark
is now 13-1.
The good news is that, while
Wayland may have the upper
hand in the head-to-head meets.
Cohasset has come back to
outscore them in the state tour-
"Wayland is good at all three phases:
neutral, down and on top. It shows us that
we have to be good at all three as well,
which we usually are, but there is definitely
room for improvement."
Cohasset head coach Tonn Sweeney
nament every single time.
Head coach Torin Sweeney is
hopeful that will be the case
again this year. He also said the
loss Should serve as a wake-up
call to his team to let them know
that, while they are very good,
they are not inv incible and have
some things to work on.
"Wayland showed us what we
need to improve on. We need to
work on the little things, such as
finishing our moves," Sweeney
said. "Wayland is good at all
three phases: neutral, down and
on top. It shows us that we have
to be good at all three as well,
which we usually are. but there
is definitely room for improve-
ment."
Six Cohasset wrestlers won
their matches against Way land.
The difference on the score-
board came as a result of a cou-
ple Cohasset forfeits and
Wayland earning a couple more
pins.
The top performers against
Wayland for the Skippers were
senior Jon Littaucr 1 1 Impound
weight CUSS) and sophomore
Nick Cambi (215), both of
whom won \ia pin
Also dominating against
Wayland were senior Kevin
Dinsmore (130), junior Dave
McKenna (145) and senior Joe
Kehoe (152). Dinsmore won via
a 16-7 decision, with McKenna
(9-1 ) and Kehoe ( S- 1 1 also win-
ning easily.
The sivth winner was Tim
Toomey in the 135-pound di\i-
sion. Toomey won two meets on
the day, the latest sign that he
was turning into a pretty solid
wrestler
Unfortunately. Toomey broke
his elbow in practice Tuesday, a
development Sweeney was
lamenting the day after.
"He picked up his fifth and
sixth wins of the year, and was
really coming along." Sweeney
said. "| Assistant | coach I Pete |
Buckley and I were just talking
about him the other day. saying
how Toomey was really starting
to turn the comer."
The injury leaves the Cohasset
coaches in a bind when it comes
(0 their line-up tor remaining
dual meets. They had been jug-
gling Dinsmore and Toomey
between the 130- and 135-
pound classes, with Dinsmore
taking on the tougher opponent
between the two.
Now. Cohasset will have to
forfeit the six points in one of

into an overly physical affair,
saying such a contest "can drag
us into our bad habits."
From the Norwell perspective,
head coach Paul Hurley says his
team needs to play strong From
the start. Such was not the case
against Latin Academy, where
Norwell found themselves down
5-0 after one period.
"We just have to come out
aggressive." Hurley said. "If we
don't come oul ready to play in
that first period, we're going to

As sve gel closer lo ihe league and
slate competitions, the Norwell-
Cohassei gymnastics learn luned up
w ith another team victory lasl week.
Going up againsi a quality team in
Notre Dame. Nor-Coh received
good scores from a number of gym-
nasts to earn a 1 26.75- 1 2 1.1 team
win.
In the all-aniund. Nancy Durkin
earned a 32,7. As has been the case-
all season long, the Cohassel senior
slaved very consistent, scoring in the
low S's in all four events.
Norwell's Erin Kelly and
Samanlha Rosen were among the
team's other leading performers.
Kelly placed in all three events she
participated in. including an 8.2 on

Stars put on a passing clinic and
skated to an 8-1 decision over
Cape Cod Canal.
Early on. Cape Cod s goal-
tender robbed Stephen
Harrington and then Patrick
Bun-hill on ihe rebound. Hut the
Stars' passing paid off when
Harrington hustled to the puck in
the corner, skated behind (he net,
and gave a wraparound pass to
Chris Carpenter in front.
Carpenter slammed it into the
left side for a 1-0 lead with 3:38
left.
Cape Cod tied ii with two min-
utes left on a rebound goal.
Early in the second. DJ. Evans
kept the puck in to Chris
Carpenter. Carpenter tired from

score would have been more
one-sided except for the Cape

Carpenter. Trevor Salmon, and
Jake Durkin were all robbed of
goals on stellar saves.
Early in the third. EJ. Culhane

Selectmen to revisit Cedarmere LIP units application
.COM
Roughly one year ago. the
Board of Selectmen said il would
not bring forward an application
for the affordable portion of the
Cedarmere development to the
Department of Housing and
Community IX'velopment.
Although the project had already
been granted a special permit
from the Planning Board, the
boiird v oted unanimously to deny
the project's request, saying it did
not feel comfortable sending the
application forward when il did
not believe the project — at that
lime without a wastewater dispos-
al plan — w as complete.
However, while the project is
still seeking a municipal sewer
connection as the preferable
method of wastewater disposal, it
w as granted a permit for an on-
site system from the Department
of Environmental Protection in
December, which could affect a
second review of the application.
Hie ho.ird slid Town Counsel will
attend its Feb. I meeting to dis-
cuss the issue.
Bob Sturdy, Stuart Ivimey. and
Michael Westcott of the Planning
Board attended the Jan. 25 meet-
ing of the board and had expected
to discuss the matter in detail.
However, due to a problem with
communication, the board said it
did not realize the Planning Board
was on the agenda to discuss
Cedarmeav However, the two
groups began a dialogue which
showed an obvious difference of
opinion, which could mean next
week w ill yield a lengthy conver-
sation.
Selectmen Chairman Michael
Sullivan said there has been a dif-
ference of opinion regarding
whether the hoard's approval of
ihe units is required for them to
• count." Currently, the town is
try ing to nveet and affordable
housing threshold set by the state
,ind Cedarmere's affordable units
could help the town meet the
guidelines.
Cedarmere is the lirst pmjeel to
Hie under ihe town's Senior
Multi-family Overlav District
bylaw. The 105-unit senior hous-
ing project is slated to be built on
Ihe 4 1 -acre former Hayes Estate
on Beech wood Street. Under the
bylaw, projects are required to
have an affordable component,
and Cedarmere has plans to build
its affordable building as a Local
Initiative Program "units only"
project. LIP projects have been
described as being a 'friendly
40B" which allows towns to
make decisions based more on
their individual needs, including
everything down to the design of
the buildings and the landscaping
plans.
'This is the first time it's been
done." said Sullivan, adding there
have been many questions along
the way. He said in order to help
set the standard moving forward,
it is important for Town Counsel
lo gel involved.
The DHCD regulates all LIP
projects, and as the highest elected
official of the town, the Board of
Selectmen is responsible for sign-
ing ihe application and sending it
to ihe state for approval.
Although the Selectmen have said
without their endorsement the
project won't move forward,
developers as well as the Planning
Board believe the project will sat-
isfy the requirements of the
town's bylaw, even without
Selectmen approval. They have
interpreted the bylaw to mean the
board's endorsement is a prereq-
uisite only to the actual counting
of the units by the DHCD and not
to their eligibility to be counted.
In other words, for the units to
"count" the selectmen need to
sign the application, but currently,
withoul the board's endorsement,
the units are eligible to be counted
in theory, which is all Cedarmere
and the Planning Board says mat-
ters in order lo build.
Sturdy said the Cedarmere
developers have brought their
plans to the state and have been
given verbal approval for their
affordable units. He explained the
project is currently fully permitted
and it will move forward with our
without the board's signature.
However. Sullivan reiterated he
would like to have Town Counsel
present lor the discussion, and it
has not been his understanding the
project can move forward without
the board's endorsement.
Members of the Planning Board
were frustrated the conversation
was not going to take place as
they had thought that night, and
Westcott said while there had
obviously been some miscommu-
nication about the meeting, the
board has known about he situa-
tion with the affordable portion of
the project since last year. He said
in his opinion, the issue has been
"unnecessarily politicized," and
the project is going to be built
vv nether the board likes it or not.
Sturdy said in his view, it is
apparent. "The selectmen don't
really like this (Cedarmere), they
like Cook," which he believes has
held the board back from signing
off on the units.
The town has been working
with developers from Northland
Residential to build a senior hous-
ing project on the Cook Estate,
located on Sohier Street, which
would be the second project to be
tiled under the town's Senior
Multi-family Residence Overlay
District bylaw. The project has
been having trouble finding a
wastewater solution, as it had
been thought the soil on site could
support a system, but testing has
revealed it cannot. The project has
begun trying to gain a municipal
sewer connection, but has beer)
denied by the Sewer Commission
twice. The project is hamstrung
without a means of wastewater
disposal.
Ivimey said if the units are
approved by the selectmen, it will
have no affect on the Cook pro-
ject. Westcott added when the
project is signed off on by the'
state, the town will be able to lake
advantage of 27 units of afford;
able housing which will be able lo
ward off future 40B projects from
coming into town. "What is the
obstacle'.'' he asked.
Town Counsel will be brought
in to discuss the matter at the
Tuesday. Feb. I meeting of the
board, which will begin at 7:30 in
the Selectmen's meeting nx>m;
All are welcome to attend.

No one wants to lose power
even for a lew minutes never
mind several hours, so those
affected on Forest Avenue.
North Main Street. Ml. Hope
Street and Atlantic Avenue
were inconvenienced to say the
least
But over on Glades Road in
Scituate where people had to be
evacuated, high winds downed
power lines and the salt spray
froze the wires to the ground
and to the houses.
Mass Electric workers had to
chip through Ihe ice to make
repairs and weren't able to fin-
ish until late Monday, Graves
said.
A pholo of ice-encased homes

Tuesday's New York Times.
Here in Cohasset. news of the
impended blizzard seni people
by the droves off shopping
rivaling the pre-Christmas rush.
Both Super Stop & Shop and
Shaw's were inundated with
shoppers early Saturday as pre-
dictions said the storm would
hit late that afternoon.
Sandy Litchfield, assistant
grocery manager at Shaw's
said, the store shifts workers
around to have enough help on
hand lor the surge in customers,
who stock up on necessities
like bread and milk. Litchfield,
who lives in Bridgewater.
ended up spending the night at
the supermarket, which was
open Sunday despite the storm.
Bob Dunbar, a manager at
Blockbuster, said the store had
long lines on Saturday as cus-
tomers rented movies - mostly
new releases - to keep them
entertained during Ihe blizzard.
He said people were in line out-
side before the store opened at
10 a.m.
Wilkens Jeanty. general man-
ager at Papa Gino's in Cohasset

open until 7 p.m. Saturday and

Pepperoni because it's the easi-
est to make, he said.
Andy Hailer. manager at
Curtis Liquors in Tedeschi
Plaza, said the store is always
packed before a storm because
people panic. He said people
stock up on "their favorites."
He said Curtis Liquors closed
early Saturday and didn't open
Sunday - a decision he could
help make after a drive out for a
different kind of beverage.
During the height of the storm
Sunday morning. Hailer drove
from his home on Branch Street
in Scituate to Leo's Exxon to
get a cup of hoi Dunkin Donuts
coffee. It took him two hours,
but it was worth it. he said.
"I couldn't see through Ihe
snow." he said. "Thai's why I
knew we wouldn't be open that
day."
Police Chief James Hussey
said there were no major prob-
lems and praised the hard work
of the DPW in keeping
Cohasset streets passable.
He said a couple of police
cruisers slid into snow banks
while on patrol and one of the
vehicles had some minor dam-
age. The police have two, four-
wheel drive vehicles that were
called into action during the
storm because even with chains
on the wheels, the cruisers were
having trouble on the slippery
roads.
Fire Chief Roger Lincoln said
the storm did take a toll on his
department.
"The storm didn't go well for
us," said Fire Chief Roger
Lincoln. at Tuesday's
Selectmen's meeting, although
he said he didn't care to elabo-
rate. "Let's just say we pulled
it out and there was no damage.
We'll leave it at that."
DPW Supt. Carl Sestito said
the town's 10 trucks and rough-
ly 10-12 private contractors
hired by the town worked
around the clock during the
blizzard. The DPW plows 37
miles of accepted roads and II
private ways. The state takes
care of Rle. 3 A. Sestito said.
He said when the snow starts,
the trucks put a mix of sand
with a little salt on the road that
creates a brine that cars chew
up. Then, when the snow picks
up. the trucks plow and add
more sand and salt as the storm
dies down.
Snow that is pushed into
mountains in Cohasset Village
is later hauled off in trucks and
transported to the Sandy Beach
Parking lot. "I haven't seen that
much piled up in years." Sestito
said about the mounds.
Sestito's assessment of the
storm was that while it was
lough to deal with, it could
have been a lot worse.
"There was no real flooding
and no downed wires." he said.
Sestito said he sent all his
workers - who had been
putting in 18-hour days —
home at 6 p.m. Tuesday night
knowing more snow was due
on Wednesday.
Cohasset schoolchildren had
an early winter vacation this
week. Schools were closed
Monday and Tuesday in the
aftermath of the weekend bliz-
zard. They were closed
Wednesday and Thursday as
more snow blanketed the town.
Emergency Management
Director Arthur Lehr said there
were no evacuations during the
weekend blizzard. The Second
Congregational Church Hall
was ready and manned just in
case, he said.
"We were lucky the ice was
not that bad over on Atlantic-
Avenue, which is prone to
flooding." Lehr said. "The
storm moved relatively quickly
and was in and out.
"Hull and Scituate are much
lower." he explained.
"Cohasset has the ledges that
protects us from the wave
wash."

Why 2005 could be a record
breaking year for making
money in real estate
Robert Allen's legendary workshop reveals how to change your financial future in 90 days or less
Years ago, when I invented the now world-famous "No Money Down"
real estate system, people thought it simply couldn't be done... Buying
real estate without investing a dime of your own money! But, I have
proven it can be done, year after year, in all kinds of housing markets. Perhaps
you've seen me on TV — or perhaps you've read one of my bestselling books.
I've shown millions that just about anyone can make a fortune in real estate.
But I have to tell you, in all my years of showing people how to create wealth
through real estate, I believe it's never been as easy as it is today. Plus, I
believe you can make more money now in real estate than ever before.
Before the end of the year, you could be my next real estate millionaire —
perhaps even a multimillionaire. Even if you're stone cold broke right now,
you can still become richer than most Americans will ever be. The profit
floodgates have truly opened for so many of my students. I believe you too
can take advantage of all the lasting wealth that real estate can provide.
And I'd like to tell you how in my updated workshop. Creating Wealth with
Real Estate.
1 wallet. Give
SAM FRANCISCO
Challenge #7; Find fast wealth in
any city, town, or neighborhood
When I first developed my revolutionary system for buying
real estate, I very publicly challenged the media to... "Send
me to any city in America. Take away my wallet. Give
me $100 for living expenses. In 72 hours,
I'll buy an excellent piece of property,
using none of my own money." Keep in
mind, I would have no cash to invest. No
connections- No firsthand knowledge of the real estate
market where I was going. But I would have my new system
for buying real estate. And that meant none of the above
mattered.
I didn't buy one property. I bought seven!
The Los Angeles rimes took me up on my gutsy challenge.
In just 57 hours. I had taken title to not one, but seven
properties — adding 1722.000 in assets to my real estate
portfolio. That's the equivalent of more than J1 0,000
an hour.
ST. LOUIS
Challenge #2; Take someone from
unemployed to over $100,000 in equity
No better example of "ANYBODY CAN DO THIS"_ exists than
when I made another major public challenge. As you might
be able to guess, I'm not shy about proving my
system works. So I declared. .."Send me to
any unemployment line in America. Let
me select someone that is broke, out of
work, and discouraged. In two days time,
I'll teach my strategies for Creating Wealth. In 90 days, that
person will be back on his/her feet with J 5, 000 in the bank."
It was in St. Louis. Missouri, where I pulled a couple out of the
unemployment line and placed them on the path to wealth. Within
90 days, these first-timers earned more than S5.000 in ash. But
that was just getting started. For within the following 12 months,
they garnered more than $100,000. It changed their lives forever.
Think of how an extra $100,000 or more could change vour life
and improve your family's future. What dreams have you put
aside that $100,000 could reawaken?

NEW YORK
Challenge #3: Prove anyone can do it
I've become famous as America's leading expert on
purchasing real estate with no money down. I've been
interviewed in newspaper, and on radio and TV. In fact, Regis
Philbin challenged me on the spot to prove my
system worked for anyone, i selected a
young woman right out of Regis' studio
audience and guided this first timer to
earning more than $20,000 in 90 days. And
now, I'd like to pull you out of your chair and invite you to
discover why my powerful and internationally acclaimed
Creating Wealth with Real Estate program has been so hugely
rewarding for people across the country — and why it can also
be your path to substantial wealth.
Your turn to succeed
Can you become a millionaire? Dozens of my students have. At
the FREE preview of my workshop, you'll see real-life examples of
how my powerful wealth creation strategies have helped people
jump into
Challenge #4: Make you my next millionaire! STARTS NOW!
I've proved time and again that my system can work
just about anywhere, anytime, and for just about
anyone — even people who are flat broke. Now, I'd
like to prove it cap WQrk for yog.
In fact, my big mouth COUld make you a millionaire.
That's because I've challenged myself to create
millionaires all across America. Yup, I went right for
the "M" word: millionaire. Raised a few eyebrows
with that one. But remember, you don't need money
in the bank to buy real estate. You don't even need
good credit. All you need is my Creating Wealth with
Real Estate system and the personal gumption to go
out and apply it.
True Stories. True Success.
"Right now, I have a positive cash flow of 52,800 on one
property."
— Richard Douglas, New Jersey
"We didn't take anything out of our pocket, and we bought a
S2S0.000 property that gives us a $900 monthly cash flow."
-Guy Bums. Nevada
"I bought two pieces of property and made $25,000 in 90
days. It's so easy to do this stuff, it's amazing."
— Gary Harris, Missouri
These are proven methods — they work. You can make
525.000 to 535.000 in a matter of 60 days or less. "
Dmetr,n Cla.rvy.irsn lllin/lic
— rresion riemmg, Illinois
"I just sold my first project; my net profit after all costs was
565.000. 1 received the check on my 40th birthday."
— Henning Van Deusen- Jensen, California
"Today has been the best day of our real estate careers. We
sold our fourth house. This will put our net worth to around
51.000.000."
-John (Chuck) Neuschafer. Georgia
Now it's your turn to take a
step toward real wealth
The wealth is out there. I will show you how it's
possible to find it and grab it. Take a life-changing
step toward financial independence for yourself and
your family today. The road (it's more of a
superhighway actually) to millionaire status begins
right here. Right now. I'm hoping to create at least
1,000 millionaires. And I'd like to count you among
them. There's no telling when the free preview of
my workshop will be back in your area because it's
simply impossible for me to bring my famous
workshop to every city. Grab this unique
opportunity to discover hidden wealth opportunities
in real estate.
Bring someone you care about
If you have a friend or family member who wants to
increase their wealth, bring them to this FREE
empowering event. I believe there's never
been a better time to invest in real estate. Forecasts
call for soaring demand for homes and rising prices.

this historic trend to personal riches.

Room for romance
Treat your honey to a special
stay in a Boston hotel
By FRAN GOLDEN
HERALD TRAVEL EDITOR
Nolhin' says lovin" like a
night in a greal hotel
room. So with
Valentine's Day nearly upon us we
checked out Boston hotels to find
the best of the best when it comes to
inspiring romance. Hey. it was a
tough job but someone had to do it.
History and romance
The Fairmont Copley Plaza 138
St. James Ave. 617-267-5300.
ww.fairmont.com/copleyplaza
The grande dame of Boston
hotels, this Back Bay property has
always had our favorite grand
lobby, all gold gilt, soaring ceilings,
marble columns and crystal chan-
deliers. And now. thanks to a $34
million renovation, the guesinxims
are something to talk about, too.
The nicely redone rooms include
eight themed suites. To us. the epit-
ome of romance Boston style is the
John F. Kennedy Library and
Museum suite (other romantic
options include the Boston Pops
and Museum of Fine Arts suites).
The historic decor of the apanmenl-
si«d Kennedy suite includes photo
reproductions of the Kennedy clan.
A romantic shot of the 35th presi-
dent and Jackie sailing graces the
bedroom wall. Nice touches include
a copy of "Jackie Kennedy. The
White House Years" photo txx>k on
the living room coffee table. And
you can order room service from
the Oak Room. The 1912 hotel has
an impressive romantic history:
Elizabeth Taylor and Richard
Burton had their second honey-
moon at the property. The Oval
R(x>m continues as a popular wed-
ding spot. The Fairmont Copley's
Romance Weekend package, avail-
able through the end of the year, is
$274 and includes breakfast for two
from room service or in the Oak
Room and a chilled bottle of Moel
& Chandon champagne. Upgrade
to the JFK suite (or one of the other
suites i lor another $300. Regular
room rates are from $249; suites
from $999.
Victorian splendor
The Charles Street Inn 94 Charles
St. 617-314-8900;
www.charlevstreetinn.com A stroll
on Charles Street is romantic on its
own. Stay at the gorgeous I860
Charles Street Inn and you're sure
to wow your sweetie. The inn offers
nine moms, each done up in over-
the-top Victorian splendor a' you'll
feel likv you've stepped back 140
years a; and named for a Beacon
Hill resident who made a contribu-
tion to the arts. We think the most
romantic (and sexy) is the Isabella
Stewart Gardner, a front parlor
room blossoming in pink, red and
peach. There's a fluffy queen-sized
bed dressed in Italian linens, a deep
whirlpool tub, a working marble
fireplace (where you can bum a
provided fake log) and a bright bay
window overlooking Charles
Street. Isabella's portrait is above
the bed. This is a place where the
i floors creak and the windows might
nave a draft, but you can curl up and
feel cozy with someone you love.
To avsure the utmost in privacy,
breakfast is served in your room.
There are also complimentary
French chocolates and fruit. Winter
rates are $225 to $275 weekdays
and $255 to $295 weekends.
Romance packages are available
,iu' include dinner at nearby eater-
ies.
Stately and Sexy
The Eliot Hotel 370
Commonwealth Ave. 617-267-
1607; www.eliothotel.com Book a
suite at this historic boutique-style
hotel and you can pretend for the
night you really live on
Commonwealth Avenue, which we
think is just plain cool. But there's
more. The suites here boast an
extravagant toile decor and bed-
rooms with puffy beds made up
with Egyptian cotton linens and Iocs
and lots of pillows that are just plain
romance-inspiring (the mirrored
wall behind the bed helps, too).
Separate living rooms, connected
by French doors, allow you a little
privacy from your loved one if you
need it. OK. the Italian marble bath-
rooms could have bigger tubs, but
why quibble .' You won't want to get
out of bed. Room service is also
somewhat limited. But. downstairs
at Clio and Uni. chef Ken Oringer
creates what has to be the most sen-
sual food in town. Rates for a suite
start at $275. while rooms start at
$235. The hotel's Touch of Paris
package includes suite accommo-
dations, a three-course dinner at
Clio and breakfast for two, for
$450.
Pu^tin• on the Ritz
The Ritz-Carlton. Boston 15
Arlington St. 617-574-7100;
www.ritzcarlton.com There's just
something special about the Ritz
(the old one) and you know it the
second you walk in the door.
There's tradition. There's history.
There's elegance. Of course, all the
guestrooms are lovely, but for an
extravagant celebration, we recom-
mend the Wiaston Churchill suite
with views of the Public Garden
iind the Burberry store on Newbury
Street. Here you can view the
world-famous Yousuf Karsh por-
trait of Churchill during World W;ir
II (it's the original archival photo,
signed by the photographer, who

Shawl ministry supports
Friends of the Homeless
In u combined effort to spread
Chnstmas joy to families living in
shelters in our community the
Hingham-hased Shawl Ministry of
the South Shore recently donated 2(1
handmade shawls to Friends of the
Homeless of the South Shore. The
shawls were given before
Christmas to the mothers of the
families currently residing in the
f riends' housing units while wail-
ing for permanent residences.
Friends of the Homeless, repre-
sented by co-founder Dorothy
Newell, was the first to respond and
accept shawls offered by Rev.
Victoria Gaskell, founder and facil-
itator of this local branch of the
Shawl Ministry. Sue Roche of
Weymouth, a member of the Shawl
group, organi/ed the effort and
delivered the shawls in time for
Christmas, thereby extending a
"wanu hug" both spiritually and lit-
erally.
The local Shaw l Ministry meets
the fourth Saturday of every month
and is open to anyone interested in
knitting or cmcheting as a way to
express the lov e of God to people in
need of care. The sessions close
with a blessing over the works in
progress and the finished shawls.
New participants are always wel-
come and can he taught the needle-
work basics if necessary.
Participants an welcome to create
shawls for any person or pniject
they desire.
The group of 20 participants is
compri ed of people of all ages and
skill levels from many faith tradi-
tions — or non at all — who enjoy
a relaxing atmosphere in which to
meet new friends, share stories and
exchange needlework tips. Knitters
sltould bring size II ur 13 needles
and 3 skeins of yam. Crocheters
need a si/£ M, N. or P hook and 4
skeins of yam. For suggested yams,
patterns and more information
about The Shawl Ministry go to
www.shawlministry.com.
Friends of the Homeless of the
South Shore is currently in its 21st
year of service to families with chil-
dren in need of shelter while they
are searching for permanent hous-
ing. Originally sponsored by the
N a/are ne Church of Hingharn with
a shelter in their former building
located on Hull Street. Friends
began as the "family division" of
DON'T
Father Bill's in Quincy — which
provides meals and ovemighi shel-
ter for single, adult men and
women. They are under contract
with the suite to house families that
may consist of one or two parents or
grandparents caring for children
and/or teenagers, and expectant
mothers.
After incorporating as an entity
separate from the church, the
Friends group added more shelter
sites and a building in Weymouth to
store furniture and household goods
given to families to set up house at
their new locations. Currently they
have shelter sites in Weymouth.
Hingharn. Cohassei and Norwell
which consist of some separate
apartments as well as "communal''
arrangements where families with
individual bednioms share a com-
mon living mom. dining area and
kitchen. In addition there is an
apartment on the lower level of the
Na/arcne's new ly renovated church
building at the comer of North and
Thaxter Streets in Hingharn.
Previously owned by the United
Methodist Church, the building is
now known as the North Street
Community Chapel with Rev. Gift
Hersey as pastor. Including all loca-
tions, a maximum of 25 families
can be accommodated at one time.
In the past families lived in tem-
porary shelter for two to six months.
But w ith no new Section 8 housing
vouchers av ailable and long waiting
lists for public housing vacancies
many families are in shelters for as
long as a year. Federal guidelines
require placement of families with-
in 20 miles of their former home
and attempting to keep children in
the same school they are attending
with a bus nde of less than one hour.
Quincy Community Action assists
families in this area with locating
housing with many organizations
helping with employment and job
training. A new state initiative has
raised the income ceiling for fami-
lies eligible for benefits.
Friends of the Homeless wel-
comes donations of both money and
household items in good condition.
Flspecially needed are twin size
sheeLs, washable tw in blankcls. and
new pillows. For further informa-
tion call Dorothy or Herb al 781-

Uncut and uncensoret
"Woolf has teeth
revival of Albee
classic comes to
Wilbur Theatre
Two prior Broadway-
bound productions of
Edward Albee's "Who's
Afraid of Virginia wboHT
— including the original
1962 production — have
stopped in Boston, but the
legendary playwright
promises audiences fur the
latest revival, which opens
next month at Boston's
Wilbur Theatre, something they haven't seen before.
"This will be the full, iinexpurgaled play." explained Albee at a
recent Ritz-Carlton press conference. "The most interesting differ-
ence between this and the first production is that this time we will
be doing the entire play. In the early 1 960s. there was a little orga-
nization called the Catholic Church which demanded changes to
the script. This time, we will be making no cuts in Boston."
^^^^ Instead of being watered
HbLvV down, the new production
^HW^A^ will be the I0t>-proof original,
•■^■ff^^l complete with the four-letter
/ i words and allegedly blasphe-
mous references that riled the
Church. Set on the campus of
a New England college.
"Who's Afraid of Virginia
Woolf.'" is the story of the
searingly intense relationship
between George and Martha,
a college professor and his
wife, whose booze-fueled
verbal sparring spills over on
a younger couple who've
come for dinner.
Originated on Broadway by
Arthur Hill and Uta Hagen
and immortalized on film by
Richard Burton and Elizabeth
Taylor. George and Martha will be played in this latest production
by Bill Irwin and Kathleen Turner. An original member of San
Francisco's famed Pickle Family Circus. Irwin
appeared on Broadway opposite Sally Field in Albee's '
or Who Is Sylvia?"
Best-known for films like "Body Heat." Romancing the Stone,"
"Peggy Sue Got Married," and "Prizzi's Honor." Turner returns to
Boston for her fourth stage performance following "Cat on a Hot
Tin Roof." "Tallulah," and "The Graduate."
Turner likes her character
very much, even if she hasn't
see\my of her predecessors
in the role. "1 have assiduous-
ly avoided seeing past produc-
tions, but when I read it I was
drawn to the play's black
humor. I seem to have a
predilection for choosing roles
with black humor. This play is
not as well-known for its
humor as it could be and I
want to explore that," says
Turner. "Martha has real pas-
sion, too, which attracts me to |
her. She is not coerced or ham-
pered by convention or forethought. The play is about the 23-year
relationship between George and Martha and the kind of short-
hand that a couple has after all those years."
That the play which won Albee, 76. his first Tony Award is head-
ed back to Broadway for its third run pleases its author, who has
won three Pulitzer Prizes CA Delicate Balance," "Seascape." and
"Three Tall Women") and two more Tony awards ("A Delicate
Balance," "The Goat, or Who is Sylvia?") in the 40 years since.
Albee believes his story of the definitive dysfunctional couple still
I unctions quite well.
"If a play dates, that means ils usefulness is over. This play is
gixxl.lt has endured, because it is still relevant"
"Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf."4 will Ite at llie Wilbur Theatre,
24f>Tremonl Street. Boston. Feb. 10-27. For tickets and informa-
tion, visit the box office or call 617-931-2787.

LIP application for
Cedarmere goes to state
By
SAMBROWN0CNC.COM
Although some members of the
Board of Selectmen were hesitant
to sign, members have agreed lo
send forward an application for
the affordable portion of the pro-
posed Cedarmere senior housing
development to the state.
By signing the application.
Selectmen are essentially endors-
ing (he affordable portion of the
105-unit project, slated lo be built
off Beechwood Street. The appli-
cation will be reviewed by the
Department of Housing and
Community Development, and if
all criteria are met. the 27 afford-
able units w ill be counted toward
the town's affordable housing
slock once building permits are
pulled.
One year ago. Cedarmere
developers came before the board
requesting its signature, which as
the highest elected body in town
is required to endorse the project
in order for il lo be considered by
(he DHCD. Although the project
had already been grained a spe-
cial permit from the Planning
Board, the Board of Selectmen
had voted unanimously lo deny
the project's request, saying il did
not feel comfortable sending the
application forward when it did
nol believe the project — at that
lime without a vtasiewatcr dis-
posal plan — was complete.
However, while the project is still
•t'eking a municipal sewer connec-
tion as the preferable method of

By signing the
application,
Selectmen are
essentially
endorsing the
affordable portion
of the 105-unit
project, slated to
be built off
Deecnwooa otreet.
Even with a wastewater plan in
place, the Board of Selectmen has
some questions il needed
answered before it would sign off
on the units, and Town Counsel
Richard Hucksam attended the
Feb. I meeting lo help provide
some answers.
This is the first time a pniject
has been filed under the town's
Senior Mulli-family Overlay
Residence District bylaw, and
Selectmen said (hey were very
concerned with setting dangerous
precedents for the future. The
bylaw w as drafted to help fend
oil -JOB pnijects and allow (he
town to have more control over
llie pnicess. and this is the town's
first pass at making it work.
Chapter 40B is the state law that
allows developers to skirt local
zoning in exchange for providing
affordable housing. The town is
currently try ing lo meet a 10 per-
cent affordability threshold set by
the stale to get (Hit From under ihe
threat of more 406 projects.
While members of ihe board
said they fell it was their duty to
review the application before
signing off. members of the
Planning Board, which issued a
special permit for the site and
took the project through a very
rigorous public hearing process,
thought the board had had
enough time to review the pro-
ject, as the application for the
affordable housing portion came
before it more than one year ago.
Selectman Ronnie McMorris
said she was concerned the
affordable units weren't invisibly
integrated with the market rate
units and wondered if Ihe DHCD
would approve the project based
on that fact alone. She asked
developer David Calhoun
whether the project could be
changed at this point in time.
Calhoun said the project is fully
permitted and is beyond all
appeal dates and plans would not

the development meets the crite-
ria of Ihe permit it is requesting
— a LIP "Units only" permit.
Selectman Fred Koed said if the
board signs off on the pniject, the
DHCD will ultimately review it
in its entirety and will inform the
town if anything is amiss. He
said il w ill be rejected if it doesn't
meet ihe criteria and il w ill do no
harm for ihe board lo send it on
and gel the process going. Town
Manager Bill Griffin agreed and
said he would be happy to speak
with someone from ihe DHCD
about the project, but the conver-
sation will only happen after the
application arrives. The board

Schools may need $700,000 override
Payroll memo asks employees about check scam
By Samantha Brown
SAMBROWN»CNC.COM
For the first time since budget
discussions began, a figure for a
possible override has been floated,
and although it is only prelimi-
nary, could total 5700*000 for the
schools alone.
At a budget summit held
Wednesday night. Town Manager
Bill Griffin. Director of Finance
Michael Buckley, member, of Ihe
Board of Selectmen. Advisory
Committee and School
Committee. along with
Superintendent Denise Walsh and
School Financial Assisuint Karen
Park, met to discuss both the fiscal
year 2005 and 2(X>6 budget sirua-
rions.
Walsh explained the figures for
the FY05 budget are still not final,
and figures can continue to change
before the close of the fiscal year.
She also said in planning for
FY06. the School Committee has
begun building from the ground
up. beginning with a /ero based
budget, while following the
Strategic Plan, ihe schools have
formulated a budget to assess the
district's needs.
However. Selectman Rob
Spofford said it is important to
have firm figures for FY05 before
moving on to FY06. He said he
has received many questions from
ihe community regarding what
FY05 will look like when it's over
and he hasn't been able to pros ide
that information Walsh said at
this time, those numbers are not
available.
Spofford asked. "What happens
if the year s done and we have a
shortfall.'"
Town Manager Bill Gnffin said
if there is a shortfall for the FY05
budget when the final numbers
come in. Town Meeting will need
to approve paying for it. If the
numbers are not known at the time
of the Annual Town Meeting, slat-
ed for April 2. a Special Town
Meeting will need to be called for
that item alone. II Town Meeting
votes it down, the town will be left
with an illegal deficit and il will be
corrected when the lax rate is set.
Because figures cannot he nailed
down on the school's side, there is
no way of knowing exactly what
the town could be asked to con-
tribute for the FY' 16 budget.
Although the budget has been
built on the needs oi the school
department, because needs have
nol been factored in correct!) in
previous years, Walsh said u has
been working wilh a "rolling
deficit." and this is the year where
the schools need to RrrantiaJJ)
catch up.
However. Selectman Ralph
Donnil/er said residents needs to
know what the school department
cannot live without and asked.
"How much do we tell people we
need lor an overrule'' Buckley

amount he is suggesting and ihe

Cohasset's Avery, others
helping with Hull bird count
Data to help
determine effect
of wind turbine
By John Galluzzo
CORRESPONDENT
It was not how she envi-
sioned spending New Year's
Eve. Her husband wanted to
go skiing, but instead.
Cohasset's Sally Avery said
she wanted to stand atop Hull's
capped landfill lor at least 20
minutes and count birds.
Avery, an expert birder and
volunteer for various local
environmental organizations,
spent part of every Friday in
December at the landfill as pan
of the Weir River Watershed
Association's and Mass
Audubon's joint volunteer bird
monitoring program.
Three birders (Avery and
Hull's Helen Cross and Nancy
Swirka) taking censuses each
Friday from early December
through the commencement of
construction of the new wind
turbine in March will provide
data that will help all of the
organizations involved, includ-
ing the Hull Municipal Light
Plant, estimate the potential for
wildlife impacts with the
blades of the windmill. Swirka
covers the early morning 20-
minute shift. Cross the mid-
day shift and Avery the early
afternoon in a program
designed by Mass Audubon
Field Ornithologist Simon
Perkins.
"I've been lucky with the
weather." said Avery, standing
aside a pile of dirt excavated
during recent test borings.
"Given it's the winter it really
could be quite onerous up
here."
From the spot of the boring,
strewn with hall-buried arti-
cles of clothing, rubber boots,
tires and who knows what else.
Avery, Cross and Swirka sur-
vey a 360-degree sweep of
about a 100-meter radius.
Thus far. there have been plen-
ty of all three common ty pes of
gulls and more starlings than
any of them have ever wanted

to see. [Starlings, pigeons and
F.nglish house sparrows, as
imports that have negatively
affected native bird popula-
tions, are the only birds not
protected by the Migratorv
Bird Act of 1918.1
Every once in a while, some-
thing interesting will happen
up on that landfill, as ii did the
day Avery showed up late and
was taken aback when she saw
a white pelican Hying right
towards her. a true rarity for
Hull. "That one would have
been close," she said
When word first leaked out
that the town had selected the
landfill as a potential she for
Hull Wind II.: Samantha Woods
and lite other members of the
Weir River Watershed
Association immediately
began lo ask themselves and
Others whether or not such a
project would have any nega-
tive impact on the ecosystem
of the state-designated Area of
Critical Environmental
Concern (ACECi and the Weir
Riser Estuary Park.
"There are no good
answers." Woods explained.
"You can't translate one site to
another in terms of potential
impact." In other words, no
matter how' much data is col-
lected elsewhere, because of
the uniqueness of the airspace
of the watershed as a Byway
for migrating birds, there sim-
ply may not be a match out
there; hence, the study.
Several problems exist with
the short, three-month or so
window the groups have to
record the necessary data.
First, they are missing both the
spring and fall migrations,
when avian traffic w ill be al its
heaviest Second, no records
are being taken of nighttime
flights. And third, a single-
year's census would not be
enough to draw specific con-
elusions on potential impacts.
as migration numbers can vary
from year to year. Finally, an
osprey pole near the landfill
begs the question of potential
danger to the nesting family,
although birds of prey expert
Norman Smith, director of
Mass Audubon's Blue Hills
Traliside Museum in Milton
feels the birds will be fine.
Still, even with all of these
concerns. Woods has been
pleased with the Town's
response to the request for the
survey. "There's no protocol
in place in terms of permitting,
and no requirement for the
town to have to do the study."
she said. "They just chose to
do the right thing. They did
more than they had to."
Similar discussions are
occurring all across
Massachusetts, as more than
200 turbines. 130 on
Nantucket Sound alone, have
been proposed in various com-
munities. According to a posi-
tion statement on wind energy
released by Mass Audubon this
past fall. "The potential envi-
ronmental risks of w ind energy
development can be reduced
by the development of respon-
sible and informed standards
for siting wind energy facili-
ties. The development of wind
energy in Massachusetts
should also include standards
for the installation and decom-
missioning of these facilities.
Unfortunately, our state and
federal governments have
failed to establish such stan-
dards."
Much like with cell towers in
recent years, windmill con-
struction projects in
Massachusetts at this point
pre-empt legislation, sneaking
turbines into place before the
bell tolls, as it were.
"Of the renewable energy
options currently available."
according to Mass Audubon,
"wind power has the greatest
potential to mitigate the harm-
ful environmental effects of
rapid climate warming caused
by the burning of fossil fuels.
Technology to harvest wind is
among the more advanced,
widely available, and environ-
mentally benign of the renew-
able energy options. While all
energy choices have environ-
mental impacts, the potential
environmental risks associated
with the operation of wind
energy facilities must be evalu-
ated against the proven
destructive effects associated
with the production and con-
sumption of fossil fuels."
"We have to balance the
potential for bird impacts lo
the benefits." said Woods.
"Does a small number of dead
birds a year measure up against
the shutting down of a strip-
mining operation in the
Midwest? "
Even with the potential lor
avian impacts in their chosen
area of environmental steward-
ship, the Weir River Watershed
Association feels a wind tur-
bine is a positive step.
"We are in support of renew -
able energy." said Woods.
"We should, though, offset the
impact by promoting conser-
vation and informing people
about our natural resources."
A new turbine, for instance,
should not come with the
notion of just more available
energy being thrown into the
grid for careless use. but with a
message to conserve as much
energy as possible.
For at least the next three
months. Avery. Swirka and
Cross will continue watching
the skies, counting starlings
and differentiating between
black-backed and ring-billed
gulls. Woods will keep com-
piling the data, and Mass
Audubon will maintain its
advocacy for slate- mandated
protocols for windmill siting.
In March. Hull's second wind-
mill will be put in place.
"It's coming, whether we like
it or not." said Woods. "We
can just hope there won't be
anything detrimental."

committee going," he said, which
would begin doing research
solely on whether it would be a
viable opportunity for the
town, and where it could be
located.
Dunn said from the research
he has done, the wind turbine
Hull installed three years ago is
anticipated to yield a 7 year
payoff, and has a roughly 20-
25 year life span. "By year
three, we'd be halfway paid
off." he said. Dunn added with
the current bill the school
department is facing for under-
budgeted energy costs, having
a wind turbine in Cohasset
might make sense, especially
because Hull is so close and its
program has essentially served
as a template for other turbine
sites.
Although wind turbines are
said to be non-polluting energy
sources, one of the major con-
cerns over the years regarding
installing wind turbines is the
possible noise pollution.
However. "You don't hear the
one in Hull." said Brown,
adding no matter what the wind
speed, the blades are controlled
to rotate at a predetermined
constant. In addition, he said
the smallest gusts of wind trav-
One of the main objectives of the committee
would be to investigate the possibility of
installing a wind turbine i
eling at roughly 10 miles per
hour can set the turbine spin-
ning, so it doesn't have to be an
extremely windy day to pro-
duce energy.
In addition to looking at har-
nessing wind energy. Brown
said the town should be look-
ing at using solar energy for
power as well. He suggested
having a class in school over-
see the project, which could
potentially yield grant money
to purchase the equipment.
"It's amazing what you can
do." he said, with the power of
the sun. pointing out many
highway signs which used to
be powered by diesel are now
solar powered.
Brown said it would be his
suggestion to form a committee
of nine to work on the project,
but Dunn said. "I was thinking
of something leaner and mean-
er." perhaps a committee of
between three and Five.
Selectmen Chairman Michael
Sullivan said he thinks five
members would be sufficient
and said if the committee needs
to be enlarged in the future,
that can be done.
While Brown said he thinks
the committee is an important
one. he does not plan on being
a member. However. Dunn
said he would love to partici-
pate, and Sullivan encouraged
him to seek out residents with
expertise or an interest in alter-
native energy sources to join
the committee as well.
Selectman Rob Spofford said
because there could be a num-
ber of people who might not
share the feeling that a wind
turbine is the best energy solu-
tion, he thinks it is a great idea
for the vote to form the com-
mittee to come before the town.
Brown agreed and said he is
fully aware (here will be people
who will no( be in favor of (he
project, and Town Meeting will
allow the voices of the resi-
dents to be heard.
Selectman Fred Koed added
it will be important to present
voters with many options at
Town Meeting, to allow them
to make the most informed
decision possible, including
potential sites for the wind tur-
bine's location.
However. Selectman Ronnie
McMorris said if the question
of forming the committee is
brought to Town Meeting, it
might get voted in only to help
move the meeting along. She
said when some of the smaller
issues arise, votes tend to be
cast in (he affirmaiive as a way
of getting on to other business.
However, Sullivan said the
reverse could also be true, as it
is sometimes the seemingly
simple articles of business that
spark the most discussion.
The Board of Selectmen gave
the OK for Dunn to begin seek-
ing names for the committee,
which will be formally
appointed by Town Meeting
April 2. All interested candi-
dates should submit a letter ol
intent to Town Manager Bill
Griffin at 41 Highland Ave., or

at (781) 383-4105. For more

Griffin welcomed
to new post
History committee
comes bearing gifts
By Samantha Brown
SAMBR0WNffCNC.COM
Members of the Committee on
Town History came to Tuesday's
meeting of the Board of
Selectmen bearing gifts, as they
welcomed new Town Manager
Bill Griffin to town with an array
of historical memorabilia.
Committee Chairman Wig
Pierson offered his warmest wish-
es, and said in lime, he hopes
Griffin will grow to love the town
as much as the residents, and
hoped the gifts they offered
would help give him a perspec-
tive on where the town has been,
to help him guide where it is
going.
Committee member Jackie
Dormit/er. who not only wrote
"A Narrative History of Cohassel
Volume III." the third volume of
the town's history, but has com-
piled a new hardcover hook titled
"A Treasury of Cohasset
History." presented Griffin with a
hot-of-the-press copy of her latest
publication. The book had
arrived from the printers early
Tuesday morning.
The publication of "A Treasury
of Cohasset History." is actually
linked to Dormit/er's previous
work. While compiling research
for the third volume of the town's
history. Dormit/er came across
articles and various pamphlets
about the tow n, and much of the
information either pre-dated the
time period she was covering, or
didn't quite fit into the chapters,
but she knew it was worthy of set-
ting aside tor luture use. Now.
those stories which could have
been pushed aside are being
showcased fat the town, and its
new Town Manager, to enjoy.
In addition to the new book.
Committee member Hal
Coughlin presented Griffin with a
set of the first three volumes of
town history books. Griffin
received a reprint of the first vol-
ume, originally written by E.
Victor Bigelow in 1898. as well
as the second volume, written by
Burtram J. Pratt in 1956, as well
as Dormilzer's third volume,
written in 2002.
"The bad news is. you have to
read them in 90 days." quipped
Coughlin.
Selectmen Chairman Michael
Sullivan chimed in and said TD
bet 2003 and 2004 together will
be thicker than that."
Lastly. Committee member
Jim Hamilton presented Griffin
with a rare print of Minot's Light.
Hamilton explained Town Clerk
Marion Douglas had been sent a
package of the prints and upon
investigation, Pierson came to
find the print was one of a aeries
of 29 color, woodblock prints of
distinguished buildings and sites
around Boston by the renowned
New England graphic artist
Rudolph Ru/icka. Hamilton said
the complete set of original wixxl
blocks arc in the collection of the
Boston Athenaeum
Hamilton said on the print is a
Latin phrase which states. "Here
shall thy proud waves be stayed."
which are appropriate words for
Griffin as he begins his journey in
Cohasset.
Griffin thanked the committee
and said in his short time on the
job. v> hich at the time of the meet-
ing had only been two days, there
have been many people who have
slopped by the office to welcome
him into the community, and he
really appreciates it.
Griffin comes to Cohasset hav-
ing previously served as the
BourM Town Administrator. In
fact. Bourne Selectman Mark
Tirrell attended Tuesday's meet-
ing to "pass the torch" so to
speak, and make sure Cohasset
knows how lucky it is to have
Griffin on board.
"You've hired yourself ;i gem,"
said Turd), adding over the yeans,
he has relied on Griffin to cook
his "half-baked ideas" into some-
thing grcat. "He'll be a very
effective manager." he said.
In addition to Bourne. Griffin
has served in the top administra-
tive post in Dedham and
Plymouth as well. In Dedham and
Bourne, he was the first Town
Administrator. In Plymouth, he-
was the first Town Manager after
serving as that town's Executive
Secretary. In Cohasset. he will
follow Town Manager Mark
Haddad who served in the post
for seven years.
Griffin has signed a three year
contract to the tune of $1 15.000
per year. Griffin's salary in
Bourne was roughly SI07.(X)0.
Haddad's salary was roughly
$110,000 when he resigned in
May.

Tutela gets go-ahead for
Little Harbor sewer plans
By Samantha Brown
SAMBROWNffCNC.COM
New Town Manager Bill Griffin
has signed a contract with Tutela
Engineering Associates, Inc. —
the Sewer Commission's engi-
neering consultants — which will
allow the Little Harbor sewer pro-
ject to remain on course.
The action put the lid on a brew-
ing controversy surrounding the
engineering linn that was putting
residents of the Little
Harbor/Atlantic Avenue neighbor-
hoods squarely at odds with Town
Hall.
Finance Director Michael
Buckley and Health Board
Chairman Stev e Bobo have both
been vocal with their concerns that
Tutela is lop expensive and not
held to enough scrutiny.
The affected homeowners - led
by CEES (Octant lor Equitable
Environmental Solutions) -
responded with a Hurry of letters-
to-the-edilor praising Tutela and its
project manager. Dan Couglin.
At the Jan. 25 Board of
Selectmen's meeting. Buckley,
who served as Acting Town
Manager until Griffin came on
board Monday (Jan. 3 1 1, refused to
sign an amendment to a $100,000
contract between the town and
Tutela because he did not feel
comfortable with the process, tem-
porarily putting the Little
Harbor/Atlantic Avenue project on
hold.
Buckley said he felt the new con-
tract, which is the 18th amendment
to the original, should have been
put back out to bid at some point
during the last four yeais. and it
never was. He also said without a
signature for the latest draft. Tutela
should not have been authorized to
complete any wort; under the new
scope, hut it has.
In addition. Buckley said he
believes when originally written,
the Request for Qualifications,
which is used to help gather infor-
mation about prospective firms the
town will hire for a project, was
written to be restrictive, to give
Tutela a better chance of being
awarded the job.
The RPQ for the project was
drafted in 2001 by then Sewer
Commission Chairman Gary
VanderweU. The Department of
Environmental Protection had
requested the town provide an
update on progress toward saiish
ing the conditions and actions
town officials agreed to when they
signed the Second Amended Final
Judgment, which requires the town
to come up with a plan to solve its
wastewater and drainage problems
that are causing pollution.
The god was to find an engi-
neering firm which could perform
evaluation and planning for the
Little Harbor project in the form of
a Comprehensive Facility Plan
I'pdale, a Massachusetts
Environmental Policy Act
(MEPAl tiling, and a request for
revisions to the Town's wastewater
treatment plant National Pollutant
Discharge Elimination System, or
NPDES permit.
In addition to the tasks the com-
pany would be required to per-
form, a list of specific criteria for
the company itself was outlined.
The Sewer Commission would
only accept firms which had been
in business for at least 15 years,
and the firm and project manager
were required to meet strict experi-
ence guidelines. Both needed to he
familiar with low pressure sewer
systems with 230+ grinder pump-
ing units sited in ledge prone areas,
as well as experience with a spe-
cific activated sludge membrane
filtration system. In addition, the
company must have specific expe-
rience with wastewater facility
planning in coastal communities.
"I don't approve of the criteria
used." said Buckley, as he feels it
was drafted specifically with
Tutela in mind, and hasn't been put
back (Hit to bid. In addition. "We
should explore all options." he
said, when the town is about to
embark on a project which could
potentially cost between S 10 and
SI 5 million.
However. Sewer Commissioner
John Beck, who was on the selec-
tion committee and interviewed
respondents, said there were mem-
bers of the Planning Board. Sewer
Commission. Board of Health, and
interested citizens on the board,
and while not every one was imme-
diately in favor of Tutela that was
the company unanimously chosen
in the end. He said it w as the only
firm that met the qualifications, but
two other firms were invited to be
interviewed and were asked how
they would address the areas
w here they did not meet the quali-
fications. After the interviews,
choosing Tutela was a unanimous
decision.
"I think the criteria is absolutely
appnipriate to the task at hand." he
said, adding with the specialized
wastewater treatment system as
Cohasset has. it only makes sense-
to him that the town would want
someone with distinct expertise.
He said there was no "shaping" of
the contract as Buckley implied
Buckley s allegations are not UK-
first to come against Tutela in
recent weeks. Bobo came before
Selectmen Jan. 18 and said he
would like to see the town conduct
an investigation and possibly an
audit of Tutela '5 practices
Bobo believes the linn's being
involved with both the design "t
the Little Harbor sewer expulsion
as well as talks with the
Department of Environmental
Protection regarding the town's
meeting the Second Amended
Judgment, is a conflict of interest.
He alleged Tutela may not be pro-
viding all the infonnation to the
suite regarding the judgment, to
ensure sewering is seen as the on))
means of wastewater disposal lor
the project, therefore increasing
the scope of the project to its bene-
fit.
Griffin said in the interest of
making sure the town fulfills its
responsibilities, he felt it was
appnipriate to sign the amended
contract. Tutela will be able to
resume work as scheduled, and is
Stated to have a fimi number on the
cost of the sewer project that
would involve upgrading the plant
and installing the needed infra-
structure before Town Meeting

he was happy to be able to keep

Sullivan has been the General
Manager of Tedeschi's in
Cohasset since December, but

Opinion
Punxsutawney
Phil
Wednesday was Groundhog Day and I'm betting
Punxsutawney Phil was plenty glad he was hiber-
nating in Gobbler's Knob in the western end of the
Keystone State rather than in these parts.
Jusi suppose Phil were a Plymouth resident — he'd surely he
snowed in long past Feb. 2. Thanks to the Blizzard of '05 and
ilk- Mberta Clipper encore that brought another loot of snow to
the are.i last week, we probably wouldn't have seen hide nor
hair of the lu/yy pmgnosticator until sometime in late May.
Tradition is nice, but whether the groundhog sees his shadow
and heads back into his hole to finish his long w inter's nap or
not. we hearty New Englandets know there will be at least six
more weeks of cold weather, snow, sleet, and ice.
That's what winter's all about up here, like it or lease it for
w jrnier climes.
Of course this year has been particularly lough to take. It
doesn't matter how light and fluff} the snow is when it's mea-
sured in feet and you have to shovel it.
It seems Punxsutawney Phil lias the right idea when he takes
shelter and slips into an essentially comatose state lor the long
vv inter season. Hibernation for the groundhog is more than a
deep sleep, the animal's body temperature drops, its bead slows
and breathing nearly stops Imagine the rude awakening Ihe
poor dev il must endure to keep up tradition each February,
being pulled abruptly from his slumber and thrust out in front
oi hundreds, sometimes thousands, of nosy pokes looking lor a
long-range forecast.
II Phil, whose celebrity stalus has reached new heights in the
last decade thanks to Bill Murray and Andie McDowell's
nun ie hit "Groundhog Day." could speak, one might surmise
his message would he frank and or curt. Something along the
lines of "Baby, it's cold outside. I really can't stay" as he scam-
|K-rs back into his burrow.
According to Groundhog.org. the official Web site of the
Punxsutawney Gn>undhog Club, the traditional observance of
Groundhog Day goes w ay back and crosses many cultural
lines. W hile a popular tradition in America dating back nearly
1 20 y ears, the occasion has Fumpean roots and is tied to
Candlemas Day — an observance in which the clergy blessed
candles and distributed them to people marking a milestone in
ttic w inter Tire weather on that day was significant in telling
what lay ahead.
An old Scottish couplet on the topic offers;
"II Candlemas Day is bright and dear.
Jhen'U he iwa (two) witUtn in the year."
During their conquest, the Roman legions brought the tradi-
tions to theTeuions - aka the Germans - who filled out the
story considerably . The Germans concluded that if the sun
shone on C andlemas Day. a hedgehog, an animal common la
the area, would cast a shadow thus predicting six more weeks
of bad weather — or "the second winter" alluded to in the
Somish rhyme.
Pennsylvania's early settlers were primarily Gennans —
known to many as the Pennsylvania Dutch. While hedgehogs
were scarce, indigenous groundhogs were plentiful and close
enough to the real deal. Those early settlers determined the
groundhog was a sensible, intelligent animal and believed if the
sun did appear Feb. 2. the w ise rodent would see its shadow
and hurry back underground to wail out another six weeks ol
w inter. It was good adv ice for both man and beasi.
These were of course the days before Doppler radar ruined
reliable forecasting and upsiaged Phil and other trusted ground-
hog weather sources. Now. thanks lo complicated weather
models and conflicting reports from multiple meteorologists
who appear more confounded than aided by all the technologi-
cal advances in forecasting, we know more and less about
w hat winter has in store for us than ever before.
But the sun was shining yesterday and some of those enor-
mous piles of snow are starting to melt. That probably means
down in Pa. Phil saw his shadow and high-tailed it back into
his hole.
That's OK. I'm a New Englander. I was counting on si\
more weeks of winter anyway.

Takes issue with selectmen
on Little Harbor sewer issue
T<> mi. Editoh:
I know l.isi week's Mariner had several let-
ters written by residents upset with the town's
apparent reluctance lo address the sewering
needs of the Little Harhoi/Allantic Avenue
areas. I Vspite vv hal may hav e appe.uvd to he
an outpouring ol sentiment slanted towards
those icsidents and CEF-S members in favor
■ il the sewer project going forward in a time-
ly manner. I lor one say "il's about time".
It's about lime the residents stand up for
honesty and accountability with the
Selectmen and town officials when il comes
10 the 25 years ol thumbing their noses al the
Did' and State of Massachusetts.
I Watched the Board ol Selectmen's meet-
ing on Tuesday. Jan. 25 and was sickened hv
whal I saw. IxM me give you the bullets
points as to what unfolded lo demonstrate
how the majority or the Board of Selectmen
are in clear defiance of the I.H/AA project,
commitments to the Slate, and the w ill of the
voters despite what the) would have you
believe in the press.
For IhOSe of you w ho watched the meeting
it will clarity some ol the double talking and
back tracking the selectmen take and lor
those who didn't see the meeting il should
paint a clearer picture i it some of the shenani-
gans thai are going on aiming our town offi-
cials. The positions outlined below were put
forth by Sullivan. McMorris. and Spofford.:
I The Board has slopped payment of the
Sewer Commission's engineer Tutela raising
concerns Ol bias and qualifications. The
result is that Ilk- design work lor preparation
ol the article to be brought al Tow n Meeting
has slopped
2. The Board of Selectmen is saying thai if
11 doesn't have the MFPA permitting in place,
then the article should he postponed until
next year when the permitting process is
complete. This is despite the engineers'
comments that MEPA permits are done after
ihe design work.
3. When one of ihe CEES members com-
mented on the DEP's offer of amnesty,
Ronnie McMorris said in the open and tele-
v ised meeting, "that's not something that we
know the State would do." Mike Sullivan
added. '" I don't know anything about an
oiler of amnesty". I know for a fact that
amnesty has been given in other towns by
ihe state. I have been assured that amnesty
was discussed by ihe DEPand the selectmen
in iheir meeting on Jan. 2 1 .
4. The Board (Sullivan and McMorris) are
suddenly concerned that the Harbor should-
n't have any new (clean) effluent discharged
into it because of environmental concerns.
This is outrageous! Polluting the harbor
since 1979 is not a concern but now all of a
sudden loo much clean discharge is?
5. They are now suggesting subjecting
Tutela to a several month long peer review
(Something thai CEES was involved in three
years ago before embarking on the LH/AA
project) There were 5 respondents and after
a thorough review it was demonstrated that
Tutela was superior for the work. (John
Beck pointed this out in the meeting at the
lime and again in a letter to the Mariner last
week. I
6. The BoS is now suggesting thai in order
not to use a biased engineer, it may have lo
hire its own engineer to review die work lhat
the Sewer Commission has done and to
work on ihe LH/AA project — certain lo add
months on lo the project.
7. The BoS is refusing lo have any conver-
sation about its meeting with the DEP until
February when the new Town Manager is on
hoard and they can have some more closed
sessions with Counsel. What's the big secret
other than they are trying lo screw the LH
homeowners'.'
8. The BoS is also clinging to its opinion
that the CEES article was illegal —and
therefore it needn't be respected. They want
to drag in the Town Moderator before them
to "answer" for this.
9. The BoS is insisting that instead of using
the central plant to address LH (something
that the Stearns study found was the best
avenue) the SC begin discussions with Hull
(who have been quoted in the paper saying
that any new treatment service rales need lo
go up nearly 200perceni) to accommodate
the LFI/AA homes. Another way to hold up
the project by several months. Additionally,
I hear that the idea of only sewering "select"
homes in the affected areas is back on Ihe
table. This makes NO sense. Are they going
to pick out those homes lhat pollute the
"worst" and run sewer lines only lo those
homes ? That seems like a real genius way of
putting a Band-Aid on a gunshot wound.
Hasn't this town learned from fiscally bad
short term decisions that end up costing even
more in the long run?
The townspeople need lo have this infor-
mation so that they can have their eyes
wideopen to the sort of games lhat town offi-
cials are playing behind all of our backs as
they tell us to our faces that they are. "work-
ing hard and totally committed to complet-
ing the LH project." The bottom line is thai
these three board members are willing to do
whatever necessary lo block Ihe will of Ihe
people and stop the LH project. I hope die
DEP is made aware of these games and starts
lo levy fines against the town as thai seems
to be the only way the BoS isgoing to wake
up and stop die nonsense.

ihcv received from Cohasset in Ihe last 10
veils brought lo mind some questions which
in me, being a civil engineer, need answers.
• Infiltration into the sewer system was one
reason for our problems with DEP over 20
years ago. We still have Ihe infiltration
Kxlay. When will it be solved and whal will
be Ihe cost'.'
• Whal are Ihe readings on fecal coliform in
Sirails Pond since Ihe area was sewered?
• How many homes in the original 100+
Liitle Harbor (LH) district have failing
ispewing effluent) systems?
• How many homes in ihe expanded 4<X)+
Little Harbor (LH) district have failing sys-
tems?
• How many new systems have been put in
the original LH district''
How many homes in the
expanded 400+ Little
Harbor district have I
systems?
• How many new systems have been put in
the expanded LH district .'
• How many new lots will be created in this
new district?
• When Tutela Engineer. Dan Coughlin,
staled al several public meetings lhat sewer-
ing will not necessarily solve the pollution of
Little Harbor - whal is Ihe next step and how
much will it cost to open Ihe shellfish beds?
• What is the plan and projected cost to
clean up our water supply from the nutrient
overload being dumped in die Reservoir, and
along Aaron River from the Reservoir lo Lily
Pond?
• Ellen Roy Hertzfelder has staled lhat Ihe
Gulf River is a vital resource for our commu-
nity, is there any plan of extending the sewer
from 172 South Main Street to Ihe Seiluate
Border in an effort to protect this vital
resource?
Before we vote at the April 2 Town meet-
ing, il is important lhat the answers to these
questions be published so that ihe citizens
can make an informed decision about ihe
impact.

Crisis in leadership
To 1 1 ik Editor:
The arrogance and utter disregard for the w ishes
of indiv idual citizens, as well as the citizens collec-
tively, which is displayed by some of our selectmen
has escalated to the level of absurd. It is unthinkable
this Board continues to be controlled by a majority
that exhibits little regard for the best interests of the
Town while continuing to further their own agenda.
They openly attempt to circumvent policy set by
independently elected boards, commissions and
committees. They take every opportunity to invoke
executive privilege, and hide behind legal counsel
in a blatant attempt to keep information from the
public. (A truly futile effort as everyone knows
nothing is secret in this Town.)
Last week's Mariner reported that certain
Selectmen wish the Tow n to "speak w ith one voice
on wastewater " Do they really think we're stupid?
It is obvious the residents, the Miters, the Planning
Board, the Sewer Commission. Selectmen Koed
"and Domiitzer. and sometimes Selectman Spofford.
do speak w ith one voice. They all advocate sewer-
ing existing residents and neighborhoods where
pollution exists, ending the decades of pollution of
our coastal waters, and protecting our drinking
water. Only Selectmen Sullivan and McMorris. and
sometimes Selectman .Spofford. speak w ith an arro-
gant lonely voice that of furthering their agenda by
favoring private-commercial developers at the
expense of the Tow n. its future, and the taxpayers.
Cohasset is experiencing a crises of leadership
which has eroded public trust. I hope our leaders
w ill rise to the occasion, put aside their vested inter-
ests, listen to the will of the people, respect inde-
pendent committees, and unite as "one voice" to act
in the best interests of the whole Town.

Teacher salaries go up
without contract increase
To the Editor:
Those of us who ask questions and demand
accountability are often unjustly described as
'somewhat misguided' or as being 'on the fringe".
On the other hand those in elected and appointed
positions seem reluctant to make or answer
inquiries and frequently blindly place their trust in
highly paid employ ees.
Problems arise when our Sciux)l Committee
chairman explains that one reason lor the current
S500K budget shortfall is that more teachers than
expected received certification that will require their
salaries to be raised.
With a highly paid superintendent and profession-
al full-time business manager it appears that no one
kept track of which teachers were taking w hat cred-
its and how close they were to moving to a new
salary column.
According to the teachers' union contract courses
taken to increase salary scale must be appmved in
advance by the superintendent with the Schtxil
Committee signing off on tuition reimbursements
among the warrants routinely approved at their
meetings.
With current technology, our professionals should
be able to accurately project estimated new salaries.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
give or take a small amount that would not so
adversely impact our current budget.
If our paid professionals decided to do some cre-
ative bookkeeping and hide teacher tuition bills due
in one fiscal year, putting them oft to another fiscal
year and the Schtxil Committee did not do due dili-
gence, a significant budget deficit could appear like
magic!
Depending on the number of teachers involved
and the columns they move into, the salary increas-
es per teacher could amount from S 1. 1 7 1 to S5.620.
The discrepancy between amounts is because the
contract has variable numbers for the increase
between each step and each column w ithin the same
step!
Confused .' Read on.
Another aspect of the teacher's union contract the
elected officials do not seem to perceive is the mul-
tiplier effect With most of our teachers eligible for
step and/or column raises, without any increase in
the contract, almost all receive between a 4.5 per-
cent to as high as a 14.5 percent raise. Add in a 3
percent across-the-board increase that jumps the
raises up to 7.5 percent to 1 7.5 percent. For those
teachers close to retirement they can activate their
longevity buyout, receiving S3000/yr. longevity for
3 years as opposed to the standard $ 1 .000/yr that
they have been receiving above their usual salary
starting their 15th year of employment.
Besides these unexpected costs, tens of thousands
were diverted from the children's education monies
for unbudgeted golden handshakes to very highly
compensated individuals who gleefully accepted
the money and early retirement. And left us with a
SSOOK plus problem.
Should we consider the elected officials who
made such decisions misguided?

based on the ostensible reason that such communi-
cation requires special dispensation by the Board ol
Selectmen.
Furthermore, Mr. DeRensis arrived late to the
Town Meeting, at which time 1 discovered that lie
had unilaterally authored amendments to the CEES
article main motion that were neither reviewed nor
approved by the citizen proponents, prior to distrih-
ution to the meeting- This added to the anger and
heightened my resol\e to at minimum allow the
CEES \er-ion of the motion to proceed in order to
alter any perception of bad faith and unlair dealing
that appeared to pervade the process.
My opinion is that the motion I permuted was not
per se illegal. In fact, in determining the resolve of
the proponents to proceed with their own version of
the motion. I informed them of my opinion that the
motion was in all likelihood legally ineffective. Mr.
DeRensis is well aw are of the fact that there are few
absolutes in the law. Accordingly, it is my practice
to treat the opinion of Town Counsel DeRensis as
one. albeit important additional point of informa-
tion, together with other diverse opinion and per-
spectives, when formulating an actual procedure.
Selectman Robert Spofford addressed the motion
from a point of order, hut reasonably and appropri-
ately deferred to the authority of the Town
Moderator to regulate proceedings. He is to be
commended for containing the matter by not offer-
ing motions w hich would disrupt the meeting and
delay the pnxreedings
Although I perceive the end result to have been a
directive that is at best aspirational rather than
mandatory, the taking of a vote, even if only a
sense ol the meeting was the likely end result was
properly founded and justified in this instance based
upon on fundamental tenets of fairness and gixxl
faith.

Cohasset Town MixJerator
Marlette speaks out on CEES article Food drive support
To the Editor:
As Town Moderator I feel compelled to speak out
on an issue of fairness.
Prior to the December 2004 Town Meeting, I
observed the Selectman's meeting, attended by
Town Counsel and representatives of CEES.
Reasonable minds could have perceived the dia-
logue between Town Counsel and the Selectmen as
symptomatic of a blatant attempt to obstruct the
CEES people from getting their article before Town
Meeting. As Town Counsel parsed words and
equivocated, it became apparent that Mr. DeRensis
was clearly trying to prevent the article from going
forward in a fair, open manner.
It is my belief that the Cohasset Board of
Selectmen had no such hidden agenda. Rather they
were led by Town Counsel DeRensis
whose ambiguous language and cloak and
dagger machinations quite appropriately led the
CEES people to draw the somewhat reasonable
inference of a lack of fair play, or what in gangster
parlance might be called a "Bag Job" or games-
manship on the part of the Selectmen and Town
Counsel.
I attempted to reach Mr. DeRensis to discuss
motion language, which I had previously negotiat-
ed with the citizen proponents and with Foley Hoag.
He failed lo return my call, and twice at Town
Meeting, declined to proffer opinion to the meeting
To the editor:
I would like to take this opportunity to thank the
citizens of Norfolk County and the employees and
customers of the Registry of IX-eds for their partic-
ipation and generosity in our Third Annual Norfolk
County Registry of Deeds Food Drive. Through
your generous donations, we were able make distri-
butions to local food pantries in Norfolk County
Unfortunately, the problem of hunger and families
in crisis dix> not diminish after the holidays. Many
families continue lo be faced with choosing
between mortgage and rent payments, heating costs,
and food. With this in mind. I urge all citizens ol
Norfolk County to remember their less fortunate
neighbors in 2005. Fo(xJ pantries in our communi-
ties are always in need of nonperishable fixxl items
such as canned gcxxls. breakfast cereals, pasta, and
coffee.
Please consider making a donation this year. For
convenience, food pantries and phone numbers are
listed in a news release on the Registry web page.
www.norfolkdeeds.org. Call your local food pantry
for hours of operation and directions. Thanks again
to all who participated in the Holiday Food Drive. I
wish all the citizens of Norfolk Countv a safe and

I'm not going to Super Bowl XXXIX for
the same reason that I didn't go to Super
II. iw I XXXVIII or Super Bow I XXXVII or
all the other XXXVI Super Bowls right
down lo Super Bowl I.
I couldn't afford it. what with my credit
iards maxed out and the bank unwilling to
talk about a third mortgage on the old
homestead Folks on my income level were
discouraged from attending even before
Janet Jackson was blackballed.
How long will it be before Bill Gates.
I > maid Trump and the president i if the last

The last time I was in
Jacksonville I was working
for my Uncle and the only
hotel I knew was the Hotel
Aragon, where the rooms
were $10 a night, $12 with
running water.
All of the preceding is a ClX-word way of
saying that attending Super Bowl XXXIX
will cost a lot of money,
A ticket lor I of the LXXIX thousand
seats in Alltel Stadium in Jacksonville. I am
told, have a face value of SD. which. I hav
ten to point out. is only the tace value The
guys who hang around outside the stadium
saying "Pssst!" are getting at least SM and
in a case I can't verify SMMMMMM.
And that's only the beginning.
The hest hotels, some of w hich are as
close as an hour's drive from the stadium,
are renting rixims for SCLXXIX a Super

rooms go back to SLIX a night. Folks who
have rented rixims in Manchester. N.H..
during the primaries will know what I
mean.
The last time I was in Jacksonville I was
working lor my Uncle and the only hotel I
knew was the Hotel Aragon. where the

To make up for the lack of hotel rooms in

have been dixrked in the St. Johns River
equipped to handle MMMD visitors and the
Super Bow I Host Committee has lined up
some Ml) private homes for them to rent

brought their Pop Warner football teams
w ith them can have an Xl-bedroom. VI-
bath house with an ivean view for S20.IXX)

There is a less expensive way. of course.
You can always get a nxim in Savannah.
Ga.. and drive from II to III hours to the
game, which is a little like staying in
Pittsfield in order to watch the Red Sox
play.

Sewering Ihe Little Harbor
aiea of lown has been the focus
of man\ contentious debates,
and Ihe topic has come up more
frequently since a citizen's peti-

ultimately approved the article,
and the town was directed to
add a sewering schedule into

incorporating a schedule into
ihe Judgment, it would formal-
ize ihe town's commitment to
the project.
Some members of the Hoard
"I Selectmen have been very
\ocal with their concents about
incorporating a schedule into
the Judgment, as there is no

have said they worry it will pal

conies, mereforc opening itself
back up lo potential slate lines

\« a result of Ihe Town
Meeting vole, several town
officials held a powwow with
the DEP Friday. Jan. 21 to talk
abOUl ihe town's plans to tackle
lis wastewater problems in the
Little Harbor area. The meet-
ing wiih ihe stale, as well as
meetings leading up lo il. and
subsequent meetings where il
has been discussed, have all
been held in executive session,
as the board said il could affect
Ihe town's strategy moving for-
ward to discuss il in public.
Although Dormit/er is happy
with ihe outcome of Tuesday's
executive session, he said the
process by which the town
arrived at its conclusion was
not satisfactory for him. He
was the lone member of the
board who voted not lo have the
discussion in executive session.
"Most of this is something the
public has a right to know." he
said, adding there was pleniy
thai could have been discussed
out in Ihe open, and Town
Counsel could have instructed
Ihe board lo slop the conversa-
tion if it went too far off course.
Prior to the executive session.
Lisa LoJacono. a member of
CEES and one of ihe propo-
nents of ihe Tow n Meeting arti-
cle to incorporate sewering into
the judgment, expressed her
frustration at wanting lo be
updated on the discussions
which had occurred to dale. As
a homeowner in the Little
Harbor area of town, she feels
she has a right to know what the
town is negotiating with the
DEP. as she will be directly
affected, She said at ihe
board's Jan. 25 meeiing. she
had hoped the hoard would
have given an update regarding
discussions wiih the stale
which look place Jan. 21, but
Ihe hoard said it would need to
discuss ii wiih Town Counsel
before going public with infor-
mation. With nothing having
been said. LoJacono said she
wonders just what has gone on
behind closed doors.
"You met Jan. 21. and it's
been almost two weeks." since
then, she said. LoJacono said
the public is entitled to an
update.
Legality question of TM article
Town Counsel Paul DeRensis
has said in his opinion, the arti-
cle which was passed al Town
Meeting to incorporate a sew-
ering schedule into the Second
Amended Final Judgment was
illegal, and should never have
been voted on. As a result,
some members of the Board of
Selectmen have said they do
not feel comfortable with incor-
porating a schedule into the
Judgment because il will go
againsl Town Counsel's advice.
However. Town Moderator
George Marlelte. who is also an
Bttomey, said in his view, ihe
article was not illegal and pro-
ponents had followed every
step to ensure it would be
included on ihe Tow n Meeiing
Warrant. In addition, he said
the Board of Selectmen had an
obligation to bring the article
forward.
"An article is not a motion."
lie s.iid. hul serves only as a
way lo lei ihe public know
what will be discussed on ihe
floor of Tow n Meeiing. He
said in his opinion, the propo-
nents of ihe article collected the
required number of signatures
and there was nothing in the
writing which would have pre-
vented it from being discussed
"I've been a longtime sup-
porter of Paul DeRensis. I feel
he's served us well in tenns of
the Town Meeting process,"
said Marlette. adding Town
Meeting is Ihe only capacity he
has ever worked in with
DeRensis. However, he said he
believes DeRensis was "pars-
ing words." and using absolute
language to characterize ihe
article as illegal, when he
believes the question is nol
whether il is illegal, bui
whether il is legally ineffective.
"Town Counsel wouldn't even
entertain lhal dialogue,"
Marlette said.
Marlette also said he doesn't
think ihe issue is clearly either
black or w hile, and if DeRensis
is having trouble convincing
the Department of
Environmental Protection lhal
the article is illegal, lhal would
suggest to him he is not alone in
his point of v iew.
Whea* Ihe issue was such a
healed topic, Miirlelle said he
consulted with an attorney
from Foley Hoag in Boston
about the article lo gel another
opinion, and lhal lawyer sug
gested making changes which
Marlette said DeRensis ulti-
malely lloated on the floor of
Tow n Meeiing.
Al one point before Town
Meeiing. Marlette said Town
Counsel re-wrole the article
without discussing it wiih ihe
proponents. "There were a
respectable amount of citizens
who perceived they wea1 being
deprived of due process,"
Marlelte said, and by allowing
the article to come forward it
helped level the play ing lield.

The Avalon sewer ball is in ZBAs court
By Mary Ford
MFORDGCNC.COM
Who geil sewered first?
That's really the bottom line.
And in line, but not neces-
sarily in this order, are the
roughly 4(X) existing homes in
the Little Harbor/Atlantic
Avenue neighborhoods.
Cedarmere (a 55-plus, multi-
unil condominium project
which is yet to be built), the
Cook Estate (another pro-
posed senior housing project),
and AvalonBay. which plans
to build a 200-unil apartment
complex off Route 3A.
Enter the Zoning Board of
Appeals, which may be in the
most unenviable position in
town, because it — and not
the Sewer C ommission — has
the 'ask of determining
whether there is enough
capacity for Avalon. a 40-B
project. And that may be the
only issue the ZBA can legal-
ly focus on. In tither words,
the board may not be able to
legally consider the sewer
needs ol existing homes and
oilier projects in reaching its
decision on Avalon.
According to A\alon offi-
cials. the sole issue before the
ZBA is a determination of
capacity for that project.
And il Monday's public
healing was a gauge - then at
this point in time, no one
appears lo be happy.
The Sewer Commission,
whose power is usurped in Ihis
case by the ZBA is upset;
Cedarmere developers are
upset because they say
their project is first in ~
line; un-sewered home-
owners in the Little
Harbor/Atlantic Avenue area
are upset because they say
they are entitled to any capac-
ity; and the Planning Board is
upset because Avalon. in its
view, is wrong for Cohassel
because it will stress town ser-
vices. The Planning Board
also says il Avalon is allowed
sewer capacity, il would open
the door for Cedarmere and
the Cook Estate projects, giv-
ing them the legal write lo
connect.
The ZBA will now
conduct
deliberations and
has up to 40 days
to file a decision.
And Avalon is upset because
il feels it acted in good faith
and worked with the town
onlj to run into roadblocks
when it comes lo wastewater
disposal. Avalon said the tow n
has not been receptive to
allowing il lo hook up lo the
sewer treatment plant in Hull.
Hull lias excess capacity lo
sell, but Avalon would likely
need a street opening permit
from Cohassel u> gel there.
And the Water Commission
has appealed the ZBA
approval of the comprehen-
sive permit because of
AvalonVs proposed on-site sys-
tem (that appeal is still pend-
ing in land court).
So Avalon has asked the
ZBA to make a determination
about town sewer capacity and
believes the town has no legal
righi lo reserve capacity for
other areas, over the objec-
tions of other boards and some
residents.
In fact. Monday's 2-1/2
hour-long point and counter-
point, back-and-l'orth hearing
in a crowded basement meet-
ing room was like a courtroom
with lawyers arguing for their
clients and the ZBA in the
posiiion of judge
So how did Cohassel get lo
this juncture?
The town's pollution prob-
lems from run-off and failing
seplic systems date back 25
years. Bui even with the pass-
ing of more lhan two decades,
how the town is going to con-
tinue solve its wastewater
woes and what the court says
il has lo do - still appear to be
open io interpretation. (It
should be pointed oui in ihe
past 10 years, the town has
installed sewers in North
Cohassel ihrough a municipal
agreement with Hull and
upgraded its own treatment
plani lo extend sewer service
lo hundreds more homes in Ihe
Central District).
Under 40B. the slate's
affordable housing law.
a developer in
exchange for providing
affordable housing can apply
directly lo the ZBA for a com-
prehensive permit and doesn't
have to obtain permits from
other boards. Therefore, ihe
ZBA has sole jurisdiction lo
grant approval lor a sewer
connection in lieu 01 aclion by
ihe Sewer Commission.
Avalon officials said
The ZBA closed ihe hearing
Monday lhal deall wilh
Avalon's request for a modifi-
cation of its comprehensive
permit approved roughly 14
months ago Thai approval
was conditioned on ihe project
obtaining a groundwater dis-
posal permit for lis proposed
on-sile system Irom the
Department of Em ironmenial
Protection.
But the ZBA subsequently
granted Avalon an amendment
10 its comprehensive permit
thai — in lieu of a ground-
water permit (which the Water
Commission opposes because
11 feels ihe on-site sysiem
could pollute Lily Pond, the
town's drinking w ater supply )
— Avalon could undertake a
connection either lo Hull or lo
Ihe Cohassel municipal sewer
sysiem subject to a determina-
tion there is adequate capaci-
ty-
The ZBA will now conduct
deliberations and has up to 40
days io file a decision.
In addition to poring over
engineering reports aboul
whether the towns sewer
treatment plant has the capac-
ity to handle the estimated
22.000 gallons per day
expected to be generated hv
ihe rental project, ihe ZBA
will also examine in detail the
Second Amended Final
Judgment, the court order lhal
appears lo be Ihe subject of
interpretation. Town Counsel
has said ihe town has satisfied
ihe ""Judgment" while Ihe
Sewer Commission savs it
clearly slates existing homes
must be sewered before anv
new developments.
Sleven Schwartz. Avalon \
attorney, said the ludgmeni
does nol preclude the ZBA
from permitting a sewer con
liection for Avalon. and lhal
under 40B. Ihe town cannoi
deny a connection il n is tech-
nically feasible He said the
town was using ihe sewer
issue as a way lo oppose
development in general, and
mulli-unil family and afford-
able housing in particular.
Bui Ihe Planning Board s
attorney Kimberly \i Sailluni
said it's nol a simple case ol
arithmetic In determining
capacity issues. She explained
allowing Avalon lo hookup
could have a domino efTecl
allowing olhei proposed
mulli-unil projects lo connect.
So many developments in
such a short lime would sirain
ihe town's municipal infra-
Structure and service delivery
capabilities, she said.

Balanced effort against Nantucket leaves Cohasset girls
hoops two wins away from tourney qualification
■ * i
By Mark Goodman
MG00DMAN»CNC COM
Defense was the name of (he
game Wednesday nighi for the
Cohassel girls basketball
team.
Holding your opponents to
under 20 points will pretty
much guarantee victory, and
such was the case against
Nantucket, as the Skippers
came away with a dominating
43-19 win.
The girls received a bal-
anced effort, with the points
coming from a variety of
sources. As has been the case
all year, senior forward Casey
Anderson led the way. this
time with 14. But a number of
other players stepped up in
the win.
Among those was junior
Chelsea Grossman, who
scored II. Lacey Richardson
chipped in with eight.
The Meg Anderson Fan
C"lub in attendance got a great
show in the second half, as the
freshman helped put
Nantucket away with six
points late in the second half.
One of Meg s three Held goals
came off a very-smooth last
break in which older sister
Casey led her to the basket
with a perfect pass
The team was without the
injured Mia Lieb-Lappen. one
of their best defensive play-
ers. The rest of the girls
stepped it up. however. Katie
James in particular.
The junior forward was
huge on the boards, keeping
Nantucket's athletes off the
offensive glass. The Cohasset
defense was forcing the
Whalers into some tough
shots, and thanks to James.
Richardson and Anderson,
there were few second chance-
opportunities.
Conversely, the Skippers
were able to crash of the
offensive glass with abandon,
frequently earning themselves
second, third and sometimes
fourth opportunities to score.
Casey Anderson, in particu-
lar, was all over the place. Her
efforts often led to either sec-
ond-chance points or a trip to
the free throw line.
Head coach John Levangie
said afterwards he appreciated
the all-around effort.
•'I thought we ran the fast
break pretty w
game was just fantastic." he
said. "It was great team effort.
The team defense was super."
The Skippers will be mak-
ing a ferry ride of their own
Saturday. Feb. 12. for a
rematch with the Whalers,
The girls made the same trip
last year and won going away.
"If we can play the type of
defense we did tonight, we
should be OK." Levangie
said. •But that trip will be a
test of how tough these kids
are."
The win improves
Cohasset's record to 8-5,
meaning the need to win only
rwoof their last seven games
to advance to the Div. 4 state
tournament. There would
appear to he more than
enough winnable games on
the schedule to make that hap-
pen.
(For a complete re\ Ised girls

It didn't take long for Dorian

during Wednesday's practice
that they weren't trying hard

In the coach's eyes, the boys

Under the attentive look of
Bryant, the team turned that

A hard luck season may have
turned for the better for the
Cohasset hockey team on
Wednesday.
That is the hope, anyway, as the
Skippers finally broke through
on the scoreboard at the
Rockland Ice Rink with a 3-2
win over Abington/East
Bridgewater.
Junior Brian Straughn scored
two goals, including the game-
winner with 4:30 remaining in
the game. Senior Tim Pikvak
scored the other goal for
I,?
Cohasset.
After outplaying AEB in the
first two periods 1 resulting in a 2-
I lead). Cohassel found them-
selves in a battle in the third peri-
od. Three minutes in, the Green
Wave tied things up and
appeared to ha\ e the momentum.
It was about seven minutes
later lhal Straughn stepped in to
change that, putting in a shot
from the slot to re-gain the lead
for his team. AEB pulled their
goalie in the closing seconds, and
nearly tied it up on a couple occa-
sions.
The Skippers held on. howev-
er, much (o the relief of players
and coaches who had been
increasingly frustrated by the
recent string of losses. Senior
captain Ted Straughn said after-
wards that the win. which brings
Cohasset's record to 3-6. will
hopefully spark ihe team (o some
wins.
"It's going to have to do thai, or
else it's over." he said. "A loss

Down 1-0. the Straughn broth-
ers combined to put the Skippers
on the board four minutes into
the second period. On a 3-00-2

Often Wave had a little loo
much talent to overcome.
Once again, it was a balanced
scoring effort for Cohasset, an
encouraging sign us the team
will need points from multiple
players if they are to be suc-
cessful in the tournament.
Casey Anderson led with 1 1,
supported by Grossman with
nine and Nicole Whitney with
eight.
Levangie said he has seen
Grossman improve tremen-
dously since lust season and
the beginning of this year.
"Chelsea is really becoming
•an excellent point guard. She
has matured u lot in that role,
■and she is far more experi-
enced than last year,"
'.Levangie said "She has
'.learned to go to the basket
inore. and she is making much
belter decisions with the bas-
ketball."'
All of Whitney 's points came
on medium-range jump shots
Thai is a phase of the game
that Cohasset will need come
tournament time, as Anderson
figures to be double- or triple-
teamed every lime she touches
the bull in the post.
Levangie knows Anderson
can effectively puss out of
those kinds of defenses, and
others will have to step up and
make shots The coach is hope-
ful that the likes of
Richardson, James and
Whitney will help out in thai
regurd.
"1 think in the case of those
girls, it's a matter of getting
them to believe in them-
selves," Levangie said. "They
can all shoot; it's just a matter
of confidence. I think they arc-
starting to get thai confi-
dence."
The Skippers face another

they travel to lace Carver. The
rest of the girls' schedule is as

Virga says Faber has shown
great improvement as the year
has gone on.
"Corbin just plays phenomenal
positional hockey, and he's the
most coachable kid in the
world." Virga said. "He's
worked himself up from a kid
who hardly plays to a key part of
our third line."
Brendan Michaud played in
net on Wednesday, and made I S
saves in the victory.
All in all. it was a great way for
the leant to bounce back from a
tough game last Friday against
Norwell.
Norwell 5, Cohasset 0
The difference between youth
and experience showed last
Friday night.
While the Cohasset hockey
learn plays a number of fresh-
men unci sophomores in their
line-up, Norwell's is mainly
juniors and seniors with u couple
j ears oi \ arsity experience.
The Clippers knew how to
make the plays when it mattered
most, and came away w ith a 5-0
win.
The game w as not the blowout
that the final score would lead
one to believe. The Skippers
note than held their own for the
lirst two periods, as the shots
were just about even (Norwell
held a slight IX-16 advantage
going into the second intermis-
sion).
The difference was that the
Clippers made a couple of those
chances count. The first came at
the end of the lirst period, when
Dan Fer/oco set up line-mate
Mike Guerra for a blast at the
right face-off circle that found its
way past Cohasset goalie Stefan
Purncll 1 26 saves)
That sent Norwell into the
locker room with a 1-0 lead in a
period that was otherw ise evenly
played. From the Skippers' per-
spective, any potential for
momentum look a hit with that
goal.
"Giving up a goal with 17 sec-
onds left in the period, that's just
the mistake of u young learn
right there." Virgu said.
Thut first period feutured some
huge hits, particularly from
Cohasset sophomore Conor
Holway. The young defenseman
has become one of the best in his
position in the South Shore
League, combining that hitting
ability with notable puck-carry-
ing skills out of his own end.
Neither Holway nor Purnell
had a chance, however, of stop-
ping Norwell's second goal with
6:27 left in the second period.
After gelling into a collision with
u Skipper, Norwell defenseman
Brendan Gilligan got just
enough control of a loose puck to
poke it ahead lo a charging Pete
Lindblom.
Norwell's leading scorer found
himself all alone on a breakaway,
and he made il count to give
Norwell all the insurance they
would wind up needing. A
Cohasset power play later in the
period was nullified by a faulty
line change that resulted in a too
many men on ihe ice penalty, a
mishap Virga took responsibility
for after the game.
Tilings were still in doubt five
minutes into the third period,
despite a flurry of shots from
Norwell. Included in thai
sequence was a great save by
Panic 1 1 on a breakaway by
, Fer/oco.
With 10:07 left, however,
Cohasset would accidentally put
the puck in their own net to give
the Clippers a 3-0 lead. Tom
Napolilano got credit for the
score.
The Skippers' dreams of victo-
ry and. for thai matter, their
morale, were clearly dashed.
Within minutes. Norwell scored
two goals in the span of IS sec-
onds to account for the final
score.
Norwell head coach Paul
Hurley had two goals coming
into the contest: to come out
slning in the first period and to
win in order to stay within a
game of league-leading
Harwich/Provincetown. Both
were accomplished.
"That was our best game of the
year." Hurley said. "This was a
great team effort. Everybody did
their job and played smart hock-
ey."
An encouraging sign lor the
Clippers was the fact that five
different players scored their
goals. In addition to Guerra.
Lindblom and Napolilano, Cody
Cavicchi (assisted by Myles
Clancy) and Brian White

difference on defense with some
strong checking of his own.
From the Skippers' perspec-
tive. Virga commended many of
his players for the effort they put
forth on Friday night.
"If I had 20 Ted Straughns, I
would be confident in our
chances against B.C. High and
Catholic Memorial." said
Cohasset's second-year coach.
"A kid like Austen Lan/illotli. if
he plays like thai every game,
we'll be in great shape. I thought
Conor and Charlie [Cz.erkawski]
played great as well.
"Everybody is doing their best.

juniors and seniors."

It is those II games that will
determine whether or not
Cohasset will play beyond the
regular season.
"It's basically a race at this
point; either seven wins or five
losses, whichever comes first
will determine that." Virga said.
"We've been dealing with a lot
of adversity: it would he a shame
if we didn't build on this win

Taunton from taking any shots.
A timeout by faunton
allowed them to regroup and
they put the press on Cohassel.
which created offensive
chances. Taunton took the lead
with three and half minutes left
in the half.
The second half started again
with the Richardson and
Sturino tag team, combining
for two baskets. Savage con-
verted a board to two and
Richardson went end to end off
a steal for two. Cohasset was
within three points.
Taunlon put the press on and
slowly expanded their lead. A
tremendous block by Dan
Martin kept Cohassel within
six points. But then Taunlon
put the brakes on, stopped
Cohasset from scoring and
converted several fast breaks to
points, expanding their led to
14 points.
Sturino and Richardson led a
comeback, hauntingly similar
to 24 hours prior. Tremendous
guts had Sturino harassing
their ball-handlers. Savage
blocked a shot and fed Sturino
for two. Martin with a great
second effort, converted an
offensive board to two.
Ryan Daly then stole the ball
and made the lay up. but the
clock ran out and Cohasset fell
short to Taunton.
Nick Simonds. Mike Fithian.
Adam Berger. I.ennart Brown
and Owen Landon all con-
tributed tremendous heart and
effort on the court for the boys
in blue.

The truth that is taught by winter'
FAITH REFLECTIONS
Rev. Cuff Cima*
The other nighi as I wailed al
Pemberton Poini in the cold it
was quite clear to me that 1 was
far from self-reliant. I was wait-
ing for a ride and thankful for it.
Last week's winter storm (with a
nod to the Patriots) hit like a
wedge going up-field on a kick-
off return. It was impossible not
to be humbled by its ferocity.
One friend for whom not missing
work is a matter of pride,
remarked when he could not get
out of his house: "Why can't I
just accept mother nature's gift of
a day off graciously?! Maybe at
another time I will be able to find
that humility with God s help."
There is something about win-
ter that humbles each one of us.
We are not autonomous. We live
dependently among others and
upon God. The bushes in our
yard have been bent over (hum-
bled) under the weight of snow. 1
recall in the poem "Birches."
Robert Frost imagined that they
had been bent to the ground by
human sport. Perhaps, however,
that gives too much consequence
to boys at play. He knew that the
real reason was winter. We are
not autonomous, in perfect con-
trol, or sovereign even over a thin
birch tree. But fallen snow can
bend it so that it stays bent.
Winter teaches humility.
Humility is at the root of all
worship. It is our giving the sov-
ereignty to God. Winter's storms
often recall to my heart the
Prayer of A/ariah in the Bible's
Apocrapha: "Glorify the Lord. O
chill and cold./ drops of dew and
Hakes of snow./ Frost and cold,
ice and sleet, glorify the Lord./
praise him and highly exalt him
for ever." All creation submits to
God. Frost and cold humble me.
Spiritually, we are humble
because God is humble. God
addresses Moses from an
insignificant. desert bush.
Christmas is the celebration of
God's embodiment as the child
Jesus humbly bom in a manger:
and Easier, Jesus' humbling him-
self "to the point of death" for
love of the world, as the ancient
hymn in Philippians makes clear.
We arc humble because God is
humble.
Secondly, we are humble
because that is God's desire for
us. The lirsi Psalm begins the
Only the humble
can see through
the inflated pride
same way as Jesus' beatitudes:
"Blessed are those" and Jesus
goes on to describe the spiritually
poor, the grieving, the merciful
and guileless, that is. the humble.
We are not autonomous but
dependent upon God's grace that
is the "spiritual adrenaline." with
which God blesses the humble
Finally, we are humble because
humility Opposes the abomina-
tion of pride — thinking, for
instance, that another's "blood"
or race is somehow deficient
Compared to one's own and in
need ot eradication. Last week
was the o(),n year since the Na/.i
death camps were liberated.
Nine years ago I visited Yad
Vashem in Jerusalem. The
Hebrew means a monument and
a name. To enter this memorial to
(he holocaust I walked past a
sculpture of broken, while
columns recalling the million
Jewish children that were killed
(their lives broken oft before their
time). Walking through exhibit
after exhibit I finally exited over-
whelmed, bent over under a spir-
itual winter such as I had never
seen before. We are to be humble
so that we see in one another the
creative love of the one God. and
counter the abomination of
racism and pride.
T<x) often we associate humility
with weakness, That is not the
case. Only the humble can see
through the inllaled pride that
turns violent toward others. It is
the humble who can empalhi/e
with the suffering and without
violence though with great pas-
sion resist those who inflict
wrong. The Los Angeles Times
reported recently that humility is
a key trait of successful leaders.
This is not just a business assess-
ment. It is a truth taught by win-
ter and a spirituality that is mil-
lennia old

SCHOOL NOTEBOOK
SPED law under attack
The Massachusetts
Department of Education
(MDOEl is moving quickly to
make significant changes to the
Chapter 7Wi Special Education
regulations. according to
Massachusetts Advocacy for
Children. Manx of the proposed
changes could seriously harm
children with special educational
needs. If these changes are
enacted school administrators
who are no) part of a child's IEP
Team and do not know the child
would he allowed to determine
the Student's Classroom place-
ment each year
School districts will be able to
change a student's IEP and
placement without parental con-
sent (unless the parent files for .i
hearing or mediation.) That
means that both parents and
School districts will be paying
heav y legal lees School districts
will be allowed to refuse
requests that a student be evalu-
ated or reevaluated. Il will
become legal to segregate spe-
cial education programs in one
pari of a school building (i.e..
separate wing, basement,) and
short term objectives can be
removed from lEPs.
These proposed changes
undermine the very fabric of
civ il rights for children w ith dis-
abilities. Mass. Advocacy says.
They seriously erode a parent's
right to participate in their
child's educational program-
ming and place the future of
these children at enormous risk.
Parents and others who care
about children with disabilities
can express their opinions
regarding these proposed
changes by attending one of the
MDOE sponsored public hear-
ings. Hearings will be held in
Springfield on Feb. 7 from 3-6
p.m. at the Kasparian
Professional Development
Center. 60 Alton St.: and in
Maiden on Feb. 14 from 3-6
p.m. at the MDOE headquarters
at 350 Main St. MDOE is also
taking email comments at:

Finally, individuals can contact
(heir state senator and represen-
tative to voice concerns. Call the
State House at (617) 722-2(XK).

When it come! to committees.
Police Chief James Hussey ma)
have the right stuff.
Selectmen have been known to
implore people to sign up for
myriad boards, committees and
ad-hoc groups through public
statements on rv and news
briefs in the Mariner.
BUI Hussey had the tough job
of turning people away from the
new Police Advisory Council
which met lor the firsl lime
Wednesday (Feb. 2).
Hussey said Police Advisory
Council is a natural outgrowth Of
the police sui > ej he o inducted at
the end of the summer and into
the fall that asked respondents
do/ens of questions about every-
thing from how sale they feel to
whether phone calls to the CPD
aie answered courteously and
professionally.
There were 3o people interest-
ed," said Hussey. who selected
eight citizens, not including him-
self and Sgt. Shellee Peters and
Officer Christy Tarantino. who is
the union president. Peters is
immediate past president of the
police union.
Citizens on the council initially
are Jack Buckley. Gabriel
Gomez. Ron Goodwin.
WigmOK Pierson. Lynn Previte.
Beth Marsden Oilman. John
Rov. Richard Abbadessa. and Ed
Gofl
Hussey said he may rotate
some people on and off the coun-
cil, which represents a cross-sec-
tion of the community, after the
fust lew meetings to allow more
participation. "I hate to shut any-
one out." he said. ■The whole
idea is to brainstorm and get
ideas, "
Hussey said a range of topics
w ill be discussed focusing on the
current delivery of police ser-
vices and how those can be
expanded and/or improved.
He said he hopes those on the
Police Advisory Council will talk
to other members of the commu-
nity and bring any ideas and con-
cerns forward.
Hussey said the survey validat-
ed the concerns expressed to him
when he took over the reins in
the police department last spring.
At that time, he gleaned from
community receptions and talk-
ing to residents that under-age
alcohol use and traffic were
issues that needed to be
addressed.
Hussey said one of the jobs of
the new Police Advisory Council
is to see if opinion and percep-
tion reflect reality in terms of the
police.
He said the new advisory coun-
cil will hopefully help create
more "transparency" in the
police department but it won't be
"open ended."
"h will sunset." he said. "I'm
not looking to have this be a per-
manent thing." He estimates the
council will meet every three to
four months over the next 18
months.
" We will pick each others'
brains for ideas and help try to
reshape current operations. After
doing that, we're moving on."
In a telephone interview
Thursday. Hussey described the
first Police Advisory Council
meeting held Wednesday (Feb.
2) as very productive. He said
two themes emerged.
"People want to reconnect with
the police department and want
to get to know the officers." he
said. Hussey noted that when he
was growing up everyone knew
"the cop on the beat."
But in the 60s and later, police
service changed to responding to
crime and fewer officers got out
of their cars.
"We've come full circle."'
Hussey said.
Town needs to act on 'permanent' police chief post

understanding between the two.
which will help dictate how both
should deal w ith issues regarding
teens.
In tact, it's becoming hard to
imagine the CPU without
Hussey
But w hen Hussey — Who had
been serving as commander of
the Boston Police Academy —
came on board last June at a
salary ol roughly S 101, 800, il
was Understood he would lake a
year leave of absence from the
Boston Police IX-partnienl.
With that year quickly coming
to .i close, the Board of
Selectmen has begun discussing
the direction the town should
take to find a permanent chief to
replace lomier Chief Roben W.
Jackson, who retired after some
24 years with the CPD, more
than two ol those as chief.
Although Selectmen Chairman
Michael Sullivan said the deci-
sion will ultimately he one for
new Town Manager Bill Griffin,
whose first day was Monday
(Jan. J I), at last week's
Selectmen's meeting he said they
need to talk about whether they
will either recommend searching
for a new chief or asking Hussey
to stay on board.
"We don't want to lose him."
— Selectman Fred Koed
Selectman Ralph Dormitzer
said, nidging from community
feedback and from his own per-
sonal experience, Hussev "is
doing a tremendous job."
But Selectman Rob Spofford
said the hoard shouldn't rule out
the possibility of conducting a
search. He recalled last spring
there was a lot of criticism that
Hussey "s appointment w as done
"behind closed doors" and select-
men assured the public "we*d
have a fully vetted process-'' the
next time around.
Jackson's retirement was
announced on a Tuesday and
Hussev was interv iewed and sub-
sequently recommended by the
board to be appointed as interim
chief two days later.
Hussey. now 50. was the only
candidate interviewed by all live
members of the board. At the
time, some residents said a wider
search should have been con-
ducted for such an important
position In addition, because the
public interview was the first
time the town had been intro-
duced to Hussey. they questioned
just how much business had been
conducted before that night and
why the public wasn't involved.
Selectman Fred Koed said
while the board made a commit-
ment to a process, saying il
would involve the public when il
was time lo find a pemianenl
chief — Hussey has proven to be
the kind of leader Cohassel
needs. However, Koed said the
town shouldn't drag ils feel and
needs to lei Hussey know its
intentions as soon as possible. If
the town waits loo long, Hussey
may choose lo go someplace else
and "we don't want to lose him."
Koed said.
Spofford agreed and said there
are many good reasons why the
town should consider keeping
Hussey on board.
"From everything I've heard.
Jim is doing a tremendous job
and I'd like him lo slay as long as
he wants." he said. "We should
encourage thai."'
Selectman Ronnie McMorris
said when Hussey was appoint-
ed, the board had taken the initia-
tive to make that appointment
because there was an interim
Town Manager as well.
However, she reiterated this
appointment will ultimately be
Griffin"s and selectmen will only
be there to provide guidance.
Hussey. a 28-year veteran of
the Boston Police Department,
was hired as interim chief in the
wake of a nine-month long con-
troversy that had turned the
police department upside-down
involving two officers, who were
placed on paid leave by former
Town Manager Mark Haddad
amid allegations of wmngdoing.
The process was long and
wrenching but through it all. Ihe
officers denied the allegations.
Hussey pui the men back on the
job in time for Ihe Fourth of July
weekend.
In a telephone inierview
Wednesday, Hussey said he is
"absolutely"" interested in becom-
ing the permanent police chief.
"This is a new challenge in my
life." he said. "I've never worked
for a lown before. It's an oppor-
tunity lo get into the roots of a
community instead of being part
of a big bureaucracy."
He described his roughly nine
months in Cohassel as "a new
and uplifting experience."
"I try to see ihe glass half full."
he said. "Although there are chal-
lenges ahead - we have a great
opportunity in the police depart-
ment and community to move
forward and make dungs belter "

when a dispute arises rather than
lake matters into their own
hands."
LaM week, an Atlantic Avenue
resident reported that someone
had stuffed the drainage pipe at
the residence causing water to
back up into the basement. The
officer that went to the scene
reponed ice was stuck in the pipe
but someone had also put sand in
it.
Hussey said it looks as though
drainage from the pipe was
going out into the street causing
floods and possibly someone
who was upset about that may
have blocked the pipe, causing a
backup.
When this sort of thing hap-
pens the perpetrator could be
criminally charged even though
it may not have been his intent to
cause any damage. Hussey said.

On the South Shore
Improv Asylum brings
acclaimed antics to Quin
** toi ■ tm& . ^
n
Improv Asylum must have been saving the best for last. The
acclaimed comedy troupe has given over 2.300 performances
for some 500,000 people since opening its Boston theater six
years ago The award-winning company has a theater in New
York's Times Square as well as a Los Angeles cast, and has been
featured on the NESN and HBO cable channels. On Saturday
night. Improv Asylum will gives its first-ever public perfor-
mance on the South Shore as part of its new engagement at the
Den at Fox & Hound Wood Grille and Tavern in Quincy. "We
get lots of requests to perform in all kinds of places and we turn
most Of them down." explained Improv Asylum co-founder and
co-owner Norm Laviolette by telephone last week. "What drew
us to the Den was the space. I was skeptical, but the room has
such charm that the minute I saw it. I realized we could defi-
nitely do a show there."
The show they will do will feature five impnwisational actors,
underscored by a keyboardist, in a revue that will be equal parts
sketch comedy and on-the-spot improvisation.
"We're a cross between 'Saturday Night Live' and 'Whose Line
Is It Anyway'.'.'" says sometime-performer Laviolette. "Just to be
in our cast, you have to have a definite skill set. You have to be
able to sing and dance. You also have to be able to hyper-listen,
which is how improv artists focus on their fellow actors. You
also need watchability.' the inner quality that makes any good
performer worth watching."
Laviolette is quick to acknowledge that TV watching has been
instrumental in building interest in improv. "People like Wayne
Brady, Colin Mochrie and Ryan Stiles are truly top-level talent.
Thanks to them and others, people finally have a reference point
for improvisation. We have great people in our company, too,
and that's what keeps our audiences coming back. What grabs
them so much is the immediacy of the craft. What we do is very
true and, hopefully, very funny."

MORE THAN HEARING AT STAKE
It is widely recognized that per-
sistent exposure to noise or noise
at very high levels permanently
damages hearing, but there is
even more than hearing at stake.
Regular exposure to noise can
also cause sleep disturbances,
discomfort, anxiety, depression,
and headaches. It can also make
psychiatric disorders worse.
According to the World Health
Organization, excessive noise is
responsible for an increased risk
of hypertension and heart dis-
ease, and a Dutch study once
linked hypertension to living
near an airport. Noise pollution
in the workplace is a worldwide-
problem Several studies have
shown that workers who are
exposed to noise are at higher
risk for higher blood pressure.
The conclusion'' Wear hearing
protection whenever noise is a
factor.
We really can't emphasize it
enough — protect your hearing!
When irreversible damage has
been done, however, and the path
remaining is a hearing instru-
ment, come to FAMILY HF.AR-
ING CARE CENTER for a
comprehensive hearing evalua-
tion by a Board Certified
Hearing Instrument Specialist.
You'll he amazed at the hearing
instruments available today and
how they can enhance your hear-
ing. We'll be glad to show you
the different makes and models
and advise you on which one
would be of the most benefit In
your individual necds.Locatcd at

study of auto plant workers
found that blood pressure did not
rise when workers wore hearing
protection.

DESTINATIONS
Key to the kingdom
Go off the beaten track for a
Conch-eye view of
Florida's southernmost city
FRAN GOLDEN
HERALD TRAVEL EDITOR
KEY WEST. Fla. —
CEO Kelly Croce
Sorg described the
new Pirate Soul museum here
as Disney "with an edge." And
the same can be said of Kev
West itself. It's Florida "with
an edge." To begin to under-
stand the funky, fabulous, any-
thing-goes nature of the place,
first-time visitors will want to
go the tourist route and get
their bearings on a Conch Train
or Old Town Trolley tour. \ isit

favorite bar) and touristy bars
on lively Duval Street and
enjoy the eccentric daily sunset
celebration at Mai lory Square.
But when you return a second
or third time you'll want to dig
deeper. Get to know the local
conches, as they call them-
selves. To check out the scene.
1 rented a bike and tooled
around town. Here are some
recommended discoveries.
THINGS TO SEE
The newest attraction would
make Captain Kidd proud. Pirate
Soul (524 Front St.) is the brain-
child of Pat Croce. best-selling
author and former minority
owner of the 76ers. OK. so
you"re thinking Disney's Pirates
of the Caribbean, and you're par-
tially right. This museum does
feature animatronics. interactive
displays and new technologies
such as creepy 3-D sound in its
attempt to re-create the Golden
Age of Piracy (1690-1730). But
look in the cases and you'll see
real treasures, most from Croce's
personal collection, including
one of only two Jolly Roger flags
known to exist and the only
authentic pirate chest in America.
There are real weapons and
pieces of eight, too. Admission is
SI 2.95 adults. S6.95 kids. Be
sure to check out the cool pirate-
thcmed gift shop too.
The pretty red brick Custom
House building on the wateffronl
had seen better times when it
recently was revived as the Key
West Museum of Art & History
(281 Front St.). Here local artists
shine in nice gallery space on the
first floor and upstairs exhibits
highlight Hemingway, pirates
and other touches of Key West
history. In March, a new exhibit
will feature the work of folk artist
Mario Sanchez. In July, a life-
si/e bronze of Hemingway in
fishing gear will be unveiled out-
side on the occasion of his 105th
birthday. Admission is $7 adults.
$5 kids, with a free audio tour (on
which the museum's director
notes the drama and joy of Key
West life that make the city spe-
cial).
When Hemingway first came
to Key West in 1 928 it was to buy
a car. He bedded down at what
now is known as Casa Antigua
(314 Simonton St.). The author's
car was delayed and he and wife
Pauline ended up staying three
weeks and falling in love with the
town. The interior of the building
later burned but has been partial-
ly restored. You can tour the large
atrium garden and gel a glimpse
of the Hemingways' suite. To do
this you have to enter the
Caribbean gift shop known as
Pelican Poop. Pay the clerk $2
and he'll take you out hack and
click on the audio lour. This is
also the place where the awards
are presented in the annual
HERALD PHOTO BY ANDY NEWMAN
A Conch Tour Train stops at the restored Key West Custom House,
which now holds the new Key West Art & History I
Hemingway short story
competition.
DINING
'There's nothing like a good
Cuban." said the woman sharing
a bench with me outside the Five
Brothers Grocery (930
Southward St.) as we both dived
into Cuban sandwiches, cold cuts
on grilled bread with pickles
(S4.25). and strong Cafe con
Leche (SI for a medium). And
she was right. The best things
about Blue Heaven (729 Thomas
St.) are that you get to dine with
the free-roaming indigenous
chickens and cats, the banana
pancakes and its interesting his-
tory. The building was once a
brothel, and outside Hemingway
officiated boxing matches in the
'30s — apparently the author did
not venture upstairs because, as
one local put it. "Let's face it. he
didn't have to pay for it." Eat in
the yard or on the porch.
Breakfast here is highly recom-
mended. While 1 was munching
the Rooster Special (S7.50 for
eggs, grits, bacon and the banana
pancakes) on the porch. I got to
hear a street person below rant
about John Hancock (the patriot,
not the insurance company). It
just added to the scene.
For a snack, locals skip Ben &
Jerry's (although there is one in
town) and go to Flamingo
Crossing (1105 Duval St.).
Homemade ice cream, gelato and
various sorbets are on the menu.
Enjoy your treat (S3.50 for two
flavors) in the garden. A musi-do
is dinner at Mangoes (700 Duval
St.). where owner Amy Culver-
Alversa. who is from Nahant and
worked at the Bostonian (now
the Millennium Bostonian Hotel )
among other Beantown venues,
and chef Paul Orchard, who
came here from P-Town. have
created a casual place for serious
foodies. Bobby Ray of Food
Network fame featured the deli-
cious passion ycllowlail snapper
sauieed with passion fruit, beurre
blanc. toasted coconut and fresh
mango ($26) on his show. The
place to be seen is the outdtxir
patio (Hillary Clinton is among
the restaurant's fans.) The friend-
ly waiters are a great source of
information on local happenings.
Enjoy a mango mojito or mango
pina colada and remember, at
Mangoes. "It's not just a fruit, it's
a lifestyle." Check out the Cuban
cuisine — as the southernmost
U.S. city. Key West is actually
closer to Havana than Miami —
at El Mason de Pepe (at Mallory
Square). There is historical mem-
orabilia about the Cuban com-
munity on the walls, and SI 6.95
gets you a sample platter
(Completa de Caballo Grande)
with three meat dishes. I espe-
cially liked the ropa vieja (which
translates to "old clothes"), a
yummy shredded beef stew.
Wash it down with a Corona.
NIGHTLIFE
Garden of Eden, above the Bull
& Whistle (224 Duval St.). is
Key West's clothing-optional bar.
Yes. naked. Venture to the garden
at the very top of the building and
hope there are people there worth
looking at. A favorite activity is
getting your body painted. Be
aware, photos are not allowed. A
few blocks away from the busy
Duval Street bar scene, and more
likely to attract locals, is Green
Parrot (601 Whitehead St.), an
open-air tropical saloon opened
in 1890. Darts, pool and pinball
keep visitors well occupied. The
wonderful jukebox features the
blues There's live music on
weekends and on many week-
nights, and there's no covjaL
charge.
SHOPPING
There arc numerous galleries irtj
artsy Key West, but for some;
thing different check out [
On (1206 Duval St.) where
art is wearable. The shop I
owner and Emerson gradual!
Ellen Steininger's hand-woven :
creations as well as clothes art by
other craftspeople, jewelry
gift items (such as nifty I
sets). Fast Buck Freddies (5
Duval St) is probably the \
department store you'll ever \
ture into. You can tell it's some-
thing special just by checking out
the elaborate window display?.
Here you'll find dresses for $40
next to ones for $200. There are
high-fashion brands such as
Lacoste and tropical brands like
Tommy Bahama. The store also
stocks decorative items like the
kind you'd find in Pier I . Bargain
hunters also will want to check
oul the store s outlet. Half Buck

mainland by a series of bridges. You can drive from Miami in
about four hours. Cape Air (800-352-0714; www.flycapeair.com)
flies small planes between Key West and Fort Lauderdale. Naples
and Fort Myers.
STAYING THERE: The 37-room Key Lime Inn (725 Truman
Ave.) is a quick walk from the main drag (Duval Street) and a
casual place with a pleasing tropical ambience. Deluxe rooms

tions, call 800-549-4430; www.keylimeinn.com.

Truman Ave.). You can ride bikes on sidewalks everywhere in
town except on busy Duval Street.

Race for selectman
seats is shaping up
Gary Vanderweil
and Debbie Shadd
pull papers this week
By Samantha Brown
SAMBROWNQCNC COM
With less than one week to go before the
deadline to take out papers for this year's
Town Election, the race for a seal on the
Board of Selectmen has begun heating
up. Currently, four contenders have taken
out papers to fill the two open seats on the
board, but what might happen in the aim-
ing week is anyone's guess.
Gary Vanderweil of Jerusalem Road
would like to use his roughly 20 years of
experience serving on the Sewer
Commission as well as his professional
engineering experience to help move the
town forward as a selectman. He said
over the past o niple of weeks, he has been
called and approached many times by res-
idents w ho have iirved him to run for a
position on the board.
"Finally. I decided I should do it" he
said, and pulled papers late Tuesday.
Debbie Shadd of Summer Street a for-
mer member i >l the Advisory Committee,
pulled papers Monday afternoon. A non-
practicing lawyer, she and her husband
Bill Grimm have been residents of the
town since 19X1.
Vanderweil is a 1958 graduate of
Cohasset High School, and says he
"knows the town quite well." because
he's lived here so long. In addition, he
said his many years of service on the
Sewer Commission have given him a
"good understanding of the people and
the town's feelings on many issues, as
well as the relationships between the
boards and committees."
Vanderweil has run his own engineer-
ing business for many years and said he
will bring good business practices and
commonsense to the board's affairs. He
said his engineering background has
trained him to approach things rationally
and strategically, and he hopes his calm
approach will be able to help ease some of
the discord he's noticed on the board. In
addition. Vanderweil said "The develop-
ment of sewers is at a critical point in
town," and he believes with his sewer
experience, he should be able to unify the
Board of Selectmen and the Sewer
Commission.
Vanderweil said his vision for the town
includes three main points. First, he
would like to preserve and enhance the
character of the town. Second, he would
like to encourage affordable ownership
housing, which he said projects such as
Avalon. Cedarmcre. and the Cook Estate
will not provide. He said there needs to
be housing available for purchase for
tow n employees such as members of the
fire and police department DPW staff,
and teachers.
"When I graduated from Cohasset High
School in 1958. I had people from all
parts of the economic spectrum in my
class." he said, which the town is contin-
ually losing. "It's not in the best interest
of the town to continue on this way," and

Wanted
to be a soldier
Peter Cogills life
is remembered
By Samantha Brown
SAMBR0WN9CNC.COM
li has been said there is a
hero in all of us. hut in reality
only S00W are brave enough
to risk ii all on behalf of our
country. It takes a special per-
son to answer the call of duty
and join the ranks of our
armed forces, and Cohasset
resideni Peter Cogill
answered that call gladly.
In July 1966. fulfilling his
dream of one day becoming a
soldier. Cogill enlisted in the
army at just 19 years old.
Leaving many friends and
family behind, he bravely set
off to serve in the Vietnam
War, not knowing he would
never return home to the town
he loved.
Cogill was bom on Jan. s.
1947. He attended the Ripley
Road School, Deer Hill
School, and was a member of
the Class of 1966 at Cohasset
High School, While living at
71 Church St, he enjoyed
landscaping for Tony Sestito.
But serving in the military
was something he had always
wanted to do. and he served
well as a Private First Class. It
seems the patriotic spirit that
lived in Cogill was a family
trait, as four of Cogill's broth-
ers and one of his sisters also
served during Vietnam.
Peter Cogill enlisted in the
Army at 19.
Cogill completed basic
training and volunteered to
attend parachute training. He
ultimately earned his jump
wings and soon joined Able
Company 326 Engineering
Battalion. 101 Airborne
Division in the Republic of
Vietnam.
After two months in the
country. Cogill was on patrol
when he came against hostile
enemy forces. On Feb. 25.
1967, while attempting to dif-
fuse a mine, his young life
was cut short when he was
killed in action. Cogill was the
second Cohasset man to die
during Vietnam, and the first
of three young men from the
Cohasset High School Class

Friends group to focus on Wompatuck
^orms to help fl Hi
Forms to help
support park
By Jeff Cutler
CORRESPONDENT
Wompatuck Stale Park may
be shared by Hingham.
Cohasset. Scituate and Norwell
but — with its more than 30
miles of biking, bridle and hik-
ing trails — the 3.500-acre park
attracts visitors from across ihe
state and country.
With literally thousands of
visitors using the park annually,
park staff doesn'i always know
what may either please or trou-
ble the different user groups.
Thai's one of the main reasons
Park Supervisor Steve Gammon
developed the proposal for a
"friends" group at Wompatuck.
"It should be made clear thai a
friends group is not an 'adviso-
ry board'." said Gammon.
"Advisory groups are often
detached from the solution. A
friends group is part of the park
and recognizes its own prob-
lems and develops solutions."
In this capacity. Gammon
explained, the Friends will iden-
tify problems and challenges al
the park and develop ways to
solve to those issues collabora-
tively.
According to Bill Boles of the
New England Mountain Bike
Association (NEMBA). a group
like Friends of Wompatuck. can
generate support for a park by
bringing together users, com-
munity members, and elected
representatives from surround-
ing towns.
He feels the first step in eslab-

lishing a successful group is gel-
ting people involved and letting
people know they hav e a say in
w hat happens at their local park
Having been involved at
Wompatuck and in NEMBA for
years. Boles thinks the response
locally will he positive.
"I would hope the community
would enthusiastically embrace
the group." he said.
"Wompatuck Slate Park is a
local treasure and we. its users,
would he remiss in our respon-
sibilities if we did nothing to
maintain and improve it."
The park is currently managed
and maintained by Gammon
and three full-time staffers. The
trails also get some necessary
altention from volunteers direct-
ed in their efforts by the
Wompatuck Trails Committee.
The Trails Committee has
seen its membership grow t>>
include equestrians, hikers and
even a gentleman who enjoys
dog sledding. While the Trails
Committee has been scheduling
about four trail days a year, it
recogni/ed that there Were user
groups that might benefit from
improvements not being dis-
cussed at its meetings
So Gammon suggested esiab

Wompatuck and Boles of ihe
Mountain Bike Association
agreed Both tell it was time to
look al Ihe park Irom a commu
nity perspective.
To this end, Boles hopes ihe

Out-of-district tuitions weigh
heavily on the school budget
By Samantha Brown
SAMBROWN»CNC.COM
Although figures are ml set in
Hope, preliminary discussions
suggest an override could be the
only way to balance the fiscal
• year 2(K)fi school budget. The
school department says special
education out of district tuition
costs arc a major conirihutine
factor.
In light ol a S3 17.775 increase
in out of district tuitions
which the town is mandated to
pay — Supt. of Schools Denise
Walsh has presented a "needs
based budget" baaed on the new
Strategic Planning five-yeat
plan for the district, which asks
for an 8.1 percent overall
increase from FY05, which ends
June 30. Walsh said when the
out-ol-disirict costs are taken
into account, the school budget
after those bills are considered
would onlv increase b\
$463,622. or 3.8 percent
Cohassel does receive SODK

tuition costs, through the state's
"circuit breaker" funding pro
gram, which will award the
town $6X.<><)0 for FY06. a figure
that is based on the previous
year's actual out-of-district tpc
cial education costs
The total FYOfi special educa-
tion budget — which includes
both in house and out ol -district
services — is a little more than
S3 million. It is anticipated in
FYII6. the cost lor oul-ot disii k i
tuitions alone will he roughly
$1352305. Walsh anticipate*
based on this year's special edu-
cation costs, the town will

Under the circuit breaker s\s

percentage of money, up to 75
percent, to school districts
whose educational costs exceed
four times the state average
foundation budget, or $32,000,

department anticipates it will
need Si His 1. 147. an increase
ol 1981.397 over last year.
School < ommtttec Chairman
Rick Shea said the discussion
thai must now take place is
deciding whelhct the increase in
special education out-of-district
costs should affect the in-dislrict
program and whether the
schools should ask the town to
help share the cost.
"This is a town wide ohliga-
lion. in it |tist the sc hools." he
said; Shea pointed out there are
often agnificunf medical obliga-
tions with some Special educa-
tion student , and I hose are costs
that llilisl be paid

Salary commitments

ly III perccnl ui the school
dcpaHineiil budget It is the
saiaiv commitments for
eiuplovces. which at
S9JI I.SI l.ut ^i percent ol the
budget, provide an even bigger
challenge
Walsh said the department is
currently in the process ol nego-
tiating the collective bargaining
agreement with the teachers
union. "The contract ends in
June." Walsh said, but at this
point in the process, she said a
/cm percent sal.u v increase has
been factored in the budget for
teachers. Administrators will
receive a salary increase this
vear. as ihey took a zero percent
increase last year.
"This is a town-
wide obligation, not
just the schools."
School Committee
Chairman Rick shea
When asked b\ School
Committee Jamie Williams
whether it is likely teachers will
lake a zero percent salary
increase this year. Walsh said "It
is likely to happen, although we
have no settlement right now.
People do realize this is an
extraordinary vear."
During the budget summit
held Wednesday, Feb. 2. mem-
bers ol the Board of Selectmen
and Advisor) Committee asked
Walsh lor some of the specifics
regarding teacher salaries.
Because salaries do make up
such a large portion of the
school budget, coming up with a
firm number could help the
department move forward in
terms of getting a handle on the
costs it will lie expected lo pay.
Contracts are negoiialed for
three yean at a time, and since
negotiations are underway and
depending on Ihe settlement
reached, it not clear whether
even without a contractual
salary increase in year one. the
ntone) could be made up in the
following two years. In addition.
Walsh said many leachers will
still receive step increases and
column changes, which means
those who quality will see an
increase in their paychecks,
which affects the bottom line of
ihe schixil budget
School Financial Assistant
Karen Park said the schools use
a payroll service to generate
checks, and currently, the
schools do not know what the
actual payments for employees
are. She said because one
employee may receive a salary
and another might he paid with a
grant, there is no way of know -
ing how much employees are
receiving. Park said there is one
person who inputs the salary fig-
ures provided by the payroll
company into a computer pro-
gram which is then able to pro-
vide the year-to-date actuals.
However, she said because there-
are more than 2(K) employees in
the school system, and only one
person lo input Ihe numbers, the
figures are roughly two months
behind.
Advisory Committee member
Vivien Bobo asked whether the
schools could request the pay-
roll company send the numbers
of money paid to-date for
salaries, which would give the
department solid numbers to
work with. Selectman Rob
Spot lord said if salaries are paid
every two weeks at the same
rate, it should he easy lo figure
out the amount of money being
paid for a good portion of the
employees.
Selectmen Chairman Michael
Sullivan said every year, a bud-
get has been presented lo the
town, and wondered "How has
it all of a sudden become not
accurate?"
Walsh, who came on board
last summer, said she could not
respond to thai. "Nor would I if
I could." she said. But Walsh did
say the budgetary trouble is not
the result of any mis-manage-
ment or misuse of funds.
Sullivan then asked whether
the school department can go
back into the budgets for the
2002, 2003, and 2004 fiscal
years and try lo figure out where
things went wrong.
"I"d just ralher move for-
ward." said Walsh, adding there
were -imply some numbers in
the past which had to he
guessed
Spofford said before the
school department can move
forward with the FYU6 budget,
it is important to get a handle on
Ihe FY05 budeel.
However. Walsh said "FY05 is
still a mystery, and we won t
know until the books are
Closed," but the school depart-
menl is taking measures to help
increase revenue to offset eosls.
When asked by Sullivan whal
kind of an impact the additional
revenue w ill have on Ihe budgel.
Walsh said " I can't give you a
number."

In addition. Vanderweil said his
third goal is to work toward fiscal
stability and controlled tax rates,
which as a citizen, is of great
importance to him.
Shadd has seen her three chil-
dren through the school system,
and was very involved with many
different aspects of the Schools
along the way.
Shadd has served as President of
the PSO. was a member of the
CMHS School council from 2000
to 2004, and was involved when
the schools were going through
the accreditation process.
Currently, one of her children is
off at college, and the other two
are in high school.
In addition to her experience
with the schools, Shadd also
served on the Advisory
Committee from 1997 to 2003.
and even serv ed as Vice Chairman
for a time. She has also been a
longtime Director of the Cohasset
Conservation Trust.
"I*ve been off the Advisory
Committee tor a couple of years,
and I missed being involved with
the issues." she said, adding it was
nice to have a break, and now she
is ready to get back into serving.
"I look forward to working with
other boards and the citizens of the
town." she said.
Shadd said she greatly enjoys
working on policy issues, and she
gained much experience with poli-
cy during her time on the Advisory
Committee. She said she realizes
the challenges ahead and said she
looks forward to "making progress
and resolving some of the issues
we're facing right now."
Shadd said she isn't running with
any particular agenda in mind.
"All the issues at the forefront are
important and I'd like to continue
working in a positive way to move
forward," she said. The town is
currently in a unique position with
a new set of people in the top posi-
tions, and Shadd said between the
new town manager, superinten-
dent, and police chief. "There's a
lot of room to start fresh. It's a
great time for the town."
Roger Hill of Highland Avenue
pulled papers roughly two weeks
ago, and said with the other candi-
dates that have come forward
since then, he doesn't think he'll
be turning his papers in. "I'm very
happy on the Advisory
Committee." he said, but had gone
ahead with plans to run for office
based on the fear the race might be
uncontested.

Selectmen twice in the past. Three
years ago. he ran against
Selectman Ronnie McMorris,
who recently announced she will
not be running for reelection, as
well as Selectman Fred
who pulled papers to retain
seat last Friday. Hill said ■
that election, he came within'
roughly 14 voles of Koed and 26
of McMorris.
The following year. Hill ran
against Selectman Michael
Sullivan for a single seat on the
board, and came in second.
Following the election. Hill joined
the Advisory Committee where he
has been for the past three years.
In other election news, Pamela

Full-day kindergarten plan
raises academic questions
SAMBROWNOCNC.COM
The school department has
floated starting an optional,
full-day tuition based kinder-
garten program as a way to
provide more educational
opportunity for youngsters and
increase revenue. Although a
formal vole has not been taken
to implement the program,
many questions have been
raised since its proposal,
including whether students
who do not participate will be
at an academic disadvantage
from their participating peers.
At a Feb. 2 budget summit
with the Advisory Committee.
Board of Selectmen, and
School Committee, Supt. of
Schools Denise Walsh dis-
cussed the possibility of offer-
ing full-day kindergarten
beginning this fall. She said
the state requires every town
to provide a half-day kinder-
garten program and that will
not change.
"The option is adding an
additional half-day." she said,
adding parents have been
"most supportive" of the con-
cept.
"I'm not going to

— Pat Waters. Advisory
Committee
Students, who attend the full-
day program would be charged
roughly SI.8IK) each per year,
while students who attend the
half-day program will not be
charged. Walsh said there
would be money available to
offer a slidinj; Ice scale for
families that cannot afford the
full tuition cum. She said
every family will have the
option to enroll their child in
either program, and would
make the choice that best suits
their family situation.
Advisory Committee mem-
ber Pat Waters said he has a
child, who will be entering
kindergarten this fall. He said
in his opinion if a full-day
program is offered — making
the choice to not enroll his
child and possibly put the stu-
dent at a disadvantage —
would not be an option. "I'm
not going to roll the dice with
my kids." he said, adding he
didn't understand how the
public school district could
oiler such a program, but not
fund it. "You're asking half a
class "i a kindergarten crass to
subsidize the school budget
and it's not right." he said.
Waters added, if the program
is intended to serve more as a
revenue producer than as an
enhancement to education.
"Don'l call it full-day kinder-
garten (to guilt parents into
wanting to enroll their chil-
dren I. "
However, Walsh reiterated
the program is optional and
today many children have
been in school lull-time since
Survey shows support for
full-day kindergarten
A full-day kindergarten
ftisibility task force, estab-
lished in the spring of 2003.
has been working hard to
determine whether full day
kindergarten is an option,
and what kinds of financial
benefits it could have.
Members of the task force
included Osgood Principal
Janet Sheehan, Curriculum
Coordinator Ruth Fennessey.
Osgood Adjustment
Counselor Bob LeCount, as
well as parents, kindergarten
teachers, preschool teachers,
and special education teach-
ers.
The group developed and
distributed a district survey
to collect input regarding
whether residents would like
to see full-day kindergarten
implemented in Cohassei.
Surveys were distributed to
parents of Deer Hill and
Osgood students, as well as
the local preschools.
Sheehan presenied the
findings of the surveys to the
School Committee in
December, and said roughly
159 surveys — or 20 percent
— were returned of approxi-
mately 475 distributed at
Osgood. 375 at Deer Hill and
from 25 to 50 at local
preschools. Roughly 52 per-
cent of parents, who
responded, said they would
enroll their child in a.tuition-
based full-day program,
while 30 percent said they
would not enroll their child
Seven percent were unsure,
and 7 percent reported
enrollment was not applica-
ble.
The task force report stales
research has shown children
have greater academic and
social, success in school by
participating in full-day
kindergarten programs, and
that full-day kindergarten
children perform better than
half-day kindergarten chil-
dren. It also stales children
are better prepared to make
the transition to first grade,
and that children score high-
er on achievement tests if
ihey are enrolled in full-day
kindergarten programs.
The task force also exam-
ined dala relative to full-day
programs across the state and
found 55 percent of
Massachusetts school dis-
tricts offer full-day kinder-
garten. However, space and
fiscal resources have been
the top two barriers to imple-
menting programs. In fiscal
year 2004, 71 percent of dis-
tricts starting new programs
were charging parents a
tuition ranging from $1,265
to $3,700 per year for the
second half of the day.
they were 2-1/2 or 3 years old
and are ready to be in kinder-
garten on a full-lime basis. The
school district would like lo be
able to provide that opportuni-
ty, she said.
Advisory Committee mem-
ber Susan Kent said while the
implementation of full-day
kindergarten is something she
supports in concept. "We have
a covenant with these people"
meaning the parents of kinder-
garten students. In her opinion.
Kent said the town should
avoid charging for what she
feels are services a public-
school system should automat-
ically provide.
Kenl agreed with Waters and
said some parents might feel if
their child isn't participating in
the full-day kindergarten pro-
gram for whatever reason, he
or she might be ai a disadvan-
tage from those who are.
Walsh said she has worked in
other school districts which
have full-day kindergarten
programs and she has seen a
number of parents, who wish
to keep their children ai home
and would much prefer serv-
ing as the child's teacher for
the second hall of the day. By
making it an option for chil-
dren to stay and continue their
lessons for a full day. those
parents, who wish to keep their
children home may do so. sin-
said.
Selectman Ralph Dormit/er
said his wife Jackie often lakes
care of their grandson during
the school year, and he said the
both his grandson and Jackie's
lives are enriched by spending
time together learning. In his
view, ihey would much prefer
having ihe option to keep the
grandson with them for the
second half of the day.

Dog succumbs to icy waters
Second canine
to require rescue
By Mary Ford
MF0R0VCNC.COM
Last week, there was a happy
ending to the story about a local
dog that fell through the ice on
Little Harbor.
Bui this week, (here is sad news
to report A different dog that
wandered out onto the ice at
roughly the same spot, fell
through and succumbed to the
icy waters of Little Harbor
despite Ihe fire department's
efforts to save it last Friday
morning (Feb. 4).
Fire Capt. Robert Silvia said
the ice rescue sled kept breaking
through the ice off Beach Street
impeding efforts to reach the
barking dog, which he described
as a mixed breed weighing about
35-40 pounds.
Silvia explained two firefight-
ers in immersion suits worked
with the sled and a boat, which
they borrowed from the area, lo
try and reach the dog.
He explained with the snow
cover, Little Harbor and the
yards that back onto it all look
the same. But with temperatures
above freezing, the ice under the
snow on the water's surface got
very thin.
"Two weeks ago we were able
to put a sled on it," Silvia said
about the Jan. 24 dog rescue.
"Bui that wasn't the case last
week."
'Two weeks ago
we were able to
put a sled on it
But that wasn't the
case last week."
— Fire Capl. Robert Silvia
Silvia said he was concerned
about the firefighters. Frank
Mahoney and Bob Protulis. try-
ing to rescue the dog.
"Anytime you put guvs in the
water there's a danger to say the
very least." he said, explaining
the two men were tethered to
shore.
He also explained that animals,
like people, can succumb to
hypothermia.
The veterinarian treating the
yellow lah saved two weeks mo
was pleased with the outcome
because a lot of times when the
core temperature drops, the ani-
mal does not survive. Silvia
explained. According to Paulina
Cowen. the lab's owner, her dog
was having violent seizures by
the lime she got it to the
Hingham Animal Hospital. The
veterinarian and his staff worked
on the dog for two hours and
"pulled a miracle and saved her."
Cowcn staled in a thank you let-
ter-to-the-editor this week to the
lire departmenl and veterinarian.
The lab had been in the water
for 45 minutes or more.
Firelighters estimated il had only
about 30 seconds left before it
would have succumbed to Ihe
freezing water.
Last week, the mixed-breed
dog died just as the firefighters
reached it.
Silvia said there have been
reports of kids on the ice in the
cove in ihe harbor, which he
noted is really disturbing because
salt and tidal Hows make it even
more likely the ice is unsafe.
'This is a lesson for every-
one." he said. "The ice looks safe
enough, but it isn't."

Water quality problem solved
TTHMS drop to
acceptable level
By Samantha Brown
SAMBROWN9CNC.COM
ll has been roughly one month
since members of ihe Waier
Commission informed residents
the town had violated a water
quality standard, and had
exceeded the maximum conta-
minant level of 80 parts per bil-
lion for drinking water for Total
Trihalomethanes. or TTHMs.
Fortunately, quick action and
collaboration has solved the
problem.
'The key is running the plant
24 hours a day."' said Chairman
of the Water Commission John
McNabb, which will keep water
flowing, thereby reducing
TTHM levels TTHMs are
funned when chlorine mixes
with organic matter, and h\
keeping the water continually in
motion, chlorine has less oppor-
tunity to read with the organic
mailer in ihe system. Although
[here is no immediate risk born
drinking water with elevated
levels of TTHMs. it is a known
carcinogen, that if ingested over
man) J ears can cause damage to
ihe liver, kidneys, and central
nervous system, and may
increase the risk of cancer.
McNabb said w hen the depart-
ment found its average over the
lasi year was in the range of 100
parts per billion, it immediately
began taking action to correct
the problem. By first changing
the coagulant used during the
treatment process, test results
from early January showed lev-
els had dropped from % ppb. as
the department reported in
December, to 80 ppb. Levels
have continued to drop and were
recently as low as 71 ppb.
At weekly Water Department
meetings. McNabb, as well as
Commissioners Glenn Pratt and
Nathaniel Palmer, have worked
closely with me department's
engineering consultants from
Tutela Engineering Associates.
Inc.. Weston & Sampson, and
Norfolk Ram, as well as
American Water, which operates
and maintains the Water
Department for the town, to
solve the problem. In addition,
ihe department has been in con-
sultation with two national
TTHM experts, Tim O'Brien of
American Water and Dr. David
Reckhow of UMass Amherst,
who have offered valuable
advice.
McNabb said the department
has already completed an eight
day 24-hour operation trial run
ai the water treatment plant, dur-
ing which time tests were con-
ducted three times per day. The
end result showed levels had
been reduced by an additional
roughly 35 percent, or around
44 ppb-
"The key is
24 hours a day."
-John McNabb.
Water Commission
McNabb said by being able 10
operate the plant for 24-hours
per day, instead of the roughly
eight hours during which it is
currently operating. TTHMs
will be reduced and the continu-
al flow of fresh water through
the system will also improve
taste and odor for customers.
However, operating the plant
constantly w ill require addition-
al Staff, and there will be some-
planning necessary before it
becomes a reality. In the future.
McNabb said the department
will he looking into purchasing
instrumentation which would
allow the plant to run unmanned
part-time.
Other steps to ensure the town
will continue to receive high
quality drinking water include
moving the pre-chlorination
point to after the filter, and
installing bailies in the finished
clearwell at the plant by the end
of March. A baffle is a barrier in
the clearwell (or tank) that can
effect a maze for the water to
follow. This will ensure when
chlorine is injected at a certain
point, it will have lime to dis-
solve in the water, thereby
reducing the ability of the chlo-
rine to create TTHMs. In addi-
tion, by the end of June the
department hopes to replace the
filler media, to increase the
removal of organic matter,
which will also help further
reduce TTHM levels.
All water systems use chlorine
to disinfect their water, and
McNabb pointed out chlorine is
a very important cleansing agent
which is essential to public
health, but the challenge is to
use it in balance. "You can't
take it out or you'll have a much
worse problem." he said, as
untreated water in other coun-
tries has in some cases caused
people to die of bacterial infec-
tions. He said it is a constant
balancing act to reduce the con-
tact time chlorine has with the
water, while still keeping within
the required contact time to kill
bacteria
Compliance with the TTHM
standard is based on the average
of four quarterly samples.
McNabb said as a result, even
though the problem has been
solved, he is anticipating the
town will still be in violation at
the end of the first quarter, as
previous readings will be fac-
tored in. However, he said the
department expects to reach
compliance for the second quar-
ter, and to meet the standards
consistently in the future.
Cohasset's water supply
includes the Aaron River
Reservoir and Lily Pond, and
the Water Department has been
working since early 2003 to
meet the 80 ppb standard.
However, improvements at the
plant did not take effect soon
enough in 2004 to reduce the
running annual average. Testing
for TTHMs is a regulation that
did not apply lo the town prior to
2004. McNabb said previously,
only large cities with a popula-
tion of more than 10.000 resi-
dents were required to test
The Water Department will
send nut a notice to all cus-
tomers very SOOfl With an update
on the developments at the
plant, but in the meantime, there
is information available on the
department's Web site at
wHw.cohasseHvater.orx. The
department encouranes any res-
idents with health related ques-
tions to seek advice from their
physician.

Unsightly Rosano Triangle
could undergo transformation
Office-residence
gets zoning OK
By Mary Ford
MF0RD«CNC.C0M
This is one landmark whose
pending demise its owner is
even lauding.
A recent Zoning Board of
Appeals decision could trans-
late into the end of the notori-
ous 27,000-square-foot
"Rosano Triangle" known for
its unsightly mountain of loam
and storage of landscape male-
rials at the corner of Route 3A
and lower King Street.
Even its owner. Joseph
Rosano. says he's embarrassed
to say he owns the parcel he
readily describes as an "eye-
sore and junkyard for earth
material" which sits at the end
of a residential street.
"Who wants lo live next to
that?" he asked, although some
neighbors argue he has done
little to clean up the existing
site.
But ii hasn't been for lack of
effort on Rosano's part to
transform the construction
storage site into an aesthetical-
ly pleasing office-home.
In the past five years alone.
Joseph Rosano has twice
before applied for special per-
mits and variances to trans-
form the site that haven't
passed muster. (Its current non-
residential use predates zoning
and is therefore grandfa-
thered.)
According to the ZBA deci-
sion filed this week, here's the
history of attempts to rezone
ihe site:
• 1956 — variance denied
having a business in a residen-
tial district;
• 1978 — rezoning denied at
the annual Town Meeting,
from the residential district to
the highway business district;
• 1992 — variances denied to
allow a building with a doc-
tor's office and single apart-
ment While the doctor's office
was granted via a special per-
FILE PH0I0
The Zoning Board of Appeals has set the stage for a professional
office/residence where the mountain ofloam now sits at 3A and
lower King Street
mil, no variance was granted;
• 2000 — variances and spe-
cial permits denied for iwo
one-bedroom apartments and
an automobile sales office
• 21X13 — variances and spe-
cial permits denied for a two-
story professional building
containing two residential
apartments.
This week, the ZBA granted
Special Permits with condi-
tions to allow the construction
of a professional office and
single residential unit at the
site, housed in a single struc-
ture. The plans are reduced in
scope from Ihe 2IKH) and 2003
applications and meet parking
setback requirements. They
also require the lirsl floor be
used as a medical and/or pro-
fessional office and the second
floor as a single residential
apartment Cedar trees will be
planted lo provide 100 percent
screening from residences; sig-
nage will conform wilh Ihe
bylaw; and the site will include
19 parking spaces
ZBA Chairman Woody
Chitlick explained a home-
office use is pcrmiltcd in a res-
idential district ihe only differ-
ence here being ihe profession-
al, who has the office, may not
be the same person who resides
in the resideniial unit.
The ZBA decision states the
board concluded ihe proposed
non-conforming uses of the
premises as a combined pro-
fessional office building and
single-unil residence is far less
delri mental to the neighbor-
hood, and to the town as a
whole, than is continuation of
ihe existing non-conforming
use.
Chitlick said while the deci-
sion - a copy of which has
been filed with the Town Clerk
and Planning Board — may
not please every neighbor, he
hopes Rosano does "an A- 1
job" fixing the area up.
Rosano said he is going to
model the structure after the
antique colonial ai ihe corner
of Beach Street and Highland
Avenue, which is in an historic
district.
Rosano said he hopes to start
work on the site in the spring
There are other issues to be
resolved, including a Board of
Health approval for a septic
system upgrade.
"This is the best use anyone
can make of that site without a
doubt" he said.

; FROM PARK. PAGE 1
Wompatuck \s user groups. This
includes anyone who comes
through Ihe gates at the park, not
iust residents from Hingham.
Cohasset Norwell and Scituate.
Boles, who is from Brockton,
believes the Friends' members
will be drawn from "the diverse
groups that use Wompatuck State
• Park, although local representation
- from the surrounding towns will
- be encouraged."
t Steve Cobble is also a NEMBA
member and is acting as a liaison
between Friends and the mountain
bike community. He has a strong
feeling that this group will be a
benefit to Wompatuck ;ind all its
lasers. As a member of Blue Hills
Trail Watch and Bike Quincy.
Cobble has seen other groups
make a positive difference in com-
munity recreation.
Cobble has been the organizer
for the initial meetings of the
Friends and he's excited about the
prospect of cultivating more peo-
ple's input.
"Hopefully the Friends gn>up
will have support from all users so
we can have a diverse set of ideas
and opinions." said Cobble. "As
far as NEMBA is concerned, we
are not there to take away or
relieve them in any way of the
ongoing trail maintenance pro-
jects. If anything, the Friends
would be a community voice that
would remind people who has
been doing this work."
Cobble is from Quincy and
noted people from all over the
region use the park and want to be
involved.
"So far we've got people from
Marshfield. Plympton. Carver,
Brockton. Quincy. Hopkinton.
Acton. Hull, and just about ever)
South Shore town." he said.
"Members are mostly involved
because they enjoy the park in one
w ay or another. "
Alice Maim ilk- is from
Amesbury and hopes the Friends
will be successful for both users
and the area.
Friends group to focus on Wompatuck
"Groups like Friends of
Wompatuck create a win/win situ-
ation." she said. 'They are com-
mitted to the preservation of open
space which in rum provides ihe
public with a valuable resource for
outdoor recreation. There is no
cost to the government or the tax-
payer. Without groups like
Friends, cities and towns may oth-
erwise not be able to afford to pro-
vide this service."
Mainville's perspective on cost
savings comes from her experi-
ence as a former municipal coun-
cilor. And her comments bring up
a point Wompatuck users might
not know — monies collected by
the park can end up in different
coffers.
For example, fees collected at
Wompatuck for camping or even
for parking will go right to the
slate. But. if someone makes a
donation to the park, it slays at
Wompatuck and is used for the
betterment of its facilities. It hasn't
been determined yet il the Friends
will try and generate its own funds
to be earmarked for park improve-
ments, but if so. those monies
should remain at Wompatuck.
Gammon said he thinks the
Department of Conservation and
Recreation (IX'R). whose juris-
diction includes state porks, will
charge fees as it sees fit and that
money goes back into the state
government. But. donations to the
park's conservation trust fund can
he used for Wompatuck as well as
any funds raised by Ihe Friends.
Fixing gates and improving park
buildings may fail under the
umbrella ol the Mate's responsibil-
ities, but building bridges and
adjusting trail routes takes time
and money. To generate some of
this income, the Friends has
already reached out to local busi-
nesses.

his shop hosts a road bike racing
series in the park during the sum-
mer. The attention and assistance
ot park stall and s arii his users has
made his events quite popular. For
this reason. Quint) recognizes the
importance ol a community voice
within Wompatuck
"As the ow net of a business that
readily recommends Wompatuck
State Park to many ol its cus-
tomers, I feel thai I have an oblig-
ation to belong 10 the Friends of
Wompatuck.'' said Quinn "As g
bicyclist. I never forget how lucky
we are to have the park for the
mad riding and orf-road riding that
we do. I'm sure that I speak for all
the local cycling clubs."
Jim Dillon of Scituate echoes the
hope for positive community
involvement, although he's not
sure Ihe Friends will draw a w ide
audience.
"I don't think that I people w ill l
care, unless they use the park, and
care what goes on there." said
Dillon. The last meeting we had
several neighbors ihat had con-
cerns about what was going on
near the South Pleasant Street gate
and if that area was going to be
cleaned up. We all listened, we all
now know w hat's up. we all know
what's going to be done and why.
We were all winners."
Boles of the Mountain Bike
Association hopes that the Friends
will add to this winning feeling.
"I hope the park that I enjoy so
much will improve as time goes
on." said Boles "And that it will
continue to provide an unspoiled
natural outlet where the area's peo-
ple can enjoy an outdoor experi-
ence."
Anyone is welcome at the
Friends meetings, whether they
use Wompatuck once a year, sea-
sonally or every day.
"Wompatuck is not just trees,
ponds, wildlife and fresh air." said
Gammon, the park supervisor.
"Wompatuck is tun. fitness, mem-
ones, work, history and more "

painted hearts for the event
Whitlcmorc said in addition
to the children, there have been
many people who have come
together to make the Valentine
Fund Dance possible. Local
bands, the Pemberton Hill
Players and Shaken Not Stirred,
will both play during the bene-
fit, and have generously donat-
ed their services. In addition,
there will be a drumhead auc-
tioned off. which has been
signed by all five members of
Aerosmith. as well as art by
local artists, including Donna
Green and Tina Watson.
Whittemore said there have
been so many people from in
and around Cohasset thai have
donated their time or services, it
has been wonderful 10 see. and
he is really looking forward not
only to raising money for a
good cause, but to having a
great time. "It's a great cure for
cabin fever," he said.
Berman said she really enjoys
being able to provide her stu-
dents with an opportunity to
become involved in projects
such as this, as they can realize
that even at a young age. they
can truly make a difference.
"My kids are doing a great job.
and we're really happy to
help." she said.
Fourth-grade student Bryanna
Valentine said she has painted
about five hearts for the fund-
raiser, and she is very glad to be
making something for someone
else to enjoy. "I switch them a
little every lime so they're all
different," she said, but all are
combinations of pink, white.

and red. She said she has
enjoyed being a pan of the pro-
ject because she thinks it's nice
to help people who don't have
anything.
Giselle Hart who is also in
fourth grade, said she comes to
after-school an aboul once a
week. Because she enjoys
working with clay, one of the
best pans for her was rolling
out the clay and stamping OUl
the hean shapes She said it has
been a lot of work, but she has
enjoyed expressing her artistic-
side and even tried painting one
of her hearts with a plaid
design.
Third-grade student Angel
Hunter said Valentine's Day is
one of her favorite holidays,
especially because her birthday
is the day after, and she has had
a lot of fun participating in the
Valentine's Fund Dance pro-
ject She said so far. she has
painted about eight hearts, and
she feels "really good." about
having been able to help.
Thirdgrade student Jake
Masci made his first heart
Tuesday. "I think it's nice to
help for the fund raiser and I
like painting loo." he said.
Bui Maggie Ernst who is also
in third grade has been very
busy, and said she has painted
10 hearts. She said red is her
favorite Color, "and that's why
I'm using it."
The Valentine's Fund Dance-
will be held at the Atlanuca
Restauranl on Cohasset Harbor.
Saturday. Feb. 19 from H p.m.
until 12:30 a.m. The requested
donation is $20 per person. In
light of people's contributions
to the tsunami victim's in
Southeast Asia, the donation for
this year's dance has been low-
ered by 20 percent.
Whittemore said while many
people have been extremely
generous in remembering those
who have been left homeless as
a result of the tsunami, it is very
important to remember there
are more than three million
adults and children who experi-
ence homelessness each year
here in America.
Hors d'oeuvres will be pro-
vided by Allantica staff. For

Special
Education
As a society, we have the obligation 10 educate all children
whether through regular education programs or special educa-
tion sen ices.
Massachusetts has one of the most comprehensive special
education laws in the country and many would argue that is
indicative of the government and culture of our state, which
Dill) believes "no child should be left behind."
Bui vv ith that being said, there are extenuating circumstances
like those being reported in Cohasset that can put too much of
.1 burden on "us" - the residential taxpayers.
We understand two children, who do not live in town but
whose legal guardian does, are going to require out-of-district
tuition lor special care next year, in fiscal year 2006 and
C ohasset must loot the bill.
Because the state's "circuit breaker" program operates a year
behind meaning it is based on special education costs for the
prioi year the Cohasset school budget has to absorb the lion's
share "I the expense, w hich could be several hundred thousand
We agree With School Committee Chairman Rick Shea, this
isn't a school problem, it's a town problem. Those OUt-of-dis-
trict tuitions - even though they represent a relatively small per-
centage ol the total school budget — could fuel the need for
higher taxes lo cover the cost which affects all taxpayers. It's
important to remember that most of the school budget is salaries
with only roughly 30 percent for every thing else, including sup-
plies, maintenance and other services.
There are very sensitive issues here: the school department
cm say little because it has an obligation to educate all students
under its care, even it that requires a special school or full-time
nursing home.
However, adding the responsibility for these tuitions onto the
school budget at the I Ith hour seems inherently unfair. It is
impossible to plan and budget without being able to predict a
substantial cost such as this. It is one thing to estimate how
man) new families with children are coming lo town and it's
quite another, to figure in enormously expensive out-of-district
tuitions without warning.
We urge the Selectmen and School Committee to invite state
Sen. Robert Hedlund and state Rep. Garrett Bradley to a meet-
ing as soon as possible to discuss special legislation to help
Cohasset. Perhaps there is a way to allow the "circuit breaker"
in these extreme eases to kick in for the current year. It's worth
exploring.
One number
cruncher
The Selectmen need to open the warrant and insert and article
for the annual Town Meeting expanding the town finance direc-
tor position to also oversee the school budget. In other words,
the finance director would also be the "business manager" for
the schools.
We are "one" town with two budgets that are approved as one
at Town Meeting. It is apparent that having one person oversee
both would not only expedite the process but provide for much
better communication and even unity.
We're not sure what legal hurdles might have to be cleared to
accomplish this: it could be Cohasset would need a home rule
petition.
It's a bold step and one the Selectmen need to take now, even
if the School Committee balks at the idea.
From where we sit, we're deeply concerned the taxpayers
don't have the stomach (or the wallets) to endure another over-
ride this year, which doesn't bode well for our schools if current
financial reports continue.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Paying the price for being
unable to work together
to thk Editor:
The idea of a circular firing squad seems to
have inspired Cohasset: witness the inane
behavior of the townspeople in failing to
drive the Cook estate project to fruition.
Responding to a need for affordable hous-
ing, a group of responsible citi/ens put
together this rather complicated project. A
large majority at Town Meeting understood
its economic benefit as well as its role in eas-
ing the pressure by the Commonwealth to
prov ide senior affordable housing, and voted
to approve it. The subsequent bidding
process resulted in selection of the Northland
Corporation to develop the project.
Unfortunately, more detailed examination
of the site revealed inadequate capacity of the
soil to absorb the clean treated water dis-
charge from an on-site waste treatment plant.
Although the capacity of town's waste treat-
ment plant could be increased to accommo-
date Little Harbor and Cook and the other
currently known developments, the Cook
project was denied access to that capacity for
fear of setting a precedent that would result in
exhausting our treatment capacity with sub-
sequent developments and before all homes
needing hook-up are served.
Hull has plenty of excess capacity which is
for sale, and Northland is interested in con-
necting to the Hull plant. But our Sewer
Commission claims the right of approval of
any sewer pipe crossing town property, and is
denying that approval.
Because the Town's elements are unable to
act together cohesively with a common goal:
(lo make the project work), what is
Northland to do? It could abandon the project
and leave the trustees of the Cook estate to
sell the land for conventional development,
or it could cut its ties to the Town, make a
new deal with the trustees, and develop the
site with "market-rate" units, few enough in
number to match the limited capacity of the
soil to absorb the effluent from an on-site
treatment system. Thus we would lose out on
the much needed affordable units, and lose
the one-time profit we would have gained
from the original plan.
And guess what? At least one selectman is
reputed to be encouraging Northland to do
just that!
Just to thicken the stew, several individual
citizens have publicized their peculiar objec-
tions and can be expected to continue.
If there are any winners in this orgy of self-
destruction, it surely isn't us. Maybe some
developer will profit from the leavings.

Tothf. Editor:
What's best for the Town of Cohasset?
Shouldn't that be the question on any resi-
dent's mind as they hear about, read about,
talk about or (dare we hope) seek to learn
more about the collection of choices the
Town is faced with making in the near
future? Sadly, in the case of the plans to
sewer the Little Harbor area, that is not at all
what seems to be getting the most attention.
This Town committed years ago to sewer-
ing certain areas around Little Harbor. If you
had polled Town Meeting last Dec. 6, 1 don't
believe a single person would have raised a
hand against that idea. We have as a Town
invested $2 million dollars so far towards
that goal. Yet, certain people who will, not
coincidentally, directly benefit from that pro-
ject have decided we're not moving fast
enough to suit them.
It appears that they feel they are in direct
competition with every other pending polen-

tial sewer project and thai they want more of
a commitment. They have a right to their
opinion, wrong as it may be. and to make it
heard. But they are very wrong to try to
demonize elected Town officials in doing so;
and lo agitate lor things that are clearly not in
Cohassei's interest, such as seeking lo have
the Town fined or suggesting it volunteer to
add more teeth to the Second Amended Final
Judgment the Commonwealth holds against
us. just for their convenience.
Little Harbor is only a piece of the puzzle,
after all. We need to sewer other crucial loca-
tions to protect our watershed and we need
more capacity to do so. We need to consider
how to lake advantage of available neighbor-
ing capacity as we develop and build a sec-
ond treatment plant. We need to erase the
affordable housing shortage and be able to
manage future growth. I don't expect to see
sewer in Beechwood in my lifetime, but it
should be written somewhere in our book of
good stewardship, since it sits right on the
water supply.
Many people in Cohasset. not least the
Selectmen and other boards, have been
working towards these goals for some time.
The Cook Estate project right now offers a
rare chance lo make some genuine progress,
without any impact on the Little Harbor
effort, and with the added benefit of produc-
ing substantial income to the Town. If any-
thing should be a priority, it should be not los-
ing this opportunity!
We should continue working together on
getting these things done, for all of us. A
Special interest group should not be working
against the interest of the Town, persisting in
distracting it from its important business, for
its own members' personal gain.

Our water and warnings about shoveling snow
By Steve Bobo
SPECIAL TO THE MARINER
The Board of Health recently
met with John McNabb. chair-
man of the Water Commission,
to discuss Trihalomeihanes
TTHMs and the remediation
work going on lo remove them.
One of the initiatives is to
improve the accuracy of predic-
tion and assessment of the pres-
ence of TTHMs in various parts
of the water supply system.
High levels of TTHMs exist
only in limited locations w ithin
the distribution system, and thai
the level varies with the time the
water is in the pipes. Hence the
age of the water in the pipes is
important and measurement of
this parameter in the system is
necessary.
Accordingly, the Board of
Health was requested and voted
to permit the Water Department
to conduct a test in which fluo-
ride is removed from the water
supply for a period of four
weeks. As you know, fluoride is
included in the water supply in a
concentration of one part per
million to prevent tooth decay in
the developing teeth of infants
and growing children. The pur-
pose of removing fluoride is to
do a tracer analysis: Shut off the
How of fluoride and measure its
concentration at many places in
the distribution system; the rate
at which the concentration of
fluoride drops at any location
gives an indication of travel time
of water from the plant to that
site. Removal of fluoride for a
period of two to four weeks will
have no negative health effects
on the developing teeth of
infants and children.
It's important for the water sup-
ply to contain the lowest possible
levels of TTHMs and important
for you to follow the progress of
the Water Department in remov-
ing them. The Commissioners
have been meeting weekly and
will continue meeting weekly
until the problem is solved. The
Commissioners have made con-
siderable progress, and the TTHM
level is now within the acceptable
range. However, the Town must
provide a three-month running
av erage of TTHM levels for the
past four quarters to the State and.
because of carryover high levels
from last year, the levels to be
reported next will be higher than
acceptable. Meanwhile, the
Water Dept. web page
www.cohas.selwater.org is an
important resource and can give
excellent information on the prob-
lem, what is being done and what
you can do.
Shoveling snow
and heart attacks
Shoveling snow is hard work.
Everybody knows that, but it
can also bring on a heart attack.
According to recent articles in
the press. David Nyhan, popular
Boston Columnist and several
others in the greater Boston area
(at least six have been reported
recently), have suffered fatal
heart attacks while shoveling
snow.
The reason is that snow shov-
eling is a so called isometric
exercise in which muscles are
contracted against heavy loads
for relatively extended periods.

Train construction can proceed
MAKING TRACKS
Tom Gruber and Mark Brennan
Editor's note: On Jan. II, the Town Manager
appointed Tom Gruber and Mark Brennan as
Special Assistants to the Town Manager for the
Greenbush rail restoration project. Tom will he
involved in overall affairs and Mark will concen-
trate on engineering issues. You may contact
them via email or phone or at their office in
Town Hall. (Since they are out of Town Hall
often for meeting-:, is advisable to call ahead.)
They say they each look forward to serving all of
the Cohasset residents and helping with their
questions and concerns. This column will be run
periodically to inform Cohasset residents about
the Greenbush project and its schedules.
As you may have read recently, the legal
appeals regarding the Greenbush environmental
wetland permit application have been withdrawn.
This has freed the MBTA to proceed with project
construction in Cohasset. Preliminary informa-
tion from MBTA says that Cohasset can expect
that the tree flagging along the right-of-way will
begin about the end of February or early March.
The marking will be done before the trees and
brush are cleared along the right of way. When
construction does start, it will be about a two-
year process. We will report back to you with
more details after a construction meeting sched-
uled with the MBTA on Feb. 9.
The archeological dig in the Town Parking lot
was expected to be complete this week. As you
can see. the weather has thrown the MBTA a
curve ball and weather will be the dominant fac-
tor in determining when the site can be buttoned
up and the parking space restored for your use.
Since the MBTA is going to
parking lot, federal law requires
them document and preserve
any historic or archeological
resources below ground, even
oy me new construction.
Until then, the missing parking space is being
replaced with temporary space behind Olympic
Citgo and adjacent to the new James Way Shops.
This dig is an important part of the overall pro-
ject. Since the MBTA is going to completely
reconstruct the Town parking lot. federal law
requires them document and preserve any his-
toric or archeological resources below ground,
even though they will be covered over by the
new construction. Cohasset*s old 1800s round-
house site falls under this protection. The MBTA
has obtained the services of UMass Amherst and
others to expose and document the remnants of
this important part of Cohasset history.
After several meetings with local residents.
Police and Fire Departments, and DPW officials,
comments on the redesigned intersection of
Spring Street / Pond Street as well as the rail
crossing in that area were given to the MBTA on
the deadline date of Feb. I. Typically, official
responses from the MBTA could take anywhere
from one to three months. We do expect to have
informal dialog with the MBTA well within this
time frame.
Under the new configuration. Pond Street will
meet with Spring Street before the rail crossing
and proceed toward St. Anthony's. Spring Street
will go to the right of Sunset Rock, the very large
rock at the present intersection.
Essentially, the Pond Street / Spring Street
intersection will be separated from the rail cross-
ing which will be on Spring Street, toward St.
Anthony's. Spring Street will run to the right of
Sunset Rock, the large rock at the bottom of the
Pond St. hill, rather that to the left.
Brush clearing
The MBTA has notified Cohasset that they are
ready to begin marking the train right of way in
preparation for clearing trees and brush. The
procedure will be as follows:
The MBTA will mark trees along the right of
way with ribbons of plastic black and red striped
tape. The marked trees will be on either side of
the rail bed.
The trees marked with ribbon will not be
removed. They mark the outer perimeter of the
right of way. All trees inside of the marked trees
will be removed.
After trees are marked, in two to three weeks,
the space between the marked trees will be
cleared of all brush and trees.
If any landowners have any questions with the
trees that are marked on your property, please
contact either of us at the phone number or email
addresses below.

Setting the sewer record straight
COMMENTARY
R<)NNIh Mt'MoRRLN
Mr. Offerman and Ms. LoJacono of 1 1 1 Nichols
Road are simply wrong when they assert that the
Town of Cohasset has failed to fulfill its legal oblig-
ations under the Second Amended Final Judgment
(SAFJ). or that we are a community of willful pol-
luters who uncaringly allow waste to enter our
waters. In fact, the Town of Cohasset takes its
responsibilities and commitments very seriously,
particularly to the environment. We have spent more
than S20 million to date to ensure that our legal
obligations under the Judgment are met. Every tax-
payer in Cohasset has contributed to fulfilling this
commitment, which has included the sewering of
North Cohasset and the expansion of the central
sewer plant and district. We pride ourselves on being
a community in the forefront of environmental pro-
tection. Our wetlands regulations and our water pro-
tection rules are significantly more stringent than the
Commonwealth's.
In addition, the Town and the Board of Selectmen
have consistently supported the sewering of the
Little Harbor area as the next priority. The taxpayers
have funded the required studies and designs of that
system. Since the late 90s I have been convinced
that sewering this area is the most cost effective and
environmentally sound solution to fixing inadequate
septic systems. My view has never changed. The
Town continues to make progress on this project, yet
the Nichols Road couple insist that Cohasset has not
complied with the SAFJ (La Jocono, 1/28/05
Those seeking amnesty from
the requirements of Title 5 in
order to sell their houses have
different concerns from those
who will stay in Cohasset, and
pay for and use those sewers.
Mariner); and that DEP should levy fines against
Cohasset (Offerman, 2/14/05 Mariner) to force that
compliance.
There are clearly competing interests as to how
and when the Town proceeds with the sewering of
Little Harbor. Those seeking amnesty from the
requirements of Title 5 in order to sell their houses
have different concerns from those who will stay in
Cohasset, and pay for and use those sewers. Town
officials who are responsible for long-range legal
and financial planning must examine the town's
overall debt structure and bond rating. It is ulti-
mately the obligation of these officials, who are the
legitimate representatives of all residents, to balance
these competing concerns. Securing benefits for one
area can and will be accomplished, but research and
negotiation are an integral part of protecting the best
interests of the entire town.
Cook Estate
Similarly, Karen Quigley is wrong (Mariner.
2/4/05) when she suggests that the Town's senior
housing project on the Cook estate poses any threat
to the Little Harbor sewer project; or any sewer pro-
ject for that matter. The developer of the Cook pro-
ject. Northland, was chosen by a diverse group of
Cohasset residents. They have consistently request-
ed the ability to tap into Hull's excess capacity. That
request has never threatened a drop of capacity ear-
marked for existing homes in Cohasset. Town offi-
cials should be working with the Northland group to
secure that capacity and I will happily participate in
those negotiations.
We are proud that we came together as a commu-
nity to build and refurbish schools, libraries, fields
and other public buildings. That is Cohasset at its
best! We can be equally proud to join together to
produce affordable housing for Cohasset seniors on
the Cook property. The need for such a project
grows each year, as longtime residents struggle to
live in this community. The Cook project is still our
"Golden Opportunity" to provide housing options
for generations of Cohasset seniors, secure a sub-
stantial profit from the sale of the town's land, and
guarantee close to $500,000 in added yearly revenue
to pay for education and other town services. In
addition. Cohasset can add 37 units of affordable
housing to its required production under chapter
40B. making a significant step toward regaining
control of the town's growth. The project is a win
for everyone, and town officials should respect the
work of numerous senior housing committee mem-
bers, elder board members and most importantly the
vote of the Town Meeting, and make it happen! The
older generation deserves that effort and that
respect.

What's in a
Response to Little Harbor questions
COMMENTARY
Jack Buckley
Mr. Jenkins raised a host of important questions
about Little Harbor (Cohasset Mariner, Feb. 4).
Given the town's general need to minimize spend-
ing. I submit that many of his questions can be
addressed "in-house" at a fraction of the cost of out-
sourcing it all.
Six out of the 10 questions raised by Mr. Jenkins
can be answered by properly trained high school
and college age students. These questions are data
driven concerns with clear objectives and precise
deliverables.
For example. Mr. Jenkins asks about the fecal col-
iform levels in Straits Pond. Assuming base-line
data exists from the time period before the area was
sewered, a sampling program can be implemented
and a comparison can be made; thus, his question
can be answered within Cohassel's existing educa-
tional structures, resources, and community support
network. Likewise, data questions about septic sys-
tem records can be answered by students properly
trained to examine records and maps on file.
Further training might have students conduct field
observations to ground truth paper and electronic
information. Finally, properly trained students
might even begin the politically unpleasant work of
tracing pollution concerns to their sources.
Though I speak only as an individual resident and
not a representative of any group or institution in
our community. I do enjoy a perspective as a partic-
ipant in a growing collaborative effort to train and
challenge students to address questions such as
those raised by Mr. Jenkins.
Students bring incredible
enthusiasm, interest, and skill to
the table when asked to help
soke real problems in the real
world.
The Center for Student Coastal Research, the
Cohasset Board of Health. Cohasset High School,
the Gulf Association. Cohasset Education
Foundation, the Town of Scituate and supporting
state agencies such as Coastal Zone Management
are currently developing a scope of services and
deliverables to answer comparable questions in the
North Scituate area of the Gulf River. This work is
grant funded, and is administered by CZM; but it
will be executed primarily by Cohasset High School
students and Cohasset High School graduates. In
fact, our grant proposal (which we're told received
the highest score) was based almost entirely upon
student data and student analysis.
The goal of the grant-funded project is to advance
the collaborative capacities of students, municipal
officials, and other concerned institutions (state
agencies, watershed associations, etc.) to identify,
quantify, and remediate non point source pollution
in the upper Gulf River emanating from North
Scituate storm water outfalls, suspected illicit dis-
charges, and suspected leaking septic systems.
The scope of services and deliverables expected
of us in this project are comparable to the scope of
services suggested by the questions raised.
• Analyze land use data
• Ground truth existing maps of catch basins and
outfalls
• Provide towns with GIS up-dated maps
• Review records and map systems; establish
electronic database
• Identify possible failing systems
• Identify possible illegal sewerage connections
• Continue water quality monitoring
• Research best management practices
• Engage in outreach and education
• Submit final project report
As staled above, this work will be completed by
high school and college students, under the direc-
tion of high school teachers who will enjoy invalu-
able support "behind the scenes" from professional
engineers, environmental scientists, citizen-
activists, and state officials of various academic
backgrounds.
It is very much a team project with students play-
ing the critical role of researcher, analyst, and author
of scientific reports.
Can it be done'.' Can we deliver'.' As one of the
project leaders. I find it quite daunting, but doable.
Students bring incredible enthusiasm, interest and
skill to the table when asked to help solve real prob-
lems in the real world. But this intersection of edu-
cation and solving community issues requires a sus-
tained, year- round effort supported by an educa-
tional program that doesn't yet exist. Should the
community seek to establish a more elaborate struc-
ture, I believe we are well positioned to create a
dynamic educational program for that pays divi-
dends to the community.

It is. like so many decisions made in the aca-
demic world today, a marketing ploy same as
naming the science lab after the football stji
and the math chair after the millionaire real
estate magnate who llunked out alter his fresh
man year.
The academy was named for
William Dummer, an
otherwise undistinguished
governor of Massachusetts
from 1723-28...
Although their school's name didn't seem to
bother Governor Dummer- 391 Students and
only one of eight applicants were admitted, the
trustees felt being identified as a "Dummer sin
dent" did nothing to enhance enrollment
"First impressions make a difference." SJud
Headmaster John M. DoggCtt. "Outside of the
Boston region, the first impression sometimes
doesn't convey what the school is all about "
Besides, it's not really a name change, it's i
"name refinement"
The academy was named lor William
Dummer. an otherwise undistinguished govct
nor of Massachusetts from 1 723-2S. who died
in 1761 and left his estate in By field for the
establishment of a school.
To my knowledge no one ever called him a
"Dummer governor." although I can't speak
for some of his successors.
Governor Bill will still be considered the
founder of the school, even if his name is spo-
ken in hushed whispers on Founder's Das d
older alumni will probably he able to hnn^
their diplomas in to insert a nanve more appro-
priate to an academy graduate.
Name changing among schools is nothing
new. although it's mostly done on the college-
level and for different reasons
Trinity College in North Carolina becantc
Duke University after the tobacco-growing
Duke family dumped bill of large denomina
tions on the struggling campus, uxi much for
just the naming rights to a mere building
A few years ago. the trustees of Beavei
College in Glenside, Penn.. were considering a
name change but I never learned how it turned
out. I never knew why they wanted to change
the name either and I'm not going to speculate,
not in a family newspaper, anyway.
Some high schools on the South Shore have
undergone name changes, although I'm not
sure if the names actually were changed or jusi
allowed to drift away.

"To rat Editor:
yz In reading the last few edi-
tions of The Mariner. 1 was
struck by the low-level of the
discourse and tone of many of
' the letters to the editor.
'J. It is no secret that there are a
multitude of issues and chal-
lenges facing Cohasset today.
' ' The proposed solutions to these
' problems are varied and. in
' some cases, controversial.
' However, the interjection of
personal attack* and character
misrepresentations about any
! of our elected officials or other
volunteers has no place in this
' town government, nor will
these personal slights help
move us forward as a commu-
nity to address these matters.
This is a wonderful town and
a special place to live and raise
a family. For this we should
thank the many hard-working
members of this community
-who have answered the call of
public service and made the
needed sacrifices in their own
lives, so that all of us may ben-
efit. While we should encour-
age civic debate, and certainly
no official should be beyond
appropriate public scrutiny, we
need to keep in mind thai all of
our selectmen, school commit-
tee members, commissioners
and town volunteers are also
our neighbors and in many
cases, our friends.
In particular, it is very dis-
turbing to read the weekly
wave after wave of personal
attacks on Selectmen
McMorris. Sullivan and
Spofford. These are three indi-
viduals who have dedicated a
substantial amount of their
time and energies to Cohasset.
The ihree of them have put in
thousands of hours in volunteer
work: hours that could have
been spent with their families,
their businesses or in some
other pursuit. All of us are the
beneficiaries of this work, and
whether or not you agree with
iheir policies or decisions, you
have to respect the fact that
they stand by their principals
J^and are willing to take the heat
for what they believe is right.
I, for one, thank them for
their forward-thinking and rea-
soned-minded positions, as
well as for their continued
commitment to this communi-

Advocacy is OK but
not divisive discourse
To the Editor:
I am writing because of the
level of discourse in this town
that has been displayed in pub-
lic meetings and in many
columns and letters in the
"Cohasset Mariner." We have
witnessed elected and appoint-
ed officials and employees of
this town be vilified and
maligned because they are try-
ing to do their jobs. Regardless
of what side of an issue you
find yourself, any reasonable
person would agree that the
name calling, spurious accusa-
tions and character assassina-
tion that we have seen is dis-
graceful, unnecessary, divisive
and counter-productive. The
lack of respect and absence of
civil behavior that some indi-
viduals seem to think is appro-
priate in dealing with Cohasset
town officials and employees
has no place in our town.
Of course, advocacy is
important. Proponents of any
issue have the right and the
obligation to make their case
and encourage support.
Conflicting interests may be
revealed and resolved. There is
no reason to demonize individ-
uals or a group in order for
another special interest group
to succeed.
Sewering the Little Harbor
area is a good idea. It is also
vital that we continue to protect
our water supply and deliver-
ing sewer to the Beechwood
area should continue to be a
priority. The Department of
Environmental Protection
identified the Lily Pond area,
including the Aaron River
Reservoir, as one of the priori-
ty areas to be included in the
Wastewater Management Plan.
There should also be support
and assistance for residents
with failing septic systems.
Finally, we have an obligation
to many citizens in this town lo
complete the Cook project,
which may be the only devel-
opment offering affordable and
reasonably priced homes in
Cohasset. It is certainly the
only development in Cohasset
that has been created, designed
and approved with the advice
and assistance of the residents
of this town. There is no reason
why the good people represent-
ed by each of these groups
should be in conflict with each
other. This is not a sum-zero
game.
Little Harbor is on-line and
seems to be only subject to
financial constraints. The
Beechwood area is finally
receiving attention. There will
also be a warrant article
brought forward at Town
Meeting to attempt to assist
residents with septic systems.
Finally. It is my understanding
that Hull has the capacity for
the Cook Estate. Let's look into
it. The purpose of moving the
Cook Estate forward is not to
benefit a private developer, as
has been alleged, it is to pro-
ceed with our commitment to
the people of this town.
We have to ask the right ques-
tions, Mr. Jenkins' letter of last
week is an excellent example
of where we might begin. It is
up to us to get the right infor-

mation and attempt to make

in a civil, mutually respectful
way. about these very impor-
tant issues confronting our
Town.
The Advisory Committee will
be conducting pre-Town
Meeting hearings during
February and March and invit-
ing the proponents and all
interested parties. The hearings
will be advertised and every-
one is invited to attend. I
encourage every citizen to

Questions about
full-day kindergarten
To the Editor:
The following letter was sent
to Dr. Denise Walsh.
Superintendent of Schools,
with a copy to the Mariner.
We are writing to express our
concerns over the proposal to
add a tuition-based full-day
kindergarten program to the
Cohasset Public Schools. As
parents of an incoming kinder-
gartner. we are troubled by the
lack of information thus far
made available to parents who
are being asked to register their
children for the fall of 2005
starting on Feb. 7, 2005. We
are being asked to indicate a
preference for full-day or half-
day program without any infor-
mation to support the decision.
In order to make an informed
decision, parents require infor-
mation regarding the curricu-
lum to be implemented in both
the half-day and full-day pro-
grams including the differences
between the programs. We
need to know how about the
benefits of full-day kinder-
garten. We need to understand
how this is different from the
existing KEDS program. We
need to understand exactly
what our children would be
getting for the tuition.
In addition, we would like to
understand how the district
plans to deal with the differ-
ences in the academic pre-
paredness of the following
year's first grade class if the
full-day kindergarten program
is not fully implemented or
available to all kindergarten
students. As we understand the
current proposal, only 60 stu-
dents will be eligible to attend
a tuition-based full-day kinder-
garten program. If a parent can-
not afford or does not believe
their child is ready for a full-
day Kindergarten program, or
if the demand exceeds the
available space, what differ-
ences will there be in the acad-
emic preparedness of those stu-
dents for first grade'.' How will
those students be distributed
among the first grade class? If
the demand does in fact exceed
the space available, what is the
district prepared to do? How
will those spaces be "award-
ed?"
We understand, that the Town
of Cohasset and the School
District are undergoing a diffi-
cult fiscal period and in such a
time it would be irresponsible
to ignore the cost of imple-
menting such a program.
However, we are deeply trou-
bled that "profitability" and
"revenue enhancement" have
been offered as partial justifi-
cations for the proposal. We
understand that revenue gener-
ated by the program will not be
maintained in the program but
will be used to fund other pro-
grams as well.
If full-day kindergarten is
truly in the best interests of our
children, then it is in their best
interests regardless of whether
it is "profitable" or "self-sus-
taining," and it is in the best
interests of all children regard-
less of whether their parents
pay for the privilege. If it is
truly in their best interests it
should be offered and available
to all students and implement-
ed among all students. We
believe it is a dangerous propo-
sition to offer such fundamen-
tal services only to certain stu-
dents - those willing lo pay for
them - and lo deny those
opportunities to others, thereby
compelling them to start their
academic careers off in an
inconsistent and inequitable
manner. We believe thai the
questions and issues outlined in
this letter and the concerns of
all parents need to be fully
addressed before this program
as proposed is implemented.
We are advocating additional
time to discuss and review this
program and to allow time to
develop a sensible and fair pro-
gram for all the students of
Cohasset. We do not believe
there is sufficient time lo do
this in an inclusive manner for
the 2005-2006 academic year.

A happy ending
TO THE EDITOR:
With so much criticism and
contention about the people
who serve our town, both as
professionals and volunteers,
here's a Happy Ending story
complete with Heroes.
A week ago Monday, my yel-
low lab fell through Ihe ice in
Little Harbor and was in the
water for well over an hour.
Thanks lo the cool heads and
skill of the Cohasset Fire
Department, and particularly
ihe willingness of one man to
go out on the ice. she was res-
cued.
She was barely alive and hav-
ing violent seizures by the time
I got her to the Hingham
Animal Hospital. Dr. Waters
and his skilled, compassionate
staff, working on her for over
two hours, pulled a miracle and
saved her.
I can never adequately
express my gratitude to the
competent professionals who
came to my aide. Thanks to the
Cohasset Fire Department, Dr.
Waters and his staff, I have a
dog I treasure back in my
home.

Cook Estate
and Hull Sewer
TO THE editor:
This past week I informed
myself about the capacity of
ihe Hull Sewer Plant because I
want ihe Cook Property Plan lo
go forward and I do not want it
to effect the capacity for exist-
ing homes.
May I suggest that Cohassei
take advantage of the
1.000.000 gallons per day
available capacity of the Hull
Plant.
The Hull Sewer plant is
already ireaiing ihe
Massachusetts Stale Highways
contaminated ground water
under ihe land fill. It is doing
so by having ii pumped ou( and
trucked to be treated in Hull.
Pretty cosily for the
Commonwealth of
Massachusetts. If the
Commonwealth tied up lo the
Hull system via 3A (a state
highway) then Ihe Cook prop-
erty and Avalon could tie in on
3A.
I have worked on Ihe Senior
Housing Commiilee with Joe
Buckley. Jim Lagroiieria. and
Joe Nedrow and many others
over 10 years. It has been a
long haul and the Cook propos-
al is such a wonderful opportu-
nity. The "BEST'. The town
would receive $750,000 from
Northland, bring an income of
(430,000 per year to the town
and yel not add lo ihe School
population. The Developer was
chosen with great care with
Guidelines from the town and
in a competitive process. I( is a
beautiful project with 58
homes and 37 rentals. The 25
percent affordable of these will
be mixed in with the market
rate (a top of $600,000). The
location has envisioned paths
to the Stop and Slop on one
side and to the library on the
other.
Avalon would also be able lo
hook up if Ihe Commonwealth
went forward and as I under-
stand ii ihe 2 bedroom apart-
ments would bring an increase
lo the school population which
has already been estimated but
I am not sure of ihe amount.
Frankly I firmly believe it is
time for Cohasset lo welcome
affordable housing. It is our
obligation if we want to remain
a diverse community.

HEADQUARTERS
To the EDrroR.
While watching recent school
committee meetings, I realized
thai as a business person, I infer
completely different meanings
from terminology used by the
educators.
Enrichment, when my children
were in the Cohasset schools,
was an activity during school
hours thai offered an opportunity
above and beyond the normal
classroom work lo enhance their
understanding and scope of
knowledge. To educators today
in Cohasset, il is a fee for service
after school babysitting program
Self-supporting or self-suffi-
cient programs in the real world
are those that are able to exist
from the revenue produced. Such
programs besides being able to
provide salaries for staff should
also be able lo meet all employee
expenses such as health insur-
ance, pensions, worker compen-
sation and liability insurance fees
and unemployment costs. The
fees should also cover plant
expenses such as rent or mort-
gages ($50+ million for Cohasset
schools), heat. lights, phones,
equipment, supplies, cleaning,
maintenance, building insurance
and any licenses.
Making a profit in a business
sense means that your revenue
stream meets all of the above
expenses plus taxes and lhal the
income produces a surplus that
can be used to expand your busi-
ness, repair, replace or update
worn or broken equipment, etc.
In Ihe world of education Ihe
terms self supporting for the
Keds program and making a
profit in ihe lunch program seem
to be somewhat interchangeable
and mean thai they are able to
pay salaries and hopefully cover
ihe costs of supplies and if they
are lucky maybe health benefits.
Typically employee benefits are
not in their realm because in their
minds all the employees are
'town employees' and as such
employee expenses are someone
else's responsibility.
As to the school facilities, the
educators are quick to develop
fees for the use of the facilities by
outside groups but cannot com-
prehend that all the costs they
incur in using the facilities for
non-education fee for service
programs need to be met.
Whenever these plant expenses
are passed along to the taxpayer
that means there is less money
available for the children's edu-
cation.
The school officials don't seem
lo realize the actual costs of their
fee programs and what to charge
users to meet these expenses. All
costs must be covered and if the
users don't pay. then the taxpay-
ers must assume Ihe liability.
Thus funds that could be used for
education are not available.
In September we are to embark
on two new tuition programs that
we have been told could make us

This can result in high blood
pressure. Weightlifters frequent-
ly have to fight against high
blood pressure; a common prob-
lem. Further, exposure to cold
can cause constriction of the
arteries in some people which is
an additional burden on the car-
diovascular system. And high
blood pressure is one of the
major risk factors for heart
Warning signs
Some heart attacks are sudden
and intense, where no one doubts
what's happening. But most heart
attacks start slowly, with mild
pain or discomfort. Often people
affected aren't sure what's wrong
and wait too long before getting
help. Signs that can mean a heart
attack is imminent are:
• Chest discomfort.: Most
heart attacks involve discomfort
in the center of the chest that

lasts more than a few minutes, or
that goes away and comes back.
It can fee! like uncomfortable
pressure, squeezing, fullness or
pain.
• Discomfort in other areas of
the upper body: Symptoms can
include pain or discomfort in
one or both arms but particular-
ly the left arm. the back. neck,
jaw or stomach.
• Shortness of breath: May
occur with or without chest div
comfort.
• Other signs: These may
include breaking out in a cold
sweat, nausea or lightheaded-
ness .
If you or someone you're with
has chest discomfort especially
with one or more of the other
signs, don't wait longer than a
few minutes (no more than 5)
before calling for help. Call 9- 1 -
I . Get to a hospital right away.
Calling 9-1-1 is almost always
the fastest way to get lifesaving
treaunent. Emergency medical
services staff can begin treat-
ment when they arrive — up to
an hour sooner than if someone
gets to the hospital by car. The
staff are also trained to revive
someone whose heart has
stopped. Also, patients with
chest pain who arrive by ambu-
lance usually receive faster treat-
ment at the hospital.
Cardiac arrest strikes immedi-
ately and without warning. Here
are the signs:
• Sudden loss of responsive-
ness. No response to gentle
shaking.
• No normal breathing. The
victim dties not take a normal
breath when you check for sev-
eral seconds.
• No signs of circulation. No
movement or coughing.
If cardiac arrest occurs, call 9-
I - 1 and begin CPR immediately.
If an automated external defib-
rillator (AED) is available and
someone trained to use it is near-
by, involve them.

a profit - the extended K and pre-
K. The quoted rate to be charged
is $1500/student. When a school
committee member was queried
regarding the costs it was slated
that it is in line with other pro-
grams, i.e. other public schools
like Milton. But we receive a
much have a lower rale on school
reimbursement. 60 percent to
their 90 percent and gel less on
our stale Cherry Sheel than
Milton.
Private facilities like the
Community Center would
charge approx. $3000 for a simi-
lar program. The discrepancy
was explained away because 'we
don't have to pay rent". Bui we
all have to pay the money we
spent to build and renovate the
schools.
Currently there is a S50K new
grant but I have not had anyone
return my call to discuss if it is a
one-time occurrence, renewable
yearly or dependent on stale
funding and liable to disappear
With their dismal history of man-
aging paying programs how can
we believe that ihe schools will
even meet their costs let alone
make a profit
We must gel our priorities
straight The children's education
must come first With the
increasing costs of education, vse
can no longer use our lax dollars
to subsidize fee programs that
suck funds from needed budgets.
The years of unaddresscd deficits
from the lunch program alone
would have easily paid for sever-
al teachers.

CHS girls hope to qualify for state tourney with win
tonight over Hull Pirates
By Evan Deutsch
CORRESPONDENT
With an 9-7 record under Iheir
bell, il appears ihe Lady
Hoopslers remain within strik-
ing distance of landing a tourna-
ment spot.
Don't bet the house on this
outcome quite yet.
Yes. under the watchful eye of
Coach Levangie. the squad has
matured on several fronts. A
sturdy defense.' Check.
Individual Blent? Check. Take a
peek at Co-captain Casey
Anderson's monstrous scoring
slats.
How about a strong work
ethic? Just glance into a Skipper
practice and you'll find the
players working harder than
Santa's elves on Christmas Eve.
So what's holding the girls
back from leading the league? It
simply boils down to an inabili-
ty to consistently put the ball in
the hoop.
Now let's gel things straight.
Shooting doesn't appear to be
an issue for the whole squad.
Casey Anderson consistently
averages 20-plus points per
game. Co-captain Nicole
Whitney. Mia Lieb-Lappen.
Lacey Richardson, and Chelsea
Grossman all display exception-
al promise. The problem lies in
their need to flow well offen-
sively as a team.
Hull at Cohasset
6:30 p.m. tonight
Senior Night
Before we get too whiny
about their play, let's discuss a
very dominant Skipper perfor-
mance last week against
Nantucket. Coach Levangie
declared this outing the girls'
"best game of the year." Casey
dropped 14 points on the
Whalers, closely followed by
Chelsea Grossman with 12.
Lacey Richardson, Nicole
Whitney, and Katie James har-
pooned the Whaler offense
through their exceptional man-
to-man defense. At the final
buzzer the red numbers illumi-
nated 'Cohasset 44. Nantucket
19."
Then came the rough seas two
days later. Buoyed by their com-
manding victory over
Nantucket, the Lady Skippers
thought they could capitalize on
the momentum when the) trav-
eled to Carver. Instead, the
Crusaders penetrated the
Skipper armor leading to a no-
nonsense 51-37 Carver victory.
Two factors drove Ihe Carver
dominance throughout the
game: outside shooting and
speed. The Crusaders trumped
the outstanding performance of
Casey Anderson (29 points) and
the reliable Cohasset defense.
Levangie found the lack oi

By Mark Goodman
MGOODMAN9CNC.COM
All season long, the Norwell-
Cohasset gymnastics team's goal
has been to top the 130-poim
mark in their team score.
Consider it done, done and
done.
The girls hit the mark last
Friday against Marshfield
(130.25). Monday against Notre
Dame (130.2). and Tuesday
against Bridgewater-Raynham
(season-high 130.7).
Combine those three with a
129-point performance against
Carver last Thursday, and the
team came out with four wins lo
finish the regular season with an
11-2 record.
More importantly, however,
those four scores will be the
deciding factor in whether or not
the team qualifies for the South
sectional. Head coach ■ Kara
Connerty says she and her team
will find out this Tuesday
whether or not they have made it.
Sectional qualification is based
on the average of a team's top
four learn scores. Connerty said
the team qualified last year with
a similar average to what they
have this season.

Time to shine
Wrestlers looking for big wins at this weekend's sectionals
By Mark Goodman
MGO0DMAN@CNC.COM
Several Cohassel grapplers
will embark on a journey today
that they hope will end with at
least a state championship.
Two of the three Skippers
who earned those honors last
year - Joe Kehoe and Matt
Baroudi - are back lo defend their
lilies.
Kehoe has been virtually
unbeatable this season, losing
only one match all year. The
senior has bounced back and
forth between the 152- and 160-
pound weight classes this season
and is almost a sure bet to be in
the mix for a title this year.
Baroudi has battled through a
couple injuries and has wrestled
well in the matches he has partic-
ipated in. In Cohasset's lasi tune-
up last weekend - a quad versus
strong programs in North
Atlleboro. Leominster and
Franklin - the senior went 3-0 in
the I 89-pound division.
Other likely contenders lor
stale titles include:
Jon Littauer (119), who was
22-2 heading into last week's
action. The senior has usually
been dominanl in his matches,
consistently getting pins over his
opponents.
Kevin Dinsmore. vviih 20
wins against just two losses
[OWBtd the end of the season. A
gifted athlete who has split time
between 130 and 135.
Dinsmore's season was high-
lighted by a win at the North
Ouincy tournament last month.
Div. 3 South
sectionals
today, tomorrow
Holliston
Both Dinsmore and Littauer
picked up two wins at last
weekend's quad.
Matt Casev. a senior with
the same record as Dinsmore
Casey has shown his stamina at
the year's big tournaments,
winning Marshfield and domi-
nating North Quincy before
forfeiting the final two matches
due to injury.
Shane Dorian, a junior who
has won over XI) percent of his
matches in Ihe 140-pound divi-
sion. Dorian. Dave McKcnna
(145) and Nick Cambi i2I4i
round out Cohassel'* top
wrestlers.
The recent blizzard meant
the Skippers did not get all the
preparation tor the sectionals
and stales thev had been Doping
for The snow wiped out a bic
quad match wilh Marshfield.
Middlehoro and Rockland Th.it
would have given the team lui
ther preparation for the postsea-
son with some tough matches
Kehoe likely would have
wrestled Middleboro's Nick
Kelly, and Dorian would have
faced Rockland's Jackie
Erickson. Both Cohasset
wrestlers lost tough matches to
those opponents earlier in the
year.
The grapplers also recently
defeated Holbrook. 36-6

The coach was quite pleased
with her team following the win
over B-R.
"The girls looked great, and
they are competing at the level
that I think was expected of
them." Connerty said.
Norwell senior Samanlha
Rosen scored a 33.1 in the all-
around Tuesday night, highlight-
ed by first-place finishes in the
floor (8.8) and vault (8.8).
Norwell junior C.J. Himberg

Cohasset boys basketball saved
their best for last and picked up
their third win of the season.
Haling Cape Cod Academy,
a team they had beaten down
ihe Cape earlier in the year, the
Skippers played a strong 32
minutes Wednesday night and

what it takes to play winning
basketball.
"Our team has been play ing
well of late, and they re gelling
together as a croup." he said
"They 're playing much harder

Brady led Ihe team in this
game with 15 points.
Sophomore forward Jon
McCarthy added 10.
The final score of ihc
Skippers" 60-38 loss to
Harwich on Tuesday does not
tell the whole story of ihc
game. C'ohassel hung lough
with a good learn thai it led
by senior two-guard Ryan
Snares, one of ihe best play-
ers in ihe South Shore
League.
Cohassei was within 12
wilh three minutes to go. but
a couple Soares threes put ihe
game QUI of reach. Other than
that stretch, the Skippers had
been playing strong defen-
sively.
Three players led the learn
in the scoring column with
eighl points apiece.
Alexander. Pal McCarthy and
junior forward Chris Bryan
all contributed in the losing
cause.
Alexander has been playing
some nice games of late, and
could be solidifying himself
as Ihe team's big man of Ihe
future. Bryant, a former start-
ing center for Cohassei In the
mid-90's. helps lead funda-
mental drills in practice for
his learn s Iromcourt players
(the guards also gel their own
specialized attention).
A big. strong 6-f00t-3 ath-
lete who is also an offensive
lineman on the football team.
Alexander has been learning
to use his si/e more effective-
ly, according to his coach.
"For the last three games,
he's really been doing the
stuff that we're trying to
teach him." Bryant said.
"Justin has been stepping up
extremely well for us. He's
starling to understand how to
make moves around the hoop.
Instead of just throwing il up
there, he's making strong
moves to the basket."
Bryant also said freshman
center Jake Cuneo is another
big guy who has been making
good strides as of late. In the
backcourt. the coach says Jon
McCarthy and sophomore
Nick Zappalo have both been
improving and playing well
as of late.
They're all starting to pick
il up a little bit." Bryant said.
"You always like to see the
team pick it up toward the
end of the season."
The boys have a tough task
today when they travel to
Hull. Tomorrow, the Skippers
will travel to Nantucket, and
then host the Whalers on
Monday. The season ends
Tuesday with a home game
against Norwell.

scoring, except for Anderson, a
persistent problem.
"It's pretty much the same
story," he said. "They play
brick-wall defense, but just
can't gel their shots to fall."
Co-captain Nicole Whitney
looked at the game in a slightly
different manner.
"We never gave up." she said.
"They were very good shoot-
ers, and we were just off in our
game."
Freshmen Meg Anderson pro-
vided further positive news by
managing to make some nice
contributions at Ihe point guard
position. Things look pretty
optimistic when you realize
Meg has three more seasons to
go.
Going forward in the sched-
ule. Coach Levangie says he
wants to "focus on one game ai
a lime." Sounds like a plan
right out of the Belichick play-

Fven at 4-X. the Cohassei hockey
team's gi>al remains the same: make
the tournament.
Il w ill take six w ins in their last eighl
games to do so. no easy leal.
The Skippers have two' games
remaining with Carver (the first last
night, the second this Wednesday at
Pilgrim). Both are games Cohassei
should win.
Nothing will come easy after that
Tonight, the Skippers host Mushpee at
6:50. Il won't take much time for the
rematch, as Cohassei will venture
down k) Falmouth to lake on Ihe
Falcons on Tuesday at 7:30.
Another rematch takes place a week
from tonight, when Cohassei will tray -
el to lake on Wareham al the Tabor
Academy rink in Marion. The
Skippers won their season opener
against Wareham in a tight, well-
played 5-3 contest, and Wareham w ill
surely be looking to repay the favor on
their home ice.
Even if Cohassei wins ail live of
those games - a tall task, indeed - it
would still have to win one more to
qualify against a very good learn. That
win would have to come in one of the
following three games: Tomorrow in
Orleans againsi league- leading
Harwich/ Ptwiocctowri iS p.m. face-
Off); Feb. I1* against WeStWOOd in
CinKin (6:30); and Reb, 21 against
Norwell ai Pilgrim (4:10).
Belore last night's game against
Carver, the Skippers had split their last
two gflnm Tnev defeated Hull on
Saturday. 5-2, and lost Monday to
Blue Hills. 4-0.
Senior eaplain Ted Straughn
notched a hat trick against the Pirates,
scoring two in the first period and tal-
lying an empiy-nener in the closing
seconds. The First-line center has been
Cohasset's leader and mosl consistent
player this season.
Conor Holway and Mark Donovan
Sooted Ihe Other goals against Hull.
C'ohassel head coach Ben Virga
praised Holway. a sophomore
del'enseman. who he says could he a
potential captain in the future.
"Conor has been learning a lot from
our seniors this year: he has great
potential as a person, not just a play-
er." ihe coach said.
Donovan was part of a line against
Blue Hills - joining Corbin Faber and
Kurt Grit/an - that Virga said did a
good job of fore-checking and back-
checking, and noi allowing any goals
while they were on Ihe ice.
On Monday. Feb. 28, 2005.

Not a Super Afternoon for all
of Boys Travel Hoop
li was an afternoon oi mixed
results as the hnss middle
school travel teams journeyed
to neighboring Hull lor some
pre-Stiper Howl hoop action.

day Robert Jones In up the

The game was last paced and

tutions kept fresh legs on the
court torl ohasscl Hull quick'
I) called a timeout and
regrouped, scoring three unan-
swered baskets.
Derek Youngman frcquentlx
j found himself in the right
: place al right time with his
defensive steals and his ability
to conv ert these steals to points
for Cohasset. Whether he WAS
going the distance himself, oi
feeding a streaking Jones loi
the fast break. Youngman's
focus and determination
proved to be unstoppable.

An caiK runted ankle kept
piny mat Kevin O'Connell
sidelined for much ol the
game.
Solid passing in the first half,
and Cohasset s ability to find
the open man kepi the game
exciting. Maher found Will
Wise for two and then
Brendan Doonan for two.
jell Charles kepi up ihe
defensive pressure and with
nothing hut wind al his tail,
and convened a sleal lor a

Ihe halftime break was a not
a benefit to Cohasset as the
boys came out in Ihe second
half cold and had difficult)
finding the net; Hull took
advantage Of ihe cold hands of
Cohasset and not only lied ihe
game but took the lead for the
first nine.
Cohasset's strength of pass-
ing and shooting in the first
half was absent in the second
hall Despite playing with
nothing but heart, the) ended
up on ihe short end of the
game. Davis was ihe high scor-
er wiih eight points followed
by Maher with seven and
Mct'unney with six.
In what can only be
described as a David vs.
Goliath match up. the eighth
graders were outsized by Hull.
Not to be intimidated,
Cohasset got on the board first
with an Kvan Richardson to
John Sturino bucket Nick
Savage, playing bigger than he
truly is. ripped a massive
rebound and fed Richardson
for an easy lay up.
Would this game end up with
the good guys winning like the
fairy tale? Hull quickly
regrouped and began a run anil
gun offensive strategy, scoring
frequently Cohasset valiantly
tried to keep step for step with
their longer legged opponents,
hul snuggled.
Danny Brady kept strong
pressure on Hull, slealing the
ball and keeping them from
scoring. On Hull"s IKXl pos-
session it was replay lime, with
Brady stealing the ball and
going ihe distance for iwo.
Dan Martin, facing bigger
opponents, used precision lim-
ing in blocking shots and grab-
bing rebounds. Positioning in
the paint allowed Cohasset lo
try to compete for rebounds
Cohasset's advantage in this
match up was their quickness,
as Marcus Charles siole the
ball on the press and found
Martin in the paint.
Owen l.andiin was tireless
using strong defensive pres-
sure. Nick Simonds and Mike
Kithian traded big man
responsibilities with Martin.
Savage and Adam Berger
Hull came out in the second
hall stronger and faster than in
the first half. They built an
insurmountable lead. In whal
could be perceived as an act of
un-neighborly conduct, the
Hull coach kept his starting
rotation in until the nine-
minute mark despite the likeli-
hood that our boys in blue
wouldn't be able lo catch up.
Not willing to go quietly, the
Cohassel squad kept up the
pressure. Brady for Ryan Daly
for a bucket. Landon drove the
lane for two. and Lenny Brown
found Brady for two. In the
end. however. David did nol
heal Goliath.

scoreless first period. The Stars

by a strong Duxbury defense
and good goaltending.

chance of the second period tak-
ing a puck from his own blue
line and beating the Duxbury
defense tow ards the goal only to
be stopped by an outstanding
save from Duxbury's goalie.

once again stellar in goal for the
Stars made a super save on a
Duxbury Breakaway. However.

the rebound. The Stars red line-
had several scoring chances in
their last shift of the game with
both Antico and Ryan just miss-
ing goals.
After pulling the goalie in the
final shift, the Stars "Fire" line
consisting of Kyle Bowman,
(.miliar McKenzie, Jo Jo
Carbone. Mats NeLson, Derek

little short.

and went left. In desperation.

In Saturday's tough loss to
I boson the Blue & White showed
thai they can play against any team
in the league. Colusset's 21-111
defeat in the teams' first meeting
earlier this sew si is ihe i inly game
thus lai this year in which the
CohBSSet girls were newer really ill
it. However, on Hanson's home
000 Saturday night the Blue <V
While almost turned ihe tables.
The Sixers played a tight. 2-3 am
defense which limned Hanson b
just two Held goals as Cohassct
took a 9-S lead at the half.

However, with tlx- Cohassct girls
still struggling with beating a full-
ooun press, the Blue & White
managed just one field goal by
HaggerT) the rest of ihe way.
Han v in. on the i Uher hand, was the
beneficiary of two obvious non-
calls by the rets for traveling which
would have negated live Hansen
points.
However, the key factor in the
game was that Cohasset hit on just
I -of- 1 4 free Ihmw attempts, com-
pared to their opponents' 4-for-N
shutting from the charity stripe. If
Cohasset had hit a few more of
their I ( I free thmws in Ihe first half,
the Blue & White girls might have
been able to open up a bigger lead
by the intermission with a different
final oulcome. Still, despite the
defeat the play of the Sixers was
highly -encouraging - and the
coaching staff pnimises a lot of
free thniw practice in the weeks
ahead
Think the Superbowl was
exciting? You should have seen
the action at the former
Weymouth Naval Air Station last
Saturday when the Cohasset 5,n
Grade Boy's Basketball learn
battled Hull through 4(1 minutes
of regular game time and 3 over-
times before finally winning 21-
19
With just 1 1 seconds left in the
last OT. Robbie Mahoney made
a look-away out of bounds pass
under the hcxip to Jamie Faber
who sw ished the 3 footer to seal
the win.
This low scoring game saw the
lead change four or five times in
the OT periods. Every basket
and every rebound was met with
thunderous cheers from the
Cohasset and Hull fans. Big
buckets were made in the game
by Pal McCormack, Willy
Brown, Jamie Timothy, John
Collins, and Chris Murphy
Pat Kearney made a clutch
free throw on the Ironi end of a
one - and - one to send the game
into the second OT. Jay Salerno
and Nate Brown dominated the
hoards wilh 7 rebounds each,
denying Hull of any second
chances on a missed shot.
The w in more than likely qual-
ified the boys for the upcoming
playoffs, a great accomplishment
for their first year of travel ball
And while they'll play hundreds
of games in the years to comnl
is a sale bet thai they will neVer
forget this one!

the process
The Rev . Beth Wheat Icy -
Dyson. Assistant Rector of St.
Stephen's, hopes the quilt-mak-
ing process will bring the com-
munity together in a new w ay .
"It is my hope thai this quilt
project will enable people ol ull
ages and faith experiences to
learn from one another." she
says. "It is through our shared
dialogue and work that connec-
tions are made and our individual
faith journey s deepened."
The St. Stephen's Community
Faith Quill is one ot'5<) faith
quilts being created throughout
greater Boston, as part of a larger
three-year interfaith dialogue
effort, the Faith Quilts Project.
Noted Boston artist and quilt-
maker Clara Wainwright.
founder of Boston's First Night
celebration, was inspired to
launch the Faith Quilts Project
by the events of 9- 1 1 . particular-
ly after seeing a PBS documen-
tary one year later tilled "Faith
and Doubt at Ground Zero."
"After September 1 1 . 1 became
fascinated by the power of faith
for both good and evil."
Wainwright says. "I decided to
explore different faiths through
the medium of quilts, which
seems a positive gesture in such
a polarized world."
Collaborative Faith Quilts are
currently underway in communi-
ties in and around Boston, repre-
senting many faith traditions,
including Muslim. Jewish.
Buddhist. Hindu. Mormon.
Native American. Baha'i.
Wiccan and several Christian
denominations. The 50 complet-
ed quilts, including the St.
Stephen's community quilt, will
be exhibited in April 2(X)f> in a
month-long, city-wide celebra-
tion of "Faith, the Arts and
Community." accompanied by
faith-inspired music, film, poetry
and dance.
The grand opening exhibit will
be held at the Boston Center for
the Arts Cyclorama in Boston's
South End. followed by exhibi-
tions in oilier public venues,
including the Boston Public-
Library. Boston City Hall, and
the Cambridge Multicultural
Arts Center.
Those interested in participat-
ing in the St. Stephen's

ed to drop in Si. Stephen s. Id

On the South Shore
inehy does
justice to Trumf
Brfan Oenrwhy at DoKon Trumbo
Hollywood screenwriter's story
takes the stage in Boston
Hie role of legendary screenwriter Dalton Trumbo ("Exodus,"
"Spariacus." "Roman Holiday" and "Papillon") — in Trumbo:
, White and Blacklisted," now at Boston s Virginia Wimberly
aire— may not be the best-known part Brian Dennehy has
r played, but the actor still has great belief in the power of the
"I've done a lot of plays, and many of them have been great.
The writing in this, however, is as good as anything I have ever
done," explained Dennehy at a recent press conference at Boston's
Calderwood Pavilion. "It requires an actor to be as dramatic, as
runny and as bitter as any play I've ever done."
Thaf s high praise from a performer who has won Tony Awards
for his portrayals of two of the most fabled male characters in the
American theater canon — Willy Loman in Arthur Miller's
"Death of a Salesman," and James Tyrone in "Long Day 's Journey
Into Night," by Eugene O'Neill.
Christopher Trumbo — by coincidence a Dennehy classmate at
Columbia University — used his late father's correspondence to
write 'Trumbo," which tells the story of the writet who — in 1947
at the peak of his career — refused to testify before the House Un-
American Activities Committee, investigating allegations of ram-
pant communism in the film industry, and was imprisoned Tor a
year as one of the "Hollywood Ten." Trumbo's letters, most of
which were written from jail, tell the story of his family's survival
and his own quest to break the blacklist.
"Dalton Trumbo was a huge American figure. He could not have
happened anywhere else in the world," says Dennehy. "He was an
extraordinary man. someone with real passion and humor. He
wrote all the time, and not just screenplays and novels, but letters
to his wife, his son and even the telephone company. He was not
only incredibly honest, but he also had a huge, deserved ego."
As an actor. Dennehy understands that screenwriters aren't well-
known to most moviegoers. "I hope this piece can be a real learn-
ing experience for people who know little about Dalton Trumbo
or the era in which he lived. It was a time in our history that was
interesting, perverse and fascinating.
This piece (a hit off-Broadway with everyone from Nathan
Lane. Alec Baldwin. Tim Robbins. and Richard Dreyfuss to
Dennehy taking turns in the lead) has so much passion, humor,
philosophy and family interaction that it works magnificently as a
powerful human drama"
Tlie Huntington Theatre Company will present Brian Dennehy
in Trumbo: Red, White and Blacklisted" at the Virginia Wimltrix

COMING DP SHORT?
A recent study suggests that if
you are short, you may be predis-
posed to hearing problems.
According to Swedish
researchers, the potential for
adult hearing problems may
develop during the prenatal peri-
od, and this potential appears to
be particularly prevalent among
shortcr-than-average adults
These findings are based on the
theory that events before birth,
such as malnutrition or exposure
to alcohol nicotine, may cause
disease in adulthood. Studies
among randomly selected men
have shown that short men were
twice as likely to have hearing
loss. The research also showed
that shortness was associated
with a family history of hcanng
loss. While studies such as this
are in their preliminary stages,
they might provide one more rea-
son lo get your hearing checked

Hut spring training is not just
about training: Fort Myers offers
a lot more than Major League
Baseball facilities. Indeed, there-
are plenty of things to do away
from City of Palms Park, which
the Sox have called home since
IW. And we contacted several
folks w ith some serious Red Sox
connections who made their pref-
erences known. First off. Theo
Epstein wants it known that he's
down there to work, and that
means long days at the team's
facilities, followed by more
work, with maybe a late bite at
the place he and several col-
leagues lease. "I'll play my guitar
and then hit the sack." the dutiful
GM said.
But Epstein admits to having a
weakness for exceedingly under-
cooked fish, and when he and his
cadre break out. they head to Blu
Sushi. 13451 McGregor Blvd.
"It's one of the best places down-
town, where they've really been
dev eloping what looks like older
buildings (a la Quinev Market)."
Epstein said. "And Bin has a
good bar. too." The place is
renowned for its martinis, and
offers both indoor and outdoor
seating. Farther along at 3583
McGregor Blvd.. for those who
prefer their food cooked at above
mom temperature, there's Brix/
Grill & Bistro. Yeah. Sashimi's
on the menu, but so is pan-seared
crab cake and Asian chicken
skewers. Brix/ also boasts a
delectable filet mignon. Also on
McGregor Boulevard (at No.
1 1 48 1): Boslonians yearning for
home cooking can check out
Clancey's. a bar/restaurant thai
features both pub food and more
ambitious fare.
Red Sox radio announcer Joe
Castiglione. who has lived on (he
Massachusetts South Shore for
years, recently purchased an off-
season residence in the Fort
Myers area because he and his
family have come to enjoy the
region. And a big part of the
attraction is the array of recre-
ational amenities to be found.
"My wife and I like to ride bikes
and use our kayaks." Castiglione
said. 'There are all kinds of
places lo do that down there "
The Sanihel/Captiva mini-archi-
pelago that juts into the Gulf just
off Fort Myers boasts some of the
best kayaking in North America.
Sanibel is home to the world-
renowned J.N. "Ding" Darling
National Wildlife Refuge, where
paddlers can explore protected
cays and coves, and even follow
a meandering saltwater river.
Hundreds of species of birds
winter here — and yes. there are
alligators to be observed (from a

safe distance). "And the shell
beaches on Sanibel are just
incredible." Castiglione said.
That view was shared by learn
part-owner Les Otten. who was
participating in a Red Sox fantasy
baseball camp lasi week with
The Swamps." which Otten
described as "about 20 old guys

plenty of visitors busy, including
Sox players. "Some of the guy
will go out on a charter for marl:
and snook, and fish for bass on

the fishing down here's pretty
good." Check out Magic Hook
Charters (www.magichook.com)
or Hawkeye Charters (www.fish-
withhawkeye.com) to get a taste
of what local waters have to offer.
They also offer fly-fishing trips
for light-tackle enthusiasts. Last
but hardly least, the Sox trainer
added. 'There are endless golf
courses around here." Bui you
knew that, didn't you'.'
Still, it might be best to remem-
ber Les Otten's mantra when he
heads to spring (raining: "A bad
day of baseball is better than any
day of work." For more informa-

Unsung hero honored as top citizen
Coe is a member of
'Greatest Generation
By Mary Ford
MFOR09CNC.COM
Tom Healy of Cushing Road
knows the kind of man Joe Coe is.
When Healy 's late wife was ill,
Coe would stop by on Thursdays
with a meal for Tom and
Josephine, courtesy of the Senior
Center.
Coe's kindness and friendship,
which the two men developed
years ago when their sons became
childhood pals, propelled Healy to
nominate Coe for Citi/en of the
Year, this year and in prior years.
"He's the mosi gentle guy in the
world." Healy says.
Healy isn't alone in his assess-
ment and although — with a total
of 16 nominations from 21 differ-
enl people — reaching a decision
wasn't attained without consider-
able discussion, this year's selec-
tion committee unanimously
decided lo recogni/e Coe as the
Citi/en of the Year.
Although most of Coe's sen ice
is quiet and behind the scenes - he-
is best known to the wider com-
munity for his service as the
beloved 'Town Crier" each
December during the annual
Village Fair on the Town
Common.
In a tri-cornered hal and armed
with a bell, ihe self-professed
"people person" meets, greets and
directs hundreds of v isitors to the
various activities hosted by local
churches at one of Cohasset \ cen-
terpiece events every year.
"I like people." says Coe. who
was surprised and delighted with
the news he was being honored as
the town's top citi/en. "I was very
surprised and very pleased."
Today it's hard to imagine thai

When he met his wife Jan
Pierce in 1940, knowing she
was someone he couldn't and
wouldn't lei go. he immediately
began to woo her. sending her
one do/en roses the very next
day. The two were married in
April, 1941. and their connec-

Johnson shipped out on a mis-
sion with the Navy reserves
which would separate him too
soon from the love of his life.
As was the calling of many
Cohasset residents during World
War II, Johnson enlisted in the
service. Perhaps as a reaction to
the events of the day. Johnson
signed up to serve on Dec-. 7.

gy methods, and will report back

its findings in 2006.
To date, residents Andrew
Willard of Stockbridge Street and

he believes it is "a wonderful idea
for Cohasset to begin the process
of exploring new ways lo provide
power to the town and lessen our
footprint on this earth." He said he
has had a strong interest in renew-
able energy for many years and has
supported paying a higher rate on
his electric bills to support the pur-
chase of energy generated by
renewable methods.
Professionally. Willard has been
in manufacturing sales for the past
nine years and has worked with
firms that are building and invent-
ing new energy generation and
storage devices. He has worked
wnh firms in both the fuel cell and
solar energy industry along with
firms specializing in energy stor-
age with a primary focus on trans-
portation.
Lauretti told selectmen in his let-
ter of intent for the position that he
has background experience in pro-
ject financing and operations of
large natural gas fired cogenera-
lion facilities. He also has experi-
ence in banking and private equity

Train assistants provide update
on Greenbush project in town
Beechwood Street
crossing problematic
By Samantha Brown
SAMBR0WNOCNC.COM
In the month since Tom
.Jjruber and Mark Brennan
■**ere appoinled as Special
"Assistants to the Town
Manager for the Greenbush
rail restoration project, much
-has been accomplished as the
' _ two have hit the ground run-
" ' ning, prioritizing and tackling
- each project head on.
Gruber said right away, the
| two found there was an imme-
' . diate need to get down to busi-
,j 'ness. He said there were many
, ( drawing packages the town
, .was missing, and still others
, . the town had not yet respond-
ed to. including plans for the
intersection of Spring and
Pond streets, which had been
collecting dust at Town Hall.
"We only had until Jan 31 to
.. . make comments." he said. The
.men were appointed Jan. 1 1.
, . Gruber and Brennan immc-
. diately scheduled a neighbor-
■i hood meeting, which needed
1 to be rescheduled due to the
• . blizzard, In the end. Gruber
said roughly eight abutters,
members of the police and fire
• ' departments including the
" 1 safety officer, attended the
meeting. "We got a good
' tiumber of comments." he
; ' Said, which have been submit-
• ted to the MBTA.
' Brennan and Gruber have
also had a pre-construction
'„ meeting with the MBTA and
Conservation issues during
. .construction were discussed
, .is .Mop priority. Brennan said
, the Department of
„!> Environmental Protection was
there, which served as a good
advocate for the town.
...-The MBTA has already
|^l>egun marking trees for brush
I'ilearing in the right of way.
|»j3ruber said it is important to
note the trees which arc
parked are the ones that arc-
being saved, and all trees
between two marked trees are
Ihe ones which will he
removed. Any tree with a red
and black striped ribbon will
be left alone, he said.
Brennan said MBTA offi-
cials said at the meeting that
clearing would be complete by
March. However, the point
was raised that various migra-
tory animals would be in tran-
sit until possibly May. and
clearing cannot be done dur-
ing migratory periods, which
will delay the plans. Digging
lor the tracks would follow,
and then station work would
begin. It is estimated the sites
will be ready for wetland
restoration by the spring of
2(K)6. but the same problem
with migratory animals would
be encountered, which would
push the project back an addi-
tional few months. At that
point, the MBTA can begin
laying the tracks.
Another area of concern is
the crossing at Beechwood
Street. Gruber said the con-
figuration of the driveway
located at 39 Beechwood St.. a
Victorian home which has
been converted into condo-
miniums, coupled with the
grade crossing, has made for
an unsafe situation.
Currently, \iewing the prop-
erty from the street, the drive-
way for the condominiums
runs from the back of the
house and along the right side
of the property, virtually
straight down toward the
street. The rail bed runs
almost parallel with the drive-
way, which needs to be relo-
cated as it is loo close to Ihe
crossing.
Plans have changed from
implementing four-quad gates
lo standard crossings at
Beechwood Street because the
fire department has been told
it will help with delays as the
gate* will be dow n for a short-
er amount of lime. Because
only two gales will be imple-
mented, median barriers will
be installed on either side of
the crossing as a safety mea-
sure, which is required by ihe
MBTA for whistle-free train
corridors. Median barriers are
a little higher than a standard
curb and are roughly four
feet wide.
Gruber said at this point.
"The T is ready to throw up its
hands." because the
Beechwood crossing has been
an issue for so long.
However, he said he believes
it is a serious safety issue and
cannot be forgotten. He said
Ihe way Ihe driveway has been
laid out. it is imperative for
Ihe ladder truck to arrive on
the scene first because it may
not be able to fit up the drive-
way if the two pumper trucks
make it there first. A situation
like thai is not a solution in his
eyes.
The way the plans
are currently
drawn suggests
that a driver
would need to
make a perfect
turn when coming
down Beechwood
aireei rrom ooum
Main Street to
make a right into
the driveway.
In addition, the way the
plans are currently drawn sug-
gests that a driver would need
lo make a perfect turn when
coming down Beechwood
Street from South Main Street
to make a right into the drive-
way. "I've never seen a driver
that did it to the inch." Gruber
said. He said he and Brennan
are going to mark the pro-
posed driveway in chalk in an
empty parking lot. possibly at
one of the schools during
vacation week, and use the
ladder truck — the depart-
ment's largest vehicle — to
test what the turning radius
really is and what would he

The town parking lot is the

come across." said Gruber.
adding the mitigation agree-
ment calls for 182 parking
spaces and plans currently
show 149. Gruber said pan of
the problem was the fact the
MBTA designed the lot using
its own parking measure-
ments. 8-1/2 feel by 1 7 feet,
when the town requires 9-1/2
feet by 20 feet per zoning reg-
ulations. Making that change
alone brought the number
down to roughly 160 spaces.
Other changes to the lot fur-
ther reduced parking spaces,
and that is an issue Brennan
and Gruber hope to have an
answer to by the end of the
month. "Right now we're
looking at every piece of
unbuilt properly down there,"
which could potentially be
purchased to make way for
more parking. Gruber and
Brennan will also be doing
their best to see how many
spots the town is actually
working with now. as it is hard
to tell in light of the construc-
tion which is taking place in
the lot.
In addition, certain spots
could be considered as 15
minute or employee only
parking to help keep the
spaces open which are closest
to the shops for those doing
quick errands, but that would
be a change the Town
Manager would have to decide
to make.

Village project
nearing deadline
By
SAMBROWNOCNC COM
After years of discussion and
many drafts, plans for the
Downtown Revitali/alion pro-
ject are still not set in done
Without a firm direction, the
project cannot move forward,
and with a deadline of Mav 30 to
use funding from grants, an
extension will be required.
Selectman Ralph Dnrmit/.er
attended a meeting last week of
the Downtown Village
Revitali/alion Review
Committee, and said there is still
much work to be done before the
project can move ahead With
the upcoming MBTA Greeobush
line construction planned by the
municipal parking lot. the town
needs to have firm plans in place
for the improvements it will
make on its own in the adjacent
area.
"We're going lo end up with
fewer spaces if we don't do
something." Dormit/er said.
The review committee has
been charged wiih looking over
and "tweaking" plans for the
downtown area, submitted by
the Waterfield Design Group,
consulting engineers based out
of Winchester. The Waterfield
engineers were hired bv Former
Town Manager Mark Haddad in
the spring of 2002. The goal of
the project is lo update the streets
and sidewalks of ihe downtown
area, making the Village more
aesthetically pleasing
Improvements are slated to lake
place from Soulh Main Sheet bv
ihe Red Lion Inn down to the
intersection of Depot Court, and
around the comer, lo the inter-
section al Ripley Road and
Pleasant Street.
Dormit/er said further meet-
ings of the committee are sched-
uled for the coming weeks and
members will be reporting hack
lo the Board of Selectmen with
suggestions. However, because
out of the 15 companies that
requested information on the
peojeet, QUI} one hid was sub-
mitted, il suggests there is some-
thing unattractive about the pro-
ject as a whole, and Dormit/er
said the town must take another
l<K)k al Ihe plans and potentially
make some changes in its
approach.
At previous meetings pf the
Board of Selectmen. Dunniua
has suggested splitting the pro-
ject into pans and pulling il out
to hid again If the town choos-
es lo go thai route, il could
potentially find experts willing
lo work solelv on their area of
expertise, and the project could
come together one piece al a
time. Areas companies tend lo
speciah/e in ate paving, side-
walks, excavation and utilities,
and curbing, he said
Dormil/cr said Ol the M .5 mil-
lion the town Original bj had to
make the improvement*.
SI. 353. 357 remains, which will
have |o include pmv im .lis to pay
for construction adRrinisffaoon
and oversight. He said a gaud
portion of the money viliiih has
been spent to date was paid oul
to the Waterfield Design Group
for redesign work Dormn/ci
said in his view, the lunJ-
remaining are not ndfqimB DO
carry out the rest of the project,
"unless we can bid out more
effectively."
The new streeiscape is pari ol
ihe SI. 8 million Village
Revitali/alion Project which is
being paid lor by grants and pri-
vate donations The project has
been in the works for upwards i il
seven yean and the discussions

going on for 2-1/2 years. The

received lo help pay lor the pro-
ject will BXpirC Mav 30. unless
the town can secure an exten-
sion. Town Manager Bill Gnflin
said he w ill send a Idler request
ing an extension this week or
next.

Cohasset on waiting list '_
for full-day kindergarten grant
FROM KINDERGARTEN, PAGE 1
money to help cover full-day
kindergarten start up costs has
not been available. As a result,
towns like Cohasset which
would like to begin implement-
ing full-day programs but have
limited funding with which to
work in order to begin the pro-
gram on its own. have been put
on a wait list until more funding
becomes available. In addition
to Cohasset. the towns of
Duxbury, Randolph.
Shrewsbury. Walpole, and
Westwood are also on the list.
"If and when there are addi-
tional kindergarten grant
monies. we"re in line, and other
communities are there with us."
said Supt. of Schools Denise
Walsh. The school department
has been faced with some bud-
getary trouble as many line
items from FY05 were either
underbudgeted or not budgeted
at all. At the recommendation
of Osgood Principal Janet
"K and when there are additional
idergarten grant monies, we're in line, and
other communities are there with us."
— Supt. of Schools
Denise Walsh
Sheehan. Walsh has proposed
optional tuition based full-day
kindergarten as a way to help
generate revenue for the district
as well as provide Cohasset's
youngest students with more
opportunities in education.
The proposed FY06 budget
for the schools includes project-
ed tuition revenue from full -day
kindergarten enrollment, total-
ing $108,000, based on the
assumption 60 children will
attend at a tuition rate of $1 .800
each. It also includes projected
tuition from the start up of a
new school-run preschool, total-
ing $22,000. Currently, a
preschool is being run by the
South Shore Educational
Collaborative out of the Osgood
School. If the preschool pro-
gram is run by the school, it will
follow the same curriculum
frameworks as the higher grade
levels, which as a private
preschool the SSEC classes are
not required to do, and the
school district will receive
tuition payments.
The budget assumes grants for
both the preschool and full-day
kindergarten programs together
will total $50,000. It is estimat-
ed it will cost $15,000 to begin
the preschool program.
However, Sheehan has recom-
mended hiring an additional
Naval officer loved life
kindergarten teacher to bettei
accommodate the full-day
kindergarten program.
Although drafts of the FY06
budget currently include of/sen
from grants, the DOE progress
report also states during FY05
there were no funds available to
aid towns in beginning fuH-day
programs.
While funding poses a prob-
lem, the space to host the pro-
grams does not, which is not a
luxury all school districts have.
The Cohasset public schools
have come through a lengthy
construction and renovation
process which has yielded big-
ger buildings, meaning the
extra children which will be in
the building all day long can be
easily accommodated. ■

day kindergarten, please con-

FROM JOHNSON. PAGE 1
IHHOs.
On Sundays during the sum-
mer. Johnson's youngest sister
KnMiiond Cross remembers how
their father Howard Johnson,
affectionately known as "Mr. J"
would take Perry, along with his
sister Kathy and brother Howard,
to Sunday school at the Unitarian
Church. The elder Howard
would drop the children off. and
would then play a round of golf.
The three children would walk
home from the service together,
and the first one home would be
allowed to lick the ice cream
chum. Cross said without fail.
Perry was always ahead of the
rest.
After Johnson was married, he
and his wife would spend the
summers together in Cohasset.
Jan said she remembers spend-
ing summer days by the "cock-
tail bar." a special flat area in the
granite side of Sandy Cove.
Johnson's lather would set out
two long planks and roast 20 to
30 lobsters at a time, but dinner
came at a price. He wouldn't
dish them out until one could
The three children would walk home from the
service together, and the first one home
would be allowed to lick the let i
prove they were able to split
their own lobster. Jan said she
can still split a lobster.
Johnson's cousin Charlie
Higginson. although much
younger, remembers fondly
looking up to his older relative.
Higginson said he remembers
the older cousins playing noisy
games of Softball on Quarry
Point. Higginson said he also
remembers the large fishing par-
ties from the dock on the elder
Howard's motor boat, "The
Loon." Those looking for a big
catch would use long bamboo
poles with green fiddler crabs
for bait. Higginson said
although he was too young to
go, he remembers catching the
green fiddler crabs for those
venturing out onto the high seas.
When Johnson shipped out, he
was stationed on the USS
DeHaven I (DD-469). a destroy-
er escort built at the Bath. Maine
shipyard that was attached to the
Pacific Fleet in the Solomon
Islands. The ship was operating
near Salvo on Feb. 25, 1943
when her air support missed her
and she was attacked by
Japanese kamikazes. Johnson,
as second in command, was at
that time a deck officer.
Rushing to the aid of a comrade,
he had just carried a wounded
sailor into the ward room for
medical attention when the
destroyer was hit.
The ship did not sink immedi-
ately, but in the end roughly 38
were wounded and 167 men
were lost. Among those who
did not return home was
Johnson, whose body was never
recovered. Johnson was only 27
years old.
Johnson is remembered by
many for his service to the coun-
try. His name is on a plaque,
located at the Memorial Chape'
at Harvard College. which, was
dedicated to the members of the
Harvard University Class of
1938 who gave their lives for
their country. Fellow Cohasset
resident Howard Gleason is also
memorialized in the chapel.
In addition, Cohasset residents
are reminded of Johnson's sacri-
fice every day as they pass by
the memorial square dedicated
in his memory at the intersection
of Atlantic Avenue and Beach
Street, just down the road from
his grandfather's house, where
he spent so many memorable
summers.
Chairman of the Veterans
Memorial Committee Glenn
Pratt provided the Mariner with
the information for this article.

School
outlined
to reduce ¥Y06 budget
By Samantha G
SAMBROWNeO NC.COM
' The school department budget
is on the chopping block for a sec-
ond year in a row — with officials
' looking at potential cuts in the
- dvent an override fails at the annu-
■al'Town Meeting.
■ ""School officials are facing
-roughly $700,000 gap between
what they say they need and what
the town has said it can afford to
give. The gap in costs is due
"largely in part to the increase in
special education out-of-district
■ tuitioas. Although the town has
agreed to give the school depart-
ment a 2 percent increase over last
■year's budget, school leaders are
'contending with about a $500,000
increase in special education
tuitions alone, which must be
funded Proposed cuts to the bud-
get have been considered for the
''3.6 percent operational budget
increase, excluding the 4.3 per-
cent increase for special education
' '-tuitions.
Although nothing has been set in
stone. Supt. of Schtxils Denise
Walsh made some suggestions to
the School Committee at its Feb.
10 meeting. The Schtxil
Committee was slated to meet with
the Advisory Committee and
Board of Selectmen Wednesday.
Feb. 16. to further discuss the cuts,
but the meeting was cancelled.
'Walsh has met with each of the
'building principals and said cuts
'have been considered in tiers,
eventually arriving at a budget fig-
ure which amounts to the 2 percent
' increase the town is proposing
excluding special education costs.
, 'However, Walsh said the trou-
ble with making cuts to a needs-
based budget is, "they're all
needs."
Walsh has suggested cutting the
' $50,000 maintenance budget by
$40,000. She said although she
fjhderstands the importance of
' 'rtiaintaining the buildings, it is her
1 understanding the town has
$120,000 budgeted for building
' maintenance and perhaps that is a
cost that shouldn't be included in
the school budget She said there
are certain compulsory measures
the schools need to take by law.
' but transferring some of the costs
to the town side should be dis-
1 'cussed.
But School Committee member
Adrienne MacCarthy said when
the schools were renovated, a
promise was made to the commu-
nity that they would never fall into
disrepair. "We made a huge
- promise and commitment to keep
them up." she said.
Walsh said Facilities Manager
Brian Adams will be speaking
with Town Manager Bill Griffin
on the matter.
A second measure being consid-
ered is to ask the Cohasset
Educational Foundation for
roughly $40,000 to help pay for
software and hardware for com-
puters. By receiving money from
that group, $40,000 could be
deducted from the supplies and
materials budget, currently listed
at $493,961.
promise and
commitment to
keep them up."
— Adrienne MacCarthy. on
proposed maintenance cuts
The local sports booster clubs
may also be asked to help support
the high school teams if $30.(KX)
is cut from the athletic budget. In
the past, Walsh said boosters have
been asked to subsidize aspects of
the sports program, and that may
happen again.
With a decrease in the mainte-
nance budget, requests to the CEF
and cuts to the athletic budget, the
first tier of cuts would yield an
additional $110,000 for the
schiK>ls to work with, bringing
down the requested operational
budget increase to 2.9 percent.
The next tier of cuts would
begin with a math teacher, which
the department had hoped to add
to the staff this year. With the
increase in enrollment at the high
school, an additional math teacher
would have provided more vari-
ety for students, including more
elective*.. Without the position,
the school budget will decrease by
S45.IXX). In addition, if the
teacher is not added to the stall",
the new textbooks for the classes
will not be required, yielding
another S6.(XK).
Walsh said originally she had
wanted to cut the position of mid-
dle school guidance counselor,
which has become a necessity
with the amount of children who
are currently in the district.
However, after speaking with the
school administrators, they asked
her to consider eliminating three
paraprofessional positions in
order to retain the guidance posi-
tion. The cuts for the three aides
would net $5 1 .000, for a total sec-
ond tier cost cut of $102,000.
reducing the school budget to a
$25 1 ,622 increase, or roughly 2. 1
percent.
With the two tiers of cuts, the
budget will match up roughly
with the amount the town is sug-
gesting for an increase. However,
if a way to pay for the out-of-dis-
trict special tuitions cannot be
found, such as if an override does
not pass. Walsh has prepared
additional suggestions with a third
tier.
The third round of cuts would
eliminate the middle school guid-
ance position, freeing up $45,000.
In addition, by eliminating one
teacher each from grades one,
two. and three, the schools would
have an additional $135,000 to
work with. Two of the three
teaching positions were funded
the year before with funds raised
by concerned members of the
community. One last measure of
cuts would be $20,000 to the sup-
plies and materials budget, bring-
ing bring the budget down to a
$51,622 total operational budget
increase, or roughly .04 percent.
It other cuts are required and the
schools are asked to absorb the
tuition costs. "It'll be staff cuts
and shut off the lights," said
Walsh, which really isn't an
option.
School Committee member
Rick Flynn said the issue of out-
of-district placements needs to be
solved, otherwise all the suggest-
ed cuts won't matter because lay-
off's will need to take place.
But even with the proposed
cuts, Walsh said there is a position
she will need an increase in fund-
ing for. and that is the Financial
Assistant. Karen Park has
resigned from her position and
Walsh said in her advertising for
the position, she had increased the
salary by $20,000. "Knowing
how hard it is to find a qualified
person." Walsh added she has
received five responses for the
position so far.
"We can't function without a
business manager." Walsh said,
adding with all the things an indi-
vidual is required to be responsi-
ble for. including procurement
laws and liability issues, there are
many aspects of the job a financial
assistant cannot do. In light of
that Walsh said she would like to
advertise the position at roughly
$80,000 per year, or at least the
high $70,000 range. There is
already S60.O00 allocated for the
position, but there will be some
shifting of funds necessary to
make up the difference.

J our dealings and we should all be
J working together for the good of

••'she said.
Also up for the one-year seat is
Pamela Wilson of North Main
Street. "I have twin 12-year-old
boys in the middle school. I have
the time and inclination to get
involved with the schools and
make a difference." said Wilson,
who pulled her papers a couple of
weeks ago. "I'm doing it
because I want to be involved."
The one-year seat will fill out
the remainder of Chartis
Tebbetts' term. Tebbetts recently
resigned from the School
Committee.
Alfred Slanetz of Nichols Road
took out papers Wednesday for
the three-year-seat on the School
Committee. Those who attend
School Committee meetings reg-
ularly or watch on television may
have seen him sitting in the front
row on a number of occasions.
Chris Allen of Pleasant Street,
who is coming to the end of a
one-year term on the Cohavset
Housing Authority, also pulled
papers for the three-year-seat on
the School Committee this week.
He has also pulled papers for a
seat on the Housing Authority.
According to the Town Clerk's
office, Allen is considering run-
ning for both, but it will require
Town Counsel's opinion to deter-
mine whether he can hold posi-
tions on both boards.
In other election news. Dan
Evans of Howard Gleason Road
has pulled papers for the position
of Town Moderator, and could
run against incumbent George
Marlette who has pulled papers
as well. Marlette has held the
position for the past 1 3 years and
has always run uncontested.
There could also be a four-way
race for two seats on die Board of
Selectmen.
Candidates must return their
signed nomination papers by 7
p.m. Tuesday.

"I wanted to be a paratrooper." Coe
quips. ' But when I went to sign up - I
was told I was too damn skinny and
that I'd go up instead of down."
A past Citizen of the Year and long-
! time volunteer at the Senior Center.
! Anna Abbmzze.se sums Coe up in a
! few words. "He's a jewel." she says.
She said Coe. who has served on the
; Council of Elder Aff airs board, has a
knack for making people feel comfort-
able.
"He's always there at the Senior
Center spreading his good humor,
which he has a lot of." Abbruz/ese
says. "I'm delighted he's been chosen
as Citizen of the Year.
; "When you think what he went
through in World War II and survived -
he's truly one of the Greatest
Generation and we arc lucky to have
him."
Coe is a familiar figure at the Senior
. Center, especially on Thursdays, when
j he volunteers to help serve lunch to his
peers. "I get a kick out of waiting on
table." he says.
Carol Barrett, outreach coordinator
for the Council on Elder Affairs which
runs the Senior Center programs, says
Coe is an invaluable volunteer who
makes the center a comfortable place
for the town's older citizens.
"His service helps make the Senior
Center a place where people come and
'meet friends," says Barrett. "John is
very friendly and outgoing, always
with a funny story to tell. Nothing
seems to bother him."
Coe lives on Pond Street with
Marcia. his wife of 47 years. They have
two children: a daughter. Mary
Connolly, and a son. Charles Coe. an
optometrist, who is a major in the U.S.
Army. The Coes have three grandchil-
dren.
The couple moved to Cohasset back
in 1969 to be closer to John's work that
was based in Braintree. Shortly there-
after. Coe went into business for him-
self as a manufacturer's representative
in the retail and commercial lighting
industry. Coe. who grew up in New
Jersey, loves his adopted hometown.
C oe said once he retired, he became
"Mr. Itch" and began helping out

Flurry of thanks for
blizzard help
By Samantha Brown
SAMBH0WNtfCNC.COM
Supt. of Schools Dense Walsh
would like u> extend her thanks to
the many people who helped out
during the "Blii/anJ of 2005"
Walsh said compared with the
Blizzard of "78, it was a much dif-
ferent situation, because with the
previous storm. "We knew we
were closed." However, with this
recent storm, which hit in two
separate phases. "It was a difficult
week because of the uncertainly,"
she said.
Walsh commended the
IX'panmenl of Public Works for
"working around the clock with
minimal staff," and said even
with some machinery breaking,
thes were outstanding. In addi-
tion, she praised new Facilities
Manager Brian Adams for his
dedication, as he was at the
school during the blizzard at 2:30
a.m. plowing the parking lots.
Using the utility vehicle which
was purchased with funds allo-
cated b\ voters at the Dec. 6
Special Town Meeting. Adams
kepi bus) clearing the lots as the
snow continued to fall.
However, with drills reaching
between 10 and 12 feet behind
the Osgood School, it did take
crews a little while to dig out.
which caused the delays in the
schools being reopened.
Walsh said currently, the
schools have used the maximum
number of snow days allowable.
To make those days up. it looks
right now as if the school year
could run until June 29.
However, she said it is still very
early in the winter to have used all
the snow days, and if the district
is required to take any more, the
calendar will need to be modified.
The School Committee voted to
make up some time lost during
the bli/yard during the Friday.
March IS professional develop-
ment day. Instead of all teachers
participating, one designated
teacher from each grade level w ill
participate and report back to the
other teachers. Substitutes will be
called in for those teachers who
attend, and the program will be
opened up to teachers from sur-
rounding districts. Because the
School had contracted with the
company prov iding the training,
it could not be cancelled.
In addition, the School
Committee voted to make the
Good Friday holiday a half da>.
Which will count toward the num-
ber of days school is in service,
bul will still provide students and
their families with an opportunity
to attend church services in the
afternoon.
Walsh said other communities
have considered taking time from
the February and April vacation
weeks to make up the snow days.
but Cohasset will not. She said
she well aware families make
plans long in advance, and she
does not wish to interfere with
those plans.
Walsh is a member of the
Lighthouse Association of
Superintendents, and she said
many superintendents in coastal
communities are considering
petitioning for a snow day waiv-
er. She said because a state of
emergency was declared during
the blizzard and state workers
were advised not to report to
work on Monday and Tuesday
(Jan. 24 and 25) it was obviously
not safe to open up the schools.
"It would be nice if they would
give us an extra day or two." she
said.
Walsh said she will be in con-
tact with superintendents in
neighboring communities to see
how they will be dealing with the
situation. She has drafted some
potential calendars for next year,
which include changes to ensure
even with some snow, students
are not in school until late June.
However, that would require stu-
dents reluming to school poten-
tially the first week in September,
prior to Labor Day. which with
the late dismissal this year would
make for a short summer vaca-
tion. The committee will discuss
next year's school calendar at

Cohasset
Changes in watershed won't
affect Little Harbor sewer i
By Samantha Brown
SAMBROWN0CNC.COM
The town will submit a schedule
for sewering homes in the Little
Harbor watershed to die
Department of Environmental
Protection for its review, which
will make some Cohasset residents
very happy. However, still others
might be uneasy at the prospect of
hearing the definition of the water-
shed has changed. That means
some connections may not be
mandatory from the state.
But town officials say the deci-
sion to sewer all of LitUe Harbor is
still on track, and even without a
mandate from the state. All the
homes which were told they would
receive a sewer connection, will
still be included in the project.
"I've certainly learned over the
last few weeks jusl how important
a project this is." said Town
Manager Bill Griffin, who assured
the Board of Selectmen Tuesday
he would work with the state to
ensure all homes within the Little
Harbor area of town receive die
same treatment. He said while for-
mally, the slate is only requiring
the (own to sewer wiihin the water-
shed, il does not take away the
town's promise to other residents
in the area.
The DEP asked the town lo
define the Linle Harbor watershed
because the Second Amended
Final Judgment only requires the
town sewer those homes. The
Judgment was handed down by die
state as a means of implementing
the Clean Waters Act. In 1979, a
complaint was filed alleging viola-
tion of the Act. and the town
reached an agreement with the
state to supply modem wastewater
treatment. As pan of die settle-
ment the town consented to enter
[he Judgment Since then, die town
has been working on a plan to
clean up the waters in the Little
Harbor area of town.
Residents in the Linle Harbor
area have been wailing for sewer
to be extended to their neighbor-
hoods for years, in the hopes of
evading mandatory inspections
and upgrades of on-site systems.
With a sel plan and sewer connec-
tions on the way, homeowners in
the area would be given amnesty
from upgrading sewer systems,
regardless of whether they intend
to sell.
The sewer project has become
die focus of many contentious
debates, especially since a citizens'
petition was floated for die Dec. 6
Special Town Meeting. Voters
ultimately approved the article,
and the town was directed to add a
sewering schedule into the
Judgment Residents felt by incor-
porating a schedule into the
Judgment, il would formalize the
town's commitment to die project.
In light of the Town Meeting
vote, several town officials held a
powwow with the DEP Jan. 21 to
talk about the town's plans to tack-
le its wastewater problems in the
Little Harbor area. Griffin said as
a result of lhat meeting, the (own
was asked lo answer two ques-
tions: what is die town's definition
of the Little Harbor watershed, and
what is the town's tentative sched-
ule for sewering the Linle Harbor
watershed.
In order to provide the state with
the correct information. Griffin
said he convened a meeting with
Town Counsel Paul DeRensis.
Sewer Commission Chairman Ray
Kasperowicz. Daniel Coughlin of
Tutela Engineering, the Sewer
Commission's engineering consul-
tants. Health Board Chairman
Steve Bobo, and Health Agent Dr.
Joseph Godzik.
Griffin said the Wastewater
Management Plan compiled by
Tutela was essential in helping
move the process along. He said
information in die report gave
details regarding which homes are
in the watershed and a final count
of 378 units that will be required to
hook up. Griffin said it is impor-
tant to note die number die town is
working with is units, not parcels.
He said because there are condo-
miniums in the watershed, count-
ing six units as one parcel to be
connected does not make sense.
However, Griffin reiterated he
fully recognizes the promise the
town has made to homeowners in
all of Little Harbor and said those
homes which are not in the water-

shed but have been part of the
plans lo install sewer will receive
connections. He said he will serve
as the negotiator on behalf of the
town and the agreement with the
state will be flexible enough that
the town include more than its
required connections to the projeel
Griffin said it is important for the
town to provide the DEP with the
information it is requesting as soon
as possible, as it is going to be
important to secure funds in a
timely fashion in order to begin the
permitting process and secure con-
struction plans for next spring.
"This does not rule out acting on
it in a few weeks," at Town
Meeting, he said, when an article
requesting funding for the sewer
project may be voted on. "The
town reserves die right to do more
and lo do it quicker." he said,
adding the town will make sure il
has the option completing the pro-
ject all at once or in phases.
Griffin has been authorized by
the Board of Selecunen to send a
letter to the DEP answering its
questions as well as maps of the
watershed and a proposed sched-
ule for sewering. The schedule is
the same schedule suggested by
Tutela in its wastewaler plan.
Griffin was authorized lo begin
negotiations with the slate after
motion was passed at die Feb. I
meeting of die board.
The motion stated. "The Town
Manager, with the assistance of
Town Counsel and the town's
engineers, in consultation with the
Board of Selecunen. die Board of
Health and the Sewer
Commission, be authorized to
explore with the Department of
Environmental Protection possible
language to amend the Second
Amended Final Judgment to
include both a schedule lor the
sewering of Linle Harbor and the
specifics of reciprocal benefits to
the town of Cohasset."
Griffin said in light of the
motion, his discussions with the
DEP are only that, and nothing has
been sel in stone. He and other
town officials will meel with the
DEP again Tuesday, Feb. 22.

South Shore Hospital on a Monday may have benefited
from John quiet congeniality over the years.
Whether you're visiting Cohasset for the first time and

"I was surprised and very pleased." he says.
A total of 21 different individuals look the lime to propose

tributions to help make this town we all love a belter place.
' The selection committee consisting ol Chartis Tebbetts.
How ie Altholtz, Merle Brown. Joe Nedrow and myself met
at the Cohasset Mariner office in Hingham Square on a
recent Sunday, afternoon to pore over the heartfelt letters of
nomination. The decision was unanimous, although not
reached wiihoul considerable discussion about all the very
deserv ing candidates.
Tom Heal) sa\s it best in his nomination. "John is a very
quiet and all-around great guy." he wrote.
And Tom knows that better than anyone. The two men are
now '"old" friends having gotten acquainted when their sons
became pals as youngsters. When Tom"s wife. Josephine,
became ill - John would stop by every week with a lunch
' from the Senior Center where he volunteers as a server on
Thursdays.
Anna Abbruzzese. a past Citizen of the Year and fellow
Senior Center volunteer, describes John in three simple
words. "He's a jewel," she says.
Anna also points out that John, a glider pilot in World War
II. is truly a member of the Greatest Generation. "We are
lucky to have him." she says.
So here at the Mariner we extend our warm congratula-
tions to John, who is still actively engaged in the communi-
ty he loves. We are also pleased for his family, his wife
Marcia. son Charles who is a major in the U.S. Army, and
• their daughter Mary and her husband Joe. John and Marcia
also have three grandchildren. Stephen. Kevin and Christine
Connolly.
With this award, the Cohasset Mariner offers recognition
for making a difference. In our society loo many role mod-
els go unrecognized. Too often people today look to the
sports, rock stars or movie stars with envy, when the real
hero is the local police officer, firefighter, parent, teacher,
church leader or government official. The annual Citizen of
the Year Award is our way of taking our hats off to those
among us who go that extra mile without asking for any-
" thing in return but the intrinsic rew ard of helping to make
Cohasset a better place.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Hire Chief Hussey
for permanent post
To the editor:
I've often thought that we as a Town have
a tendency to form committees and study to
the point of tedium some things that should
be a no-brainer.
The most recent example of this in my
opinion is the notion thai we should conduct
interviews for the position of Police Chief. In
the brief time that Chief Hussey has been on
the job. he has brought about many positive
changes in the Department. We no longer
have cruisers with dark timed glass. The
SWAT uniforms have disappeared. We have
had a town-wide survey in an attempt to
address the concerns of the community. The
Chief has been to many meetings to hear
first-hand what people in Cohasset want and
expect from their Police Department. The
Chief has even pulled over on his way in to
work to direct traffic!
No interview process can compare with
Chief Hussey's performance and impact on
the Police Department over the last few
months. Anyone who is happy with the
Chief's performance and the positive impact
he has had on the department has interviewed
Chief Hussey. Anyone who attended any of
the functions he has appeared at has inter-
viewed him. Chief Hussey seems to have the
right mix of humor, fairness, and commit-
ment the job requires. Let's skip the inter-
views and hire Jim Hussey as the full time
Police Chief.

HEALTH NOTES
Tips to help avoid the stomach flu
By Steve Bobo
SPECIAL TO THE MARINER
Going on a Cruise?
Each year millions of U.S. citizens enjoy
cruise vacations. In 2003, approximately 8.3
million passengers embarked from North
American ports for their cruise vacation
(from Cruise Lines International
Association). Traveling on cruise ships
exposes people to new environments and
high volumes of people, including other trav-
elers. Although an infrequent occurrence,
this exposure creates the risk for illness,
either from contaminated food, water or
more commonly through person to person
contact.
Wash your /lands'. The single most impor-
tant activity a cruise passenger can engage in
to prevent the spread of Norwalk-like virus,
also called viral gastroenteritis, is frequent
and proper hand washing. Before and after
eating, smoking, after touching your face,
going to the bathroom; any lime when your
hands are dirty. It's a good idea to wash your
hands upon returning to your cabin and fre-
quently throughout the day even if you think
they don't need to be washed. The proper
way to wash is: Wet hands with warm water.
Apply a generous amount of soap and lather
hands well. Rub hands together for 20 sec-
onds, paying special attention to the areas
between fingers and under nails. Rinse hands
thoroughly with warm water. Dry hands with
a disposable towel. Use the disposable towel
to turn off the faucet and open the door.
Other Precautions Leave the area if you
see someone get sick (vomiting or diarrhea).
Report to cruise staff, if not already notified.
You could become sick if you ingest conta-
minated particles that travel through the air.
Take care of yourself. Get plenty of rest.
drink lots of water. Resting helps rebuild
your immune system. Drinking water helps
prevents dehydration.
Be considerate of other people's health. If
you're ill before taking a cruise, call the
cruise line to determine if there are alterna-
tive cruising options.
What is Viral Gastroenteritis?
Gastroenteritis means inflammation of the
stomach and small and large intestines. Viral
gastroenteritis is a contagious infection
caused by a variety of viruses that results in
vomiting or diarrhea. It is often called the
"stomach flu," although it is not caused by
the influenza viruses. The main symptoms
are watery diarrhea and vomiting. The affect-
ed person may also have headache, fever,
and abdominal cramps ("stomach ache"). In
general, the symptoms begin I to 2 days fol-
lowing infection with a virus that causes gas-
troenteritis and may last for I to 10 days,
depending on which virus causes the illness.
For most people, viral gastroenteritis is not
a serious illness. People who get it almost
always recover completely without any
long-term problems. Gastroenteritis is a seri-
ous illness, however, for persons who are
unable to drink enough fluids to replace what
they lose through vomiting or diarrhea.
Infants, young children, and persons who are
unable to care for themselves, such as the
disabled or elderly, are at risk for dehydra-
tion from loss of fluids. Immune compro-
mised persons are at risk for dehydration
because they may get a more serious illness,
with greater vomiting or diarrhea. They may
need to be hospitalized for treatment to cor-
rect or prevent dehydration.
Viral gastroenteritis affects people in all
parts of the world. Each virus has its own
seasonal activity. For example, in the United
States, rotavirus and astrovirus infections
occur during the cooler months of the year
(October to April), whereas adenovirus
infections txcur throughout the year. Viral
gastroenteritis outbreaks can occur in institu-
tional settings, such as schools, child care
facilities, and nursing homes, and can occur
in other group settings, such as banquet halls,
cruise ships, dormitories, and campgrounds.
Treatment Treating viral gastroenteritis
includes rest and rehydration by drinking flu-
ids and to prevent severe loss of fluids (dehy-
dration). There is no vaccine or medicine
currently available that prevents viral gas-
troenteritis. A vaccine is being developed,
however, that protects against severe diar-
rhea from rotavirus infection in infants and
young children. Medications, including
antibiotics (which have no effect on viruses)
and other treatments, should be avoided
unless specifically recommended by a physi-
cian.
The CDC's Vessel Sanitation Program
(VSP) helps the cruise industry to control
and prevent the spread of gastrointestinal ill-
nesses aboard cruise ships and assists them
in monitoring ships if they have an outbreak.
VSP protects passenger and crew health
through sanitation inspections, disease sur-
veillance and investigations, onsite inspec-
tions of new ship construction and renova-
tion and reviewing construction plans for
new ships. VSP also trains crew in proper
public health techniques including food han-
dling and preparation, drinkable water sys-
tem management, and pool and spa opera-
tion and maintenance. VSP posts inspection
scores and outbreak information on the VSP

Citizen petition zoning article explained
COMMENTARY
Tom Callahan, Mark DeOiacomo & Rick Swanborc
As members of the citizens' group who has put
forward some zoning articles for the upcoming
Town Meeting, we'd like to give a brief explana-
tion of these articles.
All derive out of the letter and/or spirit of the
Master Plan. Together with other articles that
have come to Town Meeting before, the overall
goal of these articles is to provide the Town with
new tools to address new growth and develop-
ment challenges and meet the mandate that you
the people of the Town gave to those of us who
worked on the Master Plan - to preserve the
character of the Town.
Demolition Delay Bvlaw - The citizens' peti-
tion and that of the Historical Commission are
identical and will be combined. This returns after
being withdrawn during last spring's town meet-
ing after some debate. This year, it is proposed as
a zoning, rather than non-zoning, bylaw, to allow
the Bldg. Inspector to legally enforce it.
There are 6 categories of buildings that can be
subject to this bylaw. The first three are buildings
on a national, state or local (the "HT" buildings)
register of historic buildings. The next three
involve buildings that are over 100 years old (up
from 50 years from last year's version) and
which are found to by the Historical Commission
to have some historical or architectural signifi-
cance. Not all buildings over 100 years old are
thus affected.
This bylaw simply delays, but does not prohib-
it, the teardown of a historically significant
building. During the period of delay, its goal is
that some mutually advantageous solution that
preserves the building can be found. Over 200
municipalities in Massachusetts have some form
of this bylaw.
ting out a review process for homes that meet a
certain threshold in size and bulk was passed last
spring. It was intended to address the issue of
leardowns and mansionization, which you the
community identified as a big issue in the Master
Plan surveys, and have remarked upon at meet-
ings for projects such as 3 Jerusalem Ln., 150 N.
Main and Whitehead Rd. In a compromise with
opponents of this and many other innovative
solutions that the Master Plan proponents are try-
ing to bring forward, this bylaw was watered
down to where it has no teeth, and it is merely
providing notice to abutters and a discussion.
After a year in practice, we believe teeth are
needed. Thus, this amendment seeks to return to
the original draft and make this review a special
permit process, under which a proposed building
that even complies with conventional dimension-
al zoning would be reviewed as to whether it is
"substantially more detrimental to the neighbor-
hood". This standard is applied often throughout
Cohasset due to our substantial number of non-
conforming lots.
This special permit review process is a very
familiar, longstanding and workable process and
standard of review, employed under all commu-
nities' zoning bylaws. It is not impossibly sub-
jective or susceptible to abuse any more than any
other special permit process has been during
decades of applications and case law. A reminder
a) that a house must be quite large to be subject
to this bylaw - at least 3500 sq. ft. and in some
cases as large as 6000 sq. ft., and b) that this
bylaw does not prohibit such homes, but only
regulates them.
After a year in practice, we
.-Section 8 of
the Zoning Bylaw governs non-conforming lots
and structures only, but of which we have many.
This proposal has not come forward before, due
to more compromise with opponents, but needs
to come forward. These proposed changes
address situations that arose out of the 3
Jerusalem Ln. project and elsewhere - the initial
decision not to hold a special permit hearing, the
later decision to do so, the still-present dispute
amongst town officials and others over when
special permit hearings should be held, and the
disputes that sometimes arose during the hear-
ings as to which portion of Sect. 8 governed the
case.
The purpose of this proposal, then, is to avoid
future controversy surrounding Section 8 as
much of as possible by the addition of definitions
distinguishing specific construction scenarios,
and then more clearly defining what rules apply
to these different construction scenarios. The
intended result, going forward, is that Section 8.3
will govern new construction. 8.7 additions to
and tear-downs of existing buildings, and 8.9
reconstruction due to casualty loss. It is also
intended to counter the Bldg. Inspector's inter-
pretation, thai we (and the ZBA) believe is legal-
ly incorrect, and require a special permit hearing
with notice to abutters in all instances where
there is an enlargement of a structure on a non-
conforming lot.
Earth Removal Bylaw Replacement - Our
current earth removal bylaw. Section 1 1 of the
Zoning Bylaw, is of limited scope. Attempts had
been made recently to amend the bylaw by
adding "ledge protection" provisions. These
efforts received majorities, but not the necessary
two-thirds majority. The purpose of this propos-
al is to replace the existing earth removal bylaw
to incorporate the purpose of the previously pro-
posed "ledge" bylaws. (It also carries over the
existing earth removal limits). But also, since the
character of the land, of thus of the Town, can bi-
as much affected by grading and filling activities
as by simply the removal of ledge or earth, the
intent of this bylaw is to create a broader and
more comprehensive protection against all forms
of potentially adverse site alteration done in con-
nection with construction of buildings and Mruc-
tures only. There is no intent to regulate mainte-
nance of your existing yards or property. The
goal is to create a broader land alteration bylaw
that does not focus simply on one aspect of the
landscape, like ledge, but addresses all aspects of
the landscape, and also addition, as well as
removal, of material to a site.
Scenic Road Bylaw - This is not proposed in
connection with some particular recent case or
pressing issue. It is based on a model bylaw ih.it
exists in some form in many communities across
the state. It is proposed as another arrow to have
in the quiver of protection of the Town's charac
ter. This bylaw offers protections to stone walls
and ireej, unLy that lie within a road's right of
way. (Often, people think that pan of their lawns
or walls are on their property, but in fact may be
on the Town's property, since rights of way are
usually broader than the width of the actual
pavement). We know of some people that would
like to protect more, like views, but that is anoth-
er issue completely. So this bylaw is limited in its
reach, but offers protections we presently do not
have. The bylaw sets out a public hearing proces
for a road to be designated as a scenic road, but
no such designations are proposed as part of this
article.

On merit pay for teachers: Yes!
Patricia McGrail & Edward Lhnard
The Cohasset Teachers Association read, with
interest, Mr. Joe McElroy's opinion piece in the
Jan. 28, Cohasset Mariner in which he pointed to
the importance of putting "merit" into the
teacher contract. While you did not spell out
exactly how he would to this, we think that the
matter certainly should be explored.
We too have been looking at pay for perfor-
mance. Here's what we've discovered.
Cohasset schools have been out performing
over 95 percent of the school systems in
Cohasset schools have been out
ver 95 percent of
the school systems in
Massachusetts...
Massachusetts, as judged by student perfor-
mance on standardized tests such as MCAS.
SATI and SATII and by placement in elite col-
leges.
Average teacher salaries, as reported in a study
by Boston Magazine, show that Cohasset teach-
ers earn, on average $50,448. Similarly, the
average teacher salary for the other top perform-
ing school districts is well over $60,000.
Were Cohasset teachers to be pegged to any of
the standard indices of merit, the average pay
would need to be increased $10,000. This would
mean that in addition to the average raise nego-
tiated by comparably performing school districts
over the next three years (figures that are rough-
ly between 2.5 percent and 4.5 percent a year)
Cohasset would need to add no less than a 10
percent boost.
To the extent that Mr. McElroy supports this
true merit pay for Cohasset teachers, we the
Cohasset Teachers Association embrace his sug-
gestion.
Patricia McGrail is CTA President and
Edward Leonard, is Negotiations Chairperson.

Super Bowl
was not racy
enough
HENSHAW
TlAI HE
I have to admit I watched the Super Bowl
the Other da) but it w asn't to sec Tom Brady,
pass. Corey Dillon run or Rodney Harrison
tackle.
I was watching lor the naked babes.
Ever since Janet Jackson suffered her
■wardrobe mall unction."' or. as it is called
down at ihe poolroom •mammary gale." dur
ing Ihe halhime show at Super Bowl
XXXVIII. the greatest show in sports seems
li i have m< irphed into a Sham II Tw eed clas-
sic on C'inemax.
I had to start watching the Super Hi iw I
XXXIX show early for fear I might miss one
of those commercials like the one earlier in
the season where the Desperate Housewife
drops her towel and jumps naked into the
arms of Philadelphia Fagles star Terrell
Owens.
Who says NFL stands for the No Fun
League?
Frankly. I was disappointed in the quality, Ol
the commercials until midway through the
first half when an ad for Something called
CioDaddy.com* came on the screen.
It showed a suitably endowed young lady
apparently testifying before a Congressional
committee over the caption "Broadcast
Censorship Hearings "This looked like fun.
While she is testily ing. one of her bra straps
breaks but she catches it just in the nick of
time while the paparazzi go wild with their
Cameras and one of the senators puts on an
oxy gen mask.
I waited lor the commercial to be repeated
later in the game because I was sure thai
GoDaddy.com wasn't going to pay $2.4 mil-
lion to FOX lor just one 30 second showing. I
waiied in vain.
Sometime between the first and second
halves of the Super Bow I. while Paul
McCartney was performing dully clothed, let
it be noted i. the NFL decided it wasn't worth
GoDaddy .corn's S2.4 million to run it a set
ond time.
Especially since the FCC had rung up S8
million in lines for indecent programming ai
the rate of S32.O0O per incident in the year
since Janet's wardrobe malfunctioned.
"We poked fun at censorship and guess
what'.' We were censored. It's kind ol scary."
said Paul Cappeiii. chief executive of Ad
Store, the spot's creator.
Incidentally, if any of you guys taped that
commercial. I'd like to see it. She can't be
quick enough to catch that strap every time.
The FCC's definition of indecency, which
drove GoDaddy.com off ihe air and is scaring
the four-letter words out of the entire bn ad-
cast industry, is delightfully vague.
It is "language or material thai, in context,
depicts or describes, in temis patently offen-
sive as measured by contemporary communi-
ty standards for the broadcast medium, sexu-
al or excretory references "
President Bush, w ho rode to a second term
on a wave of family v alues. is no help, either.
"Government can. at times, not censor, bui
call to account, programming that gets over
the line." he said in a recent interv lew on C-
SPAN. "The problem, of course, is the defini-
tion of 'over the line.' That's the key."
Won't somebody tell the broadcasting
industry where that is .'

At least for the past few

originated from a silent surren-

in the police scandal and the
\. ii ions town manager scan-
dals. The risks of allowing
elected officials to have unbri-
dled power can he seen in the
increasingly disrespectful atti-
tude of certain individuals on
ihe Board of Selectmen toward
citizens going in front of the
board
Mv wile certainly witnessed
this treatment when she
applied to sit on the Cohasset
Common Historic District
Commission and not only had
to wail si\ months for a reply,
but also endured a couple
members of the Board insisting
that the letter of appointment
and swearing in she had
received from Town Hall were
invalid until they reviewed her
candidacy and actively recruit-
ed other candidates that they
preferred. Further. Ihe risks of
allowing elected officials lo
make sweeping decisions
regarding what's best for
Cohasset while ignoring the
voice of the people can he seen
in the Cook Estate and Little
Harbor disputes we're facing
today.
So I agree that we need to
return lo civility. This time let's
forge a new culture of civility
that is based on respect for the
differing opinions of our fellow
citizens and the energy and
passion that they are offering
up in their drive to get
involved. There are new voices
in town and plenty of old-
timers too who are lired of the
quiet status quo thai has left us
with government scandals and
personal agendas.
It's time for a more direct
democracy in Cohasset based
on deep respect for the individ-
ual interests of ihe residents of
our town. It's time for elected
officials to focus exclusively
on serving the interesls of their
constituents, the people of
Cohasset.
Realistically, we are in a very
small town with an active citi-
zen population— we do not
need an executive branch act-
ing in a vacuum to make high-
level decisions regarding what
is best for Ihe town. This is
why we have the town meeting
format — because at our size it
is possible for our government
to be directly responsive to the
people.
The Selectman position
therefore does not entitle offi-
cials to authority over the citi-
zens of Cohasset but instead
creates an obligation and a
responsibility on the part of the
Selectmen to serve the will of
the town's residents. Our elect-
ed officials are not truly volun-
teers and while we appreciate
iheir service they are not doing
us a favor: each election cycle
the Selectman position is con-
tested. So let's start with
respect for the people, trans-
parency, and good gover-
nance— and we'll see that a
deeply rooted civility neatly
follows.
Gabriel E. Gomez
59 Highland Avenue
Brooks responds to
McMorris commentary
TO THE Editor:
I read with interest the set of
letters in last week's Mariner
from Ms. McCann. Mr. Nee.
Ms. Kent, Ms. Charles and
Seleciperson McMorris. The
central agenda of each of" these
letters, other than a few per-
sonal attacks by Seleciperson
McMorris. was advocacy for
the Cook Estate project. That
advocacy is quite understand-
able and has merit.
I will comment on the Cook
project but first I must insist
lhat Selectperson McMorris
owes apologies to her named
and all other Little Harbor and
Atlantic Avenue residents, all
1 5(H) . for her unfounded accu-
sation that these residents are
seeking sewers lo gain a Title
V amnesty so they can sell
their homes and move!
Sure, Ronnie, the area resi-
dents organized CEES,
"Citizens for Equitable
Environmental Solutions",
back in 1997-thafs 8 long
years ago-for the absurd pur-
pose you claim! That's quite a
"reach", similar to your claim
that you are an environmental-
ist! You have been a
Selectperson for 9 years and
though you may have initiated
or supported other projects for
the benefit of Cohasset, the
extensive fecal coliform pollu-
tion of vast Little Harbor and
our once pristine coastal
waters, first documented by the
EPA and DEP in 1978, 27
years ago. remains uncorrected
to this very day. That is truly
embarrassing for all concerned.
I point out to all readers that
CEES was founded in 1997,
led by mothers, because the
DEP and State Attorney
General. fed up with
Cohasset 's decades of non-
compliance under the Superior
Court's clean-up Consent
Order, were on the brink of
levying $10,000 per day fines
and other severe sanctions
against Cohasset. We are all
quite indebted to this CEES
large group of alarmed citi-
zens, led by Ms. Lisa
Lojacano, a mother of small
children, who intervened and
persuaded the DEP and AG to
hold off on those fines and
sanctions and in nun made a
CEES commitment to work
with Town Officials towards
compliance with the Court
Consent Order. Thai's the true,
hard-won "amnesty" that
CEES obtained, for the benefit
of every Town resident, includ-
ing Ms. McMorris, and like
the pollution, its still in place,
but now threatened once again
due to the continued, non-com-
pliant arrogance of a few, mis-
guided Selectmen. I believe
Ms. McMorris was serving her
first term as a Selectperson in
this 1997 period.
Yes. parts of the Consent
Order have been complied with
but the largest, most offending
area of pollution-Little Harbor
and coastal waters-remain
uncorrected and the DEP and
Attorney General are back and
very angry! You would see
how angry if the Mariner could
see fit to publish the now-pub-
lic letter of Dec. 22 from these
agencies to the Board of
Selectmen. I don't blame them
for being angry! They are well
aware that Selectpersons
Sullivan and McMorris are
falsely claiming, in meetings
with and in documents to the
DEP/AG. that Ihe pollution has
been remedied and the Consent
Order complied with. Quoting
from the letter cited above,
"woefully inadequate" is the
language used by these law
enforcement agencies to
describe Cohassets clean-up
activities. Recent Government
testings, even a 2004 study by
our own Board of Health,
clearly show the fecal coliform
pollution is as bad as its ever
been, still 20-200 times the lev-
els set by law!
I also mention that our fine
Sewer Commission, even
(hough it has "earned" them
and their engineers a recent,
scurrilous, retaliatory attack
orchestrated by misguided
Town Hall officials, remains
steadfast in their long standing
conviction. eloquently
expressed by the
Commission's Chairman, thai
the Town has an obligation,
morally and legally, to remedy
existing, neighborhood pollu-
tion problems, long overdue, as
(op priorily before yielding to
pressure from Town Hall to
give away our precious, limited
sewage expansion capacity to
large, new housing project
developers. This conviction
was strongly endorsed by
overwhelming vote at the
recent Dec. 6 Town Meeting
and I expect we will see a sim-
ilar, ringing vote endorsement
for the Commission's Articles
at the upcoming April 2 Annual
Town Meeting. God bless
integrity and plain common
sense!
Finally. relative to (he Cook
L si;ite proposed housing devel-
opment, a project most all sup-
port, il clearly canjimceed at
any lime using the same, on-
site, environment-friendly
wastewater treatment system
that the Cedamere developer
has now adopted and gained
full DEP approval to imple-
ment. This tertiary
treatment/water recycle
process which, perhaps coinci-
dentally, I described in detail in
my Letter to Editor published
in the Nov. 5, 2004 Mariner
for the Cook developer to con-
sider, may be a bit more costly
than sewer connection and
usage fees, but it saves sub-
stantially on water usage and
costs and makes the environ-
ment, mother nature and our
children smile! Is the
Cedarmere developer smarter
and more environment-friendly
than the Cook project develop-
er? I hope not since so many
citizens and seniors wish to see
the project matriculate.
Perhaps its time for a different,
more environmentally con-
scious Cook developer to be
selected? Just a thought!
Coupled with over 45 years
of experience. I am intentional-
ly listing below some of my
applicable credential base for
speaking out on these matters
of great concern to me.
Cohasset and all my fellow
neighbors and citizens. I
moved to Cohasset, our
favorite Massachusetts town,
with my family in 1999, for
semi-retirement, an excellent
school system and great golf.
We were assured at thai time
by the Board of Health that
sewers would be installed
within 2-3 years! We had the
prudence, however, to insure
that our home was equipped
with a new, modern, staie-of-
an biological "Fast" sep(ic sys-
tem. I have no personal sewer-
need ax to grind, other than the
area's pollution, and we have
no intention of moving! Thank
goodness! Little did we know !

Police Chief James Hussev. right, welcomes Officer Edward Baglev to the department.
Police welcome new officer
By Samantha Brown
SAMBROWN«C NC.COM
Upon Ihc recommendation of
Police Chief James Hussey,
Town Manager Bill Griffin has
appointed Edward Bagley to
the position of Patrolman in
the Cohasset Police
Department.
"We're very fortunate to have
him," said Hussey of Bagley.
' who comes to Cohasset with
10 years experience working in
Chatham on Cape Cod.
Hussey said Chatham is a com-
munity very similar in size to
Cohasset. which is also some-
what off the beaten path, and
Bagley should be a great match
for the community.
At 37 years old Bagley not
only has experience working in
Chatham, but he also spent six
years working with the Boston
Municipal Police in the 1990s.
Currently, he is working on
earning his bachelor's degree
in criminal justice. He has
joined the 4 p.m. to midnight
shift, and Hussey said with his
extensive experience, "No
training period has been neces-
sary."
Bagley 's first day in
Cohasset was Monday. Feb.
14, and he said in the short
time he has been on the depart-
ment, things have gone very
well. "It's a very similar com-
munity to Chatham." Bagley
said in terms of its size, popu-
lation, and the size of both its
fire and police departments. "I
think I'll be a good fit." he
said.
In addition, Bagley said
growing up in Quincy and
attending many weddings and
other functions in and around
Cohasset. he knew even before
joining the department, he
liked the town.
Hussey said he has worked
cooperatively with Chief
Kevin Filzgibbons of the
Chatham Police Department
during the transition. Hussey
said he delayed Bagley 's tran-
sition to Cohasset to allow him
to stay on a little longer in
Chatham and help with the
after-effects of the blizzard.
With Bagley. the department
is now operating with 17 offi-
cers, and in the next week or
two. Hussey said Cohasset \
department will continue to
grow as it takes on another
officer. The department is
operating at full capacity with
19 officers on board Hussey
said hopefully the additional
men on the department will
help cut down on some of the
overtime which is accrued by
officers when there is limited
staff.
Motor vehicle crashes are the
number one killer of children
ages 2-14.
The use of belt-positioning
booster seats lowers the risk of
injury to children in crashes by
59 percent compared to the use
of vehicle seatbelts. The finding
comes from a study of children
ages 4 through 7 by Partners for
Child Passenger Safety, a State
Farm-funded research project at
the Children's Hospital of
Philadelphia.
That's why the Cohasset
Police Department is joining
with the National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration,
the Ad Council and others
around Valentine's this year to
commemorate National Child
Passenger Safety Week. The
purpose is to place special
emphasis on reminding all par-
ents and other adults responsi-
ble for children traveling in
motor vehicles: if the kids are
under 4 ft. 9 ins., they need a
b<x)ster seat.
"While 94 percent of
America's toddlers are now
regularly restrained, not enough
kids .ages 4-8 are properly and
safely restrained. Only 10-20
percent of kids ages 4-8, who
should be using booster seats to
protect them, are actually in
them." said Chief James M.
Hussey. "This puts children at
an unnecessary risk of being
injured or killed in crashes
because they are simply in the
wrong restraint for their size."
Children need to be in the
right restraint for their size and
age. One study showed that
children ages 2-5 who are
moved to safety belts too early
are four times more likely to
sustain a serious head injury
than those restrained in booster
seats. In a traffic crash, the
"Only 10-20 percent of kids ages 4-8, who
should be using booster seats to protect
them, are actually in them."
— Police Chief James M. Hussey
shoulder strap of a safety belt
will hit a child shorter than 4 ft.
9 ins. across the neck or face
rather than the chest, and there
is also a greater risk of internal
injury because an adult belt hits
across the child's stomach
rather than his/her lap. These
children need a booster seat -
which raises them up so that
adult safety belts fit over their
chests and hips property and
protects them in the event of a
crash.
Chief Husse> said as children
grow, how they sit in your car.
truck, van or SUV should also
change. For maximum child
passenger safety, parents and
caregivers simply need to
remember and follow the
"Fourt Steps for Kids":
• Use rear-facing infant seats
in the back seat from birth to at
least one year of age and at least
20 pounds:
• Use forward facing toddler
seats in the back seat from age
one and 20 pounds to about age
four and 40 pounds.
• Use booster seats in the back
seat from about age four to at
least age eight - unless the child
is 4 ft 9 inches or taller:
• Use safety belts in the back
seal at age eight or older or
taller than 4 ft. 9 inches. All
children age 12 or younger
should ride in the back seal
"Many parents are under the
false impression that children
who have outgrown child safe-
ty seats can move right into
safety bells, but nothing could
be further from the truth. Safely
belts, which are designed to fit
adults, won't fully restrain a
child in a crash." said Chief
Hussey
So. this year, during National
Child Passenger Safely Week,
police are uorking hard to
remind all parents, grandpar
ents. childcare providers and
other adults in charge of chil-
dren, to always remember thai
it iheir kids are less than 4 ft 9
ins. tall, they need a boostei
seat.
"Some parents or caregivers
may regard nooster seats as a
hassle to use or a pain to con
vince their children to use. Bui
we want to remind them this
year at Valentine's that truly
protecting the ones they love
means getting past (he tempo-
rary complaints and perceived
hassles because their children's
lives are really at risk.
"We want parents and care-
givers to always remember thai
using a booster seat will better
protect your child from being
thrown from the vehicle, or
thrown around inside it. during
a crash." said Chief Hussey
"So. always remember the Nit
torn line: if they're under 4 ft. 9
ins., they need a booster seat."

the proper use of booster seats
and child safety seats, please

Three for two
Skaters need a couple wins in their last
three games to make tourney
By Mark Goodman
MG00DMAN»CNC COM
Two weeks ago. not many
would have thought it possible.
The Cohasset hockey team
was 4-8. and thoughts of quali-
fying for the slate tournament
seemed somewhat tar-fetched.
Four wins in their last five
games, however, have brought
the Skippers up to 8-9. Now.
they need two wins in their last
three games to make it happen.
It will not be easy. Cohasset
travels tonight to take on
Wareham. a team the Skippers
defeated in their season opener.
5-3. That game was at (he
friendly confines of Pilgrim,
and was actually tied a three
until a couple late goals,
including an empty-neiier at
the butter.
Saturday, the Skippers travel
to Canton to take on
Westwood. one of the better
teams in Div. 3, Cohasset ends
their season at Pilgrim on
Monday at 4 p.m. with a game
against South Shore League
rival Norwell.
Perhaps the most reasonable
scenario would be a split of the
Wareham/Westwood games,
with Cohasset playing for a
postseason spot against the
Clippers.
No matter how things shake
out. the fact that Cohasset is
even in this position is quite
commendable, noted head
coach Ben Virga.
"It's a credit to these kids, and
to our captains for not letting
the team quit." Virga said.
Those captains are Ted
Straughn. Joe Durkin. Tim
Pilczak and Crandon Leahy,
who made his return to the ice
in Wednesday night's 6-1 win
over Carver and looked
impressive in doing so.
Straughn. the first-line center
for most of the season, has
moved to right wing on a line
that is now centered by Austen
Lan/illotti. Brian Straughn. the
team's leading goal scorer with
12. plays left wing.
Ted said after Wednesday's
game the move has not both-
ered him and has improved the

Cohasset finally
tops Foxboro;
eight in contention
for state title this
weekend

MGOO0MAN«C NC COM
The six seniors on Ihis
year's Cohasset wrestling
squad set a goal early in their
high school careers to win a
sectional championship in
their lasl year al CHS.
Last weekend, ihey got the
job done.
Joe Kehoe. Jonathan
Litiauer. Kevin Dinsmore,
Matt Casey. Matt Baroudi
and Colin Regan all placed in
the top-6 al Hollislon High
School, and led Cohasset to a
Div. 3 South sectional cham-
pionship.
"These six seniors have
been together since the sev-
enth or eighth grade; I know
this has always been a goal of
theirs, to win ihe sectional as
seniors." said head coach
Torin Sweeney. "This is a
credit to them and their hard
work. They've gone to the
wrestling camps and ihey
have put ihe time in. They
deserve it."
The sectional competition
has long been dominated by
Foxboro. who have won it the
last nine years. In 1999, they
shared ihe title with
Cohasset. The Skippers were
third lasl year, and second in
2003,
Bui lhanks 10 those seniors,
along with strong perfor-
mances by juniors David
McKenna and Shane Dorian,
and sophomore Nick Cambi.
Cohasset came out on top this
year The Skippers finished
wilh 203 learn points;
Foxboro was second with
188.
"This is a huge accomplish
ment. considering we're the
smallest school out of the 19
lhat were there." Sweeney
said. "This is a great accom-
plishment lor ihe kids, h's the
result of a lot of hard work.
Of course, it's not over yet

Cohasset had three state
champions lasl year (Kehoe

Haracz's clutch free throws clinch
postseason berth for CHS girls
By Evan Deutsch
CORRESPONDENT
High school basketball does-
n't get any better lhan the
blockbuster showdown lasl
Friday against neighboring
Hull. Bottom line: the Lady
Skippers captured a coveted
playoff spol in an absolute nail
biter of a finish
Stephen Speilherg could not
have scripted a more exciting
ending Like a comet out of the
sky. sophomore Haley Harac/
banged in two free throws sec
onds before the final bum to
nail a one point victory. 37-36.
What made the story even
better? Faced with a shortage of
players due to a hosi of player
injuries, head coach John
Levangie had just plucked
1 1. imc/ off the JV team in time
to join the varsity squad.
From the opening tip. it was
obvious that these teams were
equal. The Pirates brought to
the floor a very obvious height
advantage The Lady Skippers
offset this factor with their own
lightning-quick speed.
During the first half the
Skippers scared in the wide-
spread way Levangie had
hoped for. Casey Anderson led
the way. followed by her sister
Meg. Nicole Whiffle) and
Lacey Richardson.
Hull guard Kale Walpet kept
the Pirates in ihe game. At hall-
lime, the score was knotted at
21.
In the back of their minds, the
Skippers knew one more victo-
ry would catapult them into a
tourney spot. They ran the lltxir
with fire. To no one s surprise
ihe Pirates matched the high-
paced tempo
In a post game interview with
the Mariner, Levangie said.
The girls knew ihis was the
key game. Everyone stepped up
and contributed, and their deter
mination clearly paid oil
With 2(1 seconds left on ihe
dodt, the Pirates led Cohasset
by a single daunting point. As
the final buzzet grew closer, the
nail biting factor intensified on
the bench and in the stands.
So what does Levangie Jo to
surprise Hull'' Set up a play tot
Hatacz and hope she draws .1
foul. Bingo
The tension could be fell
throughout the enure gyrnruari-
um. At the foul line Harac/
look a deep breath and put up
her two shots She knew the
winning marbles rested on her
performance.
As her second and winning
throw sailed through the hoop.

Boys hoops end on a winning note
By Mark Goodman
MGOODMANCC NC.COM
Willi no senior, and several
varsity newcomers playing key
roles, most Cohasset boys hoops
fans knew coming into this seu-
son thai wins and losses may not
be the best gauge of the team's
success.
Finishing al 5- 1 5. the Skippers
will not be making a second con-
secutive trip lo ihe Div. 4 stale
tournament.
Il is how their season ended,
however, that will hopefirll)
serve as a foundation [or future
achievements
Cohasset won ihree of their last
Five games, highlighted by a
buzzer-beater at home Monday
against Nantucket.
Down by one with under ten
seconds to go. Cohasset turned
the ball over, and the Whalers
certainly had ihe upper hand. On
the ensuing inbouods pass, how-
ever, sophomore center Justin
Alexander made a great play to
anticipate the pass and steal the
ball.
The Skippers called timeout
with 5.6 seconds left, and set up
the final shot for junior guard
Trevor Brady.
Chris Bryan inbounded the ball
lo Brady, who used a couple
screens to get himself open.
Brady, a team co-captain, fired
away from NBA range, with the
shot banking in as time expired to
give the Skippers a 40-38 victory
Winning ,i game in that fashion
will hopefully give the team a
new level of confidence heading
into next season, said head coach
Dorian Bryant.
"It was an exciting win; we
were down and made two huge
plays and wound up winning the
game." he said. "The\ know they
can win tight games With that. I
think we have a chance to do
some special things next year."
Bryan had a team-high 15
points for the game. Brady sc ored

scored nine.
Il was the second game against
Nantucket in three da\ s. as the
boys boarded the ferry and trav-
eled to take on the Whaler! last
Saturday. Thai was another win.
this lime via a 45-41 score.
The story of the day here is the
fact that the Skippers came back
hum a 1 2-point deficit in the sec-
ond half lo win il.
"The kids fought back well, and
Ihey pulled out a win." Bryant
said. "It was a very good win for
them, to see that the system
works."
Bryan had a season- and career-
high 18 points. Brady chipped in
with seven.
Cohasset got these last two
wins without the services of
freshman guard Pat McCarthy,
who suffered a concussion early
in the first Nantucket game.
McCarthy has been one of the
team's better and more consistent
performers over the course of the
year.
The season ended Tuesday
night w ith a loss lo Norwell. The
Clippers are fighting for (heir
postseason lives, and yet.
Cohasset hung tough for a good
pari of the game.
It was tied at 16 at one point,
and the Skippers were down by
only six with less than a minute
remaining in the first half.
Norwell hit two threes in that last
minute, however, and repeated
the feat in the first minute of the
second half.
' That was a lead too big lo over-
come, but Bryant was not dis-
couraged afterwards.
"I can't really complain. We
won two games in a row for the
first time all year." he said.
The key for the Skippers' pro-
gram will be to play together over
the offseason and improve their
game. Il would be a good contin-
uation of what Bryant has seen
over the last four weeks.
"This last half of the season has
been very positive." Bryant said.
"There were definite signs of
improvement. I think the kids
know now that they belong in this
league, and they will compete
next year."

Skippers. Levangie and his play-
ers would head into playoffs for
a second year in a row.
Meg Anderson also played a
major role in contributing to the
valued tourney berth. She made
her presence felt on both ends of
the flour.
"We knew we could win this
game before we started," she
said. "Our mindset and determi-
nation earned us this victory.
Winning really took a lot of pres-
sure off."
The very next day the girls lit-
erally boated to Nantucket for
another contest with the
Whalers. Nantucket probably
wished the Lady Skippers got
stuck on the mainland. Though
this match-up proved no nail-
biter, the blowout victory helped
build the Skippers' confidence
going into the postseason.
The Skipper's easily contained
Nantucket with, according to
Coach levangie. "one of their
best defensive performances of
the season." At the end Cohasset
amassed 44 points to
Nantucket's meager 17.
Katie James spearheaded the
offense with an impressive 13
points, followed by Casey
Anderson with 10, Lacey
Richardson with eight, and Meg
Anderson with seven. For the
second game in a row. the Lady
Skippers had accomplished what
Coach Levangie wanted: spread-
ing around of the offensive
game.
When asked about her reaction
to lopsided victory, James said,
"We knew this was a game we
could easily win. We still
worked very hard and it felt
great."
Things did not go quite as
smoothly Tuesday night, when
Cohasset traveled to Norwell to
take on the Lady Clippers. It was
Senior Night for the four
Norwell seniors, and they played
their last home game in style,
sending the Skippers home with
a 58-33 defeat.
Norwell had little answer for
Casey Anderson down low, as
the senior (and recently named
South Shore League All-Star)
had 24 points and 17 rebounds,
with eight of those boards com-
ing on the offensive end.
Cohasset was down by <jnly
eight with 1 1 minutes to go. but
Norwell dominated down the
stretch. Turnovers and subpar
shooting were the main prob-
lems for the Skippers on' this
night.
"This is an easy one to forget."
Levangie said afterwards. "We
played poorly, that's it. We defi-
nitely have to take better care of
the basketball."
Meg Anderson did play pretty
well in the loss, a fact that was
not lost on Levangie after the
game.
Cohasset was 11-8 heading
into last night's regular season
finale against Hopedale.

team's offensive capabilities.
"Austen has been playing real-
ly well." Straughn said. "He
moves the puck well. Playing
with my brother is awesome, and
with Austen as the third guy on
the line, we've really been able
to do some things."
Virga says Lan/.illotti. only a
sophomore, has improved his
game with each period and will
only get better as he matures and
plays more.
"I think next year. Austen will
be a South Shore League All-
Star." Virga said. The only
question will be if he leads the
league in scoring."
The Carver game allowed
Virga to play a number of his
younger players for far more
shifts than usual. Corbin Faber
notched two goals in the first
period. The sophomore caught a
case of hat trick fever and tried
his best throughout the game to
get a third, but it wasn't meant to
be.
Leahy also scored off an assist
by R.K. Quebec, who got a goal
of his own a few minutes later.
Brian Straughn scored the other
goal in Cohasset's live-goal first
period.
In the second, sophomore Ben
Massotta got his first varsity goal
to finish the night of scoring for
the Skippers.
It was a continuation of the
veritable goal-fest that occurred
the night before against
Mashpee. Led by a Pilczak hat ,
trick, the Skippers won 8-2.
Faber, Quebec and Melissa
Crowley-Buck both scored the
first goals of their varsity careers
on this night. Faber's came early
in the second period and broke a
1-1 tie. propelling Cohasset to a
five-goal period and the win.
Durkin and Brian Straughn
scored the other Skippers goals.
Ted Straughn had three assists.

dominant in doing so.
McKenna beat the numbers
2- and 4- seeds in the last two
rounds, winning those match-
es 17-3 and 16-4. respective-
ly-
McKenna had been hurt
through most of December,
but is now hitting his stride.
Sweeney said.
It was a big day for Kchoe.
who had finished in third
place at the sectionals three
years in a row. His coach said
he dominated all opponents
during the sectional.
Littauer (119). Dinsmore
(130), Dorian (140), Casey
(171) and Baroudi (189) all
finished second at Holliston.
Casey and Littauer were
probably the closest to win-
ning their championship
matches.
Casey was matched with a
top-notch wrestler in
Foxboro's Joe Bordieri, and
battled well for all six min-
utes. Bordieri took a 2-1
decision.
Littauer also had an oppo-
nent from Foxboro. Justin
Thomas, and stayed in it until
the third period before he
was caught and pinned. The
two could very well square
off again at the states.
Cambi (215) finished fourth
in his division, while Regan
(152) finished sixth.
Also earning team points
for Cohasset by winning at
least one match were Jake
Watts (103). Adam Smith
(125) and George Miller
(275).
Last year's states were he).:
in Cohasset. This year's trfa-
el arrangements are vasny
different, needless to sar,
going to Pittsfield. The tejmi
will be spending the weekejld
there.
Sweeney said the long b'^s
ride should not an effect $n
the team.
"There's enough down tifje
to prevent that," he said.
"We'll get there around lOtor
1 1 [in the morning], and y> .
won't start wrestling unti(ll
in the afternoon. We shoijjd
be ready."
As was the case with ift.
sectionals, athletes will hafe
to win two matches on Friday
to advance to Saturday's laJsr

Pee Wee C3
Coastal Stars PeeWee C-3
soared again this weekend. The
Stars won 3-0 against Cape
Cod.
Goalkeeper Pat Healey had
many saves with help from his
defense; Tanner Dalley, Sam
Leahy, Carter Denton, and
Mike O'Halloran.
In the first period there was a
lot of action but both of the
teams had no luck, although
there were many attempts to
score by Kevin Thomas,
Conor Queenan, Eric
Bartucca, Sam Labo, and Joe
Fitzsimmons.
In the second period Chris
Roberts had two breakaways
and the team was very anxious
to score. Period three came and
Thomas scored with help from
O'Halloran. Queenan scored
the second goal on a break-
away.
The third and final goal was
scored by Austin Hale with
help from Eric Bartucca.
The Stars play again
Monday, Feb. 21 at Rockland
at 12:50.
Mite CI
The Coastal Stars Mite C-l
team faced an undefeated
Hanover team Saturday and
came away with a 4-2 victory.
Tyler McKinnon was a brick
wall in goal, frustrating
Hanover through three periods.
The line of Daniel Cronin,
Sean Feeney and Ben Swim
with - defensive help from
Davis Cronin and Jake
Moore - kept the puck out of
their zone and the pressure on.
Cam Mastrangelo started
the goal scoring with a great
breakaway. James Dietrich
and Feeney, who did double
duty, kept the puck moving in
the Hanover zone. Joe Deyeso
and Joe Proctor held off many
Hanover opportunities and
were awesome on defense.
The other three goals came
from Liam Manning, who had
his own breakaway goal, and
Jack Conlon, who had two
goals with an assist from Hugh
Healey. The boys had great
backup from the strong defen-
sive line of Jack Shaw and
Tommy Prendergast.
The Stars face Braimree next
week.
Mite C2
The Coastal Stars Mite C2
team came from behind in the
last minute of play to tie the
Braintree Mite C2 team 3-3 on
Saturday at the Devine Arena
in Dorchester. In one of the
most exciting games of the
year. Derek Benson took a
feed from Jo Jo Carbone with
less than a minute to play and
beat the Braintree goalie on the
short side with the tying goal.
Despite a scoreless first peri-
od, the two teams skated hard
with the Stars having several
good scoring chances. Carbone
and Gunnar McKenzie each
had- solid shots on goal.
Harrison Sheldon almost
scored on a breakaway scoring
chance after stealing the puck
at the blue line.
Andrew Kuppens, Seamus
Ryan, Matty Johnson,
Robert Bothwell and Shaelyn
Tobin displayed some solid
play on defense during the
period while Evan Antonuccio
played a solid two way game at
wing, including some solid
back checking.
The Stars kept solid offen-
sive pressure on Braintree dur-
ing the second period. Brian
Mathews was stopped on an
uncontested breakaway after
making a great move at the red
line and Kyle Bowman was
denied a goal on a wrist shot to
the upper comer on a another
great save by the Braintree
goaltender. Braintree took the
lead late in the period scoring
two goals on back to back
shifts.
Trailing 2-0 going into the
third period, Antonuccio got
the stars on the board setting up
a goal from right side of the
net. TUcker Antico then tied
the game at two on the next
shift assisted by Mathews.
It was evident that both
teams wanted the win.
McKenzie made an outstand-
ing defensive play on a
Braintree breakaway, giving up
his body on slide reminiscent
of Don Awry. Christopher
Phillips made several great
saves down the stretch and
showed incredible toughness
staying in goal after taking a
wrist shot to the unpadded area
above the knee.
The Stars pulled the goalie
for the last shift putting in the
"Fire" line. Mathews, Carbone,
Mats Nelson, Bowman.
McKenzie, and Benson were
relentless keeping the pressure
on Braintree leading to the
tying goal.
Mite B
. The W's keep piling up for
the Stars Mite B team. Playing
the toughest part of their sched-
ule, here is a re-cap of the past
two games:
First up was a feisty
Pembroke team. The Stars had
a weapon - a missile named
Curtis Golden. Golden came
roaring out of a scoring slump
and lit the lamp three times
with assists from Robert
Reidy, Tucker Ambrose, and
Joey Redfearn. This was the
fourth hat trick of his career.
Adding to the scoring-fesi.
Matt Doyle and Jeffrey
Powers each scored a goal off
assists from the Evitts broth-
ers, Jack and Brendan. The
game ended with a 5-2 score, in
favor of the Stars.
Next up on Sports Center -
Weymouth. This proved to be a
tough contest, but once again
the Stars prevailed, out-
muscling Weymouth by a slim
margin and a 3-2 final score.
Kal Maier (between the pipes)
faced his toughest challenge ol
the season. He displayed laser-
like focus in deflecting shot
upon shot. With the help from
his defensive partners, Declan
Leahy, Bryan Bowman. M
James Hussey, and Redfearn. Pj
a.k.a. 'The Department of •
Defense." Maier resembled a
young Patrick Roy.
The Stars held the high-scor-
ing Weymouth offense to just
two goals. The fans must have
felt like they were at Gillette
Stadium watching the
Divisional playoffs between
the Pats and the so-called "high
scoring" Colts.
The Stars countered with a
side order of Rice - Sam Rice.
Rice received a room service
pass from the hustling Patrick
Graham and buried a wrist
shot at 12:09 in the first frame
Weymouth lied the score at the
end of the period.
The second period started
with the marvelous skills and
nifty passing from the line ol
Reidy, Michael Lund and
Aiden Bereford. At 13:08 ol
the second frame. Reidy gained
the blue line, fed a lead pass to
Lund on the "Rush Limbaugh"
right wing. Lund threaded the
puck through the needle of the
Weymouth defensemen and the
puck landed on the center, ol
Bereford's stick. Bereford did-
n't waste any time and scored
the go-ahead goal, making the
score 2-1. Weymouth, howev-
er, answered the call and lied
the score 45 seconds later.
The third period featured
great defense from Leahy and
Hussey. Maier was in a zone
and the Stars shut down count-
less Weymouth attacks. With
3:05 to play, the conehead line
of Jeffrey Powers, Ambxose.
and Rice took over: Powers to
Ambrose to Rice and it was
nothing but net!
With the 3-2 win, the Slars
are in sole possession of $rst
place.
Girls travel basketball report
Sixers battle
in triple
OT thriller
HOURS: MONDAY-FRIDAY: 7:30-6 PM SATURDAY; 8-12 N
The sixth grade girls took on
the iron of the South Shore
League over the weekend,
traveling to undefeated,
league-leading Abington on
Saturday and then returning
home to host second place
Duxbury on Sunday.
The Blue & White acquitted
themselves well in both con-
tests. In the Abington game,
Cohasset led for most of the
first half and went into the
intermission tied at 6.
However, a three-minute
stretch of poor decision-mak-
ing by the Blue & White at the
start of the second half allowed
Abington to pull out to a 12-6
lead, which Cohasset was
unable to challenge. Still,
Cohasset came away with a
moral victory in that the 14-8
final score was the lowest
number of points scored by
Abington this season. Emma
Musto was the leading scorer
for the Blue & White with six
points and Kate French added
a bucket.
The Cohasset girls treated
the large crowd in attendance
at Sunday's game at the CHS
gym to a real barn-burner,
forcing the contest into triple
overtime against a Duxbury
squad whose only losses this
year have come to Abington.
Once again, the Sixers put on a
tough defensive display in the
first half, limiting Duxbury to
few opportunities and only
four points in the opening 20
minutes.
The Cohasset girls had their
chances to break the game
open, but many shots of the
"around the rim and out" vari-
ety kept the game to a 4-4
deadlock at the half.
Similar to the Abington
game, a poor three-minute
stretch midway through the
second half seemed to doom
Cohasset as Duxbury grabbed
a 12-6 advantage with less
than eight minutes showing on
the clock. However, Cohasset,
employing its half-court trap
effectively for the first time
this season with a lot of ener-
gy, tied the game up in quick
order thanks to buckets by
Musto, Carli Haggerty, and
Carly Martin.
Eliza Kinneally then gave
the Blue & White their first
lead since the opening half,
sinking two clutch free throws.
However, Duxbury came right
back to tie things back up at
French came through with a
big hoop as the clock wound
down under a minute, but two
Duxbury free throws evened
the contest, sending it into
overtime.
Cohasset had the best chance
to score in the first OT, send-
ing a girl to the free throw line,
but was unable to convert the
opportunity, leaving the score
at 16-16 going into the second
OT.
Both teams picked up the fre-
netic pace even further in the
second OT. Duxbury drew first
blood with a pair of free
throws, but French came right
back for Cohasset with a big
hoop. Once again the Sixers
had a girl at the line in the final
minute, but once again the
Blue & White was unable! to
take advantage of the opportu-
nity.
Duxbury opened OT numper
three by quickly taking advan-
tage of a costly Cohasset foul
in the backcourt to sink both
ends of the one-and-ohe.
Musto responded with a rice
hoop underneath to tie the
game at 20-20, but two mbre
Duxbury foul shots and theh a
clinching "rainbow" shot frpm
inside the three-point line-
made it an insurmountable
lead for the visitors as tMse
onds ticked away.
Rachel Fredey hit thifrimt
end of a one-and-one wifnve
seconds to go, but Cowlsei
was unable to rebounjf the
ensuing miss off the sjiond
free throw to set up for a possi-
ble three-point shot at the end,
leaving Duxbury with a hard-
earned 24-21 win. . <
In addition to everyone who
scored points over the week-
end, the coaches praised the
efforts of Caroline Fein, Amy
Costa, Logan Pratt, Emma
Quigley, Lindsay Davis, tend
Olivia Murphy for their
rebounding and defensive
work. Despite the twin losses,
the Sixers; coaches '.were
pleased with the efforts of. their
team, which already , has
clinched a playoff berth in.the
competitive South s'hore
League.
"I think our play this week-
end showed that we can com-
pete against anyone in the
league," said Coach Steve
Fredey, "and is a good omen as
we look ahead to the playoffs
in March."

''" — Storyteller and Marshfield
'' ' resident Jay O Callahun
' The Story Tsunami benefit
'Friday, Feb. IS will feature six
Internationally known story-
■tellers and musicians, who will
entertain guests with stories
1 that somehow relate to the dis-
■' aster, either the through the
' plot of their stories or through
1 the feelings they convey.
1 'There was an awareness that
- ' aM the interest in the tsunami
wns going to disappear quick-
'' ly. but not for [the victim],"
•Said Jay O'Callahan, a world
' renowned storyteller who live-,
in Marshfield and will be par-
■'■ tidipating in the Story Tsunami
benefit. "In five years, or ten.
''their children are still gone or
"their mothers are gone or their
1 wife — gone."
'•" Some of the storytellers will
■pay direct homage to the
' region hit by the tsunami, like
• New York's Bob Reiser who
' plans to tell folk tales from Sri
Lanka, and Derek Burrows,
another Massachusetts-based
•' storyteller who will talk about
'time he spent in Bali.
O'Callahan said he is going to
tell a story about a different
community affected by a dif-
ferent kind of tragedy,
j .O'Callahan will be telling
one of his earliest stories. The
"Herring Shed, about a fishing
iTi' .
community in Nova Scotia
during World War II. The vil-
lage is not hit by a natural dis-
aster like the tsunami, but is
instead withstanding a constant
stream of telegrams informing
them their sons and brothers
have been killed in the war.
"Something like The Herring
Shed is about an enduring
pain," O'Callahan explained.
"You go on. and these people
|the tsunami victims) will go
on with death."
Storyteller Andrea Lovett of
Abington helped organise the
event and will also perform.
"The public has short memo-
ries when the tragedy is sever-
al thousand miles away."
Lovett said. "It is important to
keep this tragedy in the news
as it is not a problem that will
go away overnight."
Lovett planned the event
after storyteller Lee-Ellen
Marvin created a Web site ask-
ing others to organize Story
Tsunamis. They are now being
performed all over the country.
In addition to O'Callahan.
Reiser. Burrows and Lovett.
storyteller Wiesy MacMillan.
who is also from Marshfield.
will perform as well, along
with flutist Barbara Wall. The
proceeds from Story Tsunami
will go to the Red Cross. There
will be a separate children's
program for youngsters under
age 12 Sunday. Feb. 20 at 2
p.m. ai the Our World
Children's Global Discover}
Museum, the* proceeds of
which will go to Oxfam. That
performance will feature
Lovett. MacMillan. storyteller
Diane Postoian as well as
vocalist Katie Shcpard and
harpist Jen Poole, both of
whom are just 14-years-old.
O'Callahan said that while
his story is somewhat sad. he
and his fellow storytellers do
coming together to help some
people in desperate need.
"We don't want the night to
be a great sadness. I'm hoping
mine will he the really sad
one." O'Callahan said with a
laugh.
The other storytellers echoed
that sentiment.
"The stories are around
themes of laughter, love and
hope - three universal antidotes
to pain suffering." said Reiser.
"I hope to celebrate the coun-
tries which have been so dam-
aged by this terrible event, so
that the audience can appreci-
ate the people who they are
aiding."
Generating a sense of com-
munity will be at the center of
the evening though, several
storytellers said. Like Reiser.
Burrows said he wanted to give
the audience a sense that they
were helping real live people.
A native of the Bahamas who
came to Boston in the mid-70s.
Burrows said the outpouring of
support for tsunami victims
reminded him of the Blizzard
of '78, when some of his rather
cold Bostonian neighbors who
had never said hello to him
before were suddenly very
helpful.
"One thing that is always
impressive about humans is
that even though we can be a
selfish group at times, we also
have the capacity for extreme
generosity and willingness to
help and give." Burrows said.
"As storytellers we have the
ability to affect people through
our words and images and sto-
ries. Anything we can do to
help those who need help is
important, whether its giving
money or helping to raise
money."

Water purification for village in Haiti
The Middle School Youth
Group at St. Stephen's Episcopal
church is working to raise
enough money to provide a water
purification system for a village
in Haiti. Last spring, the youth
saw a video shared by teens
involved in Caribbean U-Turn. a
Mattapan- based program that
seeks to help troubled Haitian
youth in the Boston area. The
video documented the devastat-
ing conditions in which the
majority of Haitian people live.
Often, walls in housing are
formed from deteriorating mat-
' ' tresses and fresh, clean water is
unavailable. In a December 2003
article in the South Florida Sun-
Sentinel. Haiti was listed at the
forefront of a global water crisis.
According to recent studies by
the United Nations, Haiti is
ranked among the worst in the
world for water supply and qual-
,. . ity. Internationally. 4 million
children die every year from
water-borne diseases such as
cholera and diarrhea one child
' every 8 seconds. As you are read-
ing this article, children including
Haitian children are dying
because of inadequate clean
water supply.
St. Stephen's Middle School
group is determined to help com-
bat this problem. Our goal is to
raise $10,000 in order to pur-

Frazier's seminar will

A little over a month ago, we had the biggest,
most successful rug event in our 40 year history
...So big we had to spread it over seven stores.
And that became a problem. Some customers
complained that, try as they might, they couldn't
see all the rugs... the event was just too big.
That's why we're repeating it. Marjorienas
changed the selection In each and every
store. If you go to the Building #19 you shopped
last time, you'll see over 300 new and different
niM.
Tf vou missed the event, and you've thought
about owning a fine Oriental Rug, you get a
second chance to see some of our best rug
bargains .
Apparently, over half of New York City s oriental rug
importers (there really aren't that many) were concerned that
the current world chaos would dry up their sources So they
very quietly brought in far more that they usually do I guess
they figured that the world upheaval would reduce production
of hand made rugs and make it loo dangerous or expensive
to transport them
At the New York Market on November 14th. most of
them were surprised to find such an over-supply, and so was
Marjorie, our astute buyer, who phoned my son Bill who said
"If these are bonafide bargains that we will be proud to
sell, keep buying We may never get another chance like this1

rugs reminiscent of the 1920's Art Deco movement; Nepalese rugs with the Tibetan flavor
Persian Gabbehs with their sophisticated Tribal look; Turkish rugs with the fashionable vegetable dyes!
INVESTMENT?
No one really knows! I would guess that as
"western culture" spreads, the cost of rug making
will go up, and the costs of transportation will go up
. . but no one really knows.
They ARE a good investment if you enjoy living
with them, walking on them, and looking at them.
I consider them a work of art for the floor Instead
of for the wall ...and a desirable heirloom to
pass down from generation to generation.

A woman pats a stingray at Holland America's Stingray Adventure facility, a one-acre, lagoon-skte pen that
houses 26 rays, at UtOe San Salvador Island In the I
islands. You and your fellow pas-
sengers have the place to yourself.
You can kick back on an isolated
outcropping of sand amid rocky
ruins the Arawak Indians once
might have called home.
The island boasts plenty ol
while talc beach and ample
lounge chairs, the perfect place Ic
while away the day doing nothing
but developing a tan. But then
you'd miss some of the fun activi-
ties. In addition to the stingrays, a
standout is the newly debuted
horseback ride into the surf.
Minutes after stepping off the
ship's tender, we were at a 5-acre
paddock where Molasses and 23
other water-loving steeds awaited
their nimp along the beach and a
wild dash into the surf . The expe-
rience is exhilarating. If pniver-
bially you can lead a horse tc
water but not make it drink, these
muscular chestnut- and oak-col-
ored mounts sure loved to swim
The specially trained herd from
the famed Ch.uk.ka Cove in
Montego Bay, Jamaica, were
down first to Eleuthera aboard a
727 then ferried to Half Moon
Cay. Here they do live rides a day
and the I 1 /4-hour excursion costs
a reasonable $59.
Not into horses'.' Take a Jeep tc
Ihe other side of the island for a Jet
Ski excursion that zooms over
wave crests at 38 mph. We
skipped that in favor of a guided
nature walk. Our leisurely jaunt
wended through Half Moon Cay's
version of backcountry, where
guide Frank Smith eagerly
described the flora and fauna
Starting nearly every sentence
with "Believe you me, my
friends." Smith said sapodilla
trees are the source of Chiclets.
Several neon-blue lizards darted
across the sand. Following theii
tracks, we spyed a curly-tailed
lizard posing in the sun. Rising tc
only 90 feet above sea level. Hall
Moon Cay has such delights a*
wild orchids. As Smith chatted,
the lyrical song of Bahamas
mockingbirds provided back-
ground music a: Smith said these
creatures can even mimic chain
saws and telephone rings, though
we laughed skeptically. Among
the bird species that thrive on the
island is the yellow banana bird
which is quite visible around the
island's barbecue lunch spot.
Lunch on island is an open-ail
affair, a bullet barbecue, free to all
passengers. We piled our platev
high with burgers, chicken and all
the fixing', including luscious
brownies for dessert. Beverages
are extra. It was not as if we had
overworked ourselves but, hey.
who can ignore the call of the
island's massage parlors x twe
open-air huts overlooking the
beach'.' Here ynu can opt for an
hour massage that will leave you
limp. For a taste of true luxury,
some passengers lounged in sea-
side cabanas. Eight private cot-
tages dot die beach, available foi
those willing to fork over $249
per day. Each accommodates up
to six people. Tack on anothei
$200 and you get buder service
and drinks all-around for the day.
As we headed for the dock tc
catch Ihe tender back to the ship.
we decided next time we'd gild
the lily and splurge on one ol
those.

HEARING AND HEALING
According to recent research,
elderly individuals v. ho arc about
to undergo rehabilitation follow-
ing a hip fracture may want to
see a hearing specialist before
going to a physical therapist. The
study shows that elderly patients
who have trouble hearing tended
to show poorer functioning
before hip fracture. They also
took longer to complete rehabili-
tation and fared worse from the
rehab program. On the basis of
this finding, it is suggested that
elderly hip-fracture patients have
their hearing losses attended to
with the introduction of a hearing
instrument. This strategy docs
nol come immediately to mind
when an older person fractures a
hip; however, it can have a big
impact on the outcome of the
rehabilitation if hearing is opti-
mal.
When an uncorrected hearing
loss causes the loss of important
moments in life, it's time lo
rediscover the benefits of healthy
hearing and the marvelous won-
ders now available in hearing
instruments. Begin with a free
hearing test administered by a
Board Certified Hearing
Instrument Specialist here al
FAMILY HEARING CARE
CENTER if you feel you are
hearing less than you once did If
you have a hearing instrument
you arc unhappy with, we'd be
happy to consult with you about
it and try to find a better match.
Come see us at 534 Main Street
(Rt. 18). across from the Stetson
Bldg. in Weymouth PH: 781-
337-1144.
P. S. Poor eyesight was also
found to be an impeding factor
among older individuals who
were rehabbing from hip frac-
tures.

Clock is ticking
for Cook Estate
Hull connection
floated as option
By Samantha Brown
SAM6R0WWCNC.COM
Paces were Hushed and ten-
sions were high as a divided
Board of Selectmen laced the
reality thai time will soon be up
lor the Cook Estate project and a
wastewater solution is nowhere
in sight.
Although Selectmen signed a
third amendment to the purchase
and sale agreement with the
heirs of the Cook Estate roughly
one month ago — which extend-
ed the deadline for the town to
find a wastewater solution for
the project until April 30, 2003
— no progress has been made on
the issue.
"'We have two months and one
week left and if we don't have a
solution, it goes hack onto the
market." said Selectman Ralph
Dormii/er of the Sohier Street
property, adding in his opinion,
the town should either begin
negotiating to bring the size of
the project down which would
make an on-site wastewater sys-
tem feasible, or begin looking
either to the town or its neighbor,
the town of Hull, for sewer con-
nections. "We need to take
action." he said.
Selectman Ronnie McMorris
said she is not in favor of chang-
ing the scope of the project,
which is building 95 units ol
senior housing on the combined
22 -acres of Cook land and 8.7
acres of adjacent town property.
"After so many years, we finally
have a project and il is better
than we ever imagined." she
said. She added Cook project is
a town-sponsored project and the
hoard is fully behind it and will
Carry OUI the wishes of the resi-
dents which approved it at Town
Meeting.
The town voted on the Cook
Estate project al the 2003 fall
Special Town Meeting At that
point in time, a developer had
not been chosen and plans for the
project had not been presented
Town Meeting voted to approve
the allocation of $4.5 million for
the purchase of the Coolt land,
knowing it would he marketed
and sold to a developer with the
adjacent town land lor the pur
pose of building senior housing.

The Zoning Board of Appeals
has not rated nor penned a deci-
sion, vet il doesn't take a crystal
ball lo see whai it is going lo say.
The specifics won't be known
until a decision is filed with the
Town Clerk and that won't take-
place until alter March 7 when
Ihe ZBA expects to vote - bul
thai vote in all likelihood won't
give Avalon ihe green light to
absorb some of the town's exist

Avalon, which is planning to
build 2tKl apartments off Rte. 3A
including 511 affordable units, is
seeking a modification of its
comprehensive permit thai
would allow it lo hixik up to the
town's sewer treatment plant.
Avalon asked the ZBA to deter-
mine whether ihere is adequate
capacity and presenied testimony
during the public hearing last
month from its own consulting
engineers that there is.
But the ZBA isn't going to
wear the "sewer" hat and will
defer (o the Sewer Commission,
w hich are the local "subject mai-
ler experts" on the issue. In other
words, the ZBA is conceding that
the Sewer Commission knows

says whatever sewer capacity
that may exisi loday must be
reserved for the expansion ol the

Residents say to schools: 'Show us the money'
Want regular
budget updates
By Samantha Brown
SAMBROWN#C NC.COM
The school department musi be
hearing the message loud and
clear — taxpayers want to know
where their money is being spent,
citizen activists lay
To help encourage more public
disclosure of the budget moving
forward, a gnmp of concerned
residents have banded together to
place a citizens' petition on the
Annual Town Meeting Warrant,
which will ask the School
Committee as well as the town's
Director of Finance to make bud-
get figures available on a regular
Proponents of the petition.
Leonora and Lcland Jenkins. 198
Jerusalem Rand, came before the
Advisory Committee Thursday.
Feb. 1 7 to present the article
"We just want to sec the num-
bers." said Leonora Jenkins,
adding budget figures are public
records and by law are available
to residents at any lime "We .ire
requesting to have the information
available 90 citizens don't have 10
ask for it every month."
The petition comes in the wake
of the town's passing a S4IXMI0O
Prop. 2-1/2 fiscal year 2005 bud-
gel override last spring to cover
school costs, as well as the recent
discov ery of potentially £300,000
in unhudgcted iind underbudgeted
FY05 school costs. The school
department has not yet come for-
ward with any firm numbers
regarding how much Ihe FY03
deficil is. or how il will be paid
for.
In addition, ihe school depart-
ment is requesting a rough!) S
percent budget increase lor FY06.
The school department Bays
because a little more thiin 4 per-
cent of its total budget increase
will be spent on Special
Education out-of-districl luition
costs, which are a school obliga-
tion mandated by the state, it is
really asking for a little more than
a 3 percent increase. The town
has said it can afford to give the
schools a 2 percent increase.
The petition asks for Town
Meeting to approve B bylaw
change, which reads: "The town
Director of Finance and the
School Committee will present to
the Selectmen on a monthly basis
an accurate monthly expense sta-
tus report Hi the line items in their
budget TMs report shall indicate
MTD (month to date). QTD
(quarter to dale) and YTD (year to
date) figures. The information
shall he available to the public at
the Paul Pratt Memorial Library
and die Town Clerk's office and
shall be updated on a monthly
basis."
Advisory Committee member
Merle Brown said one major lac
tor w hich could affect whether the
town and school departments are
able lo produce regular budgel
updates is whether there will be a
cost associated With it. Director of
Finance Michael Buckles said
there will be no cost adding "1 do
it already." Buckley, at the Hoard
of Selectmen's request, said he
has been prov iding monthly bud-
get updates to the board for rough-
ly the past six months.
Advisory Committee member
Pal Waters asked Buckley how
difficult il would be for the
schools to conform to the request.
"For me. it's not difficult at all."
said Buckley, adding the library
has ,i mailbox where ihe informa-
tion can he dropped off, and for
him. the Town Clerk's office is
right downstairs. Waters added
the school department has j Weh
site which is constantly being
updated, and the information
could be posted there as well
However. Bn>wn laid he wasn'l
sure the updates would he possi-
ble "If you listened to what the
School Committee said last time
they were here, they can't even
figure Out last year's budget How
are they going to do il monthly?"
Brown asked Buckley if he would
see a problem with Ihe Setae)
Comminee being able to provide
the information every month, to
which Buckley replied. "No."
Waters added. "The community
is entitled to the information. If
the School Committee can't com-
ply, that's going lo raise a whole
new set of questions."
Asking the School Committee
to report its findings to the Board
of Selectmen has raised some
legal concerns. According to
members of the Advisory
Committee, as of Thursday's
meeting, initial conversations
with Town Counsel Paul
IX-Rensis had indicated he was
concerned both with the wording
that says the School Committee
will present its findings, as an
elected board cannot be directed,
and the fact that it would have to
report to the Board of Selectmen
which does not have authority
over it.
Leonora Jenkins said however
that she has been in touch with the
Secretary of Stale's office and the
State Attorney General's Office,
and both has a different opinion
than Town Counsel. 'They don'l
see any reason why the School
Committee can't report to the
Board of Selectmen."
Separate for a reason
School Committee member
Adricnne MacOirthy said she has
a problem with requiring the
School Committee to present the
figures monthly. She said the
sch(x)l department budget is sepa-
rate from the town budget for a
reason. She said the role of the
School Committee is to not only
deal w ilh Ihe finances, but to serve
as an advocate for education
"Because of its separateness. you
can advocate for the best public
education." she said.
MacC.irlhy said the reporting of
the FYII6 budgel this year has
been "a step above what we've
seen in past years." and she said
while there may be a lag in the
flow of information. "I think
we're getting better and making
headway." MacCarthy said keep-
ing the two budgets separate is
"for the good of the schools."
However. Advisory Committee
member Roger Hill said the inten-
tion of the bylaw change is not to
unite the two budgets. He said the
purpose is to ensure that alter the
town is given its allocated amount
of money, and after Ihe money is
spent in the best interest of the
Schools, there is a urOOBSS that
comes into effect lo keep taxpay-
ers informed. "We just want to
know where it has been spent
Show us." he said.
The Advisory Comminee said
because there are some potential
legal issues, it would like to speak
to Town Counsel. The Jenkinses
said they and other proponents
would be willing to work with the
town to craft some language that
accomplishes everything the resi-
dents and ihe board wants and
ensures the article is legal.
Overall, the Advisory Committee
said it was in favor of the bylaw.
"This is exactly the kind of infor-
mation the board has been asking
for." said Waters.
The Jenkinses came before the
Selectmen Tuesday. Feb 22 to
present the articles and il tix> said
it would like feedback from coun-
sel before making any recommen-
dations. While Selectman Rob
Spofford said he understands
where the citizens are coming
Irom, us he has been asking for
regular budgel updates from Ihe
School department for some lime
now. he said no one likes operat-
ing "with a hammer over their
head." He suggested tlx' board
speak with Supt. of Schools
Denise Walsh and the School
Committee about the article
before making any recommenda-
tions.

Complementary TM article
requests more financial info
By Samantha Brown
SAMBROWN9CNC.COM
Citizens have signed a petition
asking both the school depart-
ment and town lo provide month-
ly budgel updates. As a comple-
ment, a second petition has also
been floated which will ask
Town Meeting to decide whether
the town and school department
should also provide monthly
reports on all revolving and
enterprise accounts.
Both accounts operate by tak-
ing in money for the services
they provide. The petition
would ask residents to approve a
bylaw change which would read.
"A detailed income and expense
report with MTD (month to
dale i. QTD (quarter to dale), and
YTD (year to date) totals shall be
presented to the Selectmen on a
monthly basis. All costs relating
lo tee lor services, including:
salaries, benefits, any and all
insurance not limited to worker's
compensation and liability, utili-
ties, maintenance, repairs, clean-
ing, equipment updates, supplies,

able charges shall be reflected in
expense totals, Phis monthly
information shall be available lo
the public at the Paul Prait

report."

was meant to spot deficits in pro-
grams and require full COSI

not the case "Run it at a deficit it

COHASSET'S WEEK
FROM COOK. PAGE 1
Then w ould be a double closing,
transferring the propert) Don
the Cooks to the developer. The
town was assured none of its
money would be spent during the
transaction.
\ Request tor Pfoposab was
aetU out to attract potential
developers lor the site, and a
search committee was formed to
make a recommendation to the
Hoard of Selectmen on which
senior housing proposal il felt
would hcNt sun the needs of the
town. The bo;ird appointed the
Northland Residential company
in March. 2IKM It was thought
at thai tune the project, dubbed
"The Villages at Deer Hill."
would he complete hv
December 2006.
Selectman Fred Koed said in
his opinion, when the article
was presented at the Special
lown Meeting in the full of
2003, "We promised we'd go on
site."' with an> wastewater dis-
posal plans lor whatever project
was eventually presented. Tests
on site concluded the soils
would not he able to support the
kind of wastewater the project
would generate, and with diller-
ent plans in place, he believes
low ii Meeting should be
informed He said articles were
floated lor the Special Town
Meeting this year which would
have asked the town s opinion
on the wastewater issue, but
thev were withdrawn at the last
minute. "Why were they with-
drawn if that's what we want-
ed.'" he asked.
McMi mis said sewer has been
a verv contentious topic and
there has been some concern
that sewer capacity would be
given to projects over existing
residences. However, she said
There is a lot of capacity avail-
able from our neighboring town
ol Hull." and perhaps the town
should begin looking to it as a
viable solution.
But looking to gain a connec-
tion from Hull may only cause
more problems.
Avalon. a proposed 2(KI-unil
apartment project slated to be
built off Route 3A, has also
Ken seeking a sewer solution
and began talking with Hull
about the prospect of purchasing
capacity. If Avalon was able to
secure a connection to Hull, its
pipes would be laid down Route
3 A and the Cook Estate pipes
could potentially run down
Sohier -Street and connect to
them. However, the Sewer
Commission has not been
receptive to allowing Avalon to
open the road to install the
pipes. Now. to allow the Cix>k
Estate a connection to the Hull
plant and allow it to open the
streets would surely mean the
Avalon lawyers would have .1
strong argument against the
town. •The Sewer Commission
would gel crucified." said
Selectman Rob Spollord.
McMorris said a few years
ago. she met with Town
Manager Mark Haddad and Dan
Coughlin of Tutela Engineering
lo discuss ihe prospect of build-
ing senior housing on the Cook
Estate property . She said at that
lime, the possibility of building
Ml units was floated, as well as
running a pipe through the I tea
Hill school and down lo
Evergreen Lane.
"I hate to be the
skunk at the
garden party, but
this doesn't seem
to be going
"Thai was probably before
•\valon said il had room for 200
units." said Sewer Commission
Chairman Raymond
KasperowicZi
Dormitzer reiterated the
importance of the town's hav ing
a contingency plan with a small-
er project as the second of two
options, which could accommo-
date for sewer on-site and
wouldn't affect any olher pro-
jects in town.
"We don't have lhal option."
said McMorris.
Selectman Chairman Michael
Sullivan said the Cook Estate
will not impact other projects
and said. "You're giving Ihe
community the project thev
voted for"
"And worked for." said
McMorris.
However. Koed said regard-
less of what the board would
like to see in terms of waste
water solutions. "Town Meeting
would have 10 approve it and
we've got nothing on the
Warrant."
"Then why didn't you draft
one and bring il in?" asked
McMorris.
Koed said the boaro stood up
at Town Meeting and told the
public there would be no sewer
connection necessary for the
project, "It's like bait and
switch."
"Il is not like bail and swiich.
Don't put us in a position like
this." said Sullivan. "You're
lalking about this like you're
someone w ho just came on the
scene."
"Where have you been the
past year.'" asked Sullivan.
"The question was asked do
you need sewer?" said Koed.
adding Ihe public was told no.
and dial's line, bui he thinks
Town Meeting should decide
whether il would still like to
support the project if It is seek-
ing a sewer connection.
"I think ihe reason il was
pulled was because you didn't
think the votes would be there."
said Koed.
"You're unbelievable." said
Sullivan.
Advisory Committee
Chairman Donna McGee said
she was ai a meeting w here the
town held negotiations with the
Cook Estate heirs and said she
believes if ihe community
examines all possible options
lor ihe project and determines
what if any viable opportunities
it has and brings lhal informa-
tion back to Ihe heirs, she
believes they would have that
discussion. "1 believe they
would talk if we've Looked at
everv option, pros. cons, and
all." she said. However. McGee
said exploring every option will
mean considering a Hull con-
nection at full plan size as well
as the possibility of downsizing
ihe project lo accommodate an
on-site system.
"But, do we say there's a
v iable option, bin we Can't do it
because it'll allow another pro-
ject in?" asked McMorris.
"I don't think they care." said
Dormitzer, as ihe deal w ith the
Cook heirs is a business deal
and any problems the tow n has
aren't their concern.
Koed said in his opinion,
downsizing the project should
he considered, but the town will
need lo know just how much the
soils can accommodate. He said
because a decrease in the si/e of
the project will yield less funds,
the town may want to look ai
private fund-raising. "We buili
the library with town funds." he
said. "I'm trying to be creative
to save the project."
"If you think Ihe project can
be saved, what do we do?"
asked McMorris.
"I don'i know. I just don't
believe it's the only option the
way it's constructed right now,"
said Koed. adding the town
needs a contingency plan. "I
hate to be Ihe skunk at the gar-
den party, but this doesn't seem
lo be going anywhere."
McMorris floated a molion
which asked each member of
the Board of Selectmen to com-
mit to Ihe Cook Estate, the
"town's project." and ask Town
Manager Bill Griffin lo begin
discussing the purchase of
capacity wifh the town of Hull.
Koed suggested amending the
motion to include also looking
into alternate projects as a con-
tingency plan lo what has
already been proposed.
However, Spofford said in his
view, asking Griffin lo begin
negotiating with Hull
supercedes Ihe Sewer
Commission's role and he
thinks ii is bad public policy for
ihe board to overreach like lhal.
He said he would amend Ihe
moiion to allow the Sewer
Commission to begin discus-
sions rather than Griffin.
"Everybody's hoi lo go to
Hull." said Kasperowicz, bul he
reminded the board running the
pipe down 3A will open up the
lines to everyone who lives in
from of il. "This is sieroid-
induced growth, it's not natural
growth." he said, which is
extremely hard to plan for.
Roger Hill of Highland
Avenue owns 166 Chief Justice
dishing Highway, the building
which houses Good Sport and
ihe Pi/za Zone, and said if ihe
pipe goes to Hull. "I'll be ihe
tirsl standing in line lo hook my
building up." and he expects
many others would follow. He
added there are roughly UK)
acres of property which could
be developed on the opposite
side of .3 A and if a sewer con-
nection becomes available. "It
would open an enormous can of
worms." he said. "It needs lo go
back lo Town Meeting. It's cru-
cial."
The board agreed lo form a
committee, including Advisory
Committee Chairman Donna
McGee, Selectmen Ralph
Dormitzer and Ronnie
McMorris. Senior Housing
Committee member Joe
Nedrow. Sewer Commission
Chairman Ray Kasperowicz,
Town Manager Bill Griffin, and
Town Counsel. to work

Town Census forms due
The Town Census for 2005 has
been mailed to each household.
Information obtained from the cen-
sus is ultimately used to prepare the
street list, annual registry of voters,
school list, dog owner list, and jury
list. It also establishes eligibility for
resident's tuition slate colleges, for
veteran reimbursement, for senior
citizen programs and other bene-
fits. The census provides valuable
information to various departments
throughout the town.
Dog forms are on a tear off por-
tion of the census forms. The
licenses are valid through Dec. 3 1 .
2005. Dog forms need lo be
returned as soon as possible
although you may have recently
renewed your 2004 license. If you
did not receive your census, call
Ihe Town Clerk's Office at 781-
383-4100.
ZBA expected to rule
against Avalon on
town sewer access
FROM AVALON. PAGE 1
150.000 gallons of wastewater
per day. Therefore, any existing
capacity needs to be reserved in
the eventuality a plant expansion
cannot completely accommodate
thai project, he said.
Bobrowski said Avalon has
"jumped in the middle when the
final picture is not drawn."
"Avalon is coming to us in the
middle of the game," said
Bobrowski. quoting what Sewer
Commission Chairman Ray
Kasperowicz said during Ihe
public hearing. "What if Little
Harbor takes more than 150.000
gallons per day capacity? Do we
ask Avalon for the capacity
back?'
Avalon expects to generate
roughly 22.000 gallons of waste-
water per day.
The ZBA expects that Avalon
will appeal ils denial of access to
sewer capacity to ihe Housing
Appeals Committee, the slate
arbiter on 40B project disputes.
The ZBA granled Avalon a com-
prehensive permit with condi-
tions roughly 15 months ago
under 40- B. the state affordable
housing law.
Conditions included Avalon 's
obtaining a ground waier dis-
charge permit from the state
Department of Environmental
Protection for its on-site system.
But the Water Commission has
appealed Ihe ZBA's issuance of a
comprehensive permit because il
believes Avalon 's on-site system
could pollute Lily Pond, the
town's drinking water supply.
Thai appeal is still tied up in
court
Subsequently, the ZBA granled
Avalon a modification to its
comprehensive permit for sewer
access subject to available capac-
ity as determined by the Sewer
Commission or a court of com-
peieni jurisdiction
The town has also noi been
receptive to allowing Avalon and
other private projects lo h<x>k up
to Hull's treatment plant. Hull
has excess capacity lo sell.
During Monday's delibera-
tions, Chittick voiced whal
Avalon's likely argument would
be before the Housing Appeals
Committee. He reiterated whal
Avalon attorney. Steve Sch warty,
has said, that the town - which
has little affordable housing —
has thrown up roadblocks to
Avalon's efforts to find a way to
dispose of ils wastewater as a
way to prevent the development.
If the Housing Appeals
Commiltee rules for Avalon. then
the ZBA could appeal that deci-
sion to Superior Court. The
Sewer Commission can present
evidence to the Housing Appeals
Committee but it cannot be a
party lo the appeal, the ZBA said.

The Quill Show al the Second Congivgtilional Church draws people limn all over the South
Shore and bey ond.
Annual Quilt Show benefits charities
For most of us. springtime
can't arrive soon enough. But a
taste of spring always arrives a
little early with Cohasset's
Annual Quilt Show and
Luncheon, the first Saturday in
March.
"When the idea of a small quilt
show and elegant luncheon came
to mind, we thought it would be
|nsi a one-time, cheerful way lo
s|iend a March Saturday." says
Carol Sandblotn. one ol" the
event's original organizers. "It
was not intended to be a
fundraiser, but ... if we made a
little money, it would go lo char-
ity. We must have struck a chord:
over the past 1 2 years we've
shown f>5() quilts and donated
over $14,000 to charity."
This year, more than 60 quills
will he on display al the Second
Congregational Church in
Cohasset from 10:30 a.m. to 2
p.m.. Saturday. March 5. Tickets
are just SI0 each and include a
sit-down luncheon where volun-
teer waiters serve homemade
strata, salads and a selection of
desserts.
"It's realty a fun
way to spend a
Saturday."
— Carol Sandblom.
Quill Show
"We decorate tlie lables with
linens and beautiful flowers to
help bung a hint of spring to the
midst of winter." Sandblom
added "li s ivallv a fun way lo
spend a Saturday."
The quilts displayed come
from all over the South Shore
and beyond. And each quill has
its own story which is shared in
the show's program. This v car's
show includes an antique quill
dating back io IXX5 which lea
lures line embmidery stitching
on salins. silks and velvets.
Cohasset resident Beisy
Millard describes her
"Grandchildren in Stitches" quill
as a sampler of SOUS. Inspired by
a photo she had taken of her

Beloved pediatrician will be missed
FROM SCEERY. PAGE 1
What many may not know is
Sceery, after completing his
undergraduate studies at
Harvard, served as a communi-
cations officer in the Navy from
1943-1946.
"I was in the first LST
(Landing Ship Tank) to land on
Utah Beach on D-Day." Sceery
said in the 1995 interview. "We
discharged the Army and then
had to wait for the tide to get
back in.
"Fortunately there was a big
cliff opposite where we landed
and the German guns were not
suppressed enough so all the
missiles landed astern."
The Gl Bill made it possible
for Sceery to attend medical
school at Yale where his mentor
encouraged him to go into pedi-
atrics. He completed his resi-
dency at Massachusetts
Cieneral Hospital. There he met
Dr. Leroy Eldredge. who a year
ahead of Sceery. had started a
pediatrics practice in Hingham
and persuaded Sceery to come
to the South Shore. Eldredge's
urging and the appeal of
Cohasset brought the Sceerys
to town.
But as a young doctor in a
new town. Sceery wasn't sure
how quickly he'd gain accep-
tance.
"My first patient called on
July 4. 1953 and I had to leave
a party where people were try-
ing to introduce me," he
recalled. "The child had a high
fever with no other signs. So I
said it was roseola and he'd
have a rash for three days.
"Then I sweated for three
days until I was sure I was
right."
Eldredge described Sceery as
a "great pediatrician, who was
very much loved by kids and
parents."
He said even though Sceery 's
health was failing over the past
year, his mind was as sharp as
ever. "His body was giving him
all kinds of problems, but his
mind was flying," Eldredge
says.
Eldredge lakes pride in play-
ing a role in persuading the
Sceerys to come to Cohasset
back when baby-boomers were
being bom and there weren't
enough pediatricians. "We were
so busy at the time with all the
kids being born - it was a mad-
house!" Eldredge says. "But he
loved the water, so it was a
good fit all around."
Jean Thompson of Reservoir
Road worked with Sceery over
25 years: 10 years as a school
nurse and 15 in his office.
"But we go back 50 years,"
Thompson said this week. "We
moved to town in 1955, my son
was ill and I knew I had to find
a doctor and I found Dr. Sceery .
who look care of my children
and then my grandchildren.
"I can't say enough good
things about him he was ver\
caring, very compassionate,'
she said. "When he brought the
child and mother into his office
- it wasn't just about the child
He'd ask how everyone else
was doing."
Thompson and her two sons,
Douglas and Robert Jr.. have
written a letter to the Sceery
family, thai reads in part. Dr.
Sceery forever left Cohasset a
belter pace for his years of ser-
vice and his countless acts Ol
kindness. He had that rare com-
bination of skill, instinct and
compassion thai made he the
very best of physicians."
Sceery operated his practice
at three locations - 109 N
Main St., 89 Ripley road, and
95 Atlantic Ave. He also served
as the school doctor for more
than 40 years. He was also a
long-lime member of the Board
of Health and an outspoken
advocate for worthy causes al
Town Meeting. The Sceerys
have six children and 17 grand-
children.
Ed Lincoln met Sceerv the
way so many parents did.
through their children.
"After our firsi child was
born, he had just moved to
Cohasset and lived around the
corner." Lincoln recalled
"We've known him and I'hoebe
ever since - it was the begin-
ning of a long friendship."
Lincoln said Sceery was not
only the family's pediatrician
but he would also come over to
give advice or fill oui u pre-
scription if Lincoln or his wile.
Dr Robert Sc-eery. who passed away tost Friday after more than 41) yean as a pediutrh ion
town, lakes care <>l one ot itis grandchildren.
■Catherine ("Kay"), were under
ihe weather. He said Sceery
kepi up his medical knowledge
evening making rounds al
Massachusetts General
Hospital up lo a year ago - and
in walker, no less.
Not onlv was Sceery compas-
sionate and kind, he was highly
skilled and had great instincts
During his "retirement" recep-
tion back in September 1997.
some of Sceery 's former
patients stopped b> to saj hello.
One such fanner patient was
Mark Cigrino. who at age 7. was
diagnosed wilh polio by Sceery
"The oiher doclors ihoughl il
was impossible because I had
been given ihe vaccine."
Cigrino recalled in ihe 1997
interview. "But it turns out thai
Dr. Sceery was right after all and
because of earlv detection and
proper treatment, I was able lo
walk."
Sceery "s son Michael, who
lives on Atlantic Avenue, said

More on merit pay for teachers
TO THE Ediiok:
I read with great interesi Pal McCirail and
Ed Leonard's response in my commentary
(Cohassei Mariner, Feb. IX) on merit pay. Il
would be equally valuable lo have the School
Committee negotiating team share its
thoughis.
Pal and Ed are accuralc in saying that the
performance of the Cohassei School District
is in the lop 5 percent ol the Slate. Il is also
Due that 20 years ago. Cohassei real estate
taxes were in the mid-range . 'I Massachusetts
Communities whereas we are now in the lop
3 percent largely driven by disproportionate
increases in school operating costs.
As I noted in my initial commentary.
Cohassei should leverage ils small Schml
District wilh a high achiev ing sludenl body lo
contain costs. The Boston Patriots are a
Dy nasty'' and yel their payroll was 24ln out
of 32 teams when il won Super Bowl
XXXIX!
I am absolutely certain thai if you trans-
ferred Cohasset leathers lo Brocklon.
Boston. Ly nn. Salem or many other commu-
nities; they would not be realizing near Ihe
performance levels thai they are in Cohassei.
We all know that Cohassei Student! are
strongly motivated by the very upwardly
mobile families thai reside in Town.
Pat and Ed spoke of an average salary of.
$60,000 in other top performing school dis-
tricts versus $50,448 for Cohasset. Of course
those numbers aren't meaningful w ithout fur-
ther dissection of seniority levels, fringe ben-
efits el al. However, for calendar year 2003
yourt Pal/Ed) average salary was $69,927 and
neither of you have ever functioned under a
merit system. For calendar year 2003. there
were 55 administrators and teachers in this
small School District who earned more than
S60.000. Not bad for a year punctuated with
vacations and the summer oil; or. about a
IH5-day work year versus about 220 longer-
days in the private sector.
What Pal and Ed will never agree to is to
have different rates of compensation for out-
standing versus average and mediocre teach-
ers. I have no problem with an outstanding
teacher like Tom O'NeilKforeign languages)
being paid 20 or 30percent above those with
similar seniority. I do have trouble with
mediocre leachers being paid ihe same as
outstanding teachers. In fact, it should be
made much simpler to tire them.
I also believe that market forces should
influence compensation. If it is difficult to
attract foreign language, math and science
leachers; the administration should be able to
offer them greater compensation while
reducing compensation for disciplines that
may be glutted. As a starting point, why don't
the negotiators consider accelerating the
advancement of 20percent of the faculty
while slowing the advancement of the bot-
tom 20pereentof performers?

HEALTH NOTES
Cohasset train station needs pedestrian access
Recently, there have been two dramatic
wakeup calls to some of us on ihe Board of
Health about Ihe stale which we've reached
with regard lo gelling around.
First there was a consensus recently to
move Ihe Cohassei MBTA station out of
Tow n, a good ihing. if one considered he had
10 drive to it
The second was that someone seriously
proposed running a shuttle lo the waterfront
from the Common if during the Festival on
the Common in June there was to be an
event of any importance on our waterfront.
Now really, is it necessary to bus people a
thousand feet from Town center lo the
Cohassei Harbor Inn'.' The second example-
is unthinkable to any reasonable person.
But having the MBTA (T) station up by the
cemetery near North Main street, what about
that?
Unfortunately, the current design of the (T(
station in Cohasset has no pedestrian access.
Naturally, the Board of Health is opposed to
This discussion with the (T)
about walking represents one
more example of the desperate
neea ror people to cnange
habits of a lifetime and get back
freedom from the bondage
of the convenient car.
such a plan. As you may know, the Board
sought and received Community
Preservation funds lo design a Rails With
Trails pathway along pans of the (T) right-
of-way. In many places. Ihe (T) has agreed
with ihe plan. Further, they planned pedes-
trian access from Hingham lo the Cohassei
Station, and from the Cohassei Station lo
Wompaluck Park, and even planned to pay
for building these amenities.
In December of 2003. Paul Smith of Alta
Planning and Design, the Town's contractor
for Rails with Trails under the Community
Preservation grant, reported to the Board of
Health his final technical assessment, staling
among other things: "On Dec. 3, 1 forward-
ed a summary of our initial analysis for the
rail-with-trail feasibility study.
The MBTA's plans include a sidewalk on
the south side of the railroad right-of-way
(ROW) leading from the Cohasset Station
into Hingham connecting to an existing side-
walk on the south side of East Street. The
new sidewalk will be offset from the railroad
cenlerline by about 20 feet.
"A similar facility should be considered
linking the Cohasset Station into Cohassei.
There are three optioas in the segment from
Cohasset Station to Avenue Extension

Our record speaks for itself
COMMENTARY
Paul DeRfnsk
Lei us set the record straighl regarding a series of
unpleasant letters-to-the-editor in the Cohasset
Mariner making reference to Town Counsel.
1 . Perhaps the writers of Letters to the Editor do
not know that Town Counsel is not a policy maker:
we provide advice, and we implement the instruc-
tions we are given. Those unhappy with the success
we have achieved while implementing instructions
we are given are "shooting the messenger" when
their ire is directed at Town Counsel. Does it make
sense for unhappy letter writers lash out at the men
and women serving in Iraq because they believe our
Nation shouldn't be in Iraq? If you are opposed to
the goals of the work we are doing, then act to
change the instructions given to us to carry out.
2. At the request of the Sewer Commission, we
have successfully defended Sewer Commission
decisions to deny connections to a variety of devel-
opers who have sued the Town to force such con-
nections. How our compliance with instructions and
our winning such lawsuits for the town somehow
means, as suggested in a recent Letter to the Editor,
that we are to be thrown in and lumped with officials
that are alleged to be "pro development" is beyond
comprehension. Our record speaks for itself.
3. We. as advisor to Town Meeting, have been
criticized for reporting that the proposed Little
Harbor article was not a legal article. The Town
Moderator writes in his Letter to the Editor that he
informed proponents at town meeting that "the
motion was in all likelihood legally ineffective." We
agree with the Moderator because he is saying in
essence the same thing we said at town meeting just
using different words, and at town meeting we
offered a revised version of the article that would
openly clearly state that the motion, to use the
Moderator's word, was "aspirational" and not
enforceable. Never, however, did we advise, belittle
or otherwise recommend the conclusion that the
non- legal motion that was voted at town meeting
should be completely ignored. We are
mystified how responsible writers to this newspaper
somehow can confuse an opinion on the lawfulness
of a motion, with the issue of whether or not the
wishes of town meeting should be ignored.
responsible writers to this
newspaper somehow can
confuse an opinion on the
lawfulness of a motion, with the
issue of whether or not the
wishes of town meeting should
be ignored.
3. We wrote a Little Harbor implementation and
funding article for the December special town meet-
ing warrant, which article was, by action of others,
not included on the warrant, and we provided the
language for a revised version of the citizen-spon-
sored Little Harbor motion to give Town Meeting
the comfort of having before it a lawful Little
Harbor motion for the citizen article, all as we were
instructed by the Town Manger to do.
We supplied such a motion to the Town Manager
for him to use as he saw fit in accordance with the
standing instructions to us regarding warrant arti-
cles. We had no idea that our help was controversial
as we provide such assistance with regard to the
warrant and the articles as a whole routinely, and did
not know until Town Meeting was underway
that our revised motion had not been shown to or
discussed with the Town Moderator or the article
proponents. This was a misunderstanding between
the town manager and ourselves, and we apologize
to those upset members of CEES for that misunder-
standing — we thought such consultation was being
done by others and we were only trying to help.
4, We are mystified at the false charge of "games-
manship" at town meeting, when in fact we did
arrive at town meeting on time, we did return all
telephone calls that we are aware of. we did comply
with all instructions given to us. Although we are
accused of "twice at Town Meeting |he] declined to
proffer opinion to the meeting", in fact exactly the
opposite happened: to the contrary, we spoke twice
to town meeting to explain our reasoning on
the Little Harbor citizen article and to offer a more
lawful version of the motion should it serve the
town.
5. We fail to understand the writers of Letters
who blast us for defending the Town's performance
of the Second Amended Judgement, condemning
us because we take positions that have the effect of
opposing the payment by the taxpayers of penalties
and fines. However, our instructions have been to do
all we can to avoid financial loss and exposure to the
Town, and so far we have been very successful
in protecting the town. Perhaps rather than criticiz-
ing our defending the town by all lawful means,
instead please consider that our success rate in
accomplishing the instructions given to us should by
any fair standard result in effusive thanks and praise.
We protect the town of Cohasset from harm. We
do not deserve the unpleasantness directed our way
in certain recent letters. We are good at what we do.
and have been very successful at keeping the town
safe.

What would sanity look like to you?
Jim Shbsky
I was at a meeting the other day when someone
sharing used the word "sanity". My mind wandered
off on the topic of sanity and its opposite. I won-
dered. "What would insanity look like to me?" First
I envisioned a couple having a bitter argument, each
attempting to prove themselves right and the other
wrong, and both becoming deeply entrenched in
hostility. Then came an old Hollywood movie
image of a mad person in a straitjacket in an outdat-
ed mental institution, gibbering and drooling.
These thoughts led me to: "What would sanity
look like to me'.1" This proved a remarkably fruitful
question. You might want to think about it yourself
now, before you read on. What would sanity look
like to you?
What came to me was:
• Sanity is when people relate to each other with
love and mutual support, as if each individual is a
vital part of creation.
• Sanity is living a meaningful day-to-day life.
What makes life meaningful? It is when we partici-
pate in life with all our parts — our intellect, our
instincts, our bodies, our soul and our feelings.
When we think deeply and feel deeply.
• Sanity is feeling and experiencing a close, vis-
ceral connection with Earth, with Nature. Why?
Because when you actually feel and experience your
connection, your identity with Earth as your self,
you stop hurting your self, or at least begin the
process of stopping. Stopping hurting yourself is a
sign of sanity.
• Sanity is when people don't destroy the natural
systems that make life possible on Earth. Bluntly
stated, when people don't crap in their own nest.
(Don't you hale when that happens?) For example,
it is now widely accepted, even by President Bush,
that carbon dioxide emissions have already begun
changing global climate, and drastic effects are
How do we move from this
insane lifestyle to a
sustainable one?
anticipated within 25 to 50 years. We now has a
commission, not widely publicized, making plans to
deal with low coastal areas of Massachusetts
becoming permanently submerged.
A society of sane, intelligent people would invent
creative ways to stop this insane behavior. It's pos-
sible. It's good for the economy. Wind turbines,
solar panels, ocean wave generators, sustainable
public transit, green buildings. Smart Growth, . . .
the list is endless. Instead we persist in our insanity
and denial. We act as if we are helpless, powerless,
and stupid. I think I'm living in an insane culture
that thinks it's sane.
• Sanity is when a person thinks, each time they
drive a car. use electricity, or turn up the heat. "I am
CANDIDATES CORNER
now adding more emissions to the atmosphere. I'm
contributing to smog. I'm adding filth to the air I
need to breathe to stay alive." In a sane person, this
would lead to altered behavior. A sane person would
act in their own self-interest, and find ways to live
that sustain Earth's ecosystems. Instead, we keep
doing the same behavior over and over again,
expecting a different outcome. This is one definition
of insanity.
• Sanity is when a person thinks about using toxic
pesticides, herbicides, insecticides, and synthetic
fertilizers and concludes. "No. eventually these tox-
ics will follow the watershed into my drinking water
supply, and I'll be drinking toxic water."
How do we move from this insane lifestyle to a
sustainable one? I don't know. I don't have pat,
ready answers. What I do have is a vision of homes
and workplaces heated by the sun. using electricity
from wind turbines and photovoltaic panels. A
vision of people supporting each other emotionally
and spiritually. People enjoying a blissful connec-
tion with all of Nature. People walking and biking,
riding convenient public transit powered by renew -
able electricity. How do we get there from here? Are
we stuck in that New England conundrum. "You
can't get there from here."?
I believe we have to start with ourselves, one per-
son at a time, by ending denial, with accepting that
our lifestyle is destroying the air. water, soil and
species that keep us alive. Feel the pain of what
we're doing to Earth. Let go of our guilt. Ask for
guidance in moving toward a sustainable life.

Koed announces reelection bid
The days ahead will test Cohasset and its lead-
ership. This will not be easy, but that is precisely
why Selectman Fred Koed has chosen to run
again. Stepping down now, when the going is
tough, is not an option for him.
In over 18 years of public service to the town,
Fred has always acted on a single principle: What
is best for the Town of Cohasset '.' Recently he
analyzed our Town's current situation as follows:
• The past two years have presented chal-
lenges, the outcome of which will significantly
affect the character and direction of our town. I
hope to continue as selectman during this critical
period, continuing to bring commonsense and
the perspective of a lifelong resident to the (able.
Now. more than ever, I believe I can make a dif-
ference.
• Cohasset is divided not only on issues, but
also on the ways we choose to achieve our goals.
We all want to balance budgets; maintain excel-
lence in education: provide affordable housing

for seniors; preserve the character and open
spaces that define Cohasset; protect our water
resources; and plan for and manage develop-
ment. My goal is to represent these separate
interests to the best of my ability while making
sure it is in the best interest of Cohasset resi-
dents.

April 9. 2005.
Fred grew up in Cohasset. moving here in 1961
at the age of 9. and attended Cohasset schools.
He and his wife, Lisa, raised their family in their
home on Pleasant Street. Their daughters Ashley
(22) and Mariel (18) both graduated from the
Cohasset school system.
A systems analyst for the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts, Fred holds a Master of Science
degree in Public Affairs from the John W.
McCormack Institute, and a BA from U Mass
Boston. In 1990. Fred was appointed by the
Governor as Commissioner on the State Board of
Registration of Real Estate Brokers — a position
he continues to hold.
Fred Koed has demonstrated his interest and
abilities in all aspects of Cohasset governance
through the number and variety of boards and
committees upon which he has served: Advisory
Committee (appointed by the Troika. 1983-
1987), Fair Housing Committee (appointed by
Selectmen, 1987-1989). Housing Authority
(appointed by the Governor. 1987- 1 992). Water
Commission (elected. 1994-1997). Selectman
(elected,l999-present).
Fred has served as chair on three boards, the
Advisory Committee (1985-1987). Water
Commission (1994-1997) and Board of
Selectman (2001/2002.) — appointment to three
separate boards by three independent entities rec
ognizes Fred's ability and reflects his leadership
qualities. Election to two offices confirms our
community's belief in his commitment

Rating the
presidents
I guess they're right when they say it's not
what you've done, it's what have you done
lately.
A poll commissioned by Washington
College in Chestertown. Md.. has placed
George Washington no higher than seventh
on the list of greatest presidents, just below
Bill Clinton and George W. Bush.
Boy. if that isn't guaranteed to frost both
Rush Limhuugh and Barbara Streisand in one
fell swix>p. I don't know what is!
It's a popular academic pastime, ranking the
presidents, one that stirs dormant passions in
History 101 and gives members of an older
generation a chance to grimace smugly, shake
their heads and say. These kids . . ."
Usually Abraham Lincoln wins hands down
with Washington or FDR. depending on the
prevailing political wind direction, finishing a
strong second.
Personally, my favorite
presidents never appear
on anyone's list of
the greatest. . .
Abe wins in the Washington College poll,
too, but Ronald Reagan is right behind,
which leads me to believe that "Knute
Rockne, All- American." and "Bedtime for
Bonzo." must ha\e been the most recent dou-
ble feature at the Student Union.
FDR was behind the Clipper in the poll and
Jack Kennedy rounded out the top sis. possi-
bly because his temi lasted less than three
years and he didn't have time to pile up an
impressive list of enemies
I think it was John Collins, the former
mayor of Boston, who recommended to a
friend ol mine that he "enjoy your first day in
office because every thing from here on is
downhill."
Personally, my favorite presidents never
appear on anyone's list of the greatest or if
they do they are far down near the bottom
because, as far as I'm concerned, the critics
are using the w rong criteria.
One of them is John Tyler, who is best
known as the Tyler in "Tippecanoe and Tyler,
Too." the election-winning slogan of William
Henrv Harrison's campaign for the presiden-
cy in 1840.
Tyler had 14 children who lived to maturity,
as they used to say before the day s of incuba-
tors and the Salk vaccine, He had seven
before he became president in 1941 and
seven after he left the office, the last one at
age 70 when his first would have been 45.
Marrying a young wife when the old one
died helped but it's still an accomplishment.
In his later years. Tyler w as elected to the
Confederate House of Representatives from
Virginia but he died before taking his seat.
Another is Warren Harding, who is usually
written off by the pollsters as one of the few
complete duds ever to live in the While
House.
As a senator and w ith the enthusiastic help
of a nubile young lady 30 years his junior, he
managed to conceive a child on a couch in
his senate office and continued to meet her as
president in a 25-square-fbix closet off the
Oval Office.
Harding was also the first black president, if
you believe the handbills that were circulated
during the 1920 campaign by one William
Estabnx)k Chancellor, a professor of econom-
ics, politics, social sciences and white
supremacy at Wooster College.
The story was that Harding's great great
grandfather Amos w as from the West Indies.
It didn't bother Harding. "How do I know?"
he told a reporter. "One of my ancestors may
have jumped the fence."

SAM8R0WNOCNC.COM
Town Meeting is a little more
than one month away, and this
year zoning article hearings are
taking place earlier, lo ensure
voters are well informed and
issues are well vetted to avoid
confusing last-minute changes.
Currently, there are five zoning
articles on the warrant, most of
which have been bn night forth
by residents as citizens' petitions,
as a way to help meet the goals of
the Master Plan, specifically by
helping maintain the character of
the town.
While each is still a work in
progress, some will lixik familiar,
as they have previously been pre-
sented to the public in various
incarnations.
The Demolition Delay bylaw
was withdrawn at last year's
Annual Town Meeting, but has
undergone some changes and is
back in the form of a citizen's
petition as well as an article spon-
sored by the Historical
Commission. The two will most
likely combine before the
Warrant is printed, as they serve
the same purpose - to protect and
preserve buildings of signifi-
cance. The bylaw would put
plans to demolish a Structure on
hold for six months to allow time
to consider whether a building
can be restored and see what
other alternatives lo demolition
are available.
Specifically, all buildings
w hich are listed on the National
Register of Historic places, the
Massachusetts Stale Register of
Historic Places, and "HT' or
town of Cohasset Heritage Trail
houses would be subject lo ihe
bylaw, as well as buildings 100
years or more which have either
architectural, cultural, economic,
political, or historical signifi-
cance. The bylaw has been
changed from encompassing
buildings 50 years or older to
buildings 100 years or older from
last year's version. In addition,
this year's article has been pre-
sented as a zoning bylaw rather
than a non-zoning bylaw, which
will allow the Building Inspector
lo enforce it by withholding
demolition permits.
"It is just a delay, it is not a pro-
hibition," said Tom Callahan, one
of the proponents of the article,
adding the hope is that during Ihe
six-month delay period, a solu-
tion will be found to save the
building. If not. M least the abut-
ters were notified of any major
changes prior lo ihe demolition.
The bylaw will apply to any
buildings thai meet the criteria
meaning commercial buildings
are subject to the bylaw as well.
Callahan said it is important to
keep in mind, just because a
building is more than 100 years
old does not mean it will be sub-
ject to the bylaw, as it must be of
historical significance.
The Large Home Site Plan
review, which was passed by vot-
ers at last year's Annual Town
Meeting, last year will come
before voters again lor an
amendment, which will "give it
more teeth." said Mark
DeGiacomo. one ot the propo-
nents of the article.
The large house review is trig-
gered when construction plans
for a home exceed the greater of
3,500 square feel or 10 percent of
the lot area up to 6,000 square
feel Plans under Ihe bylaw must
take abutters into consideration,
as well as the surrounding neigh-
borhood.
Currently, plans for large
homes musi come before the
Planning Board for a public hear-
ing process However, the
Planning Board currently only
facilitates a discussion which
ensures abutters are informed of
plans for the large home.
The new bylaw would require
large homes lo receive a special
permit mm ihe Planning Board.
Currently the process is highly
discretionary and the new special
permit process would have a set
of criteria for the Planning Board
to fbllOW,
The large house site plan
review bylaw was originally
drafted to help avoid situations
like 3 Jerusalem Lane from hap-
pening again, by giving notice to
abutters prior to construction.
Demolishing an existing home al
3 Jerusalem Lane and replacing it
with a Structure three times its
si/e caused an uproar in town
that lasted months.
Another bylaw being proposed
as a result of 3 Jerusalem Lane is
a new construction by law. The
bylaw would require a hearing
any lime there are plans for
enlargement of a Structure on a
non-conforming lot.
The Earth Removal bylaw has
been written lo "bring back ledge
protection in another form," dur-
ing construction. said
DeGiacomo. He said removal,
addition, or moving around of
earth can be a real issue when
construction is taking place, and
this bylaw would set the thresh-
old for what can and cannot be
done "We're not trying to regu-
late what you do on your lot"
said DeGiacomo, but it will prj>-
vide a broad set of criteria for
land alteration.
The Scenic Road Bylaw would
he another by law lo protect the
town's character by providing
protection to stone walls and
trees located on roads designated
as being scenie. DeGiacomo
said often residents believe their
property lines extend lo Ihe street
and can therefore make alter-
ations, hul lhat is nol Ihe case,
and the land is often owned by
the town.
By designating roads as scenic
roads, a public hearing process
would he put in motion if a resi-
dent would like to make any
changes on thai property. The
bylaw, if passed, would not des-
ignate any roads as being scenic
at this time, but would begin the
process which would one day
allow the town to make those dis-
tinctions.
The Planning BoanJ will con-
tinue its public hearings on the
articles March 2. except for the
Demolition Delay bylaw which
will be taken up Munh 9. The
articles will also he presented to
the Board of Selectmen in the
coming weeks.

Cohasset train station
needs pedestrian access
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
FROM HEALTH NOTES, PAGE 8
'] construct u path along North
Main Street
The MBTA plans show signif-
icant wetlands on the south side
Of the railroad ROW between
Cohasset Station and Avenue
Extension (King Street) which
may preclude constructing a path
here. The Board of Health stated
lhat wetlands along North Main
Street probably would preclude
construction of a path or side-
walk there as well. At the
moment there appears to be
potential for locating the path on
the mirth side of the railroad
HOW
"Also, we suggest lhat the
MBTA construct a pedestrian
crossing of the railroad as part of
the Cohasset Station Access
Koad grade crossing. This would
allow pedestrians to access North
Main Street where they are
allowed to walk along the road-
way shoulder. In addition the
Crossing would connect to side-
walk or path leading to Avenue
Extension."
Lam when Tom Gruber and
Mark Brennan. Ombudsmen for
the Town, studied the plans, they
lound lhat the (T) was going to
construct a maintenance road
along the north side of the tracks
the whole distance from the (T)
station to King Street. Such a
road cculd be used by pedestn-
uns to conned sidewalks of (he
Town at King. North Main. Ave.
and the rest of the Town to the
North Cohasset (T) station. The
roadway would be 25 feet wide
but, as plans now stand, it would
be fenced to prevenl public
access. To change the roadway to
public use would require relocat-
ing an existing planned fence to
the South side of the mainte-
nance road and creation of a des-
ignated pathway along the north
side of the maintenance road.
The separation between the
tracks and (he path would be (he
same 20 feel width planned for
pedestrian access from Hingham
to the Cohasset (T) station.
This discussion with the (Tl
about walking represents one
more example Of the desperate
need for people lo change habils
of a lifetime and gel back their
freedom from the bondage of Ihe
convenient car. There's a g<xxl
reason! Cars kill more than
.TO.IIOO people annually in acci-
dents; more, if you count gener-
ally poorer health of those who
don'l walk enough. Forbidding
pedestrian access to ihe Cohasset
(T) station will reduce ridership.
and deprive the an estimated 211
percent of those riding on ihe (T),
Ihe means ihey would ordinarily
choose, to access Ihe station.. By
approving plans for pedestrian
access, [he (Tl is . in a small way.
reducing dependence on cars
and signaling lhai they favor
healthy habils for Cohasset and
their other nder communities.

FROM LETTERS. PAGE 8
rticnois noaa writers
were on the mark
TO THE EDITOR:
In a Commentary in the Feb.
II. 2005 Cohasset Mariner, two
Nichols Road contributors to an
earlier issue of the Mariner were
called wrong for asserting thai
the lown of Cohasset has failed
to fulfill ils legal obligations
under ihe Second Amended Final
Judgement (SAFJ). It does nol
seem thai Ihe IX-partmenl of
Environmental Protection (DEP)
would agree with the
Commentary.
In ;i letter lo the Chairman of
Board of Selectmen dated Dec.
22. 2004. Ihe DEP stales lhal
Cohasset has not implemented
the Waste Water Management
Plan as required by the SAFJ and
further comments on what in
their view are Ihe town's woeful-
ly inadequate efforts to imple-
ment the Waste Water
Management Plan. It goes on to
state that The Department is
prepared to lake whatever action
it deems necessary and appropri-
ate to bring the town into compli-
ance with Ihe Second Amended
Final Judgment, including by
assessing civil penalties."
In their letter, the DEP called
for a meeting on Jan. 21. 2005
with representatives of the town
and the Attorney General's
Office the purpose of which was
to discuss modifying the Second
Amendment Final Judgment to
include the schedule for sewer-
ing of Utile Harbor and to dis-
cuss the town's penalty liability.
I would say thai Ihe Nichols
Road contributors had it right.

All the hard work and long
days in the wrestling room
paid the ultimate dividends
last weekend at laconic
Regional High School in
Pittsfield, Torin Sweeney was
a proud coach afterw ards.
"'That's just awesome, to win
it as a team." he said. "It
shows that our program is at a
whole new level."
Sweeney said his team was
confident going in that some-
thing special could happen.
"If we wrestled to the best of
our ability, and things worked
out well, we knew we could
win or at least be in it." he
said.
Matt Casey - one of six.
seniors on the team, along with
Kehoe. Matt Raroudi.
Jonathan Littauer. Kevin
Dinsmore and Colin Regan
said earlier this week it was a
measure of pride for the
seniors to go out on top.
"It's good to be the first ones
to win a team title." Casey
said. "We've worked hard
together for four years."
Cohasset earned 128.5 team
points, with Foxboro coming
in second with 116. The next
three were Mount Greylock
(105). Duxbury (85) and
Mansfield (83).
After winning a title last year
at 140. Kehoe competed three
weight classes higher this year
and won his second straight
state title, the first athlete in
Cohasset history to do so.
"It's really impressive to do
that, no matter what classes

you re competing in,
Sweeney said.
In the semifinals, Kehoe
defeated last year's stale
champ from the 152-pound
division. That match was a
nail-biting 6-5 decision.
The finals weren't nearly as
close, as Kehoe took a 9-1
decision over Winchester's
Adam Fiorenza.
In the 140-pound division.
Dorian defeated Rockland's
Jackie Erickson in the final:
the same Erickson who had
beaten Dorian at the sectional
finals. Sweeney said he and
assistant coach Peter Buckley
suggested some minor tactical
changes in the way Dorian
approached his Rockland
opponent, and it worked to
perfection in a 5-3 decision in
the slate final.
"Shane executed it to a T."
Sweeney said. "He did exactly
what we wanted him to do. He
hud a different approach on the
mat and how he attacked him."
Dorian said this week it was
a goal of his to get revenge on
Erickson.
"It was nice to get some clo-
sure for the year." Dorian said.
'"I wanted to redeem myself."
The number- 2 seed in the
1 45 -pound weight class.
McKenna defeated the first
seed in the final. The match
was tied at two in the third
period, but McKenna took
down his opponent with about
30 seconds left and rode him
out for the victory.
McKenna had been hurt for a
good part of the year, but has
truly rounded into top form.
The junior's competitive side
almost got the best of him dur-
ing December's Marshfield
tournament, where he wanted
to wrestle through his injury.

The Patriots have Belichick.
The Red Sox have Fruncona.
And the Lady Skippers have
Levangie.
What do all three men have in
common'.' A keen ability to both
motivate their players and earn
their respect.
John Levangie expected the
graduation of 2004 would lead to
tome signjficani boles In his
2004-2003 sqiiad. After all. he
lost the outside shooting of Jen
Buckley and the height of
Ashley Faber.
So he set out to redesign the
game plan with only five return-
ing \ursity players.
Like Belichick and Francona.
Levangie played the card dealt to
him.
He also relied on his able asfjs
tarns Kay Long. Matt Salerno
and his son. Jack Levangie to
cam out many of the details. He
cast his players in different posi-
tions. He re- Wrote his tactics in

the face of unanticipated
injuries
When the bell rang at the end
of the regular 2004-2005 season,
John Levangie 's Kant had post
ed a very impressive 12-X
record Few other coaches can
hold a candle to Levangie 's abil-
ity to motivate high school ath-
letes
So the Lady Skippers sail into
the playoffs for the second year
in a tDW. And it is no accident
that 2004-2005 icpresents
l.evangie's second year in
Cohasset as well The beginning
of a "dynasty"? Who can predict
where this journey will lake us .'
The Lady Skippers have now
officially entered the crunch lime
of tournament play. They carry
with them the momentum
gained from their last regular
season game, a sweet 47-42 v ic-
tory against Hopedale. Earlier in
the season. Cohasset had lost to
this team.
As reflected bv the tight score,
this contest proved no cake walk
for Cohasset Hopedale 'J unre-
lenting last breaks and quick
defense kept the Skippers on
their toes
Yet. Cobasset's equal!) tough
defense stopped Hopedale from
running up the score beyond
reach. Co-captain Nicole
Whitney shut down Hopedale
point guard Lakia Cowens.
Co-captain Cases Anderson
posted 21 points while Whitney
contributed II. Freshmen Meg
Anderson's confidence at the
point guard position helped the
Skippers keep their composure
Sophomore Lace) Richardson
and junior Katie James did their
part by npping down rebounds
like there w as no tomorrow.
After the Hopedale game
Coach Levangie ordered up a
week of rest. Now the prepara-
tion for the tournament has
swung into high gear.
'To succeed in the postseason,
we need to work as a unit." said
Casey Anderson "We can't
change anything big that we've
been working on in the regular

McKenna and his coach.
McKenna recalled a conversa-

ment with Sweeney.
"Remember what you said to

all about wrestling in
February.' What if I had gone
out there and gol hurt'.'"
Baroudi was aboul a minute
away from making it lour slate
champs on the day. AganiM
Rockland's Dan Bohenek. the
Cohasset senior was ahead 6-5

Sweeney said he was proud
ot the way Casey competed.
"He wrestled a really good
tournament." Sweeney said.
"He's been battling an injury
and wrestling through it. In my
opinion, he was just phenome-
nal. He knew the team title was
on the line and he just kept

Littauer also had a solid tour-

Rounding out those who

Cohasset was sophomore Nick

"That was great for him to get
that experience and get (he

going to help him as his career

The coach says a major key
to the state title has been the

win over Cape Cod on Sunday.
Feb. 13.
After a scoreless first period,
in which the Slars dominated
in the Cape"s zone but couldn't
sneak one past the Cape net-
minder, the Stars came into the
second period ready to roll.
After a handful of shots on
net. Tommy Coyne knocked
one in from behind the net that
trickled off the goalie's pads
across the goal line and in, for
a long-awaited goal. Forward
James Daley tipped the Stars
lead to 2-0 when he barreled in
and stole to puck from a
stunned Cape defenseman and
headed straight for the net and
slammed one in the lower
right-hand corner.
Daley would leave the Cape
defense dizzy again in the
third period. After receiving a
pass from linemates Andrew
Taulkus and Ryan Melia. he
danced around the defenseman
and fired another rocket into
the Cape net. putting the Stars
ahead by three. The Cape fol-
lowed suit, scoring on a break-
away, making it 3-1 Stars.
The Stars kept battling and
their efforts paid off. Coyne,
playing one of his strongest
games of the season, picked up
a loose puck at the blue line
and fed it up to Andrew
Tautkus who fired one in over
the goalie's right shoulder. The
Cape would answer again
before the end of the period,
making the final score 4-2
Stars.
Defensemen Nick Craig,
Tristan Wiggin, RJ Neuls
and Jonathan Gardner kept
the puck away from their goal
for most of the game. Stars
goalie Max Hemmingway
made nine saves to keep his
learn ahead and secure the win.
Stars forwards Seamus
Feeney, Michael McPartlin,
Matthew Tautkus and Liam
Rose kept the pressure on the
Cape in all three periods.
The Coastal Stars Squirt C-4
team defeated the Taunton
Brewins 7-3 on Sunday. Feb. 6
in Bridgewater.
James Daley put the Stars on
top 1-0. firing a wrist shot past
the Brewins goalie 55 seconds
into the first period. Stars
winger Tommy Coyne made it
2-0 Stars with a breakaway
goal mid-way through the
period. Solid position play by
defensemen Liam Rose. RJ
Neuls, Nick Craig and
Jonathan Gardner kept the
Brewins scoreless in the first.
Eighteen seconds into the
second period, the, Brewins
scored to narrow the Stars lead
to 2-1 . The Stars answered the
goal when Gardner rushed the
length of the ice and fired a
wrist shot into the left-hand
corner of the net making it 3-1
Slars. Two minutes later the
Brewins answered making it 3-
2 Stars. Stars goaltender Max
Hemingway made several out-
standing saves, including a
spectacular glove save which
dazzled the crowd.
Stars forwards Michael
McPartlin. Tristan Wiggin,
Ryan Melia and Seamus
Feeney worked their corners
and pressured the Brewins
goalie throughout the third
period. Stars center, Andrew
Tautkus scored the first of his
two goals widening the Stars
lead to 4-2. The Brewins
quickly answered, making it 4-
3 Stars.
Andrew Tautkus struck
again, making it 5-3 Stars. The
score remained this way until
the final minutes of the period,
when Daley scored his second
goal of the game extending the
lead to 6-3. Stars left wing,
Matt Taulkus put the game
away with a wrap-around goal
making the final score 7-3
Stars.
With the win, the Stars
improved their record to 14-2-
2 for the season.
Squirt C-2
The Coastal Stars Squirt C-2
team had a tremendous offen-
sive win over Braintree last
week, 8-1.
Goals were scored by Nale
Morse (two). Mick Barry,
Brendon Queenan, Coleman
Hernon, Jake Kuppens, Jake
Timcoe, and Chris
Bjorkman.
Also worth mentioning was
the excellent passing and assist
by Colin Bell to Bjorkman for
a late game goal. Winger
Ethan Mailer was outstanding
in moving the puck up the
boards several times through-
out the game.
The defensemen were no
"slackers" as the ever-present
Jake Denton, on more than
one occasion, stopped break-
aways and cleared the zone.
Also helping in the defensive
effort were Adam Jackson
and Tim Cavanaro. The
defense was backed up by the
consistent goaitending of Alec
Hurd. Hurd, who was not
tested often, came up big on a
few shots early in the game.
Squirt CI
The Coastal Stars Squirt C-l
team got back on the winning
track with a great win Sunday
over a very tough Hanover 2
team.
The Stars jumped out to an
early 2-0 lead in the first peri-
od with goals from Andrew
Tautkus and Tucker Welch.
Max Montgomery got the
assist on the first goal and
Jack Condon picked up the
assist on the second. B u t
Hanover was not quitting, and
they came storming back early
in the second period with two
quick goals and the game was
tied. Welqh then scored his
second on a nice top corner
shot, lhat had the whole bench
buzzing, Jason Tolman
picked up the assist.
Andrew Tautkus put the
Stars up 4-2 with his second
goal off a Condon feed. The
Stars defensive parings of
Rohbie Bertone, Jason
Tolman, Max Hemmingway
and Brian Craig played out-
standing defense all game.
They had some nice breakout
plays and really covered the
front of their own net.
Netminder Michael Soucey
continues to play outstanding
for the C-l team, coming up
huge with some great saves in
the second half of the game.
Hanover showed why they
are one of the top teams com-
ing up with their third goal half
way through the second peri-
od. But the Stars forwards of
Mark Mcgoldrick and Adam
Haskell were relentless on the
forecheck. creating several
turnovers in the offensive end
lhat ultimately produced
results.
Tucker completed the hat-
trick when he finished off a
nice pass from Bertone. Matt
Tautkus made it 6-3 when he
buried a pass from brother
Andrew and it appeared the
Stars were in good shape to
start the third period. Hanover
would not go quietly though,
as they picked up two quick
ones early in the third and all
of a sudden it was 6-5.
Sam Asnault. Haskell and
McGoldrick continued their
great forechecking work, con-
stantly pressing the Hanover
defense into mistakes.
Then, finally, with approxi-
mately two minutes left, Welch
found himself alone in front of
the net after a nice pass from
McGoldrick and Condon. He
buried the shot in the top right
corner to make it 7-5.
Montgomery and the Taulkus
brothers made sure it stayed
that way with unrelenting
forechecking over the last
minute and a half, not allowing
Hanover out of their end (great
hustle!).
Welch received the game
puck for an outstanding offen-
sive game.
Squirt A
Chris Carpenter scored a
hat trick. Mike Carbone and
Jonathan Spitz added two
goals each, and Jake Durkin
earned four assists as the
Squirt A Coastal Stars skated,
passed, and shot their way to a
9-1 decision over the South
Shore Eagles.
Twenty seconds into the
game. Durkin's shot from the
left side was saved, but Spitz
fired the rebound under the
pads. Carpenter notched his
first with 4:50 left in the first.
Later on, Kevin McDougall
kept the puck in the zone to
Spitz, who found Carpenter on
the left. Carpenter carried in
and fired to an opening on the
left side. Carbone upped the
lead to three with 2:50 left.
Trevor Salmon fed Nell
Conway in the front slot.
Instead of shooting, Conway
fed Carbone at the right post.
and Carbone slammed it home.
Twenty seconds later.
Patrick Burchill stole the
puck and passed to John Ryan
on the right side. Ryan let
loose from inside the right cir-
cle to the back of the net. Jake
Durkin's persistent forecheck-
ing paid dividends with 1:20
left. He gained the puck on tr>e
left board and found Spitz in
front. Spitz' backhander made
it 5-0.
The Eagles scored their lone
goal on a pretty break early \n
the second, but a minute later.
Carpenter won the face-off in
the right circle, skated in front
of the net. and went 5-hole to
reestablish the cushion. The
game turned chippy, and both
teams were called for a series
of penalties, most of them
matching.
With 3:43 left in the second.
DJ Evans passed up the
boards to Durkin. Durkjn
found Carpenter in front, and
Carpenter put the hat trick goal
into the right side. With two
minutes left, Dan LeBlanc got
the puck to Steven
Harrington on the left board.
Harrington took it to the front
of the net and tucked it in for
an 8- 1 lead.
The Stars changed their line-
up, as defensive stalwart EJ
Culhane switched to forward
and Carpenter moved to
defense. Culhane was denied
on a couple of bursts from
right wing. With 2:10 left in a
shortened third period.
Carbone wound through traffic
from the right corner and
scored from the right circle for
the game's final tally.
Connor Maher had a relative-
ly quiet day in net, as the Stars
kept the play in the Eagles' end
with tight forechecking and
strong play at the point by the
defense.
But for some great stops by
the Eagles' goaitending, the
score would have been more
lopsided, as the Stars consis-
tently beat the Eagles to the
puck and alertly passed lo the
open man for shots on net.
Mite B
This team mirrors the World
Champion Patriots: Hard
work, disciplined, unselfish
and unflappable describes a
team of undersized and under-
appreciated players.
This team is firing on all
cylinders going into the final
stretch of the regular season.
Team leader Patrick Graham
kick-started the most current
scoring fesl. At 14:09 of the
first period. Graham won the
face off in the offensive end
and fed the puck to Jeffrey
Powers. Powers then returned
the favor and sent his signature
back-hand pass to Graham,
blasting a one timer past the
out stretched glove of the
Milton goalie.
A late arrival of Tucker
Ambrose cost his Dad $5 in
"kangaroo court" late fees, but
THIS money was well spent.
Ambrose made up for the brief
delay by scoring the next 4
goals in a row. That's not a
typo folks, that's four, count
them, FOUR... 1.2.3.4, goals.
For you hockey purists, that's
a natural hat trick with the
cherry on top.
While Tucker took a breather
on the bench. Brendan Evitts
and Kal Maier scored two
magical goals on assists from
Robert Reidy and Sam Rice,
making the score 7-0. Once
back on the ice, Ambrose
struck again with his fifth goal,
playing at an old recorder
speed of 78 rpm while the
Milton defense was just barely
at 33. Ambrose was assisted on
the nickel goal by Curtis
Golden.
The exclamation point was
the ninth goal scored by Joty
Redfearn. Redfearn blasted a
wrist shot from the right slot
that found the back of the net
in a hurry. Aiden Beresford
got the assist.
Declan Leahy, James
Hussey, Jack Evitts, Matt
Doyle and Bryan Bowman all
played outstanding two-way
hockey to help preserve goalie
Michael Lund's 9-0 shutout.
Lund has a G.A.A. of 1.26 for
the season.

SPECIAL TO THE MARINER
Guests arriving at the
Cohasset Historical Society's
Art Deco fundraiser Saturday
evening (Feb. 12) were greeted
by the Society's two Presidents.
Cathy O'Malley and Paula
Morse against a backdrop of sil-
ver draperies, black velvet
swags and sparking fringes. The
stately interior of the neo-Greek
Revival building, formerly the
Paul Pratt Memorial Library,
had been transformed into a
sleek night space of black-cov-
ered tables arid artful up-lighting
thai emphasized the high ceil-
ings, intricate moldings and cor-
nices of this beloved landmark.

Garrison and Mary Hartshome.
envisioned the evening not only
as a fundraiser, but as an oppor-
tunity to highlight the beautiful
building as a welcoming space
to be accessed and used by the
community.
On this evening, the central
desk in the rotunda, where once
we returned library books,
became a bar from which the
lop-hatted bartender dispensed
cheer instead of reading materi-
al. The former reading room
was transformed into a caft with
dance floor, cocktail tables and a
three-piece jazz combo playing
hits from the '20s and '30s. as
well as more recent dance
music. The large room on the
left displayed a suit of gentle-
man's evening attire, complete
with top hat. and nine beautiful-
ly preserved evening dresses.

Mrs. William C. Cox. All of
these vintage beauties Mom; to

The Society's mission is to
preserve the history of Cohassei
through acquisitions, exhibi-
tions, research. evenLs and pro-
grams on Uical and regional his-
tory. The Society operates three
museums, each of which houses
significant collections of paint-
ings, archives of history and
genealogy, gowns and textiles of
the nineteenth and twentieth
centuries, and maritime artifacts
that reflect Cohasset's seafaring
history. These collections,
which define and celebrate our
traditions as a town, deserve our
generous support.
Guests who came to this
fundraiser had been advised that
"Art Deco attire will be
admired, but not required".
Fashions were eclectic, alluring
and amusing. Some women
chose to follow the black, while
and silver mode of the decor,
and at least one gentleman
arrived in white tie and tails.
Fred Aslaire and Ginger Rogers

The Society thanks all those
who attended and contributed lo

water punncauon
for village in Haiti
The Middle School Youlh
Group at St. Stephen's Episcopal
church is working to raise
enough money to provide a water
purification system for a village
in Haiti. Last spring, the youth
saw a video shared by teens
involved in Caribbean U-Turn. a
Mattapan- based program that
seeks to help troubled Haitian
youth in the Boston area. The
video documented the devastat-
ing conditions in which the
majority of Haitian people live.
Often, walls in housing arc
formed from deteriorating mat-
tresses and fresh, clean water is
unavailable. In a December 2003
article in the South Florida Sun-
Sentinel. Haiti was listed at the
forefront of a global witter crisis.
According to recent studies by
the United Nations. Haiti is
ranked among the worst in the
world lor water supply and qual-
ity. Internationally, 4 million
children die every year from
water-borne diseases such as
cholera and diarrhea, one child
every 8 seconds. As you arc read-
ing this article, children includ
ing Haiiian children are dying
because of inadequate clean
water supply
St. Stephen's Middle School
group is determined to help com-
bat this problem. Our goal is to
raise SHUKX) in order to pur-
chase and send a water purifica-
tion system to a village in Haiti.
Working with Water Missions
International who partners with
the Episcopal Diocese in Haiti
and Partners in Heallh, it is the
group's intent to send a system
next fall.
One of our major fundraisers
will be held on Sunday March
OBITUARIES
Dr. Robert T.
Sceery
Robert T. Sceery. M.D.. 84. of
Cohasset, a pediatrician in the
town for more than 50 years,
died on Feb. 18 at the
Massachusetts General Hospital
of congestive heart failure.
Raised in West Hartford.
Conn., he attended Loomis
Academy followed by Harvard
College where he was a member
of the swim team. Immediately
after the attack on Pearl Harbor,
he enlisted in the US Navy and
became a navigator and officer.
His LST (Landing Ship Tank)
was among the first to land on
Utah Beach in Normandy on D-
Day. June 6, 1944. Later he par-
ticipated in the invasion of south-
em France and the assault on
Okinawa.
After his discharge, he attended
Yale Medical School and then
completed a residency in pedi-
atrics at the Massachusetts
General Hospital where he also
served as Chief Resident. In
1953, at the end of his training,
he moved to Cohasset and estab-
lished his medical practice.
Dr. Sceery treated countless
children and then their children
and grandchildren. As his
patients aged, many kept coming
to him for their medical care. His
practice, though always focused
on pediatrics, expanded to
include many adults and even
senior citizens. For several years.
Dr. Robert T. Sceery
his office was located in his
home where he saw patients
while raising his own growing
family. A quiet, but extremely
confident man, he was the pedia-
trician to his own children and
grandchildren. He continued to
make house calls long after that
practice largely disappeared.
Though he rarely would discuss
it. he always cared for his
patients without regard to their
ability to pay; when HMO's and
health insurance companies
became more involved with
patient care, he focused his atten-
tion on his patient's medical
needs and concerned himself lit-
tle with insurance reimburse-
ment.
In addition, he served on the

It sorta' works out that way with us and the
Country Club Pro Shops: Every year, their customers
are the same people; they're In the shop just about
every week (some every DAY!)... and when golf season
starts up again in the spring, those customers expect to
see all new stuff for sale I
So every October-November, we come to call; and we
offer to buy everything in the shop. And since they all need
cash to re-stock for next year, most of them sell out to us '
pennies on the dollar!

down opportunities for people like me in episodic television. I final-
ly decided it was time to do something to lose the weight, I
waned a chance at new roles 1 had the procedure done L
2002 and within nine months 1 had lost 100 pounds."
And gained a new career as the lead in the national I
show which won (he most Tony Awards in Broadway history. "I'm
not sure I could have done this show at my previous weight These
days, however, 1 have plenty of energy and 1 fed great I have lost
10 more pounds just since I've been playing Max. I call this show a
marathon, because it is a rwo-hour-and-45-mirajle cardio workout"
For audiences and performers alike. "Ifs exhilarating just hear-
ing the audience response. You hear them screaming with laughter,
they arc having such a good time. Mel Brooks is just telling you to
laugh, laugh at the show, laugh at yourself, just laugh. It's funny on
the surface and when you dig deeper, ifs even funnier. Brooks, his
co-writer Thomas Median, and Susan Socman, the director and
choreographer, are geniuses. I love every minute of this show" says
Amaral. "I just wish I could sit in the audience and watch
'Springtime for Hitler' every night."

LISTEN TO YOUR HEART
Take care ol" your heart and it
may help preserve your hearing
as you gel older. That is the
advice of researchers who
found a conneclion between
cardiovascular disease and
reduced functioning of the inner
car in older adults. This link
was most pronounced in women
who had suffered heart attacks.
Women w ith a self-reported his-
tory of cardiovascular disease
were 54% more likely to have
impaired cochlear function than
heart-healthy women, while
those with heart attack histories
were X0°n more likely to have
problems with cochlear func-
tion. The cochlea is Ihe spiral-
shaped organ in the inner ear
that contains hair cells so cru-
cial for hearing. While more
study is needed, it always helps
to preserve Ihe health of your
heart
Whatever the state of their
health, their age, occupation, or
recreational pursuits, our pri-
mary goal at FAMILY HEAR-
ING CARE CENTER is to
help as many people as possible-
improve and protect their hear-
ing. If you have a hearing
impairment, we will help you
find Ihe best solution in order to
open yourself to a higher quali-
ty of life. If you arc concerned
about protecting your hearing,
we'll be glad to give you advice
as to how. Call us al 781-337-
1144. S34 Main Street (Rte.
18), across from the Stetson
Bldg in Weymouth, to arrange
for a free hearing evaluation by
a Board Certified Hearing
Instrument Specialist. We also
have an office in Abington.
P.S. While Ihe study mentioned
above also included men.
researchers are at a loss to
explain why cochlear problems
were so much more common in
women with heart attack histo-
ries.

Mount Snow spokesman Mike
Murphy siiid the golden-anniver-
Sar) season has been designed to
give visitors a stale-of-the-indusiry
ski experience while also high-
lighting the resort's history. This
season, the resort has been holding
an array of on-mountHur activities,
from races and torchlight parades
to parties and sliile shows on local
lore. Inside the main base lodge,
more than 1(11) Miitage black-.tnd-
while photographs trace the history
of the mountain and the people
who've worked there. "The
response has been pretty Fantastic."
Murphy said "So nun) people
have donated memorabilia." The
Vermom State Department of
Tourism has deemed the Mount
Snow st Hh anniversary as one of
the top HI attractions in the state
"People in the area have even put
signs on their law ns." Murphy said.
■"There's a real common interest in
what we're doing."
Indeed, the valley community of
the I Vertield River ( the same over
Hows southward from llie (ireen
Mountains all the way to IXvrtield.
Mass.) has grown along with the
resort; the interdependencv
remains sining. West Dover anil
Wilmington thrive in large part
because of the ski area. More than
30 years ago. Kenneth Cummings
emigrated north from New York
City's Greenwich Village, pur-
chased a modest rooming house al
the intersection of mules y and 1(X)
in Wilmington and turned it into a
restaurant.
Poncho's Wreck has become one
ol the best-known dining and
apres-ski spots in New England ski
country. The restaurant/bar. on two
floors, is festixined with signs,
antiques, cunos and ixklities from
floor to ceiling. The menu covers
as much ground as the decor:
seafood, steaks and burgers.

gry. In turn, the dining crowd is fol-
lowed by the partieis and night-
crawlers who keep ski towns going
half the night a- and all w inter. "We
get both ends of the spectrum."
said Diane Cummings. who has
carried on with Poncho's restaurant
since her husband's death more
than a decade ago. "A lot of fami-
lies, people with kids, who want
lots of food. Then later on. with the
live entertainment, the tide turns."
If anything, her husbiind's legacy
and that of Mount Snow are one
and the some. Cummings said
"We've hod an illustrious history
here, and the ski area has been a big
pan of it." she said. "It 's been very
good 10 us. And in all the year,
through all the changes at the ski
urea. I'd say Poncho's is about 99
percent the sank.-." Another tnvia
fuel: The name of the place was
supposed to be Poncho's
Shipwreck, not just Wreck. "But
w hen Ken went to buy the sign, he
didn't have enough money for all
the letters." Cummings recalled
with a chuckle.

one can ga/e northw ard to a lovely
view of secluded .Somerset

Development al the resort's base
area means there's now a 310-

biick to the area's early years. All
told the valley now is home to
about 10,(1(10 beds, and more than
50 lixlging options. from motels to
rustic -yet-elegant B&Bs. No mat-
ter how the resort evolv es, there's a
feeling within the community thai

has infused it over 50 years.

Pizza's popularity continues to rise
Cohasset has five
establishments
By Mary Ford
MFORO»C NC.COM
Ask people what they think of
Cohasset and among the first
things to come to mind are the
town's rocky ledge and spectac-
ular ocean vistas - not tomato
sauce and pepperoni.
But the truth is. Cohasset
could he on its way to becoming
the pizza capital of the area, if
not the entire South Shore.
With five establishments
whose main specialty is pizza,
the town has roughly one pizze-
ria per 560 households, or one
per 1 ,600 residents
To put that in perspective,
neighboring Set male and
Hingham - both of which have
triple the population of Cobassel
- each have four pizzerias.
The newest pizza places to
come to town are Pizza Zone,
which opened in the former
Atlantic Bagel site off Rte. 3A
five weeks ago, and Good
Fella's on Ripley Road, across
from the post office, which
opened about eight months ago.
They join long-time establish-

Override - yes, but how
much remains a question
Plans for Plymouth Rock
'like' viewing area progress
By Samantha Brown
SAMBR0WNSCNC.COM
Although the school department has not presented
a final budget figure — a Prop. 2-1/2 override is
almost a certainty, officials Say. Preliminary discus-
sions indicate the town could he asked to support a lax
increase of between £350400 and SfitXMXK) ova the
2-1/2 limit.
Currently, a S250.MX) figure has been inmnxmnd
in the budget as a potential circuit breaker Offset. Rial
assumes the state will reimburse ( 'ohassot for 70 per-
cent of its out-of-district special education costs But
the state has not reported what ii will award various
districts.
"If we use the $250,000, we're betting," said Supt
of Schools Denise Walsh.
The state adopted a "circuit-breaker" formula in
June 2003, to help fund oumf-distnet special educa-
tion costs for cities and towns. The previous system,
called "50/50," had the town and slate splitting the
tuition cost paid for private residential special educa-
tion placements.
; Under the circuit breaker system, the slate refunds
tip to 75 pereent over a base amount of S.v2.(XXI for
out-of-district costs. Walsh said the $32,000 is
charged to the school, similar to a deductible' The
$250000 figure assumes 7i) percent reimbursement,
which Walsh said the suae is indicating it will be able
to provide.
i Therefore, if the full amount ol circuit breaker fund-
ing does come in. voters will most likely be asked ti >
support a S350.IXX) override. However, then; is no
guarantee the town will be notified of the amount il
>vill receive prior to the April 2 Tow n Meeting w hen
a final budget figure needs to he presented
Currently, the schools an- presenting a budget
u Inch has is SMXMXX) more than what the low n s.,\ -
it can afford due in large part to an increase m special
education tuition costs. Roughh s:iKt,l«ltl in cuts
have been made since tlic budget was first presented.
However, if the state doesn't grant the- tow n S250.UXI
in circuit breaker money, the school department will
have a SfttXI.IXX) problem on its hands.
Advisory Committee member I'ai Wfaters said
without a check in hand, circuit breaker funding is
speculation.
"You've got lo face the facts, you're asking lor a
SfVX*.(XX> override.'' he said during a joint meeting of
the Advisory Committee and School Committee
Wednesday.
However. School Committee Chairman Kick
Shea said it is important lo note il is not the School
Committee which asks for an override, it is the
town. "We present a budget we think the town will
he able to support." he said The Board ol Selectmen
can only decide whether to put an override question
on the ballot
Shea added w hile there has been talk of potentially
paring Kic k tlx.' lire department or other town services
to help provide funding lor other programs — he
doesn't think am budget can he pared dow n ihis year
enough » mate irp $600,000.
Walsh said there has been a misconception in town
that overrides have become necessary due to out-of-
conlrol spending and bad budgeting practices, but she-
said that is not ihe case She said w ith iIk' amount of
im >ncy tlx- schools need K » spend fa m year lo year, in
a perfect world she would have an additional
S7( 0,000 C\ cry ) ear in I «fer to keep the district mov-
ing forward.

ly basis. The System tS Set tiplorS7()(),<XX)."shesaid.
adding an increase i if 2.5 percent hasn't been em iugh.
In addition, with teachers not Liking any salary
increases ihis year, she said the schools would need
more like swxmxxi or $850,000 next year to help
make up the difference,
Town Manager Dill Griffin said the town has had
perpetual overrides partially because the town has such
a small commercial base. He aid other towns have
been passing overrides, Ihev have jusi ban on a much
larger scale and not as often. He pointed tail ihe town
oi Plymouth just passed a $26 million override, and
Reading has a S4.6 million override On die table, while
( '< tassel has been taking Itsov errides in smaller doses.
"Pus town can't produce the annual revenue it
needs." Griffin said.
However. Advisor, Committee member James
Oilman said he has been doing a lot if research com-
paring Cohassct with Other towns, and he was sur-
prised to I'hkI oul Cohassct brings in more revenue
than Duxbury and a number of other towns.
However. Advistirv Member Vivien Hobo pointed
Out Duxbury also has a senior housing project which
is helping boost the bottom line.
Water- said pulling even thing aside, he said
Cohassel does have the ninth higliest la\ rale in the
stale and "you have a town that is starting to push
heck." He said many residents have shown they are

Part of roundtable

unearthed
By Samantha Brown
SAMBROWNOCNC COM
For roughly six weeks. Tom
Oruber and Mark Brennan have
been serving as the town's
liaisons to the Greenhush pro-
ject. In that short amount of
time, the two have been making
progress on their "to-do" list
and two major issues which
have been causing strife may be
reaching resolutions.
Plans to keep a portion of the
granite railroad turntable foun-
dation permanently unearthed
in the municipal parking lot are
progressing. During excavation
of Ihe parking lot. the former
South Shore Railroad round-
house turntable was exposed,
and the town floated the possi-
bility of keeping pan of it open
The South Shore Railroad
used to come down from
Boston, stopping in Cohasset's
bustling downtown area, and il
was there where ihe turntable
actually turned trains around to
head back north. Later the line-
was extended 10 Scituate. The
MBTA is currently in the
process of reconstructing the
17-mile Greenhush line, which
w hen complete will restore train
service from Scituate to Soulh
Station.
Gruber and Brennan have
been meeting with members of
the Village Rev itali/ation Task
Force as well as ihe Historical
Commission to discuss what ihe
site could look like when com-
plete, if Ihe turntable remains
exposed. Gruber said the
Commission would like lo see
an in-depth permanent histori-
cal site erected, possibly with
signage to explain its signifi-
cance.
"Most people are amazed
People had no idea ii was buried
under there." said Gruber.
adding the site would be akin in
that of Plymouth Rock, wuh a
fenced off area lor v iew mg. I le
added ihe Historical
Commission has agreed to
make sure il is kepi clean inside
Ihe fenced off areas, and the
fence will have a gate to ensure
there is easy access.

"\ order piz/a from my ear on the
way home to Cohasset from Boston
when I know 1 don't have anything al
home to make dinner with. A small
pizza and a Merk* then becomes a
Deal to help me relax after a full day of

salad, extra cheese with sausage and a
great jazz CD and I'm restored again
to en joy my home for the evening"
— Phil Smith
'To paraphrase the Duchess of
Windsor, "pizza can never be too thin
or too crisp!'"
— Nancy (Jarrison
"A pizza is to be judged only on
how close it approximates the taste,
smell, atmosphere, etc. of a New
York pizza. And only an unadulterat-
ed cheese pizza should be the mea-
suring stick. It is very difficult to
explain how a New York pizza is
different but nothing up here truly
matches it"
— Tom Callahan
Trust, content and cost - and who
you eat it with!"
— Murray Campbell
"A great pizza has soft, chevvable
crust, not a soggy bottom crust,
cniinhled sausage, not chunks and
Pepperoni slices more than wafer

A little background on pizza
Tlie following is from the Web
site: Pizza-Pedia.com
• Pizza is consumed all over the
world, though travelers are often
amazed by how different cultures
have adapted pizza to their own
preferences.
• Gennaro Lombardi, an Italian
immigrant opened the first US
pizzeria in 1895 in New York City.
• Italian and Green peasants ate
earlier forms of pizza for several
centuries before it became a hit
among aristocracy. In 1889.
Rafaele F.sposito, a Neapolitan,
prepared pizza for King Umbeno I
and Queen Margherita. who appar-
ently loved it.
• The world's first true pizzeria
may have been Antica Pizzeria
Pun' Alba, which opened in 1830
and is still in business in Naples.
• Before pizzerias became popu
lar. street vendors walked amujid
Naples with small tin stoves on
their heads, calling out to cus-
tomers. This street- vending method
made pizza ever more popular. ;
• Spaniards who had been Jo
Mexico and Peru introduced B/ie
toman to Italy in the 1 6th century.
• The original mozzarella cheese-
was made from the milk of Be
Indian water buffalo in the 7th cen-
tury. It was introduced to Italy in the
16th century.

South Shore Art Center exhibit taps country roots
By Matt Whorf
CORRESPONDENT
The famous Hatch Show
Print shop of Nashville could
be called The House That
Country Music Built. But that
title could also well he the
other way around. Hatch
Show Print is the classic look
that has detlned much of the
carny-style poster advertising
end of the country music
industry for most of the last
century.
If you've ever seen and
noted, in books or real-life
form, any of those bold, eye-
catching promo posters dis-
playing a concert date by stars
and legends of country musk-
through the eras — from Hall
ofFamers Hank Williams. Bill
Monroe and Johnny Cash to
present-day stars Garth
Brooks. Wynonna Judd and
Shania Twain — chances are il
was the creation of the 125-
year-old Hatch Show Print,
one of the oldest working let-
terpress print shops in the
United Stales
But the Music Cily compa-
ny has always been about
much more than country
music. Hatch was originally in
fact the major source of
"In today's
technology,
Hatch's
woodblocks are
CLINE
the digital age."
— Jim Sherraden,
Hatch Show Prints
posters used lo promote lurn-
Of-the-| last |-century vaude-
ville, circus and minstrel
ShOWS across the country.
Some of the vintage, mid-cen-
tury work also promoted car-
nivals, dancing girls, magi-
cians, wrestlers, freak shows
and gas stations, even politics.
In the more recent modern era.
poster commissions have fea-
tured rock stars such as Sting.
Pearl Jam. Bruce Springsteen,
the Beastie Boys and Coldplay
and advertised lor companies
like Nike. Taylor Guitars. Jack
Daniels. Pi//a Hut and Oxford
University Press.
Some of this colorful history
comes (back) to life in Hatch
Show Print, the new exhibit at
Hatch Shm Print has roots
deep in country music as evi-
deuced hy the posters <>f
Johnny C ash and Rltsy ( line
the South Shore Art Center
through April 10. The show-
case of letterpress show
posters and monoprints. all
produced in the tradition of
using images and typefaces
carved from wood and printed
on paper by presses cranked
by hand, is sure to fascinate
varieties of music lovers.
Americana buffs, graphic arts
collectors and designers alike.
"In over 125 years, the
Hatch Show Print company
has never changed its technol-
ogy. Even in the 50s. when
most other print companies
changed to the offset tech-
nique. Hatch held faithfully to
the letterpress tradition.'" said
printmaker and curator/man-
ager of Hatch Show Prints.
Jim Sherraden. who made the
trip from Nashville to the
South Shore Art Center to
appear for two evenings of a
gallery talk and then a meet-
and-greet for patrons at the
show's opening event last
week
"In today's technology.
Hatch's woodblocks are the
antithesis of the digital age."
Sherraden said.
Sherraden's original mono-
prints offer the more creative
side of his company, and dom-
inate the Art Center exhibit. A
native ol Kansas, the print-
maker has been w ilh the Hatch
company since l'iS4. and
despite now presiding as cura-
tor/manager over a lucrative
enterprise handling OVW 600
commissions a year, speaks in
humble, unassuming terms of
his historical role and place in
what is a genuine American
institution. He believes that
role to be part of something
bigger than himself.
Two of the artist's mono-
prints — sinking mirror-
image views of the carniva-
lesque "Big Woman" — are
what Sherraden calls "the best
examples ol my interest iii
tribute to the great American
poster shot " Some of the best
of the total original work fit-
tingly pays interpretive tribute
to the luminaries of country
music and the genre's stylistic
cousin, early rock and roll.

^Z.-' most exquisite views on the South Shore, the spectacular new Black Rock House is a
classic 5000 plus square foot shingle-style residence which has been completely rebuilt in a
choice Jerusalem Road location.
Designed in the style of the original historic Black Rock House, a world-renowned hotel built
on the very same high ledge outcropping in 1904, the new residence provides three levels of
panoramic views to take in the entire Boston skyline, several lighthouses including Minot
Light, as well as Doctors Island, the Boston ship lane, and all the drama of the Gold Coast and
scenic Black Rock Beach.
Now ready for occupancy, the home features multiple French doors leading to several
mahogany decks with panoramic views from sunrise to sunset, and a completely private back-
yard oasis with bluestone terrace, shaded pergola and a fabulous swimming pool in view of
Boston, Straits Pond and the Atlantic Ocean.

u bo is urn a member, hut was invit-
ed to attend the second meeting in
the absence of Selectman Ralph
Dull litKl, viid he did not agree
with McMorris. He recommended
the Board take another look at ils
policies to help clear up any misun-
rjerstandinga regarding what must
he posted as required by the Open
Meeting Law.
Koed said shortly before he left
his house for the meeting, he
received a phone call from a con-
cerned resident who informed him
the meeting he was about to attend
had not been posted.
"I was ver> uncomfortable it had-
n't been posted." he said, adding "It
gravely concerned me."
Koed satel because the meeting
wa- intended to serve as an inter-
view session for an attorney who
could potentially serve as special
counsel to the town on the Cook
Estate matter, the attorney present
was asked to give his opinion on
- whether it was legal for the com-
mittee to meet
Koed said in the attorney's opin-
ion, if the committee was a "work-
ing committee." the meeting would
not necessarily have to he posted as
it would for a sub-committee
However. Selectman Rob
Spoffnrd said with the interest the
topic has generated, the board
would be better off to post the
meeting even if it is not required.
The town has teamed up with
the Northland Residential devel-
opment company to build 95 units
of senior housing on the Cook
I. stale oil Sohier Street. But soils
on the site cannot support an on-
site wastewater disposal system
as planned, so the town has been
looking for alternate means of
disposal ever since Sewer capac-
ity from both the town's waste-
w ater treatment plant and the Hull
plant have both been aired as pos-
sible solutions.
The tow n has been able to secure
an extension on signing the pur-
chase and sale for the property until
April .'(). 2005 to give it time to
come up with a suitable w astewater
solution for the Gx>k Estate site.
To date, no progress has been made
on the issue, which is why the com-
mittee was formed Feb. 22. The
committee was charged with find-
ing alternate solutions to enable the
95 units to move forward, as well
as potential solutions which would
require downsizing of the project.
Those appointed to the committee
include Advisory Committee
Chairman Donna McGee.
Selectmen Ralph Dormit/er and
Ronnie McMorris. Senior Housing
Committee member Margy Charles.
Sewer Commission Chairman Ray
Kasperowicz, Town Manager Bill
Griffin, and Town Counsel.
Spofford asked McMorris to
give the board an update on the
meeting, and she indicated the
committee had spoken with an
attorney about serving as special
counsel. However. Tom Callahan,
35 Hillside Drive, said this was the
first he had heard of hiring special
counsel and he didn't understand
why one was needed and asked
what it will cost the town.
Griffin said appointing special
counsel is only an option the town
is exploring and nothing has been
set in stone.
McMorris said the committee is
working to find ways the project can
be built as planned, and will look
other options, such as downsizing, if
it cannot. She said it has been great
to have the Sewer Commission
involved in the process as it has real-
ly helped gel a handle on the way
the community should address all its
wastewater concerns.
Koed said as long as the commit-
tee investigates all options includ-
ing 60 units — for which it has
been said an on-site wastewater
disposal system would work — he
will be happy.
McMorris asked Koed if he had
heard about another working
group which has put together a
"particular project they would like
to see instead of what's proposed."
Koed said he had not. but indi-
cated he thinks the board owes it to
the townspeople to inform them of
all information pertaining to what
will and will not work on the site.
McMorris then asked Koed if he
hadn't heard anything about anoth-
er proposal where a group was
looking to partner with the South
Shore Art Center, to which Koed
replied he has heard rumors, but
nothing about any specific project.
"Last week I spoke to a senior
who had her home on the market,"
said McMorris, adding there are
many Cohasset residents who are
in their 70s or 80s and are current-
ly on the wait list for the Cook
Estate project and if it doesn't go
through, they will be forced to
move to other towns. "They are
looking to their leaders," she said,
adding she would hope saving the
project as designed would be the
town's first priority.
Spofford said he hopes there are
parallel paths the committee is
working on as it "tries to salvage
(the project) in some form or fash-
ion." by reporting back on all fronts.
In an interview Wednesday,
Koed said now that he has had 24-
hours to think about it, he intends
to recommend to the Board of
Selectmen at its March 8 meeting
that the motion to appoint the com-
mittee be changed to assure the
committee is recognized as a sub-
committee of the Board of
Selectmen, and therefore required
to be posted to allow members of
the public to attend. "We need to
get the maximum amount of input
from the townspeople," he said.
Open Meeting Law Guidelines
The Open Meeting Law does not
make any distinctions betw een sub-
committee meetings and working
group meetings. However, accord-
ing to Town Manager Bill Griffin,
he said in his experience, a sub-
committee is a committee formed
from an existing board with an
appointed chairman and clerk,
while a working group works
together on an issue on a more
informal basis. He said in his expe-
rience, he has been the one to
appoint working groups, which
clearly means it has not been
appointed by any governmental
board If a committee serves as an
extension ol a board, it is subject to
the Open Meeting Law.
However, in this case, the com-
mittee w as appointed by the Board
of Selectmen and two of its mem-
bers are represented, which could
constitute a sub-committee.
According to the Open Meeting
Law Guidelines, "A meeting of a
governmental body sub-commit-
tee, w hich is itself a governmental
body, is subject to the Law if a quo-
rum ol the subcommittee is pre-
sent even if that quorum is not suf-
ficient to constitute a quorum of
the parent governmental body."
The Open Meeting Law
Guidelines offer the example of a
school committee with nine mem-
bers appointing three, three-mem-
ber subcommittees to screen appli-
cants for the position of superin-
tendent, then coming back to
make recommendations to the full
committee. "When two or more
members of any of these subcom-
mittees meet together to discuss or
deliberate on the matter assigned
to it. this is a meeting covered by
the Law even though less than a
quorum of the full school commit-
tee is presem." it states.
Griffin said while there has been
some confusion. "It sounds like
these meetings will be posted in the
future-

FROM WATERSHED. PAGE 1
Water Department would like
to acquire are abutting exist-
ing town-owned land.
Wompatuck Slate Park, or
Whitney and Thayer Woods,
which is owned
by the Trustees
of Reservations.
All the parcels
are in zoning dis-
tricts, which
according to the
town's Master
Plan, makes
them "potential-
ly developable."
In addition, their
topography and
soil characteris-
tics indicate they
could support
development,
which the Water
Depart m e n t
says will lead to
more nutrient
loading as well
as storm-water
runoff, which
pollutes the water supply.
The purchase price for the
parcels totals $908,600,
which includes fees for
appraisal costs, title searches,
attorney fees, recording fees,
environmental site assess-
ments and surveys totals.
Pratt explained the depart-
ment is being awarded
5434.300. which is a match
grant that will pay for half the
total cost. Therefore, the
Water Department will need
to come up with roughly
$550,000 to meet its share.
"We expect to ask Town
Meeting for that money this
year." he said. Pratt added
the money which has been
awarded by the state, "basi-
cally saves the department
5434.000. which we were
going to spend of our own
funds over the next few

With the grant comes some
conditions, including its
requirement that the land be
retained as open space, which
the community can use for
appropriate out-
door/recreation-
al use. The
parcels will be
legally protect-
ed open space
with a level of
protection "in
perpetuity." and
managed by the
Trustees of
Reservations,
which has
teamed up with
the Water
Department in
its efforts.
In fact, the
Trustees of
Reservations
has committed
to contribute
$50,000 to the
town toward
parcel acquisition. It has also
pledged to raise $50,000 of
endowment to allow Trustees
of Reservations staff to assist
the town in managing the
land. The Trustees will either
hold or co-hold the perma-
nent conservation restriction
in the designated areas.
"When we complete these
land purchases we will have
control ov er all the remaining
open land in the Cohasset
portion of our watershed.
Much of our watershed is in
Sciruate and Norwell as well
as Wompatuck State Park."
said Pratt. Moving forward,
he said the department has
plans "to work with other
nonprofit conservation
groups in these towns to
acquire land to protect our
water shed that is not in
Cohasset."

Town Manager is a team player
FROM GRIFFIN, PAGE 1
returned to his hometown of
Swansea. Mass., where he
heard of an opening at Town
Hall.
Griffin said Swansea had just
lost its part-time Executive
Secretary and was looking to
hire someone to work in an
expanded full-time Executive
Secretary role. 'There I was,"
said Griffin, adding at 23 years
old, he was enthusiastic and
fresh out of college and the
opportunity just fell into his
lap. He had grown up in the
town and knew its ins and outs,
but was also well known due
to his participation in high
IChOOl sports.
"It was a matter of timing."
Griffin said, adding if the posi-
tion hadn't been open, he may
have pursued career opportuni-
ties in either federal or stale
offices as many of his friends
had done. However, "a lot of
things in life happen when you
don't exrject it." he said.
Griffin joked while growing
up if anyone had asked him
what he thought his career
would be, his answer would
not have been one in munici-
pal government. "I always
thought I'd be a professional
baseball player," he said with
a laugh.
In high school, he played on
both the basketball and base-
ball teams and was recruited
by Providence College to play
on its baseball team. "I played
all four years as their pitcher,"
he said. In addition. Griffin
played for two years on the
Cape Cod Baseball League, a
summer league for college
players.
While Griffin no longer
plays baseball, he is an avid
golfer. "I belong to the
Plymouth Country Club." he
said, adding it his favorite
course, perhaps because it's
the view he sees every day out
the windows of the house he
shares with wife Robin, a reg-
istered nurse, and their two
children. Patrick. 22 who is a
senior at UMass Amherst, and
Molly. 1 7. a junior at Plymouth
North High Sch<x)l.
Griffin said he also enjoys
keeping up with sports on tele-
vision. "I follow sports very
much," he said, adding this
year has been a great year for
New England sports fans. He
said watching the Red Sox
win the World Series was a
special experience for him.
and it made him realize how
much sports can bring friends
and families together.
Shortly after the Red Sox
championship game was
over. Griffin said his son
called him from college. "He
said he was thinking of
Grandpa," Griffin recalled,
adding his lather, who had
passed away, would have
loved to see the team victori-
ous. "I told him. You know
what. I was too.'" he said.
With the World Series win
still fresh in everyone's minds.
Griffin said watching the New
England Patriots win the
Super Bowl was also exciting.
He said he sees the Patriots as
role models, showing what it
means to work as a team with
everyone stepping up to pick
up the slack. That kind of
team spirit is what he envi-
sions lor the town of Cohasset
Griffin came on board Jan.
3 1 . His arrival ended a period
of transition for the town.
Director of Finance Michael
Buckley had been serving as
Acting Town Manager until a
permanent replacement could
be found for former Town
Manager Mark Haddad
Haddad. w ho held (he post for
seven years and was
Cohasset's first Town
Manager, resigned last May.
Griffin was the unanimous
selection of the Board of
Selectmen, which gave him
high marks during the screen-
ing process.
Griffin said he hopes to be
able to "inspire a sense of
teamwork." not only in Town
Hall, but in the community.
He said on his end. he wants
residents to know he is always
available.
"I have an open-door poli-
cy." he said. In addition. "I
want our staff to be problem
solvers," Griffin said. "I don't
pretend to have all the
answers." He promises to put
in the time to help residents
with any issues the) have.
"At times I'm going to give
an answer people don't want
to hear." Griffin said.
However, in his experience.
Griffin said he has found peo-
ple are usually willing to
accept an answer they don't
necessarily want if the) feel
they have been treated fairly
Pointing to the "Code ol
Ethics." framed and mounted
on his office wall. Griffin said,
"[adhere to that."

The culture of this board is about to change,

Amazed at lack of candidates
TO MB Editor:
I am anwed and appalled to read that for
the upcoming election there are only three
candidates for two seats for Selectman and
three for School Committee — two for a one-
year term and one for a full term.
In view of all the "rhetoric" oral and writ-
ten about the present boards. I would have
expected thai many would jump at (he
chance.
Afraid of the work, ihe criticism, etc.? "It
would be better to light a candle than curse

No work along wetlands until after May 1
MAKING TRACKS
Tom Cm hik vnh Mark Brfnnan
It now looks like no activity will lake place
along the rail line until alter May I. We last
reported to you that tree (lagging was to
begin during February and that clearing
would soon follow. However, construction is
forbidden along wetlands from March I to
May I due to the small critters thai emerge
from the wetlands during this season Wilh
Cohassel's abundance of wetland, the MBTA
has chosen to do their Hugging and cutting
after the critters have "done their thing."
Remember, ihai when flagging does start,
the trees that will he flagged with red and
black ribbons will not be cleared. Only the
trees between the flagged trees will be
removed. So. do not be alarmed if trees on
your property are flagged, those trees w ill noi
he removed.
Remember^ that when
flagging does start, the
trees that will be flagged
with red and black ribbons
will not be cleared.
Parking Lot -
Ripley Road Crossing
As a pan ol Cohasset's mitigation agree-
ment, the MBTA has agreed to work with the
Town lo redesign and reconstruct the town
parking lot. You may have read ahoul the
work we are doing with the MBTA on (he
design ol the town parking lot in other news-
papers Some of our work was described in
a manner thai might be considered a bit sen-
sational. For the record, the Town of
Cohasset is working diligently and coopera-
tively with the MBTA to create the best pos-
sible design for this area.
This area is very difficult because it is
affected by not only the Greenbush project,
but also the Village Rcvitalization project.
We have been meeting regularly with the
Revitalization Committee as well as the
MBTA. It is important that any designs in
this geographic area blend together smoothly
to meet the needs of the Revitalization
Project, which includes the town parking
function, and the Greenbush rail line. It is
our goal to maintain the best possible rela-
tionship with the MBTA. while at the same
time addressing the priority needs of (he
Town of Cohassel.

Fresh look at Cook Estate needed
COMMENTARY
Rot Sv
we face the fact that we made a mistake, and get
accurate data to make a more informed decision.
So here are some questions to help all of us under-
stand what the options are:
This is in response 10 last week's story. The
Clock is licking on [he Cook Estate"
First of all, the town should not be in the develop-
ment business. Risking taxpayer money on residen-
tial development deals was never recommended in
the Cohassel Master Plan, and was not a leading
practice used by other towns (alter we searched
across the stale liir affordable housing best prac-
tices). The Tow n leaders should actively use zoning
(like the senior housing article), tax. and regulatory
incentives |o support lower cost housing.
Development projects are risky, and should he left to
professionals who can manage that risk.
However, we ire stuck with the Cook Estate deal
that was m>M In the ton ii .is a risk free, senior afford-
able bousing project We were told at the town meet-
ing that this w i mill no) cost the town any money and
that there was adequate capacity lor an on-site sop-
tic system. Both are pn-ving to he wrong. It is time
we made a mistake, and get
accurate data to make a more
inTormeu decision.
How much have we spent on the Ccx>k Estate so
far, and w here is the money coming from'.' There is
speculation is that the town has spent around
S2(K).tMMI in paying for sewage treatment
test/options, legal, consulting, engineering, and
architecture contractors.
What are the total costs so far. including future
hills we should be expecting'.'
What are the costs and liabilities if we pull out of
Cook Estate, or reconfigure the RFP.' Will we owe
anything to Northland (including the deposit)?
How do we pay for the costs we have accrued? Is
the property still worth $4.5 million, now ih.it we
know that the land cannot support a large septic sys-
tern? Can we negotiate this price down'.'
Why can't Northland replicate the Cedarrnere's
system for recycling wastewater .'
What exactly is needed by our senior citizens,
given the 11)7 units of senior housing thai is being
built at Cedarmere''
I fully support revisiting the RFP for the Cook
Estate. It makes more sense to consider a smaller
development, with more focus on mid ranee and
affordable housing tor those seniors that cannot
afford market rate units and don't quality lor afford-
able housing. Those residents with some equity, hut
not a lot of savings might otherwise gel squeezed
out. A smaller, more creative plan could alto ipttn kte
more public access, open space, as well as on-site
septic.
Let's not throw good taxpayer money after had
until we get all of the facts, l believe dial it is time
for a fresh look on how we can minimi/c the prob-
lems with Cook, and use this as a "lesson learned"
that the Town should not he in the development
business.

HEALTH NOTES
On-site septic system management plan explained
By Steve Bobo
vrri.\L 10 THE MAOINER
At the next fown Meeting, the Hoard of Health
expects to request funding for a new
Comprehensive On Site Wastewater Management
Plan to the voters. Unlike previous plans, the new
plan will be voluntary, it should meet the require-
ments (A the Dl. P. and ii is expected to pay far itself,
The plan is designed to ignore all individual
waslcwalei systems which aie Operating in a satis-
factory, manner and which represent no health risk to
neighbors i » Ihe en* ironmcni. and. under certain cir-
cumstances, it gives credits lor land which may be
used to absorb wastewater (so called peitabic lanili.
Important elements ol the plan:
• It is voluntary, anyone can sign up.
• There" is an annual lee lot joining the plan w hich
is intended to covei louline maintenance, repair ami
upgrading il that becomes necessary, This lee is
planned to be approximately $1,000,
• Aside front routine maintenance, any upgrading
or sysiem replacement required will he paid Gar 50
percent by the homeowner and 50 percent by the
Town.
• Routine maintenance oi the system will be car-
ried out by the Ibwn or a Town selected subcon-
tractor rhere Will be no other charges for mainte-

• Provisions relating to the DEP Rile 5 regulations
upon the sale oi pi open) will continue to be in
effect that is. the septic system ill even property
being transferred win be required to have a valid
Title 5 approved septic sysiem as is now the case.
The cost of this inspection is included in the annual
maintenance fee.
Requirements lor joining the Plan:
Unlike previous plans, the new
plan will be voluntary, it should
meei ine requirements or uie
DEP, and it is expected to pay
for itself.
• Thai the Board of Health be permitted to inspect
the applicant's system lo assure that it is not a pub-
lic health threat and thai there are no illegal uses or
misuse. I bis is not a Title 5 inspection and, therefore
does not trigger a mandate to meet Title 5 require-
ments The inspection is similar to an insurance
physical. It determines that the system is presently
satisfactory lor its current use: that is it is adequate
lor the present occupant of the premises and repre-
sents no health threat lo the occupants, the abutters
or the Town
• The properly owner is required to permit access
to his property for the purposes of septic system
maintenance, inspection, repair or upgrading if nec-
essary A recorded easement is required.
• In the event that an inspection or other event
reveals a failed system requiring upgrade, the home-
owner shall be responsible for paying 50 percent of

Leonora C. Jenkins is pleased to announce her
candidacy for the one-year term on the School
Committee.
"1 am motivated. 10 run al this time due to the lack
of accountability in the way that the school con-
ducts lis business as witnessed in my years in
Cohassel.
"Our children spend actually a brief moment of
their lives in our schools and yet il is where the
foundation of their learning and social skills are
farmed For this reason we must be always vigilant
w ith the budget and expenses to ensure a quality
experience,
• ( h er the last several years the industry standards
Of the school have bn>ughl us highly paid adminis-
trators with Ph.D 's. Now we have discovered that
in oui slate ol the art schools our finances and man-
agement have been in disarray.
"Much as educators won't admit it. public educa-
tion is a big business and needs to be viewed using
real numbers, otherwise our students will be short
changed.
"I will bring a fresh perspective to the schools,
have an open and transparent budget networked
with the town and look for positive ways to work
with the town side on items such as purchasing,
equipment leases, motor pool maintenance and
the cost of the upgrade to Title 5 standards. The
Town will pay lor the other 50 percent. Il needed,
the Town will seek a low interest loan fbl the
ow tier's share of the cost.
• There is a six month open enrollment starting
when the plan is funded. Anyone joining the plan
will pay the annual maintenance fee at time ol join-
ing, Any repairs/upgrades required will he paid for
on a 50-50 basis. Those joining after the open
enrollment period and whose systems are in failure
must pay an additional annual maintenance lee to
join. There are other provisions in the texl ol the
Regulation which relate to credits for Ihe use bs one
landowner of the permeable land ol another for dis-
posal of septic effluent, so called Septi credits, but
this prov ision docs noi bear on the aforementioned
part of the plan.
How is the Town to pay for this initiative withoul
additional funds from taxation?
Essentially the annual user fee is expected, over
time, to pay for not only maintenance, but die cost
of any necessary repairs and upgrades
If the town approves the warrant article, we will
have a fair septic program which we all can afford
It will be the Town thai has to worry about condition
of septic systems, not the individual homeowner II
our estimates are conservative, the plan will he sell

two years, we'll be back to ask you what to do about
it.

The romance of
Chuck and Camilla
HENSHAW
ToviHi.ssiivw
I have to confess I don'l know what lo
gel Chuck and Camilla for their wed
ding next month
My usual gilt to the bride is a copy ol
"The Joy ol Cooking" but I'm noi sure
that Camilla can cook.
The cookbook has proven to be a popu-
lar wedding present, except in one case
where the bride took il to mean I was
critical ol her lasagna and hasn't invited
me hack to the table since I didn't mean
il. Lisa
Bui I digress
The wedding ol Chuck and Camilla,
which is scheduled fat April X before a
JP at the Windsor Town Hall, is going li '
he an exclusive affail er event,
which means thai I haven't gotten my
m\ italhin yet
Maybe it's because George and In- lei
rorisi huniers still have a backlog ol
envelopes from England to steam open in
then continuing search lor weapons u|
mass destruction,
It's not that I'm upset about
not being invited to the
most important matrimonial
event since JLo and Ben .
It's not thai I'm upset aboui not being
invited to the most important matrimoni-
al event since JLo and Ben What's
that ' Wbaddya mean they didn't '
Okay, since Britney Spears and whatsis
name.
I am reliably informed that Chuck's
mother. l.ir. didn't get an nunc, either,
and neither did his brothers. \nd\ and
Eddie, and his sister, Annie Now. there"*
a dysfunctional family.
However. LJl and the kids will he at
the reception alter the wedding ai
Windsor Castle because Liz herself is
throwing it. I didn't get an inv nation to
that, either. But I don't mind. The beer
w ill probably be warm and there'll be
anchovies in the hors d'oeuvres
The romance between Chuck and
Camilla has been an unusual one ever
since they first met 35 years ago on Ihe
Windsor Greal Park polo field
"My great-great grandmother was your
great-great grandfather's mistress, so
how about it '" said Camilla, breaking the
conversational ice.
"Dull." said Chuck.
Now. in my circles, a normal man hear-
ing thai would have had a room at the No
Tell Motel in a minute and 27 seconds.
Chuck was 21 at the time bin obviously
suffering through a difficult puberty.
Camilla went on to wed a cavalry offi-
cer named Andy and Chuck married a
sweet young thing named Diana and it
looked like the Chuck and Camilla Show
was over belore it started.
Sixteen years after they first met aj the
polo grounds, however. Chuck and
Camilla met again and this time Chuck
knew what to do. although there is evi-
dence that his romantic line with the
ladies had not unproved that much.
In a cell phone conversation leaked to
the public. Chuck was caught telling
Camilla. "I'll just live inside your
trousers or something."
In spue ol ii. Camilla remained by his
side and pretty soon they were getting
mail at the same address.
And. now. with Andy and Diana out of
the way. Chuck is about to make an hon-
est woman out oi her.
Kinda gets you in the old Mickey
Mouse, doesn't it?

School costs are
not rising
disproportionately
fc mi Editor:
The letter-to-lhe-editor last
week from Joseph McElro)
(More on merit pas for teach-
ers! contained a number of
comments about school
finances which .ire evident of
the sort of misleading argu-
ments made b> those who are
hiehl> critical of our schools.
Mr. McElro) wrote.
"Cohassei should leverage its
small school district with u
high achiev ing student body to
contain costs." That is a won-
derful-sounding statement, hut
what in the world is that sup-
posed io mean.' I don't recall
Mr. McElroy doing anything to
put that general theory into
practice while he was a mem-
ber of the School Committee.
But if now he has some specif-
ic ideas on cost containment
for Cohasset schools without
sacrificing quality, then this is
the lime for him to step for-
ward and elaborate.
He drew an analogy to the
New England Patriots, citing
their 24th lowest payroll in the
NFL out of 32 teams, to sug-
gest, I suppose, that the
Cohasset schools likewise can
remain high-achieving (Mr.
McElroy stated in his letter that
Cohasset students achieve in
the top 5 percent in the state),
but can do so at a lower rela-
tive cost than other school dis-
tricts. This facile analogy
(which our governor recently
used) is an insult to the inielli-
gence of every student, parent,
and teacher in Massachusetts.
For Mr. McElroy and our gov-
ernor t» compare the econom-
ics of operating an NFL foot-
ball team to the finances of
public education is absurd on
its face.
Bui unlike Mr. McElroy 's let-
ter, let's look at some facts
about C'ohasset's school spend-
ing. According io the Slate
Dept. of Education web site,
the latest figures available for
per pupil spending in each dis-
trict show that in FY 2003,
Cohasset taxpayer; expended
S74IW per regular education
pupil Compared to ihe 20S K-
12 school districts listed on the
DOE chart, this ranked
Cohassei in .'Nth place in
spending per pupil Thus, we
are in Ihe top 5 percent of
achievement but only in the
lop IS percent of spending, a
ratio of performance-lo-spend-
ing not quite as cost-effeelive
as the Patriots' record, but
nowhere near .is indicative of
overspending by our schools as
Mr McElroy s letter suggests.
Mr McElroy also made this
statement: "It also is true that
20 years ago Cohasset real
estate taxes were in the mid-
range of Massachusetts com-
munities, whereas we now are
in ihe top 3 percent largely dri-
ven by disproportionate
iin rca'\c\ m tchool operating
costs. " (My emphasis.) Mr.
McElroy did not provide any
statistical information to back
up this statement, so I went to
the Town Clerk's office to look
at the Town Report for I9S5.
The total town budget figure-
appropriated for FY 1985 was
$8,432,365. The school budget
for lhat year was S4.0X6.(>49.
about 4<H percent of the total
town budget But for FY 2005.
the tolal town operating budget
was S2y.37X.494. of which the
school budget was
SI 2.003.038. about 40 percent
of the total town budget. Thus,
if you compare the figures
from 1985 and 2005. the
school budget has increased by
a factor of 2.93. whereas the
other town budget line items
have increased by a factor of
about 4.0 over the past 20
years. In other words, the rest
of Ihe town budget has out-
paced the school budget by a
grow th rate of 36 percent from
1985-2005
Thus, contrary to Mr.
McElroy's assertion that
school costs are rising dispro-
portionately to the rest of the
town budget, just ihe opposite
is true: School costs in
Cohasset have risen at a slower
rate than the town budget as a
whole.
Further, putting aside ancient
history from a generation ago.
ihe 2004 Town Meeting war-
rant shows that school budget
costs are rising at a slower rate
than the resi of the town budget
even in the present era of
increasing school enrollment
and increased costs for special
education and MCAS require-
ments. The budget figures on
page 13 of the warrant show
lhat for the four year period
from FY 2002 to FY 2005. the
school budget increased by just
over 20 percent (from
S9.999.725 to $12,003,038).
while the rest of the tow n bud-
gel line items increased by
more than 22perceni (from
SI 4. 1 62.725 to SI 7.375.456).
The problems facing the
Cohasset school system are
both serious and worthy of
serious discussion on both
sides ol the liscal equation
debate. However, points-of-
v lew w hich engage in misstate-
ments of fact, teacher-bashing,
and grandiose schemes with no
basis in reality are counterpro-
ductive to the tusk at hand of
maintaining a quality school
system for our children.

Teachers' pay
and the Patriots
To nil. Editor:
This morning (Thursday) as I
read Ihe Globe's sports page. I
was reminded of Mr.
McElroy's letter to the editor
about merit pay. Mr. McElroy
would like Mariner readers to
believe thai local teacher
salaries and contractual agree-
ments are analogous in some
way to the New England
Patriots" champion siatus
earned over Ihe years wilh a
low payroll ranking (relative to
other NFL teams i.
The Globe reports that Joe
Andru//i. who "made $1.2
million last season and repeat-
edly said he preferred to
remain wilh New England,
signed a four-year. S9 million
contract with the Browns."
Outstanding players such as
An<Jru//i are lured away by
greener pastures, despite hav-
ing 1.2 million reasons lo stay
with a champion organi/ation.
Should Cohassei ever imple-
ment merit pay for teachers
along Ihe lines suggested by
Mr. McElroy. and should other
school districts then follow suit
in order to retain their own
"franchise teachers" might an
outstanding teacher follow the
lead of professional athletes,
thereby driving up the town's
payroll even further'.' Or,
would it just exacerbate the
inequity in quality teaching he
seeks to eliminate?
Some sort of free agency in
leaching... I'd love to see it. I
won't ever command the big
bucks in such a dream world,
but I'll jump on that train any
day.

QUESTION OF THE WEEK
This week's question was
posed to candidates for select-
man and the school committee:
Prop. 2-1/2 overrides have
become annual events and are
often driven by school budget
needs. What, if anything can be
done to reverse this trend/
SELECTMAN/
Fred Koed
Across Massachusetts the
local tax burden has increased
causing many communities to
feel squeezed trying to maintain
level town services. This is a
statewide problem. This is why
I support the Massachusetts
Municipal Association (MMA)
In its quest to fairly address
these concerns at the state leg-
islative level.
For instance one such strategy
is to accelerate the five-year
schedule to phase out the cur-
rent Lottery fund diversion into
stale coffers (away from towns
such as Cohasset). Another pro-
posal is to close the property tax
loophole which exempt tele-
phone poles, wires and telecom-
munications machinery. This
legislation would restore $2,8
billion in valuation across
Massachusetts, resulting in an
additional $100 million of local
tax levy flowing into the local
coffers.
Shifting the burden of
unfunded state mandates away
from cities and towns back to
the state is another possible
source of revenue. For instance.
I believe that the state should
cover a larger portion of special
education costs. The current
formula mandates that towns
such as Cohasset must pay up to
four times the amount specified
in the "mean educational per
pupil cost of the locality' and
then costs are divided based on
a fixed percentage. My concern
is that all parents become
embroiled in school politics just
trying to do the best for their
children, all while trying to
keep class sizes lower.
Therefore, the best way to bal-
ance fairness and social respon-
sibility when paying lor these
costs, in my opinion, is for the
state to take more responsibility
in this area.
Meanwhile insurance cost
and health care costs in particu-
lar continues to rise. To partial-
ly address these particular con-
cerns. Cohasset is currently
considering not funding one
position in each of the follow-
ing departments: Police, Fire
and Highway and eliminating
all capital expenditures lor one
year.
SELECTMAN/
Debbie Shadd
Nobody likes overrides. Yet
the need to preser\e services is
real. Continued excellence in
education is critical to
Cohassei's future.
During my sis \ears on the
Advisory Committee, I worked
to identify best practices for
delivery and budgeting of
municipal and school services.
We have the opportunity for a
fresh start with a new town
manager, school superintendent
and police chief. I look forward
to working with all town offi-
cials to achieve more accuracy
and openness in the budgeting
process.
Cohasset is not unique in lac-
ing school and other budget
issues. Since 2002, net slate aid
is down 44 percent. The school
population is up 16 percent and
we have new school buildings
to maintain. State-mandated
special education costs for
FYOft are 68 percent higher than
for FY05. This expense plus
teacher salaries account for over
80 percent of the proposed
FY06 school budget. I believe
the schools' salary line item
could be managed more effec-
tively with multi-year forecasts
Of changes due 10 retirements
and step and level changes in
the teachers' contract. We
should continually explore, in
all budgets, opportunities for
savings and more efficient
delivery of services, including
group purchasing, bringing con-
tracted services in-house. and
appropriate fees for. service*.
Better communication and
coordination between decision-
making bodies could help
reduce our substantial legs]
bills.
Belter management of
expenses is important.
Controlled growth is also part
ol the solution. It will increase
our lax base and revenue
Development within the context
of our zoning by-laws will bring
in revenue and reduce the bur-
den on residential taxpayers,
while still protecting the charac-
ter of the tow n.
Finally, this is one town. A
"schools versus town" mentali-
ty in budget discussions is not
productive. Everyone needs la
work together to meet the sig-
nificant financial challenges
Cohasset faces. I am committed
to that effort.
SELECTMAN/
Gary Vanderweil
Proposition 2-1/2 was designed
to give municipal voters a say in
their taxation Any time town and
school officials recommend bud-
gets that result in an increase of
the tax levy that exceeds 2-1/2
percent, we the voters have the
opportunity to approve or disap-
prove the increase.
Up to now. we have approved
the ti )\v n and school officials' rec-
ommendations for increased bud-
gels, and have voted in favor of
the necessary overrides. In other
vwals. we the townspeople, at
least the majority of as, have
agreed in accept the higher level
of laxes that resulted from the
i >v errides.
Bui the system will work in the
other direction too. If the voters
wish io reverse the trend of over-
ruk's. all we have to do is to start
disapproving them In this case, the
low n and school officials will seek
and find the means to live within
the 2-1/2 percent tax levy increase.
This week's question was
posed to candidates for select-
man and the school committee:
Prop. 2-1/2 overrides have
become annual events and are
often driven by tchooi budget
needs. What, if anything can he
done to reverse this trend?
SCHOOL COMMITTEE
1-YEAR/Lee Jenkins
Cohasset has become one of
the top 10 in the state for proper-
ty taxes for single payer homes.
According to articles written by
school committee members and
data in the school budget we are
not #1 in teacher salaries but we
are higher than surrounding
towns in per pupil expenditures.
We need to take a good hard
look at the budget to find out
where our education dollars are
going. Unfortunately we have no
expense totals, comparisons or
details to understand where we
may have problems.
SPED is always a variable and
until this year we have dealt with
any increases at the fall STM.
Now. with inadequate explana-
tion, we are told that there is an
increase of $.M8K for '06.
The school committee hasn't
taken into account all of the edu-
cation expenses when consider-
ing their budget. Items such as
employee benefits, maintenance
(paid on the (own side) and debt
service for school renovations
have an impact on everything we
spend.
In order to keep spending at a
manageable level, we all have to
work together. It is time to have
an open and transparent budget,
networked with the lown. We
need to work as a team in the
areas of: purchasing, equipment
leases, motor pool maintenance
and trim expenses in health care-
to realize significant savings
without impacting classroom
quality.
With our new facilities manag-
er the selectmen have promised
our utilities will be working
more efficiently thus realizing
yearly sav ings. Our school union
contracts and administrative
raises need to be negotiated
within Prop 2-1/2 guidelines
considering the full ramifica-
tions of the salary increases and
benefits on the total town bud-
get.
To stay within 2-1/2 we cannot
be afraid to reach for creative,
commonsense initiatives.
Thinking out of ihe ho\ cm
bring us fiscal responsibility if
we're willing.
SCHOOL COMMITTEE
1-YEAR/Pam Wilson
The short answer to this ques-
tion is that we need to take a hard
look at the budget and all of the
expenses associated with it. We
must make sure that u is com-
prehensive enough, and prov ides
enough operational funding for
the coming year.
My belief is that a strong
school system is one of the pil-
lars of our town. As a parenl ol
Cohassel students. I am greatly
concerned about Ihe future of
our schools. Prop 2 !/2 overrides
are worrisome lo all of us. as res-
idents. Naturally, we need to
lake a haul look al the budget
and sel a clear list of priorities.
However. Ii is important thai we
don't dwell on the past, but look
to ihe luture to sel us in ihe righl
direction. As a town we are
playing catch up from a number
ol very important expenditures
that we have had lo make in Ihe
recent past. Our schools are
Completed, and we must now sel
our sights on maintaining our
strong reputation as on of the
better schools in Massachusetts.
Il is important for us to be fiscal-
ly responsible, however, not at
the expense ol our students and
ihe quality of their education.
My role as a member of the
school committee will be to take
an active position in developing
communication between resi-
dents of our community, teach-
ers and the committee. It is
important td ensure lhai we arc
focusing our energy and
resources in Ihe most critical
areas. People are often quick to
criticize the important efforts of
our volunteers on committees,
Communication of ideas and
support, in an encouraging man-
ner by lown residents, will great-
ly enhance the committee's
effectiveness. We are clearly
experiencing a difficult time
within our community.
Creativity and objective involve-
ment is needed by all of OUT res-
idents, io help us gel through our
financial difficulties. Rather
than criticizing, let's try as a
community, to come up with
some positive solutions to
sirengthen our schools.
SCHOOL COMMITTEE
3-year/Ahred Slanetz
First, the FY05 school budget
represents only 40 percent of
the $30 million Town Budget.
This is down from 54 percent
of the Town Budget in 1980.
Spending decisions in all of (he
Town Departments affect the
override and the current alloca-
tion to ihe School Department
may be too low,
Second. State and Federal
Governments mandate pro-
grams bul fail to adequately
fund them. From FY02 to
FY06 Oul of District Tuition
lor Special Education (a Stale
mandate) has doubled to
SI. 300.000 and net state aide
has decreased by 44 percent.
One Oul of District child's edu-
cation can cost up to
$l86.000/year.
Third. 70 percent of the
School Budget is governed by
the teacher union contract.
Over the last 3 years, this con-
tract guaranteed salarv increas-
es of $360,000 ( 3.8 percent I per
year. These salary increases and
the $540,000 expense increase-
relating to the new school
buildings resulted in multiple
cuts in teachers and educational
programs as the number of stu-
dents increased by 208 1 16 per-
cent). While we can be more
cost effective in non-instruc-
tional areas of ihe Budget, these
areas will save us about I per-
cent. We need the cooperation
of the teacher's union in the
current negotiations to hold
salary increases for the nexi
three years in exchange for
additional teachers.
Fourth, additional non-prop-
erty tax sources of revenue
need to be developed including
lundraising. grant writing and
payment for services We need
to work with the Cof) asset
Education Foundation to see
how we can increase this
source of revenue.
By working together over the
next three years, we can
improve Ihe schools and realign
the budget with educational
value. To calch up there may be
overrides for the next three
years However, we will strive
to gel greater value lor our tax
dollars. After thai, providing
we have solved the structural
Budget issues. Cohasset can
avoid annual overrides.

Kehoe, Dorian head to New Englands
By Mark Goodman
MG00DMANGCNC.COM
For two Cohassel wresllers,
one more weekend of action
remains.
Senior Joe Kehoe and junior
Shane Dorian both continued
iheir marvelous seasons last
weekend al Salem by each finish-
ing second in the All-State tour-
nament.
As a result, holh qualified for
the New England competition at
North Andover this weekend.
This was a great showing for
us."' said head coach Torin
Sweeney. To have two kids fin-
"This was a great showing for us. To have
two kids finish second here and make New
Englands, that's Quite an accomplishment."
ish second here and make New
Englands. thai's quite an accom-
plishment."
To make the All-Suite finals in
the 160-pound weight class.
Kehoe scored two convincing
victories, including a 10-5 win
over Div. I slate champ Joe
Murphy in the semifinals.
The Div. 3 state champ ran into
a bu//saw in the finals, however,
in Franklin's C.J. Colace. Colace
came into the match 44-0 on the
year, with an incredible 44 pins.
He made it 45 with 30 seconds to
go in the first period, but the sec
ond-place finish was good
enough for Kehoe to earn a spot
at New Englands.
Dorian's tournament was quite
similar: two good wins in the first
two rounds, including one over
an All-State finalist from last
year. He was pinned, however,
in Central Catholic's Boh
Murray in the second period of
the final match.
David McKenna. Matt Casey.
Matt Baroudi and Jonathan
Littuuer all also competed at All-
Stales. McKenna. a Div. 3 state
champ, won one match. Casey
and Baroudi both wrestled
through injuries, and likely
would have placed had they been
healthy.
Boys hoops build for the future
All 11 players returning
to next year's squad
By Mark Goodman
MG00DMANOCNC.COM
For the Cohasset boys basketball program,
the 2005-06 season starts now.
The team went through its proverbial grow-
ing pains this season, finishing with a 5-15
overall record. The Skippers did win. howev-
er, three of its last four.
Head coach Dorian Bryant hopes the sea-
son-ending momentum serves as a spring-
board to an off-season that involves a lot of
basketball. The coach and his staff are design-
ing clinics to work on skills and fundamen-
tals, and hope to have their players involved
in various spring and summer leagues.
"I think off-season work is the key for us."
Bryant said Wednesday. "I don't want
Cohasset hoops to be a three-month program.
We have to be playing - and playing together
- year-round if we want to get to the level we
want to be at"
The coach says his teams has, for the most
part been receptive to what the staff is asking
of them.
"We told them there has lo be a commit-
ment to the game if they want to compete
with the other South Shore League teams."
Bryant said. "I think they really learned that
this year. 1 think they said to themselves. "If
we pick up a ball and work at it hey. we could
be pretty good.'"
Bryant said the difference in his team from
the start of the season and the end has been
"night and day." particularly in the four prin-
ciples of the game that the coach stresses
most: defense/rebounding, turnovers, free
throws, and intensity.
There are some reasons to be optimistic for
the future. One is Trevor Brady, who served
as the team's captain in his junior year this
season. He was the team's leading scorer at
1 3 points per game, and developed leadership
skills as the season wore on.
"Trevor did better than 1 expected [as cap-
tain]." Bryant said. "He had the team working
hard at the end of the year, and made sure they
didn't give up. which is tough to do given
some of the losses we took this year.
"I think he really took that upon himself
halfway through the season. He got them to
play hard and work hard at practice."

The season may have
ended Wednesday night, hut
the Cohasset girls basketball
team has a lot to be proud of,
A 60-38 loss to Cathedral
in the first round of the Div,
4 South sectional ended the
Skippers' season at 1 2-4. hut
given the talent lost from
last year and injuries this
year, making the tournament
was an impressive accom-
plishment.
"Making the tournament
was a goal of ours, hut I
wasn't sure we could do it
[before the season started],"
said head coach John
Levangie Thursday morn-
ing. "And I don't think we
expected to make it at 12-K.
Il was a great year."
Against a team that
Levangie called the quickest
they had laced all season.
Cohasset got down early. A
15-point deficit with six
minutes to go in the first
half proved too much to
overcome.
"The kids definitely
worked hard, as they have
ever) single game this
year." Levangie said. "We
probably could have made
more of our shots early, but
it was Cathedral's quickness
that beat us more than any-
thing. They're a good team,
and you have to give them
credit."
Seniors Casey Anderson
and Nicole Whitney ended
their high school basketball
careers with solid games
Anderson scored a team
high 18. while Whitney
chipped in with eight.
Levangie said the duo's
senior leadership was on full
display throughout the
game.
Mia I.ieh-I.appen also did
a gtiQQ job on the boards,
while Ireshman Meg
Anderson played well
defensively, Anderson has
had to step into the darting
point guard role lot the last
several games alter junior
Chelsea Grossman was
injured, and Levangie said
she has fared well in doing
so.
"We were lucky to have
Meg play the way she did
these lasi seven games." he
said. "Otherwise, we would
have had huge troubles "
The coach said the team's
attitude w as upbeat alter the
season-ending loss, as the
girls knew they did well to
make it as tar as they did
"Cathedral was simply the
beltei team," Levangie said
"Our kids overachieved all
year; at some point, it had to
end. But they played with
such heart. For a young
team with only two seniors
to do this, it was impres-
sive."

The Mite C-l learn chalked
up another win against a unde-
feated Braintree team on a
early Sunday morning.
The Stars defeated Braintree
6-1 with a stellar performance
by goalie Davis Cronin. He
was unstoppable against a
tough Braintree offense.
Jake Moore chalked up his
first hat trick of the season.
Helping him out was Ben
Swim and Daniel Cronin.
Sean Fecney and Tyler
Mckinnon were both stand-
outs on defense.
Cam Mastrangelo and
Chris Bertone both moved the
puck and kept the pressure
down in the Braintree /one.
Liam Manning and Jack
Conlon both added points to
the score hoard. Hugh Healvy,
pulling double dun and no
shift changes, was great on
both offense and defense.
The Stars were short on men
that day hut pulled out all (he
stops for a well earned victory.
Chalk up another win for the
Mite C-l team. The burner has
been turned up for this team as
they post a 6- 1 victory over the
Sea Hawks.
Mckinnon was in goal and
was once again the "brick
wall." The defense of Feeney
and Davis Cronin was out-
standing. Moore along with
wingers Daniel Cronin and
Derek Sloan kept the action
going.
Keeping the torch going was
Joe Proctor who had his first
goal of the season. He had
some help from Mastrangelo
and Joe Deyeso. Bertone was
great in defense along with
Tommy Prendergast and
Manning, who had a goal.
The burner was kept lit by
Healey with five assists.
Conlon with a goal and to top
it off. Jack Shaw with a hat
trick! Way to go boys!

Tournament hockey in
February is no ditterenl than
college basketball in March-
it's Madness! Facing the
Seahawks in the opening
match turned into a thriller. An
Mirrors
uncharacteristic start by the
STARS had them coming out
flat and giving up three quick
goals. Coach Rice, a handsome
but alive Herby Brooks, called
a strategic time out and took
the crowd out of the game.
This tactic had an immediate
dividend, when Ben Rice won
the ensuing face off in the
offensive /one and passed to
Michael Lund. Lund wristed
a rocket top shelf. The
Seahawks answered the call
and scored on the next shift,
regaining a 3 goal lead. Ai the
end of the first period, the
STARS laced one of their
biggest deficits of the season,
trailing 4-1.
The irony of this game was
the fact it was being played on

Adventurous couple 'sails off the charts'
Lecture benefits
maritime programs
By Samantha Brown
SAMBROWN^CNC .COM
When the winter chill sets in
and Cohasset Harbor is encrusted
with ice, it is no place for the sail-
boats which frequent its waters
during the summer months.
However, for sailors John
Harries and Phyllis Nickel, who
have become experts in explor-
ing the high northern latitudes,
floating amongst glaciers in the
most remote comers of the open
seas is an adventure they have
come to know.
This adventurous couple will
come to Cohasset Saturday.
March 12 as part of an annual
lecture series sponsored by the
Cohasset Yacht Club. The two
will present their slideshow, "Ice
and White Space." at St.
Anthony's Parish Hall. 1 29 South
Main St. beginning at 7 p.m.
Their presentation will chronicle
their extensive sailing journeys,
navigating their 56-foot
McCurdy and Rhodes aluminum
cutter "Morgan's Cloud."
through remote areas like the east
coast of Greenland. Baffin
Island. Labrador, Arctic Norway
and Svalbard (Spitsbergen).
"The Cohasset Yacht Club is
extremely proud to host a couple
who have literally sailed 'off the
charts' into the land of 'ice and
white space'. John and Phyllis
are experts in this form of sailing
challenge and have written
extensively about their adven-

tures. Their spectacular photog-
raphy and accounts about cruis-
ing in these remote areas should
inspire all of us," said Mary
Whilely of the Cohasset Yacht
Club, who has been working to
coordinate the event.
For the past six years, lectures
have served as a means of fund-
raising for the Cohasset High
School Maritime Studies
Program and Summer Institute, a
program which offers local stu-
dents the opportunity to partici-
pate in an academic program,
while taking advantage of the
summer months outdoors.
"The pair continues a tradition
of outstanding speakers," said
Whitley, adding the Northern
Latitudes will be an exciting des-
tination for this year's lecture.
Past lecturers have included
Tania Aebi. who at 1 8 years old
was both the first woman sailor
and the youngest person ever to
circumnavigate the globe; Cam
Lewis, who. along with four
French sailors, navigated an 86-
foot catamaran around the world
in 79 days, setting a new speed
sailing record; and Douglas and
Bemadette Bemon. a husband
and wife sailing team that has
traveled extensively in the
Western Caribbean.
Harries was born and brought
up in Bermuda and began sailing
as a child, racing locally and off-
shore before turning to cruising.
Over the last 35 years, he has
accrued more than 100,000 off-
shore miles, including ocean
races to Bermuda. He won his
class twice in the Newport
Bermuda Race. In the last 14

years, he has skippered a series
of voyages in the North Atlantic,
the majority of which have been
in the high latitudes.
In contrast. Harries' wife
Nickel only began sailing eight
years ago. Bom on the Canadian
prairies, she has always had a
love of wild places, but had
never sailed prior to meeting
Harries in 1996. Since then, she
has sailed roughly 30,000 off-
shore miles, most of which have
been in the high latitudes.
Coming to the sport as an adult,
she says she is able to bring "a
fresh perspective to high latitude
cruising that helps the couple
communicate what they do in an
approachable way."
Haries and Nickel live on
board "Morgan's Cloud.'" and
they continue to cruise while run-
ning their business. Attainable

vides cruise planning assistance

i-d to the hospital after she
flipped and broke her wrist run-
ning her dogs in Whitney
[Woods "I went home and later
[Arthur (Vee's husband) called
the ambulance." she said.
Roebuck said she was sirapped
in and all of sudden "boom!" She
said a kM of police cruisers and
the Hingham ambulance arrived
which completed her transport to
the hospital. She was uninjured
Paramedics praised
in the mishap "But I was wor-
ried about one of the paramedics,
he had a jolt." she said.
A Cohasset paramedic strained
his back in the incident and was
transported to the hospital v ia
Fallon ambulance. He was back
at work Wednesday (Feb. 23).
Fire Chief Roger Lincoln said.
Lincoln said although the acci-
dent was low-impact, the
Cohasset ambulance was dam-
aged and is still at the body shop
awaiting repairs. He said he has
not received an official appraisal
yet on the damage that involved
several compartment doors on
the vehicle.
In the interim. Cohasset is
using the ambulance the town
owns jointly with Norwell and
Scituate. That ambulance is
stored at the Norwell Center Fire
Station when not needed for situ-
ations like this.
Lincoln explained the Cohasset
ambulance was making the tum
on Cushing Street and the truck
was heading in the opposite
direction and was crossing over
to Ward Street when the collision
occurred.
"The road was icy and he
couldn't stop." Lincoln said.
Hingham Police Capt. Taylor
Mills said the driver of the truck
was being cited for an equipment
violation.
Roebuck had praise for all the
public safety people involved.
They were all excellent, very
professional and very concerned
for my safety." she said.
Alleged car thief takes off
A male described as being
in his early 20s ran away on
foot after crashing the car he
was driving on Elm Street in
the village Thursday night
(Feb. 24).
Police Chief James Hussey
said a call came into dispatch
at H:46 p.m. reporting the car.
a Mercury Marquis, was
operating erratically from
Scituate to Cohasset along
South Main Street.
He said Sgl. Shellee Peters
observed the vehicle, which
had its rear lights out, go by
her. She followed it along
Main Street into the village
but the car failed to stop. The
driver then attempted to
make a right turn onto Elm
Street and went across the
street onto the sidewalk near
the historical society muse-
um. Hussey said.
"The white male escaped
through the rear and up the
back of the buildings on Elm
Street." he said. Police called
for a K-9 unit from
Weymouth, which was not
available. The Plymouth
County Sheriff's K-9 unit
did respond to the scene but
could not pick up the scent.
The car the suspect was dri-
ving was stolen from
Scituate. Hussey said. The
suspect is still at large.
Anyone with information
can call the Cohasset police

'What do we want? And
what will we do to realize it?'
FAITH REFLECTIONS
Rev. Dr. Jan Carlsson-Buu.
What do you want? Make a list.
Step back. Revise it. A gallon of
milk, two pounds of salmon,
orange juice, olive oil. Is this
what you want today? Or is it a
new wing on your house, a new
finish on your boat, a new SUV, a
new something that psyche-savvy
marketers tell us is completely
essential for a full life?
What do you want this week?
Is it perhaps for a good outcome
of that colonoscopy that you final-
ly scheduled, a remission of the
cancer for which you"ve been
receiving chemotherapy, a few
more months of connection with
your husband ailing from
Alzheimer's? Or is it simply to
get away from it all. whatever the
all is that you need to escape'.' A
weekend in Bermuda perhaps, or
a mid-winter sojourn to Paris, or a
long leisurely sail in the
Caribbean.
What do you really want? Is it
for your child to come safely
home from Iraq? Is it for the cor-
poration to which you were
devoted for so many years to
assure you that your pension is
intact? Is it for the government to
assure you that your children's
Social Security won't be at the
mercy of Wall Street?
Is it for the knowledge that the
child from Darfur, who stared
back at you from the front pages
of the Globe, is still alive? Is it for
news that the husband of your
Afghani friend has at last been
released from Guantanamo Bay?
Is it for the promise that the home-
less woman, in whose chilled
chafed hand you dropped a dollar
bill last week, will find shelter and
more?
How is it that the mundane
flows so quickly into the global?
What do we want? Well of
course, you might say, of course I
need groceries. Of course I want
my health. Of course I want those
I love to live long healthy lives.
Of course I want a few extras. Of
course I want everyone to be fed.
Of course I want world peace.
What do we want? From the
mundane to the global, our
response is framed by our faith.
In what exactly do we have faith?
What compels our devotion?
What are the gods we worship —
and they are usually plural how-
ever monotheistic we deem our
particular brand of faith. What
drives us? In what do we find
purpose? If we have the good for-
tune of reflecting on a long life,
what do we want so see in that
rear-view mirror? Who do we
want to have been?
How generous? How faithful.'
How loving? How ready to share
power and let go of privilege — to
share power, individual or interna-
tional, that only backfires when
hoarded, to relinquish privilege,
individual or institutional, that
only accrues at another's
expense?
What do we want? And what
will we do to realize it? It is the
bottom line behavior of whatever
faith we claim. It is the under-
current of our reason for being,
which connects us intimately with
every creature with whom we
share this planet on which we all
reside as transient guest-.

Repair and revitalize damaged trees and shrubs
GREEN
THUMBS UP
Si /xsm \l\niik
During our extreme]} hricl
winter thaw, «;irm temperatures
and patches of h;ire earth Ixvk
oned me into the garden. It
became evident thai our constant
rmrrage of winter >tomis had
taken .t major toll on mj u.mhK
plantings throughout the land-
scape. The weight of the melting
snow has bent, split, broken, and
squashed man) uell-estahlishcd
shrubs. Although some of these
are likelv to recover once the
wanner weather finally arrises,
olheis ma) require major prun-
ing to repair nature's damage.
A late winter survey of your
property's trees anil shrubs
should be performed annually.
Mid-I ebmaiy to mid-April is the
preferred time of year to prune
man) of these dormant decidu-
ous plants since it is considerably
easier to \iew their architecture
and to observe damaged, dis-
eased. . ir cn >ssed branches before
the) leal out This \ car's winter
storm* have injured a w ide range
of wood) plants leaving jagged
cuts that nut) collect water
potential!) leading to disease.
Partial!) broken tree limbs ma)
eventual!) cause the protective
bark of the trunk to be snipped
beneath the tear creating a seri-
ous hazard to the plant.
Damaged or diseased stems and
limbs should he pruned as soon
as the) are noticed to prevent fur-
ther injur) and the spread of
infections Should you observe
crossed branches, rcmox e at least
one of the branches as the con-
stant nibbing of one branch
against another is an open invita-
tion lor disease to penetrate the
damaged b;irk.
The delicate and elegant
Japanese thread-leaf maples
were especialb hard hit b\ the
Januar) bli//ard. These umbrel-
la-shaped trees with their net-
work of cascading branches were
pulverized b\ wind and snow
and man) ot the pnmai) branch-
es have been left dangling by a
thread of hark. Others wereeven
more several) damaged with
entire trunks split b\ the heaw
snow tails Although many of the
most seriautl) injured limbs or
trees ma> not he salvaged. I have
had some success using duct tape
to reposition and repair partialis
broken minks and limbs on dog-
woods, hawthorns and maples,
the bandaging done on wanner,
dr) days to minimize the damp-
ness in the wounds. Larger limbs
were further reinforced b\ soft
rope or wide. Hal. vim l-coalcd
wire to help secure the brandies
or trunks in place to Facilitate
healing. LspecialK long limbs
were pinned hack to lighten ihe
load. Remarkably, some of the
branches have recovered Over
time. It ma) well he worth con-
lacling a local arhorisi for a con-
sultation if you have valuable
specimens that have been criti-
cal!) damaged. Small specimens
might best he protected in future
vcais vviih wooden sandwich
board type structures to prevent
the accumulation of snow on
their dense canopies.
lb ensure precise pruning, pur-
chase and use proper tools
Quality tools make the job easi-
er, last longer, and produce
cleaner cuts facilitating the heal-
ing proc ess Bypass primers and
lappets tend to be preferred b)
nurserymen, their scissors-like
action enabling cleaner, closer
cuts. High quality pruuers. like
the. Swiss-made Felco. arc worth
the additional cost for their dura-
bility, precision, and the fact that
they have replaceable blades.
Avoid anvil-style primers that
have one sharp blade with an
opposing Hal blunt edge as these
may crush stems and produce
uneven cuts. Inexpensive
primers also tend to produce
ragged cuts because they OR eas-
ily bent out of shape. Hand
primers are preferred for twigs
and smaller branches up 10 hall
an inch across. Long-handled
lopping shears are useful lor cut-
ling larger branches up to 2 inch-
es thick.
Curved-blade pruning saws are
usually designed to cut only on
the pull-Stroke and are ideal for
larger branches and great for
tight places. Bow saws cut on
both Ihe push and pull strokes bin
require none room to maneuver.
Both of these types of saws are
available in models with replace-
able blades.
When pruning entire branches
from the trunk of a tree, cuts
should be made just beyond the
ridge (above the branch I and the
collar (a swollen area below the
point of the branch's attachment
to the trunk). Sawing a branch
too closely to ihe trunk may dis-
nipt the healing process or may
stimulate grow th around the site
ol the wound producing new.
unwanted sprouts. It is not nec-
essary to apply paint to Ihe
wound as this application may
actually interfere with the plant's
natural healing ability. To short-
en a damaged branch, always
prune back to a side branch or
bud < ut the stem at an angle and
cut away from an outward lacing
bud to encourage growth away
from the interior spaces of your
shrub or tree unless vou are striv -
ing to till a gap thai may have
been produced by storm damage
The acquisition of a good relei
ence hook on pruning will great-
ly assist all homeowners with
helpful diagrams that illustrate
pruning techniques. Look for
guides thai provide recommen-
dations on the appropriate liming
of pruning specific varieties of
trees and shrubs. Regular prun-
ing will improve the overall
appearance Of nearly all wood)
plants.

SUDDEN HEARING LOSS
Sudden hearing loss is more com-
mon than most people seem to
believe. It affects about one in
every five thousand Americans
annually. The cause is unknown,
but many believe that the culprit
is a non-specific virus or a vascu-
lar condition. In addition, aging
and prolonged exposure lo loud
noise are common causes. The
hearing loss is usually profound,
but it rclurns partially or com-
pletely in about two-thirds of
Btjsei The good news is thai it
does not often affect the ability to
interpret speech, which is usually
in Ihe low- lo mid-pitch frequen-
cy range. However, missing the
high-frequency information does
interfere with word understand-
ing. Those affected are strongly
urged to have their hearing tested.
One key element in addressing
any hearing impairment includes
complete hearing testing by a
Board Certified Hearing
Instrument Specialist to deter-
mine the type and degree of an
individual's particular loss. This
is also the only way FAMILY
HFARING CARE CENTER
can help establish the most appro-
priate approach to addressing a
particular impairment. State-of-
the-art products, sophisticated
testing equipment, and compas-
sionate, personalized attention
await you al 534 Main Street
(Rt. 18). across from Ihe Stetson
Building in Weymouth. Call us
soon for a free heanng evaluation
al 781-337-1144. We accept most
HMOs. State GIC. Union
Benefits, and Mass Health.
P.S. Hearing instruments can
effectively help those with noise-
induced hearing loss lo make the
most of their residual hearing.

monthly meeting will he Monday.

By DAVE WEDGE
AKE PLACID. NY, -
Having spent the bulk of
my winters skiing the
tree-lined slopes of New England.
I figured it was time I checked out
upstate New York's legendary
Whiteface m site of the 1980
Winter Olympics. With nearly 2
feet of fresh powder having fallen
the night before. 28 degrees on
the mercury and the sun shining,
my first day on the "Face" was
about as gixxi as it gels. Locals
told me it was rare to have such
perfect conditions, but on this
day. from the peak, you could see
clear across Lake Champlain to
Vermont. So cloudless was it that
New Hampshire's Mount
Washington was visible in the
distance. I nearly had first tracks
on Skyward, a steep lift-line run
dotted with decent bumps under
mounds of fluffy powder. Ditto
on Approach, an equally steep but
narrower swath that cuts across
the face of the Adirondack
Mountains. There was little to
complain about until later in the
day when much of the powder
was either skied off or wind-
blown, in some spots revealing
bulletproof ice underneath. And
A view of Mirror Lake from the Mirror Lake Inn at Lake
Placid, /V. Y.
despite the snow dump, many
trails were still closed, including
the double black diamond off-
piste area known as The Slides.
The biggest bu/z kill, though,
was that because they had little
snow and warm weather before
our trip, the gladed areas were
unskiahle. Still, with 75 trails on
220 acres and a vertical drop of
Snowfalls outside the Mirror Lake Inn in Lake Placid, N. Y.

Shortly after lunch, my leg;

day checking out the stunninj

historical markers that tell visitor

as Phil Mahre and Austriar

Because Whiteface is a state-nu

ttle perfect way to cap the day. A
night, we rented skates for three
for just $9 and ice-skated at the
Olympic oval where speedskatei
Eric Heiden won his five golds ir
1980. There's also free ice skatinj
on Mirror Lake for guests of tlx
inn.
The following day, Danielle
enrolled in the full-day ski ant
play program at the Kid';
Kampus at Whiteface (SI KVwilt
rentals). She loved the "magk
carpet" conveyor belt to the top oi
the bunny slope and. with the hel[
of the friendly, energetic instruc

I spent some time watching
Danielle before exploring the

lunch at Boule's Bistro in tlx

reasonable, as tar as ski-lodgt
fare goes. A fresh turkey wrar
with vegetables was $7.95 while
chowder was $3.50. Many back
pack-toting locals opted insteae
to brown bag, with some break
ing out their own wine ant
cheese.
You can't visit Lake Placit
without feeling nostalgic abou
the glorious 1 980 Games, so tour
ing the former Olympics facilities
was a must. With the impressive
ski jumps looming nearby, the
original torch was lit on the sec-
ond day of our February visit ir
honor of the 25th anniversary oi
the Games. My daughter enjoyec
watching a youth hockey touma

where Jim Craig. Mike Eruzione
and the other "Miracle on Ice

able at www.orelaorg gets yex
into all the Olympic facilities
You also can ride the bobsled!
with a professional driver for $4(
or go it alone on a luge rocket ride
for $30, For the less adventurous
there is a toboggan chute down
town that sends riders shooting
across frozen Mirror Lake ($5 fin
adults. $3 children, $5 toboggar
rental).
For dinner. Jimmy's 21 offer;
excellent Italian fare in a lakeside
setting, while Northern Exposun

Though the normally five-houi
drive from Boston to Lake Placit
is longer than the ride to mos
major New England resorts, it'-
worth the effort. The rustic, small
town feel was only heightened by
the fresh snow that continued ti
fall throughout most of our stay
making it a wintry trip to remem
ber. As longtime local ant

Override vote
a sure thing
Ejollar figure is
ribt nailed down
i
< j*\
'. By Samantha Brown
* SAMBROWN©CNC.C0M
The School Committee has
i ofcd and will ask Town Meeting
lo approve S 1 2,869.447 as its bot-
lorii line fiscal year 20(16 budget,
winch will require passing al least
u $600,000 override.
This spring voters will have to
go-to the polls more than once, as
the override question will be on
the ballot during a special elec-
tion, at a date to be determined. It
won't be on the April 9 election
ballot.
The override question may have
three components, depending on
how Town Meeting votes other
budget items, including funding to
sewer the Little Harbor area of
town as well as an on-site
Wastewater Management Plan for
the town, which could both
require overrides of their own.
The Board of Selectmen has not
formally voted fo include a school
override question on the ballot,
but it has asked the school depart-
ment to provide what its budget
solution Would be. should the
override fail.
To give ihe topic more lime for
discussion, selectmen thought ii
prudent to postpone the override
vote, rather than include il on the
regular election ballot, scheduled
for April 9. Town Manager Bill
Griffin said holding a special elec-
tion could cost the town between
S3.000 and $5,000. He said if the
town does opt for a $600,000
school override, he would also
like to see an additional $40,000
What does a
$600,000
• For the owner of a
$670,000 home, it will add
30 cents to the tax rate, or
roughly $201.
• If the schools must pick
up the cost alone and it does-
n't pass, it could equal cut-
ting roughly 13 teachers.
• It is equal to the cost for
a new ladder truck for the
fire department which would
last more than 20 years.
• It could pay for the entire
Cohasset Elder Affairs bud-
get for roughly five years.
It could buy one replace-
ment cruiser for the police
department each year for the
added to the override figure,
which would cover money cut
from the school's maintenance
budget.
With an estimated $800,000 gap
between what Ihe school depart
mcnl says it needs and what the
town says it can afford to give the
schools, the School Committee
was forced to make some lough
decisions.
There had been a proposed
increase of 8. 1 percent, or roughlv
$981,000 for the school budget at
the outset of budget season. With
out-of-districl special education
tuition increases totaling roughly
$5 1 8.000 — or 4.3 percent of the
department's total budget —
which must be covered, the
School Committee was required

St. Stephen's
organist is
a real classic
i
G. Fredrick Gicasky of St Stephen's Church is no ordinun'
organist.
By Mary Ford
MF0RD©CNC.C0M
A cool guy w ith a great sense of
humor, who plays the church
organ — no way. you say .' Better
think again. Although, no one
could describe G. Fredrick
Gu/asky as an ordinary organist,
or St. Stephen's organ with its
3.108 pipes as typical, either.
But the two have made the per-
fect match, teaming up for the
past 10 years to create music that
reaches into your soul "It takes
your breath away." says Fran
Bumham of Atlantic Avenue,
who is a member ot Si
Stephen's.
Gu^asky is unapologetic ahoui
not having kept up with the times.
Case in point, he proudly holds a
music book. "Original

And Gu/asky talks about

such as Mo/an and Bach, as il
they are right in ihe nx>m. He
bemoans that "easy listening
dribble." which masquerades as
music, has filtered its way into
automobiles, homes and yes.
even churches.
In fact il was because Gu/asky
wasn't up-to-date enough thai led

Budget priorities could be reexamined
By Samantha Brown
SAMBROWNOCNC.COM
• The idea has been floated lo
reexamine the entire budget
from the bottom up. By giving
residents the opportunity to
dictate what it sees as priority
items, programs can be ranked
and funding allocated accord-
ingly, to ensure the town is
receiving the services it sees as
being most important.
The discussion comes on the
heels of the school department
announcing it will need an
additional $600,000 in order to
make ends meet, which will
most likely come in the form of
a Proposition 2-1/2 override.
Proposition 2-1/2 is the state
law that caps the amount a
municipality can raise its tax
levy from year to year.
Last year, the town approved
a $400,0<X) FY05 budget over-
ride which also went to help
fund the schools. Supt. of
Schools Denise Walsh says the
amount of money the school
department is being asked to
work with is not adequate,
which has caused discussion to
shift toward other departments
and whether they are being run
as effectively as possible, or
whether money could be freed
up to potentially cover expens-
es the town deems as being
more of a priority.
Currently, the town has pre-
sented a balanced budget for
FY06 which has not filled one
position from the Department
of Public Works, one position
on the fire department and
another from the police depart-
ment. The town planner posi-
tion has been reduced to one
day per week, one town hull
clerical position has been elim-
inated, and equipment and cap-
ital purchases have also been
put on hold.
The schiH)l has presented a
budget that would allow the
district to begin a new kinder-
garten program and a new inte-
grated preschool program —
both of which would generate
revenue for the school. The
budget also accounts for an
increase in athletic fees to fur-
ther help generate revenue.
Additional revenue is a must as
the school department is deal-
ing with a drastic increase in
special education costs for out
of district tuition, which it must
pay. Adding three new teach-
ing positions, including one
math teacher, was put on the
back burner.
However, two teaching posi-
tions funded last year by pri-
vate donations have been
added back into the budget
along with an additional
kindergarten teacher. A middle
school administrator position
has been increased to a full
time position, as has the cur-
riculum coordinator position.
There will also be a new high
school English teacher and
middle high school guidance
counselor added to the staff.
If recent meetings of the
advisory and schtxil commit-
tees are a gauge, the mainte-
nance budget could be the first
area to be looked at in terms of
efficiency. Advisory
Committee member Merle
Brown said in his opinion,
maintenance should be com-
pletely covered by the town
budget.
Brown said with new
Facilities Manager Brian
Adams on board, it makes
sense to have all money for
maintenance services "under
one roof " He said if the school
department needs some money
for various upkeep items, it
should be located in another
line item which is not called
maintenance to avoid confu-
sion.
"We need to get this straight-
ened out." he said.
Adams is responsible for all
town buildings, including the
schools.
Currently, the school depart-
ment has reduced its S5().(XK)
maintenance budget by
S40.000. leaving $10,000 to
cover any expenses it might
incur throughout FY06. Walsh
said Adams does need a budget
to cover small items, including
those mandated to be covered
Town picks up some school costs
The school department has
proposed a budget of almost
$13 million, which has led
many to believe the schools
make up roughly 40 percent of
the $30 million total budget.
However, tlie town covers a
good deal of costs on behalf of
the schools, and when those are
factored in, the school budget
increases to almost $18 million,
or 60 percent of the overall
budget.
In the recommended FY06
budget, the town has allocated
for the schools:
• $ 1 02.5 1 4 for administration
allocated per DOE guidelines
in its general government line
item.
• $208,028 under public
works, which is 50 percent of
the maintenance budget.
• $3,148,730 for debt ser-
vice.
• $1 ,463. 1 25 for benefits and
insurance for school employ-
ees.
• $524,605 for retired teacher
insurance and special educa-
tional assessment.
by the Department of
Education. Walsh said keeping
the $I0.(XX) in the school bud-
get under a different line item
would be a fine solution.
Police and fire cuts
In addition, it has been sug-
gested the police and fire
departments he further exam-
ined to see if they are running
as efficiently as they should be,
or whether there arc extras that
could be cut.
School Committee member
Rick Flynn said Cohasset is
one of the smallest towns with
one of the biggest and most
highly paid fire departments.
"Don't get me wrong, I like
the fire department, they're
great guys, and if my house is
burning down I hope they
come by," said Flynn. who
added that in terms of budget-
ing, it's "police, fire, and
schools. What else have you
got in Cohasset?"
During an interview after the
meeting. Director of Finance
Michael Buckley said the
police and fire departments are
short-staffed already. Buckles
said cutting members from the
fire department will have more
of an impact financially than is
currently being considered.
Buckley said when cuts are
made. "The last ones in are the
ones you have to cut." and the
most recent hires have all been
paramedics. Since South Shore
Hospital made the announce-
ment it would no longer be pro-
viding ambulance service to
towns on the South Shore,
Cohasset has been running its
own ambulance service, and
has been working toward its
goal of employing a full para-
medic staff. Currently, there
are enough paramedics on stall
that Cohasset is able to provide
— and bill for — Advanced
Life Support transport services.
Without ALS. a heart-attack
victim, for example, would
have to endure a 20-minute
ride to South Shore Hospital
before they were treated with
life-saving drugs. Paramedics
are able to administer those
drugs, as well as employ a
heart defibrillator.
Buckley said this year, the
fire department has been able
to increase its ambulance lees
because of the scrv ices it pro-
vides. and projected revenue
for FY06 is S270.IXX) If para-
medics are cut from the budget.
"We wouldn't have enough
paramedics to run ALS ser-
vice," he said.
Buckley explained Cohasset
would then be forced to either,
"completely lose ALS or bring
in a contractor to provide it."
he said, which could be costly.
Without its own paramedics
or a contractor, the fire depart-
ment would be forced to run a
Basic Life Support program,
which would not onlv reduce
the amount ol care those
responding to a call would be
able to administer, hut would
decrease revenue being
brought in by the ambulance
service. Buckley estimated the
reduction in revenue could be
as much as $120,000.
"In the end. you'd end up
paying more than you would
save." Buckley said.
Buckley said it is important
lo note, when looking at the
budget as a whole, there .ire
many items that are included
on the town side that are
school-related costs, with otic
of the largest being debt scr\ ice
lor the school construction pro-
jects. In addition, while the
stale pays for teacher and
administrator pensions, the
town pays for everyone else.
Buckley said. He added the
town pays lor all cinplovce
benefits, including pensions,
workman's compensation,
health insurance. Medicare
taxes, retired leas her* ' health
insurance, and beginning with
the FY06 budget, unemploy-
ment.
"We've pretty much stripped
down the school budget to edu-
cation costs." he said, aside
from the school department's
pay ing tor utilities.
Benefits lor employees of the
KLDS extended-da) kinder-
garten program .ire covered by
fees for the program through
the revolving fund, hut the
town pays benefits for the
employees of the school lunch
program. There has been lalk
about increasing lees lor
school lunches to help its
chances ol being full) sell-sup-
porting.
Advisory Committee member
Pat Waters said ihe town will
have lo make a political deci-
sion regarding how il would
like to see money spent, and
weigh the effects various deci
sions will have on both town
School Committee Chairman
Kick Shea said his committee
has presented a budget. "We

Shea said overrides are not

During the March H select-

"We present two budgets
because lhat's the way we're
structured to he set up. bul
we're all in this together," he
said.
Town Manager Bill Griffin
said Buckley has presented a
balanced budget that takes all
necessary increases into
account, hul has also reduced a
number ol items to make u
work "I know and understand
we are one lown. bul there are
certain sacrifices thai have
been made and should be con-
sidered." he said.
Griffin said it is important to

A final figure has been defer-
mined and Town Meeting will
vote on the fiscal year 2006 bud-
get in less than one month.
However, there is still one major
uncertainty that could affect the
numbers moving forward as the
school department says what its
fiscal year 2005 budget holds is
still a mystery.
Supl. of Schools Denise Walsh
slid there are live FY05 budget
categories the school department
has been watching very closely,
which have the potential to cause
a shortfall. Steps have been taken
within the budget including
reducing Staff and increasing ath-
letic fees, which will hopefully
make up for any funds needed.
Walsh said she is "cautiously opti-
mistic" she will have the neces-
sary funds to pay for any shortfalls
which do arise.
"We have a pretty good handle
on FY05," she said. FY05 ended
June 30. 2004.
This October. Walsh sent a
memo to Director of Finance
Michael Buckley, who at that
point was serving as Acting Town
Manager, which said there could
be a shortfall of close to $504000
for FY05. That figure was given
excluding the costs for OUt-of -dis-
trict special education placements
or potential legal settlement fees
the schools could incur. The fig-
ure also assumed Town Meeting
would vote to pay for two unpaid
school bills — a S93.O0O unpaid
Keyspan gas bill which surfaced
as FY04 came to a close June 30,
and $65,000 in unnudgeteii unem-
ployment costs.
Walsh said areas of concern
include special education tuition,
transportation fees, cleaning/cus-
todial services, tuition reimburse-
ments for professional staff, and
legal fees. While most of the
items were underhudgeted. tuition
reimbursements as well as col-
umn changes, totaling $125,000
had not been budgeted for at all.
According to the collective bar-
gaining agreement between the
School Committee and the
Cohasset Teachers" Association,
in order to receive reimbursement
for a class, "a teacher must apply
for and receive approval for a
course before April 15 of that
year." to give the department time
to add those figures into the bud-
get.
In addition, the collective bar-
gaining agreement provides some
time for the school department to
prepare, as it states. "All transfers
from one column to another in the
basic salary schedule become
effective September I and
January 31. following the date the
teacher qualified for such change.
To effect a salary change on
January 31. teachers will notify
the superintendent of their eligi-
bility for such change by the pre-
ceding November I."
Town Meeting voted to approve
paying the $93,000 unpaid
Keyspan gas bill for the schools,
as well as the $65,000 in unbud-
geted unemployment costs. Both
costs will need to be included in
the budget moving forward, and
Town Meeting decided it would
be best if the money was placed in
Reserve Fund, which would
require the Advisory Committee
to dispense funds as bills come in.
The School Committee will need
to ask for a Reserve Fund transfer
when it would like the money to
be released. Since Town Meeting,
the town has agreed to take on the
unemployment costs for school
employees beginning in FY06.
Since the fall. Walsh and the
School Committee have been
working to help make up the
potential shortfall costs within the
FY05 budget, but Walsh said it is
hard to gauge what might need to
be cut because there are still many
unknowns at this point. She said
so far, nine paraprofessional posi-
tions have been cut. two custodial
positions have gone unfilled, and
there has been an increase in user
fees for athletics. To ease athletes
into higher sports charges, the
School Committee voted to
increase fees to $125 per season
this spring with a $25 reduction
for those playing their third sport
of the year. Next fall charges will
be $150 per athlete per season,
with a $25 discount for the third
sport and a maximum charge of
$600 per family.
"Action has been taken, but that
number ($500,000) is still in
everyone's minds. We've been
given very little credit." said
School Committee member Rick
Flynn.
However, at the March 8 meet-
ing of the Board of Selectmen.
Walsh said the FY05 budget could
still be off by as much as
$200,000. She said there are cur-
rently a number of pending spe-
cial education cases which could
add as much as $200,000 to the
FY05 budget which are currently
unaccounted for. "1 can't guaran-
tee I won't come out in the red."
she said. Any outstanding costs
from the FY05 budget will need
to be voted on at the fall Special
Town Meeting.
Budget updates
The Board of Selectmen and
Advisory Committee have both
been asking for monthly budget
updates from the School
Committee. At a joint meeting of
the Advisory Committee and
School Committee Wednesday.
March 3. Walsh said her former
Confidential Financial Assistant
Karen Park "didn't have the
capacity in our accounting pack-
age to provide monthly reports."
Walsh said in order for Park to
make any kind of report, she
would need to plug information
into a spreadsheet which would
take a very long time. Instead.
Walsh said Park had been pulling
out and reporting the updated fig-
ures for the five areas of concern.
Park resigned from her position
Feb. 1 7 and Walsh said she is now
working with a new consultant.
Joe McDonald. McDonald
served as Business Manager in the
Middleborough school system at
the same time Walsh served as
superintendent in that district. He
began helping out in Cohasset
Monday. Feb. 28.
Walsh said in the short time
McDonald has been on the job, he
has been able to take a look at the
software package the schools
have been working with and was
able to meet with a representative
from the company, who gave him
some training in how to use it.
"He is now able to produce the
report we've needed all along."
Walsh said.
However. Walsh said she would
not be able to give the Advisory
Committee a copy of the generic
report until after the School
Committee has seen it. Walsh
gave the School Committee a
copy at its March 3 meeting, and
it agreed to send a copy of the
report to the Town Manager.
With the ability to produce
reports. Advisory Committee
member Bemadette Faulkner said
she hoped the school department
would be able to provide a solid
number for voters at Town
Meeting regarding what it might
be asked to help fund from FY05.
The town passed a $400,000 over-
ride for FY05 during the Annual
Town meeting last March and
subsequently at the ballot box.
That override went to fund the
schools.
"I don't mean to be evasive, but
I'll know better in a week." Walsh
said.

to take a look at cutting from the
remaining 3.8 percent.
Beginning with a proposed oper-
ational budget increase figure of
roughly $463,000. the School
Committee began looking at areas
which could be cut back, and was
able to take off an additional
$212,000. Proposed cuts includ-
ed:
• $40,000 for maintenance
• S40.IXX) from supplies and
materials, which it hopes the
Cohasset Educational Foundation
will be able to support,
although there is no firm commit-
ment.
• $30.«X) from the athletic bud-
get, which it hopes the local boost-
ers clubs will support, and will
potentially go toward funding
an athletic trainer position.
• $45,000 for one math teaching
position which currently does not
exist but it would have liked to
have seen added to the
department.
• $6,000 in textbooks, which
would have been used for the
classes the math teacher would
have taught.
• $51,000 in support staff

The idea had been floated to
include a $230,000 figure in the
budget as a potential Circuit
Breaker offset, but the School
Committee was unanimous in its
decision not to go that route.
"I'm definitely not for any high-
risk ante. It comes back to bite
you." said School Committee
member Adrienne MacCarthy.
Including the $250,000 in the
budget would have assumed the
state will reimburse Cohasset for
70 percent of its oul-ol-district
special education costs at some
point in the future, and would have
been a high risk option. The state
has not yet reported what it will
award various districts through its
Circuit Breaker program.
The state adopted a "circuit-
breaker" formula in June 2003. to
help fund out-of-district special
education costs for cities and
towns. The previous system,
called "50/50," had the town and
state splitting the tuition cost paid
for private residential special edu-
cation placements.
According to the Department of
Education's Web site, in 2004. leg-
islation was enacted to change the
program, which would provide
funds to school districts on a prior-
year reimbursement model. For
example, reimbursement to dis-
tricts in FY05 were based on their
FY04 eligible costs, and reim-
bursements in FY06 will be based
on their FY05 eligible costs.
Cohasset has included $68,000 in
its FY06 budget, which will be
awarded based on the town's
FY05 costs.
The DOE slates the change
gives two significant benefits, as it
eliminates the need for school dis-
tricts to file multiple claims during
the course of the year as had been
previously done, and it allows the
department to provide districts
with an accurate estimate of their
expected payments much earlier in
the fiscal year.
Under the circuit breaker sys-
tem, the state refunds up to 75 per-
cent over a base amount of
$32.<KX) for out-of-district costs.
Walsh said the $32,000 is charged
to the school, similar to a
deductible. She said because there
has been an increase of a little
more than $500,000 in special
education out of district tuitions
this year. Cohasset could receive
as much as $250,000 this year,
which will be included in the
FY07 budget but will not help for
the current budget situation.
However, the DOE site stales, in
recognizing the switch lo a prior
year reimbursement model could
create problems in districts such as
Cohasset which have a sudden
surge in out of district costs, the
DOE has been authorized to set
aside up lo $3 million in funding lo
provide supplemental assistance to
districts with significant increases
in costs. School districts will be
allowed to request funding from
that ptxil later this winter. The
DOE does not currently have an
estimate of how many districts
will be eligible.
By reducing the budget by
$212,000. the sch.x>l department
. is asking for a 6.3 percent overall
budget increase. Because the
department says the special educa-
tion costs are mandated by the
slate, il said its budget increase is
really 2 percent.
'Two percent. I think, is an
unbelievably low number." said
School Committee member Rick
Flynn.
However. Walsh said currently
negotiations are in process with
the teacher's union, and while she
said she is optimistic it will accept
a zero percent salary increase this
year, that will not be the case dur-
ing FY07. She said if the salary
increases had been included in this
year's budget, the overall increase
would have been more like 10 or
1 1 percent.
Moving forward. Walsh said she
is concerned the town will get the
message that passing an override
will be a one-year need for some
exceptional reason, and that is not
the case. In fact, she said in order
to continue offering the high level
of education Cohasset currently
does, it would require adding
roughly $700,000 to the school
budget each year. When salary
increases become part of the equa-
tion next year, she said that figure
could escalate to roughlv
$800,000 or even $850,000.

Tax Treasurer/Tax Collector Joe DiVito, who worked in Cohasset Town Hall for a total of X- 1/2
years, reflects on his lime in municipal government as' he changes career paths.
Treasurer/Collector DiVito
says goodbye to Cohasset
By Samantha Brown
SAMBR0WN@CNC.COM
With years of municipal gov-
emmeni experience under his
belt. Town Treasurer/Tax
Collector Joe DiVito has decided
it is time for a change, so he will
be conducting business from
atop a backhoe inslead of his
office at Town Hall.
DiVito said he is going to work
for his father 's construction com-
pany. Joseph A. DiVito Inc., and
he will also continue working as
, a real estate agent. Friday. March
4 was DiVito's last day at Town
Hall.
Returning to his lather's com-
pany means DiVito has come full
circle. He had never anticipated a
career in municipal government.
In fact, he said w hen he graduat-
ed f rom Bentley College in I WO
with a bachelor's degree in busi-
ness management, it was in
preparation for the job he was
slated to lake with his father's
company.
"I had anticipated doing it the
rest of my life," he said about
working w ith his father.
DiVito started working for his
father w hile he w as still in schtx.l
becoming a part of the crew dur-
ing the summer months. After
college graduation. DiVito said
his father was working with a
full-time, two-man crew. When
the winter hit. jobs weren't as
plentiful as had been expected
and DiVito had to find other
employment.
DiVito said he learned of an
opening at Cohasset Town Hall,
and "It seemed like the right time
for a change of scenery." he said.
The opening in Cohasset was
for a temporary part-time job in
the Assessor's office. DiVito
applied and was hired. The posi-
tion gradually progressed into a
full-time position, which DiVito
held onto for three years. 'That
got me involved in municipal
government." he said. From
there, looking to advance in his
career, he moved on to
Watertown. where he served first
as the Assessor, then as both
Assessor and Assistant Town
Manager.
However, the long hours cou-
pled with a three-hour round-trip
commute from his home in Hull
caused DiVito to eventually seek
employment closer to home. "1
wanted lo be home for dinner,"
he said, with his wife. Sherry and
their two daughters. Jacqueline.
10 and Elizabeth. 6-1/2.
DiVito then applied for the
position of Cohassel
TreasurerAiw Collector in 1999,
a post he had held ever since.
During the past year. DiVilo
also served as the Acting Special
Assistant to the Town Manager
for MBTA affairs. The town had
decided not to renew its contract
with the Waterfield Design
Group, which had provided an
ombudsman for the town to han-
dle Greenbush construction con-
cerns. There was a period in-
between where the town needed
someone to step in, until a per-
manent assistant could be decid-
ed upon.
In addition. DiVito served on
the Town Manager Selection
Committee screen candidates to
fill that position. The committee
whittled the applicants down to
three finalists, who were then
interviewed by the Board of
Selectmen. DiVito said during
the interviewing process, he was
very impressed with Bill Griffin.
who was ultimately chosen to
serve as Cohasset s top adminis-
trator.
"Seeing firsthand his managing
style has really impressed me."
said DiVito of Griffin who came
on board Jan. 31, adding he
regrets he will not have the
chance to work with him further.
He said all feedback he has
received regarding Griffin has
been positive, and he knows how
hard a transition it must be for
Griffin, who has come to
Cohasset in the middle of a "bud-
get cyclone."
DiVito said he'll also miss the
familiarity of his office and the
people he shares it with. "I love
the town. I love everything about
the job. especially the people I
work with. I have a top-notch
assistant and a top-notch payroll
and benefits person." he said,
referring to Linda Litchfield and
Kathleen Mulrain. "I'm ama/ed
al the amount of work they can
DiVilo said in his experience,
other town halls have many more
employees on staff to help with
the day-to-day operations.
However, he said even with the
limited staff he has. they always
gel the job done well. "They're
very procluctisc' and the\ know
their stuff," he said.
DiVilo said he is looking for-
ward to getting back into the con
sanction business, and said in
preparation, he recent!) attended
the Massachusetts Construction,
Landscape and Municipal Expo
(MASCON) at Ihe Boston
Convention & Exhibition Center,
However, "I know I'll miss
municipal government," he said,
adding perhaps he will join a
town board in Hull to stay
involved.
Bui DiVilo said he Won't rule-
out another role in Cohassel
should the opportunity present
itself. "I may come back again.
Ihe third time's a charm, right?"
he joked.

is a real classic
ORGANIST, PAGE 1
dance.
"In the Russian Orthodox tra-
dition, music and liturgy are
one," explains Guzasky. whose
grandparents were bom in
Russia. "In our church, every-
h thing is sung - nothing is spo-
Jken."
; To understand Guzasky 's pas-
I sion, one only has to go as far as
St. Stephen's sanctuary on a
Sunday morning during worship
services. The 106-year-old goth-
ic-style church building provides
the perfect home for the 5 8- rank
Aeolian-Skinner organ. (A rank
is a set of pipes representing a
particular sound). But the organ
| - which can best be described as
majestic - could not come alive
the way it does without the
Guzasky's superb skill honed
over a lifetime focused on classi-
cal music.
"I'm not just playing - it's an
act of worship," Guzasky
explains. "It's giving back to
God in a very special way."
But members of the public,
don't have to take Guzasky's
word for it. They can find out for
themselves in his upcoming per-
formance. "Organ Music Based
on Gregorian Chant." at 3 p.m.,
March 20 (Palm Sunday) at St.
Stephen's. The event is part of an
ongoing concert series now it its
1 4th year at the church. The con-
cert is free to all and so is the
reception afterwards.
Another St. Stephen's parish-
ioner. Ken Cook of Pond Street,
points out while the concerts are
well attended, the church is not
filled. "With a beautiful build-
ing, peerless organ, and great
programs - 1 can't understand
why the building is not packed."
Cook says.
To that end. St. Stephen's
hopes by spreading the word
about Guzasky. more people
will become "h<x>ked" on organ
music and enjoy the concerts.
Guzasky. himself, is the best
salesman for experiencing clas-
sical music, which he notes is
underappreciated in this part of
the world.
He explains people in Eastern
Europe can be starving but they
will still pay to go to a classical
concert. After a concert at the
Cathedral in Riga Latvia,
Guzasky recalls a woman saying
the experience moved her
deeply. "She said, T don't know
what to do with the rest of my
life after hearing your music.'"
Guzasky, who also gives con-
ceits in England and Russia and
is working on a trip to Poland,
knows well how great music can
be life altering. He became seri-
ous about music as a six-year-
old growing up in the Chicago
area. His father played the man-
dolin and saxophone and his
mother played the organ and
wanted to be a ballerina.
"I didn't have anything else,"
he says about his interest in
music. "But I knew it was some-
thing I wanted to do and nothing
could take the place of that." At
seven. Guzasky began his musi-
cal training at the American
Conservatory of Music in
Chicago.
Guzasky, who is also a teacher
of classical music and a compos-
er, says children today are over
scheduled. "My advice to chil-
dren is. do a few things and do
them well."
An adjunct professor at
Bridgewater State College.
Guzasky, who holds a Ph.D.. has
attended Harvard. Millikin
University. Northwestern and
Eastern Illinois University, com-
pleting his formal training with
doctoral studies at Boston
University.
In addition to writing and per-
forming classical music, he is
the author of the "Gregorian
Chant Handbook." and two
mystery novels. One, "'Murder at
Jordan Hall" has been published,
the other that is a thriller involv-
ing the Boston Police
Department is coming out soon.

April 27; and Ingrid Gutberg.
president of the Guild of Latvian
Organists, will play May 22.
The Very Rev. Clifford Cutler,
pastor of St. Stephen's, says
Guzasky has a remarkable spiri-
tuality nurtured in the Russian
Orthodox Church. ""It was a spir-
ituality to which the Anglican
Church turned during
Elizabethan times," Cutler says.
"The interplay at St. Stephen's is
very rich. On occasion 1 attend
choir practice and never fail to
come away with learning some-
thing new."
Guzusky, who lives in Maiden,
says his commute to Cohasset is
worth it. '"Now I need a life pre-
server in addition to a seatbelt,"
he quips about the struggles of
the Big Dig.
St. Stephen's, with its magnifi-
cent organ, is a place where
Guzasky feels at home. Even
with his hobby of writing novels
- music is his heart and soul.
"In my experience, there is
nothing to replace the spirituali-
ty of music in one's life." he
says. "Dostoevsky said. 'Beauty
will save the world.'
"Music is my offering to God.

Annual ASP festival
has sweets and music
By
S*^BBOWN#CNC COM
Saturday. March 19. music
lovers will be in for a real treat,
as an eclectic mix of performers
will be on hand for the fifth
annual Appalachia Service
Project Festival, to be held at
Cohasset High School. From
jazz to folk music to the well-
known a cappella group, the
Harvard Din and Tonics, there is
sure to be something for every-
one.
Each year since 1988 a group
of teens and adults from
Cohasset has taken a one week
trip to some of the poorest areas
of the country, volunteering
their time to make badly needed
home repairs. This year. ASP
will take volunteers to various
counties in West Virginia and
Kentucky.
Festival Chairman Linda
Keller said one of the highlights
of the Appalachia experience is
hearing local musicians on cul-
ture night, and the Cohasset
ASP hopes to bring that feeling
home this year.
"Every year ASP tries to share
our story with the community.
This year, we are making this
event similar to the community
gatherings in Appalachia." she
said.
In addition to the Din and
Tonics, of which Cohasset resi-
dent David Ingber is a member,
there will be other musical per-
formances including:
• The Brown Sisters
• CHS jazz band
• Caitlin O'Connell
• Ali Ritts and Dan Sylvia
• Janet Hoyler and Scott
Taylor
• Anne Chapman and Gary
Ritts
• Katie and John Campbell
Many of this year's perform-
ers have participated in ASP.
some rising up through the ranks
from students to adult advisor
and even on to center leader.
For those volunteering, partic-
ipation in the preparation for the
trip throughout the year is
required. In addition to a series
of workshops designed to pre-
pare the teens and adults for the
rigors of the trip, the group must
raise the funds needed to make
the trip possible, and the annual
Appalachian Festival is an event
everyone looks forward to.
As has become tradition, there
will be an Appalachian
Marketplace during the testis al
where items made by artisans in
the Appalachian region will be
on display and can be pur-
chased. Every year, crafts are
purchased by ASP in an effort D I
make an economic impact on
the region they will travel to.
To go along with the music,
this year there will be some
sweet treats available, as each
volunteer who will he going on
the trip has been asked to make
one dessert for the festival.
"Our theme is 'Family
Favorites'," said Keller. "With
the great cooks in this town, our
dessert buffet should be leg-
endary." she added
In addition to the food and
music, there will be a "teacup
raffle." which Keller explained
is an old mountain tradition.
Members of the community
donate gcxxls and sen ices to the
raffle and a teacup is placed in
front of each prize. Raffle tick-
ets are sold in strings of 5 . 10, or
I S and tickets are placed into the
teacups of the prizes you want to
win.
"We are trying to foster the
concept of "What can I doT' and
we are not asking any merchants
for prizes. Individuals who
believe in ASP are personally
donating items and we have got-
ten some very exciting prize
donations. There will be lots of
prizes and lots of fun." said
Keller.
"ASP brings out the best in
this community. When we
express a need, people come
forward and say. "yes." There
has to be something magic
about that! I hope people who
have always wondered about
this Appalachia Project will
come on the 19th. It is a real
celebration of what is good
about this community. It is
going to be good entertainment.
g<xid food, and good fun." said
Keller.

FROM COOK. PAGE 1
tind out what kinds of options
exist if the project is brought
down in si/e. He said it will take
many hours of research, hut he
would he willing to speak with
engineers from Coler and
Colantonio who conducted soil
tests on the site, as well as Jack
Dawley of Northland Residential,
the town the company is working
with to build on the site, to see
what kind of options can be enter-
tained. In addition, he said he
would meet with Health Agent Dr.
Joseph GodzDc who witnessed soil
testing to get his perspective.
However. Dormitzer said if the
committee is set on pursuing noth-
ing other than a 95-unit project,
and has no intentions of using any
of his research, his efforts will be
futile and his time could be well-
spent elsewhere. "I need to feel
like I'm being backed up." he
said, adding. "Clearly this board
didn't support me."
The town has been able to
secure an extension on signing the
purchase and sale for the Cook
propert) until April 30. 2005 to
give it lime to come up with a suit-
able wastewater solution for the
Cook Estate site. To date, no
progress has been made on the
issue, which is why the committee
was formed Feb. 22.
In addition to Dormitzer.
Selectman Ronnie McMonis.
Advisory Committee Chairman
Donna McGee. Sewer
Commission Chairman Ray
Kasperowicz. one member of the
Senior Housing Committee.
Town Manager Bill Griffin and
Town Counsel are all on the com-
mittee. When appointed, the
group was charged with finding
alternate solutions to enable the 95
units to move forward, as well as
any and all other potential solu-
tions for allowing some kind of
senior housing project to be built
on the site. Town officials agree
that seniors need more housing
options in Cohasset.
"If we're going to fall off a cliff
April 30," it is better to have
gained something rather than
nothing, said Dormitzer. adding if
the committee refuses to look at
anything but building 95 units on
site, there is the possibility nothing
will be accomplished. "We can't
be so rigid on this, or this is going
to die a natural death." said
Dormitzer.
Selectman Fred Koed, who
attended the second meeting of
the working group in Dormitzer 's
place, said one alternative way to
build the project would be to
break it down into two phases. He
said phase one could include
building a 60-unit project with an
on-site system on the Cook prop-
erty, followed by a second phase
which could look at further expan-
sion in the future.
Koed added if a second phase
can be completed, a legal agree-
ment could be worked out with
the Cook heirs to ensure if the pro-
ject brings in more money, they
would be "amply compensated."
One of the issues that would
arise if the project is completed in
two phases however, is whether it
would need to go back out to bid.
Koed said it is his understanding
that while the project did not have
to be put back out to bid when
plans for an on-site wastewater
system failed. Massachusetts pro-
curement law s would require it to
he sent out if it changes from 95-
units in one phase, to 60 with two
phases.

Rec. commission
says renovations

SAMBROWN»CNC COM
. — ' Improvements arc going lo be
\ made to Ihe Beechwood
; Ballpark, but jusi who will be
J responsible lor overseeing and
I critiquing plans could become an
j issue.
t Dick Barrow. 283 King St..
who has served on the
i Recreation Commission lor the
' past 26 years, said he is con-
* cerned the recent appointment of
I a committee lo discuss the polen-
; tial improvements to the site may
be cicumventing his board in an
I ar\a that should be under its
\ purview.
j Barrow said when looking
through the l%3 Town Report.
'- he found an article that clearly
.states his bt>ard has control over
all playgrounds in town. "I just
happened to run across it." he
said.
The article, which was number
31 that year, states. "The laying
out. use and control of play-
grounds in Cohasset... shall be
exercised by and are hereby
placed under the Recreation
Committee." Therefore.
Barrows believes any improve-
ments to the Beechwood
Ballpark should be made at the
discretion of his board.
The Recreation Commission
is represented on the Beechwood
Ballpark Committee, as Lillian
Curley is a member. Also on the
committee are Selectman Ronnie
McMorris. Advisory Committee
member Merle Brown, Water
Commissioner Glenn Pratt.
School Committee member
Adrienne MacCarthy. Francis
Sargent. Fred Siegal. and Lynne
DeGtacomo,
During the Dec. 6 Special
Town Meeting, residents voted
in favor of allowing the
Community Preservation
Committee to allocate 5>33.(XK) to
hire a designer for reconstruction
of the Beechwood Ballpark. In
light of the vote, selectmen put
the word out they were seeking
residents to participate in a com-
mittee to discuss what Ihe town
would like to see improved.
Selectmen said members of the
DPW. Recreation Commission
and other sports-related groups
would be involved as well 81 res-
idents.
In addition to the bylaw.
Barrows said there are other
problems with the committee as
it may have illegal members on
it. He said the town's bylaws
specify any member of the
Advisory Committee "shall hold
no other elective or appointed
office," which he said leads him
to believe Advisory Committee
member Merle Brown should
not be on the Beechwood
Ballpark Committee.
The Beechwood Ballpark
Committee is slated to meet
Tuesday, March 15 at 7 p.m. at
Cohasset Town Hall.

Fading winter
The way a crow
Shook down on me
The dust of snow
From a hemlock ate
Has given my heart
A change of mood
And saved some pan
Of a day I had rued.
- Robert Fmst
Before you know it recent snows will have melted into mem-
ory anJ spring will he in the air.
As w inter fades - and indeed, it will - we hope our readers
Ux)k lime this season to appreciate the splendor of it all. At
times, Cohasset covered in hlankeis of snow, has never heen
more beautiful.
Fur trees draped in white around town surely give the artist
within us pause. The sight ol youngsters rolling huge snowballs
into snow men. -.katuvj on the pond on the Common, or sled-
ding down the middle-high school hill remind us it's possible to
love winter.
Willi the spate of snowstorms this season, we'll admit to join-
ing in the shopping panic at the grocery store before the first
blizzard hit ihis past January, buying extra windshield-wiper
fluid, anil being so grateful we have a heavy-duty snow blower.
We've cursed the inconvenience of snow-filled sidewalks, and
have suffered from an occasional bout of cabin lever.
Except for the w inter of 1995-96 when the area received more
than UK) inches of snow, this has been the snowiest winter in
years. And according to sonic weather experts, the area has
endured a record number of consecutive days below normal in
temperature this past February. Tow ns. like Cohasset. have
depleted their snow removal budgets and with even more snow
arriving this week, spring still seems like an eternity away.
But there is hope as we head into mid-March. After all. how
much longer can Old Man Winter last'.' Isn't he running out of
steam, or should we say snow?
The much anticipated snow -drops are popping through the
ground, ami there seemed to be a definite whiff of spring in the
air earlier this week when temperatures positively soared into
the 40s — and we finally saw the sun. Somewhere the maple
sugar sap is surely running. Patience and a sense of humor are
called for as we endure a little more winter weather. Remember
what you learned in grade school — March comes in like a lion
and goes out like a lamb.
Even if we're hil with yet another storm, we'll hold up. More
bread and milk w ill be delivered to the shops, the mail will get
through, and streets will be passable again.
While w inter holds on. take a walk outside and look around.
Try to appreciate w hat nature has prov ided: an old-fashioned
snow y winter. Chat with your neighbor, lend a hand with your
shovel, slow down.
Remember spring is around the comer. Then surely some
hot. humid weeks will follow in summer and we'll be yearning
for tall.
" Weird, isn't it'.' Somehow in the dead of winter when its 40
below, so cold your words just freeze in the air, you think you'll
never hear a mbin 's SCftg again or see a blossom on a cherry
tree, when one day you wake up and bingo, light coming
through the mini blinds is softened with a tick of rose and the
cold morning air has lost its bite. It's spring once again, the
streets are paved with mud and the hills are alive with the
sound of mosquitoes. " — Diane Fniloy and Andrew Schneider,

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
No enough culinary choices
To the Editor:
Contrary to the main point of the pizza artiele
March 4. 1 don't find anything amusing or cel-
ebratory about tiny Cohasset being home to
live pizza spots.
First, because I've tried them all; one of the
very few differences I've discerned is that some
use fresh mushrooms while others use canned.
The menus, prices and products are extremely
similar. With due respect to the local business-
people who own and operate them, these places
are not turning out great or distinctive pizza.
None is as tasty as Pizzeria Regina in the North
End.
The second problem is equally obvious: We
have no Mexican food, no Thai food, no
Middle Eastern food, no great deli sandwiches.
No sushi. For Chinese, we have KoKo Eyesore,
which I've never entered because the building's
exterior is so off-putting. We have no other
Asian at all (until Feng Shui opens. Please.
God. let that be decent.) We have no barbecue.
No vegetarian fare. We don'l even have a good
clam shack.
In essence, for takeout we have nothing but
pizza, and very average pizza at that. It's a sad
slate of affairs. And don't even get me started
on the topic of adding another Dunkin' Donuts
to town. We deserve better.

Schools must stay within budget
To the Edttor:
I have lived in Cohasset since 1968. In all
those years the people have always supported
die spending requests of the schooLs. right or
wrong. This past week we heard that the school
system has another need for an override
because they cannot live within their (our)
means. Supt. Denise Walsh (Walsh) says that,
"..in a perfect world she would have an addi-
tional $700,000 every year in order to keep the
district moving forward."
We need sound management in the schools
and in all of Ihe Town's other departments. If
department managers cannot live within their
budgets they should be fired. The only reason
for exceeding a budget should be due to a cata-
strophic happening.
With regard to the schools, no outside prt>-
gram should be allowed unless all costs of the
program are covered, and not by the taxpayers.
The full-day kindergarten, the Summer pro-
grams that "rem" school space, and any educa-
tion program that is not part of the regular legal-
ly mandated programs in the schools for resi-
dents that are not totally reimbursing the Town
should be dropped or cancelled.
The number $600,000 without the circuit
breaker was mentioned for an override.
However, this would not include salary increas-
es. The final number will probably be much
higher and this won't solve the issue. Walsh
says that they must spend beyond their means
each year. This is totally unacceptable.
The school committee scralches their heads
because they won't make any tough decisions.
All they do. according to Rick Shea, is, " ..pre-
sent a budget we think the town will be able to
support"
The schools have put us deeply in debt with
their "improvements". Since that debt must be
paid we should be looking for cost savings in
the school budget. The school committee con-
tinues to transfer their costs over to the Town
side of the budget. Last year the Town voted a
school budget that eliminated three teachers.
However, a private fund drive was held and two
of the positions were filled. Private funds are
being used to pay for their salaries. Who is pay-
ing for their benefits and contributing lo their
retirement program? Who authorized these
expenditures to pay for the benefits for posi-
tions that were eliminated? How much was
spent? Who is accountable for expending our
monies when we didn't vote to spend it?
Are budgets being padded? On television
Merle Brown, an Advisory Board member,
asked why $10,000 was in a maintenance
account for ihe schools since all maintenance
was voted lo be centralized tor the Town?
Walsh staled the schools might need something
and they would want to do il themselves. Then
it was suggested thai the funds he moved out of
Ihe Maintenance Account and put in another
account so that the school could have their own
maintenance "slush" fund. This is deceiving the
taxpayers and padding a budget. It is obvious
that ihe schools do not want to be controlled
and ihey want lo spend and do whatever they
want and not what the voters of the Town
approve.
Where can the schools cut? After we have
cleared out all of Ihe outside non-mandated
programs lhal do not reimburse the Town at
least 100 percent of our costs we should ana-
lyze the management and administration of the
schools. We have approximately 1.500 students
so we don'l need four principals. We should
also look to eliminate wherever possible dupfi-
cation of positions in the various schooLs. We
should analyze every position and determine if
dial position is necessary or can some be spin
between the different buildings where possible.
With computers we should be able lo reduce
our administrative costs. Do we really need a
full-time business office manager at $75,000
per year? Are there other ways to meet our
needs in this are*? School system costs are
mostly in personnel that is why we must ana-
lyze the need for each and every position.
Advisory Committee member Pat Waters
stated Cohasset has the ninth highest tax rale in
the state. We only have approximately 2,900
taxpayers. The schools must realize that we are
not a bottomless pit of money. I say enough is
enough! No overrides! We must live within our
means or this beautiful town will lose many
life-long and long-time residents because of
uncontrolled and mindless spending.

Vernal pools: nature's rain garden
TO THE MARINER
I Last Tuesday, the Water Department proposed a
program which will go far 10 make the town self-sus-
Qining in terms of our water supply. The are under-
lying this project like hardheaded businessmen with
$eir eye on the bottom line. The program will ensure
| gradual but continuing upgrade of the quality of
^ohasset drinking water, but it offers considerably
more to those, who feel, they want the small-town
nature of the town preserved. One of the features of
the Water Department plan is to initiate a program
cnllt'd '"Low Impact Development." Essentially, this
i{ a plan to do something about the increasing prob-
Ipni of storm-water which promises to destroy much
cjf Cohasset\ bucolic beauty. We see signs all over
town of the impact on our water bodies of the addi-
Bon of so much impervious surface: bigger roofs, dri-
veways, parking lots, etc. These changes rapidly
deteriorate our streams, ponds and estuaries.
Also, last Tuesday the Conservation Commission
iked for additional protection to the town's vernal
rjools. a misunderstood element of nature's continu-
ing battle to lessen the impact of storm-water. The
two initiatives, by the Water Commission and the
ConCom have the same intent: to help preserve some
of those things which we love about Cohasset.
Construction on these sites is
being fully coordinated with
homeowners in the area and
other elements of town
government like the DPW.
The Water Department with its program of Low
Impact Development (LID)proposes to erect about
70 bioretention cells (rain gardens to the less techni-
cal) on town property around Clay Spring Road and
other sites where storm-water presents the most
pressing threat to our water supply. Construction on
these sites is being fully coordinated with homeown-
ers in the area and other elements of town govern-
ment like the DPW. These so-called rain gardens will
reduce the How of those casual discards of our soci-
ety such as oil. dust from tires, coffee cups, dog drop-
pings, etc.. from our roads, parking lots and drive-
ways into the ponds from which we take our water.
This is part of a much larger plan by federal and state
environmentalists to reduce the threat that storm-
water poses to our ever growing population.
Gone are the days where the environmentalist can
declare "don't touch it or go near it" The homeown-
er, not to mention the developer, will say "whs not.
it's my property," and he'd be right. Few initiatives
proposed by municipalities have the positive poten-
tial that the Water Department's LID program pos-
sesses to reduce the ever more harmful effects of
storm-water on our town's beauty and health.
The Water Department program emphasi/es those
places which pose the greatest threat to our water
supply, but the plan could be made to become a part
of a bigger effort to fight storm-water in the rest ol
town. From the milfoil in Lily Pond to the midges in
Straits Pond to the dead fish in Treats Pond lo the
fetid swamp that used lo be Mealy's Ice Pond, we
finally have a pattern lor the town to follow to clean
up some of the damage being done by our increasing
population. And it's not being done using the funds
which would otherwise go to schools and improve-
ments lo our infrastructure. It's from revenue which
the town is earning from one of its most precious
resources: clean water. You'll be seeing more of this
important program in a pamphlet now being pre-
pared for inclusion in your water bill.

New committees, new assignments
Robijtt HmtUND
THE HEDLUND REPORT Hfj

Ibk
The new 2005-2006 legislative session has
bmught some change to the committee structure on
Beacon Hill. A special committee was appointed to
fcview the Legislature's internal structure and rec-
ommend reform. The end result is that new com-
mittees have been created, some have been elimi-
IJaled and others have been combined. This is the
first major change in the internal structure of the
Legislature in nearly four decades.
- Overall, the number of Joint Committees, where
6olh Senate and House members serve together,
vvent from 1 9 to 26. However, the number of Senate
committees went from nine to four and the number
of House committees went from 1 1 to seven.
In total. I was appointed to six committees for this
legislative session. I will continue to serve as the
ranking minority member of the Transportation
Committee, where I have served for six terms now.
I will also remain on the Post Audit and Oversight
Committee. In addition. I have been appointed to
serve as ranking minority member on the following
committees for the 2005-2006 session: Housing:
Labor and Workforce Development; Public Service:
and Community Development and Small Business.
I am pleased to have secured appointments to
serve on committees whose issues are important to
my constituents and the South Shore.
The Transportation Committee remains
. unchanged and my service on the Transportation
committee will continue to be an important part of
This is the first major change in
the internal structure of the
Legislature in nearly four
my legislative efforts in addressing transportation
issues for my district Those efforts include continu-
ing to secure funding for critical road and bridge
projects, improv ing and keeping affordable our pub-
lic transportation system, and monitoring
Greenbush construction and mitigation.
The former Housing and Urban Development
Committee has been re-focused into two new com-
mittees, the Housing Committee and the
Community Development and Small Business
Committee. I will serve on both committees.
Affordable housing is no longer just an issue for the
poor an urban community. This split will allow the
Housing Committee to focus on the growing afford-
able housing demand facing both rural and urban
areas. Affordable housing is an issue that greatly
affects my district Having been a long-time propo-
nent of Chapter 40B reform. I am excited about the
opportunity to directly address those issues with this
committee assignment. In addition. I will have the
opportunity to also focus on the important issues
facing small businesses as a member of the
Community Development and Small Business
Committee.
The Commerce and Labor Committee was
renamed the I-abor and Workforce Development
Committee and the "commerce" issues w ill he cov-
ered by the new committees that locus on econom-
ic development. I l<x>k forward to addressing the
important labor issues facing the Commonwealth as
a member of the Labor and Workforce
Development Committee.
The structure of the Public Serv ice Committee that
I will now be serv ing on remains as it was last year.
The Public Service Committee considers issues a >n-
cerning the salaries, civil service and retirement of
public employees, as well as collective bargaining
for state employees and other public employees
This committee appointment is important to me
because it will allow me to directly address the
important issue facing public employees.
It is an honor for me to serve as your Stale Senator
in the Massachusetts Legislature, which is the oldest
functioning legislature in the United States. This
year the General Court (that is what the State
Legislature is formally called in Massachusetts) cel-
ebrates its 375,n anniversary .
As of the time this column was written, thousands
of bills have been filed and are wailing to he given
a bill number and to be assigned to a committee. The
process has been slightly delayed given the restruc-
turing of the committees. Each bill will then have a
public hearing scheduled in front of the respective
committee.
If you have any questions or comments on a spe-
cific piece of legislation, please do not hesitate to
contact my office at 617-722-1646.

Keep a look out for our local llama wrangler
ON THE WILD SIDE
June Freedman
m
Ever since our honeymoon in Ecuador and Peru
many years ago. my husband Bob - the llama
walker - has had a particular fondness for this
member of the camel family, genus lama species
• lilamu. or camelidae L glumu. I have chosen not lo
dwell on (he timing of this affinity. It is easy to
understand how one can be captivated by the
benign expression, large, limpid eyes and long
lashes of this animal, particularly when encoun-
tered among the fascinating and other-worldly
ruins of Machu Picchu.

Cars stop to have a better look,
questions and rub noses, one of
the llamas' more friendly
gestures.
In South America llamas are domesticated ani-
mals. Males over 3-1/2 years of age are used as
pack animals, and the females are used for breed-
ing and furs. Llamas have no hump, and they can
carry up to 100 pounds each for 15 to 20 miles a
day They are very sure footed on mountain trails,
but ihey do have a mind of their own. If the llama
feels the pack is loo heavy or he has worked
enough, it will lie down with his front legs under
him, and refuse lo move.
. In this country, the llama is known as the "poor
Oman's horse." It is a hardy animal and lives on low
! growing shrubs, lichens and other plants. It gets
much of its moisture from green plants, and it can
live for weeks without water. The llamas Bob
walks belong to the New England Wildlife Center
in Hingham. Bob, as a volunteer at the Center, of
course chose to walk Chester (chestnut colored)
and Dexter C D" for darker colored). (We are at the
iage when mnemonics help.)
! Once Bob mastered the technique of harnessing
!the llamas for their walks outside their pen, they
; proved to be very cooperative, since they look for-
>ard lo sampling the vegetation growing along the
I trail. In fact, they now seem lo recognize his voice
'on approach. Bob has never experienced the well-
known defense mechanism of the llama: spitting

foul smelling, greenish, slimy saliva into the face of
his enemy when angry or under attack. I imagine
that could extinguish the most passionate love for
llamas!
But being a llama walker does have other perils,
namely unleashed, threatening dogs thai can startle
the llamas and cause them to bolt. One otherwise
peaceful Sunday afternoon. Bob returned home to
appear before me in the guise of a 6-foot elemen-
tary-school skate boarder, with bandage patches on
both elbows and knees. A dog had startled Chester
and Dexter from behind, and they took off sudden-
ly at a fast trot, knocking down Bob and dragging
him along on his belly until he let go of their ropes.
He now knows when lo let go — right away!
The llamas have escaped from their pen when not
closed securely to wander unsupervised at other
times. Fortunately. Hingham animal control is quite
familiar with them and cooperative in helping them
be returned lo their pen.
The sight of two llamas walking together; alone
or with an escort, is quite fetching for most people,
and Bob has made many new acquaintances
through Chester and Dexter. Cars stop to have a
better look, and walkers approach lo ask questions
and rub noses, one of the llamas' more friendly ges-
tures. Little children are sometimes wary of their
size, but usually in time they are also won over by
their benign looks and demeanor. The llamas are
very photogenic, and by now their images have
been taken home by many a fellow walker.
So if you should see Bob. the llama wrangler, as
he prefers to be called, out for a stroll, stop and say
hello. A few minutes with these pacific animals will
calm your spirits and put a smile on your face

QUESTION OF THE WEEK- SELECTMAN
For the selectman candidates
Will incorporating a schedule to
sewer Utile Harbor into a poten-
tial Third Amended Final
Judgement help or hurt the town?
And do you believe that decision
should be made by the Board of
Selectmen or Town Meeting?
SELECTMAN/
Debbie Shadd
The Little Harbor neighborhood
should he sewered. The residents
of the area have been waiting for
sewers since at least December
1998 when the Town and the State
executed a Joint Motion for
Modification of the 1997 Second
AflMfldsd Final Judgment. The
Town is committed to this project.
Since 2(X)2 the Town hat spent
nearly $500,000 lo plan the pro-
ject. Environmental concerns for
the watershed require that the job
gel done. The Sewer Commission
needs lo finish developing con-
struction plans, obtain firm cost
estimates and present a proposal
to a future Town Meeting. The
Town will need to budget for the
project through a bond issue as
other bond obligations are retired.
The Town should not put itself
at risk by agreeing to amend the
Second Amended Final Judgment
unless it is absolutely necessary to
avoid stale penalties or the Town
receives significant benefits for
the change. Any amendment that
would include strict deadlines for
the completion of the Little
Harbor project would impose
obligations on the Town not cur-
rently existing and give the Stale
additional leverage in any negoti-
ations concerning our progress lo
dale on this project The Town
cannot afford to pay substantial
fines without harming our ability
to proceed with this project while
still funding our entire Town oper-
ating budget. We must avoid
potential fines by proceeding with
this project deliberately and in
good faith to bring necessary sew-
ers to the area.
Finally, any proposed change to
the Second Amended Final
Judgment should be presented to a
future Town Meeting for approv al
since Town Meeting approved the
signing of the original Agreement
for Judgment in 1980, the
Amended Final Judgment in 1994
and the Second Amended
Judgment in 1997. The Town
Meeting votes committing to this
project should be implemented by
our Sewer Commission.
Gary Vandemeil
The argument for not including
the schedule is that it could reduce
the town's flexibility to deal with
uncertainties in future taxation,
state funds, and town priorities.
On balance, however, I think that
incorporating the schedule would
be an advantage to the town. I
would link the schedule to the
receipt of slate school building
reimbursements, so that if the
reimbursements, necessary to
make room in our debt service
payments for the sewer, are post-
poned, we could postpone the
sewer installation accordingly.
The main advantage gained by
incorporating the schedule is cer-
tainty for 450 homeowners thai
this is a real project Other major
advantages: ( 1 1 Title V amnesty
for real estate transactions prior to
installing the new sewers. (2)
Having a date-certain for long
overdue environmental improve-
ments to our waterways. (3)
Because the project will become
incorporated into a Judgement, il
will receive higher priority for low
interest loans, saving us money.
When on the sewer commis-
sion. I participated in creating and
living with binding schedules; e.g.
schedules for the Hull
Intermunicipal Agreement and die
North and Central Cohasset sewer
systems. Based on this experience
I have no qualms about this kind
of a commitment The key to liv-
ing with binding agreements like
this is to understand ahead of time
what the issues and risks are and
lo deal with them in creating the
binding agreement
As lo who should decide, the
Selectmen or Town Meeting. I
believe the Selectmen should,
since they are the signatories lo
the Judgement But if the
Selectmen make the wrong deci-
sion (i.e.. not in accordance with
the sense of the townspeople), one
ot our great checks ;ind balances
is the Town Meeting, and I would
hope that the decision would be
corrected there.
FredKoed
Selectmen aren't elected lo set
sewer policy for the Town, the
Sewer Commissioners are.
Creation Of new sewer districts,
like Little Harbor / Atlantic
Avenue, needs to he voted on by
Town Meeting acting on pro-
posals from the Sewer
Commission.
I am concerned by efforts of
some of my colleagues to sec-
ond-guess the Sewer
Commission. During past nego-
tiations with the Slate, the Sewer
Commissioners have managed
the process. That is their elected
duty.
Sewer capacity of the Town is
the property of O lha&sei laxpas -
ers and ratepayers lhal have
funded the facilities we have
today. I am opposed to the idea
that we should extend sewer to
Avalon. Cedarmere. the C ook
Estate, or any other develop-
ment before all sewer needs of
existing residents are met
I applaud the Zoning Board of
Appeals for ruling this week that
Avalon cannot hook up loTown
lewer. We must meet our oblig-
ations for affordable housing
with our own solutions. Town
services. particularly our
Schools, would be negatively
impacted if Avalon were built.
We should not enable such neg-
ative impacts with public sewer.
The Little Harbor pollution
problem is a problem for the
entire Town — a problem that
Ihe Tow n legally has the respon-
sibility to solve.
Putting a schedule for the
sewering of Little Harbor /
Atlantic Avenue into the Third
Amended Judgment is the right
thing lo do. Doing so will help
Ihe Town avoid fines from the
Slate, give amnesty to residents
of the Little Harbor area from
mandated Title 5 upgrades, and
make Ihe Town eligible for low-
interest construction loans. Such
an agreement will cement the
priority of access lo sewer for
residents, rather than lor devel-
opers.
We need to further develop a
sewer master plan lor the town
to determine how eventually all
necessary areas can he sewered.
QUESTION OF THE WEEK- SCHOOL COMMITTEE
For the school committee can-
didates: Tuition-liased, full-day
kindergarten has been floated as a
way to raise revenue for the
schools. Share with us your
thoughts on charging tuition for a
public school pwgrtun such as

with the Osgood Principal, as well
as a number of teachers and par-
ents. I have come to the conclu-
sion that a full-day. tuition-based
kindergarten program is a tremen-
dous idea. This program has been
met with very favorable support
and enthusiasm from parents and
educators alike. The potential rev-
enue generated from this program
could be significant. The class-
room size will not exceed 20 stu-
dents, and there is ample class-
room space. 75percent of the
families who have registered their
children for kindergarten as of
March 1 . 2005. indicated that they
an interested in enrolling their
child in a full-day program.
Cohasset is also committed to
offering a half-day program to
those parents who feel that a
full-day is not appropriate for
their situation.
Tuition-based kindergarten is
clearly the only viable answer to
Cohasset's need for a program of
this sort. The town cannot afford
to pay for such a program at this
time, and the state is offering only
a negligible amount of funding for
it. Therefore, if the parents are
willing to cover tuition, this is cur-
rently the only viable option for
our students. Additionally, future
fundraising efforts may assist in
defraying these expenses.
Some findings the Cohasset task
force discovered were: Children
have greater academic and social
success in school; there are fewer
grade retentions and special edu-
cation placements (potentially
saving our town future expendi-
tures); full-day kindergarten chil-
dren perform better than half-day
kindergartners and are better pre-
pared for the transition to first
grade; parent involvement
increases; teachers prefer a full-
day format that reduces transition
time and provides more time lo
cover content in a more meaning-
ful way; and children score higher
on achievement tests.
SCHOOL COMMiTTEE
1-YEAR/Lee Jenkins
I'm fundamentally against pub-
lic schools charging taxpayers for
public education. If it's a "neces-
sary" program, taxpayers should
pay for it
Before supporting such a pro-
gram. I'd need to see its budget
and curriculum plus know the
educational philosophy behind it.
Is the tuition proposed
(SlWXVyr.) truly covering pro-
gram costs? Will the classes be
integrated (inclusion) and have
sufficient stall'.' The nationwide
models for these classes indicate
the need for 2 teachers. I regular
and I SPED plus 2 TAs. Increased
personnel needed lo adequately
expand K and Prc-K isn't indicat-
ed in Ihe proposed school budget
Since our educators are looking
only toward Ihe preparation for
first grade, what opportunities will
be provided for the exceptional
child who presents an unad-
dressed need in our particular
community?
According to the school budget
the new full-day class sizes will be
increasing from lfi.6 to 20. How
is lhal complying with our educa-
tion iheory?
Full-day kindergarten has suc-
cessfully been implemented in
low-income districts nationwide
to impart necessary skills unable
to be provided by parents. Test
scores from those same minority
communities with free lunch pro-
grams saw a marked increase in
subsequent scores. Alternatively,
moderate-income Midwestern
school districts studies found "no
clear differential effects of kinder-
garten schedules' on either acade-
mic achievement or classroom
social behavior.
In almost all cases, educators
and parents alike opine thai live-
year-olds involved in full-day
kindergarten programs become
over-tired and stressed, missing
out on learning opportunities
which can be gained only through
the home environment
If this program is largely about
conveniently providing childcare
for working parents, the schools
already provide it on a fee basis -
called KEDS in Cohasset
And so. parents and educators
must ask themselves: what rele-
vance and financial impact would
this program have for Cohasset'.1
SCHOOL COMMiTTEE
3-YEAR/Alfred Slanetz
All of ihe stakeholders — tax-
payers, teachers and parents —
will have to make contributions to
achiev e our common goal of pro-
viding an excellent education for
our children. Payments are cur-
rently made by parents for athlet-
ics. KEDS. lunches, textbooks
and field trips and proposed for
full-day kindergarten and
preschool. While I do believe that
all children should have access to
any thing the school offers without
regard to ability lo pay. payment
for a share of Ihe services by the
users of a program is belter than
not having the program at all The
tuition lor preschool and kinder-
garten is based on a sliding fee
scale lor families with limiled
income. Even at ihe full tuition,
it's still a lot less cosily lo parents
than private school. As we
improve Ihe educational program.
I believe lhal il is fair and equi-
table for a portion of the cost to be
paid by Ihe benelicianes.
Thai said. I am concerned that
Ihe full-day kindergarten program
has not been thoroughly designed
and adequately presented to the
community before taxpayers and
parents are asked to pay. While
full-day kindergarten is education-
ally superior lo hall-day. it is a
shame lhal we are not taking this
opportunity lo fully opumi/e the
quality and richness of the pro-
gram As parents arc pay ing for a
portion of these services, the
school must become more
accountable and detail precisely
what the program will offer and
what Ihe quality will he. so thai
parents can make informed choic-
es for their children.
I will work hard over the next
three years with my school com-
mittee colleagues and the
Superintendent to assure lhal we
are more thoughtful, innovative
and transparent in the w ay that we
design new programs before they
arc implemented All Future pro-
grains approved should also
include optimal upgrades in edu-
cational value

Girls hoops
. players, coaches
j: reflect on strong
season, look
iihead to next year
By Evan Deutsch
CORRESPONDENT
Head coach John Levangie sei
out last fall on a mission: 10
build and protect the confidence
of his Lady Skipper players.
He succeeded hands down,
walking away with a 12-9
-record and an invitation to the
Jpiv. 4 state tournament. So what
four decisions did Coach
Levangie make to put player
confidence front and center'.'
He picked responsible cap-
tains who could inspire their
teammates. He inspired each
learn member to reach beyond
their comfort /one of play. He
rolled out a logical set of defen-
sive and offensive play strate-
gies. And he surrounded the
practice lime w ith a knowledge-
able grouping of hand-picked
assistants - Kay Long, Matt
Salerno. Joe Campbell, and son
Jack Levangie.
The success of this season
started with the captains: seniors
Nicole Whitney and Casey
Anderson. From day one of the
preseason to the final buzzer in
Roxbury. they inspired their
underclassmen.
Coach Levangie expressed
enormous satisfaction with
Nicole and Casey's leadership.
They led by example." he
said. "Neither captain ever
missed a practice or a game.
Nearly every player participated
in all of the practices and
games."
Said junior forward Mia Lieb-
Lappen. "They encouraged us
all to adopt good work ethics.
Their leadership proved crucial
to our success this season."
"If the giris want
to compete with
other teams in our
league, they need
to work year-
round at their
game. If the self-
discipline and
motivation are
tJBcr©« I tliink the
girls will do
Head coach John l-evaneie.
In the many interviews with
the Mariner over the season,
every player voiced good things
about their coach, too. They
found him easy to work with
and his knowledge of the sport
unending. Levangie will likely
return next year.
Injuries plagued the team this
year. When junior Chelsea
Grossman and Lieb-Lappen
went down, the team could have
folded. Instead. Levangie used
the setbacks to elevate the play-
ing time of his reserves.
Sophomore I-aeey Richardson
reported for duty in a forward
position. Freshmen Meg
Anderson signed in as a point
guard. JV player Haley Harac/
received the nod from Coach
levangie lo step onto the varsi-
ty team. She managed to hit a
pair game-winning free throws
against Hull to clinch the team's
tournament berth.
As the season progressed, the
confidence level of the girls rose
to new heights. So. too, did their
win tally.
Through the first half of the
season. Casey Anderson would
amass huge point totals, but her
teammates scored in the single
digits at best. As the point totals
balanced out among many of
the players, the number of victo-
ries increased.
Whitney says it was a matter
of the team's confidence grow-
ing as the season progressed.
""Our confidence helped us to
pump up both or defensive and
offensive games." she said.
"Our fast breaks were a strong
point in our scoring. Also, our I -
2-2 defense seemed to work
well."
After such an upbeat season,
it's easy to get caught in the
moment. Both the coach and his
players reali/e. however, that
the 2005-06 season starts now.
They deal) face some obsta-
cles.
One remains outside shooting.
The team never clicked in this
key part of the game. Levangie
knew that high scoring games
spelled trouble for Cohasset. so

Wait 'til next year
Cohasset hockey eyes return to postseason in 2006
By Mark Goodman
MGOOOMANSCNC COM
As hard as they played and as
much adversity as they fought
through this season, the Cohasset
hockey team's plight can be
summed up in one fact.
They did not score enough
goals.
The Skippers' 9-11 record, and
consequent missing out of post-
season play, can largely be attrib-
uted to the fact that, too often,
good scoring chances were
squandered.
The situation was at its most
glaring in the last game of the
year against Norwell. Needing a
win to get into the Div. 3 South
sectional, Cohasset out-shot their
opponent, but the Clippers took
better advantage of their chances
10 come away with a 3-2 win.
Cohasset head coach Ben Virga
also pointed to this fact: his team
went 8-0 against opponents that
did not qualify for postseason
play, and 1-11 against those thai
did.
"Bill Parcells used to say. 'You
are what you are. " Virga said
Wednesday. "And if you're 1-1 1
against tournament teams, you
might not be a tournament team
yourself."
Cohasset had many significant
injuries and other personnel
issues to deal with all season
long, not to mention the snow
postponements that left eight
games to be played in 12 days.
The team's final three games
were played in four days, and the
team was pretty gassed by the
time it had to play Norwell on
Feb. 21.
Taking all that into considera-
tion, it is pretty remarkable that
the Skippers even got inio the sii-
uation where it had a chance to
play one game for a tournament
berth. And lei us not forget, they
started out 4-8.
The Skippers were playing
their besi hockey in the last two
weeks of the season, and part ol
that is due to several younger
players showing improvement
after logging major minutes on
the ice.
"1 think we've laid a pretty
good foundation for the future."
Virga said.
The coach is excited about
whal he currently envisions as his
first line for 2005 -On. Brian
Straughn. who scored a team-
high 13 goals while playing on

March Madness:
Sixers win at

The Cohasset Sixth Grade Girls
Travel Basketball team also

girls then fell inlo an offensive
funk, going scoreless for almost
the entire rest of the half, as
RockJand eventually moved out
to a 13-10 advantage.
The Sixers picked up their
defensive intensity in the waning
minutes in a desperate effort to
gel back into the game, but
despite their best efforts, a come-

cards for the Blue & White, who
were unable to manage any sem-

he always encouraged ihe
Skipper defensive machine to
squash Iheir Opponents. You
can u Mini on Levangie lo make
perimeter shooting a big part
of his agenda lor next year.
Another problem lies in the
departure of Anderson and
Whitney, as both Will graduate
in June. Cohasset will sorely
miss Anderson's outstanding
shooting from Ihe paint.
Levangie believes, however,
that Grossman. Katie James,
and others will compensate for
her loss 10 the team.
Levangie said Whitney was
"the best defensive player in
the league." Nevertheless.
Coach maintains that the
Skipper defense will remain
strong again next year.
"The off-season is extremely
important." said Levangie "If
the girls want to compete with
other teams in our league, they
need to work year-round at
their game. If the sell-disci-
pline and motivation are there.
I think the girls will do very
well."
He does not envision the
2005-2006 as a "rebuilding" or
"starting from scratch" sce-
nario. He can count on several
players returning next fall. The
same could be said for rivals
Carver and Norwell.
Levangie suggested some
options for the girls to keep
their game tuned in the off-sea-
son. He recommended a week-
ly shooting clinic at the high
school. He also advised partic-
ipation in AAU basketball or a
summer league.
When asked who will captain
the squad next year, he
remained tight-lipped. He said
he has not yet decided, and he
will make his wishes known
next season.
The girls will wrap up the
season when they join the
other Cohasset basketball
teams at the Booster Club
night dinner on March 16 at
the Cohasset Harbor Inn.

South Shore League. In addition
lo Davis's four points. Quigley 's
bucket, and Haggerty's four
points on ihe night. Eliza
Kinnealey provided a huge
spark for Ihe Cohasset girls with
four points on two nice hoops in
ihe firsi half.
The Cohasset girls also played
two other games in the past two
weeks:
Cohasset 7, Halifax 4
After a layoff of 10 days,
sharpness was not the rule of the
day when the Sixers took on
Halifax at the CHS gym on Feb.
27. The Blue & White girls had
played their finest basketball of
the season in a pair of close loss-
es to league-leading Abinglon
and second-place Duxbury (the
latter in triple overtime) two
weeks previously, bul the rust
and lack of basketball condition-
ing lhanks to the President's
Week vacation was evident from
the many errant passes, off-lhe-
mark shots, and overall lack of
timing in the girls' play.
So the bad news, so to speak,
was thai ihe Blue and White
ended up with their lowest offen-
sive output of the season, a mere
seven points against a Halifax
team on which they had scored
16 earlier this year.
But the good news was that
Halifax managed just four points
and were shut out in the second
half by a tight Cohasset 2-3 zone
defense, enabling the Sixers to
eke out a 7-4 victory.
Cohasset forward Kate
French proved to be a one-girl
wrecking crew, scoring all seven
of her team's points, including a
clutch free throw in the waning
minutes that boosted the Sixers
into a two-score lead (in as much
as Halifax had shown no capaci-
ty for making a three point shot)
to seal the w in.
Cohasset and Halifax had
played to a 4-4 deadlock at the
intermission, but a basket by
French on a Cohasset "30 play"
- a pass from guard Emma
Quigley at half court to center
Carli Haggerty at the top of the
key and then to French as she cut
toward the hoop from the left
wing - at the start of the half
gave the Sixers a lead they were
not to relinquish.
Norwell 23, Cohasset 10
The Blue and White hosted
Norwell in the final regular sea-
son contest this past Sunday with
nothing on the line in so far as
playoff position because
Cohasset and Norwell were
locked into a playoff meeting
regardless of the outcome.
So with the Cohasset coaches
deciding not to play their usual
defensive and offensive forma-
tions so as not to give away any-
thing to Norwell. the Sixers were
off their usual game, especially
on defense. Haggerty led
Cohasset with five points.
French hit a bucket, and Quigley
sank a three pointer ( her fourth of
the season) to account for the
Blue & White's offensive output.
Now the Cohasset girls are off
to Carver for their quarterfinal
playoff meeting with Norwell
tonight. If successful, the Sixers
will advance to the semis at
Weymouth tomorrow with the
finals also set at Weymouth on
Sunday.

emerged as one of Cohasset \
best forwards down the stretch,
and Bouchard showed at times
he can be a potent goal-scorer.
Virga says this line has the
chance to emulate the first line
of this year's Harwich club, all
three of whom had over 30
points this season.
Cohassei will also return a
number of its top defensmen,
including Conor Holway and
Brandon Smith. Holway estab-
lished himself as one of the lop
hitters in the South Shore
League. and noticeably
improved his puck-carrying
skills as the season went on.
Smith, meanwhile, missed the
first two months of the season,
yet stepped righl in to play
almost every other shift and
played well in doing so.
"I wouldn'l trade Conor and
Brandon for any Iwo defense-
men in the South Shore
League." Virga says. "They will
be ihe best in the league next
year. Wilh those two and Zach
Murray and Charlie
C/erkawski behind them, we
have four very solid defense-
men."
Other players who showed
promise this season include Pal
Doonan. Corbin Faber. TJ
Kennedy and Dan Sullivan.
The Skippers will lose six
seniors lo graduation, including
four captains. The captains
were Ted Straughn (team's
leading scorer. 7-18-25). Joe
Durkin. Tim Pilc/ak (third-
leading scorer. 7-8-15) and
Crandon Leahy. The other
seniors are goalie Brendan
Michaud and Mark Donovan.
"I'm going to miss these
seniors, and I'm going to miss
some great captains," Virga
said.
As for next year's captains.
Virga is keeping his options
open The coach says il will nol
automatically be seniors; it will
be whomever puts the work in
during the off-season to become
better hockey players.
"1 don't care who plays or
who Ihe captains are; I just want
hockey players," Virga said.
"The first Iwo months of the
season cannot be training
camp."
Most of the kids on the team
play multiple sports, and Virga
does not w ant thai to change.
"I encourage them to play
other sports." he said. "Bul you
can still play hockey one night a
week, and during the summer.
You can play on Sundays dur
ing the fall and still play foot-
ball"
Will the extra effort be made,
and if so. will il pay off? We'll
find out next November.

PATRIOT LEAGUE WRAP UP
Editor's Note: The report of
the boys travel basketball
teams' season-ending games
with Halifax will appear in
next w eek 's Mariner.
The Boys Patriot League
Travel Basketball teams deliv-
! ered some very spirited action
in their final four regular sea
son outings.
In far away Bridgewater. the
Sixers struggled early in the
game as Bridgewater led by
one at the nine-minute mark.
But the momentum shifted
quickly as Robert Jones alert-
ly picked off a pass and fed
Sam Richardson for a bucket.
Anders Goetz was a thorn in
Bridgewaler's side as he forced
five consecutive turnovers,
which led to scoring opportuni-
ties for Cohasset. Yes. this was
now looking like the 6th grade
squad that has dominated the
league.
Gabe Seksay blocked a shot.
Jack Carrier controlled the
defensive boards. Seksay and
Richardson, with nothing but
sheer aggression, continued to
gel scoring opportunities.
Cohasset was in the lead but
Bridgewater came back and
tied the game with 3:21 left in
the first half. Cohasset's shoot-
ing went cold. This was unfa-
miliar territory. Seksay then
blocked a shot and fed a streak-
ing Jones for a score. But BW
battled back and led at the half.
21-19.
The second half started with
Jones draining an outside
jumper that was all net. Derek
Youngman converted a steal to
a fast break for Jones followed
by a Richardson to Youngman
bucket. The game was tied
with six minutes left. It was a
dog fight. The ball began to
drop, as Seksay made the most
of offensive positioning. Ben
Campbell nailed a baseline
jumper for two to seal the win
for Cohasset, 37-36.
The sevens hit the pine next,
with only eight players. BW
had the size advantage, so
Cohasset needed to capitalize
on their speed and passing.
Early on. the ball didn't drop
for the boys in blue and BW
jumped out to an early, perhaps
insurmountable lead.
Brendan Doonan and Jeff
Charles were strong defen-
sively with their quick hands,
anticipating the steal. Dana
Valentine and Chris Brown
provided size and strength on
(he boards. John Kearney and
Will Wise directed the offense.
Cohasset kept BW guessing,
switching from man to man
defense and back again.
Johnny Ma her and Kevin
O'Connell led the scoring for
.Cohasset, scoring eight and
seven points respectively, with
tTC nailing a three.
The eights started strong.
confidently breaking the press,
however they had early trouble
scoring. I \iin Richardson
kick-started the action with a
bucket. Ryan Daly was a force
to be reckoned with under the
offensive glass all game long.
With nothing but grit and
determination. Daly positioned
himself very well and not only
hauled down numerous offen-
sive rebounds, but he convert-
ed them to points lor his team.
Daly's magic began to rub off
on his teammates. Nick
Simonds was fouled under-
neath on a strong move and
went to the charily stripe. Nick
Savage was fouled and hit both
shots. BW was up 31-19 at the
half.
The break didn't slow down
Daly as he took up residence
under the glass and was fouled
and sunk both. Richardson
found Daly again for two.
Savage played superb man
defense against a taller oppo-
nent. Cohasset slowly chipped
away at the BW lead.
Aggressive defense and going
to the net yielded several
Cohasset scores.
At the one minute mark.
Richardson went coast to coast
to bring Cohasset to within
four. BW held on and escaped
with the win. Ryan Daly turned
in his best performance of the
season.
Under Friday night lights at
CMHS, the squads matched up
against East Bridgewater.
Eric Wasel established him-
self in the low post position
with strong defensive rebound-
ing and registering a blocked
shot. EB pressed the boys, and
Sam Richardson fed Mike
Monaco in classic textbook
fashion for 2. Gabe Seksay
continued to dominate the
offensive boards and dumped a
few baskets in. At the half.
Cohasset was up. The
Sixers delivered their usual
great team play and secured the
win.
The Sevens came out in a
man to man against EB.
Robby McCunney set the tone
with a resounding block and
then fed Dana Valentine for an
easy bucket. The boys played a
strong team game against EB.

allowed the sevens to work the
ball, creating scoring chances.
They also engineered fast
break opportunities as Johnny
Matter found an open Jeff
Charles twice and F.amon
Davis for scores.
Chris Brown controlled the
middle of the paint and inter-
cepted a pass which he fed to
Kevin O'Connell and then
back to Brown on the give and
go for two. Taylor McQuade
provided a textbook screen for
Charles from the baseline for
an easy basket. Will Wise
found Maher and Davis open
for scores. Brendan Doonan
played his usual aggressive
scrappy game, wrestling for
every loose ball. John Kearney
was also on the receiving end
of fast break chances being fed
from McCunney for two. and
from Valentine for two.
The sevens won the game.
The Eights found themselves
down by four at the half, but
within the first minute of the
second half Ihey tied the game
up. Evan Richardson led his
team with aggressive no holds
barred play. Driving the line.
Richardson scored. He fed
Nick Savage in the low post for
two.
Marcus Charles was on fire,
playing extremely smart,
aggressive ball. After he stole
the ball, he found Ryan Daly
for a bucket. Charles then stole
the ball again and went the dis-
tance for two and was fouled.
His made foul shot lied the
game up at the 6:45 mark.
Dan Martin, on the receiv-
ing end of a fast break pass,
sacrificed his body, saving the
ball before it went out of
bounds. Martin then delivered
a resounding defensive block
which created a score from
Charles. Owen Landon was
fiercely defending the EB
guards and fed Charles on the
fast break.
Martin controlled the offen-
sive boards. With great deter-
mination, on his third consecu-
tive board he was fouled in the
act of shooting.
Team play put the boys in
blue in the victory column.
In Weymouth, the Sixers
engaged in scrappy back and
forth action and finally scored
on a Sam Richardson hook
shot. Anders Goetz continued
to show tremendous aggressive
defensive, tormenting the
opposing guards. B u t
Cohasset struggled early to get
the ball to drop through the net.
But it was Richardson again
who got the scoring going and
slowly but surely they came
back. Jack Carrier protected
the paint and caused
Weymouth to turn the ball
over. He also was on the
receiving end of a Robert Jones
led fast break. Carrier was
fouled and sunk both shots
from the charity stripe.

movement. causing the
Weymouth defense to shift. He
found Jones for a bucket.

Weymouth and took a led that
they never relinquished. Robby
McCunney hit a bucket from
the outside and Cohasset led

late, playing smart heads up
ball on both ends of the court.
Nick Savage converted a
three point play. Richardson
was fouled and convened both
shots from the stripe. Marcus

by Weymouth, coming from
nowhere to stop the easy buck-

etration.

'We knew we made a difference'
FROM RELAY, PAGE 1
those with him throughout his
light were his daughters. Emily
and Liesl and their mother.
Marianne.
Following her dad's death.
Emily participated in the Cohasset
Relay For Life, u •'community
overnight event (for) those from
ull walks of life to join in the light
against cancer. The event raises
cancer awareness, funds for
research, education.. . and local
programs while... remembering
loved ones, (inspiring) others and
celebrating life."
Emily's participation in the
Relay led her to become captain of
her team, a position she holds to
ihis day. "It's SO wonderful to be
there each year," Emily staled
with passion and dedication.
"There is something (here that is
impossible to describe. Special
moments make it all so meaning-
ful. The Luminaria (when candles
are lil honoring those touched by
cancer) and the Survivor's Walk
(when cancer survivors lead the
first lap of the relay) are so emo-
tional. I can't not do il anymore!"
Emily's skills and expertise as a
team leader and fundraiser expand
each year. "At first, I 'winged it'!"
she explained shyly. "But I decid-
ed to write personal letters and
make calls to friends and family
for support and donations and it
was successful. Others in school
joined in and it has continued to
grow."
The achievement of these young
people under Emily's direction is
no small feat. In 2004 the team she
led at the Cohasset Relay raised
the most funds of the 37 partici-
pating teams and contributed more
than $9,000 to the cause.
In addition to raising money and
increasing awareness for this wor-
thy organization, participation in
the Relay provides participants
with an opportunity lor fun. cre-
ativity and camaraderie. This all
night event overflows with festive
and expressive contests, entertain-
ment and momenta of reverence
and sentiment. Though mndrais-
ing is the most significant require-
ment, coordination of teams
includes various other prepara-
tions. Tent decorating, food and
menu planning, uniform themes
and symbols and the determina-
lion and stamina to have a team
member walking along the track
throughout every moment of the
event all are parts of a winning
effort.
Emily's team was brimming
with themes and symbols of inspi-
ration during their 2004 participa-
tion at the Relay. Their tent area
and team represented the
"Impossible Dream" foreshadow-
ing the upcoming feats of the
Boston Red Sox.
"My Dad was a huge Red Sox
fan." Emily explained. "Even
though he moved to New Jersey
for several years, he continued to
be a Sox fan. The year he died, we
had been given tickets to the Red
Sox-Yankees game during April
v acation. My Dad was too sick to
go. but I went anyway, because he
wanted me to.
"We watched Red Sox games
together from his hospital room.
He never stopped being a fan. I
wonder if maybe our team at the

Emily has endless words of
praise for her co-captain. Alana
Driscoll also of Hingham.
"It would be so hard to continue
ihis without her." Emily slated
about her friend and Relay col-
league. "We have a lot of girls
who get together and we all do as
people about the Story of the
American Cancer Society and
why its work is so important."
Mary Shepherd. Community
Executive for Income

Emily's dedication.
"We are so fortunate to have
Emily involved in the Relay for

Rally for Relay is Saturday
Join millions of other
American Cancer Society
(ACS) Relay for Life partici-
pants across the country in the
fight against cancer. Find out
how to get involved in the
Annual Relay For Life event in
Cohasset at a Relay Rally on
Saturday. March 12 — gener-
ously hosted by St. Anthony's
in their reception hall from 9-
10 am. The variety of ways to
become involved with the
Relay will be highlighted
throughout the Rally.
The Relay For Life event will
be held at Cohasset High
School on June 17 and 18.
Anyone interested in joining
the planning committee,
becoming a team captain, vol-
unteering, or just finding out
more about Relay For Life is
encouraged to attend the Rally.
Relay teams representing fami-
lies, clubs, churches, neighbor-
hoods and corporations will
join the race to beat cancer by
celebrating survivorship and
taking turns walking around the
track. Teams are encouraged to
enjoy the great music, food and
camaraderie of the event
Relay For Life is the
American Cancer Society's
largest signature event as well
as the most successful national
fund-raiser. Nationwide. Relay
For Life raised $306 million in
fiscal year 2003-04 in more
than $4,050 communities with
more than 2.6 million partici-
pants celebrating 550000 can-
cer survivors. Relays in more
than 60 communities in
Massachusetts raised more
than $9 million last year for
local programs of cancer
research (89 grants currently
throughout Massachusetts,
totaling $35,204,899). educa-
tion, advocacy and patient ser-
vices. These include transporta-
tion for cancer patients to their
treatments, one-on-one support
for women with breast cancer,
cosmetologist consultations for
women being treated for can-
cer, tobacco control education,
and mammography outreach.
For more information about
Relay For Life, to learn how to
become a volunteer, or to
RSVP for the Relay Rally,
please call Mary Shepherd at
ACS at 1-888-648-4880.
Lesley Seminars
Emily was selected to attend the
Relay Youth Summit in Dallas
Texas. A forum to develop leader-
ship and fundraising skills, this
session was attended by more than
three hundred staff, college and
high school students representing
Relay For Life Events throughout
the continent. Energized and
enthusiastic. Emily described her
experience at the conference.
"It was fun and really cool." she
exclaimed. "I learned a lot about
how other groups run their event
and I heard about activities that are
fun and unique ways to raise
money and encourage donations. I
also received lots of information
that helps team members to tell
happy to have her on the planning
committee for the Relay. Of
course, she is so genuine, il is
impossible to say "no" to her!
"Of course, people of all ages
are participants and supporters of
this event, but it is so meaningful
when the young people become
involved. We find thai it becomes
a passion for many of them that
they carry as they move on in their
lives. The existence of a Relay for
Life in an area they arc consider-
ing for college can be a factor. If
one doesn't exist, these students
arc often inspired to start one. This
is a vital way for the message to
spread and the support for cancer
awareness and programs to grow."
Solace and joy embrace Emily
each day as she wears a necklace
given to her by her Mom on her
I4ln birthday; the first one she
observed without her Dad. The
white gold charm, embellished
with her initials, her birthslone and
that of her father lovingly whis-
pers the inscription. "Always a
part of you." Similar charms are
worn by her sister and mother,
proclaiming the eternal presence
of their Dad's spirit.
Plans are underw ay for the 2005
Relay For Life at Cohasset High
School June 17 & 18. Emily.
Alana and their team are busy with
their fundraising efforts and plans
for the overnight event. Emily
addressed the challenges of man-
aging school and the relay. "It's
not always easy to juggle every-
thing, but it doesn't matter.
Sometimes it's stressful but it is all
so special and so worth it."
To anyone considering involve-
ment in the Relay For Life or any
events to support the American
Cancer Society. Emily offers these
words of wisdom: "Get involved!
Cancer touches so many families
and you never know when it may
be yours or someone's who you
love. Whenever you have a
chance, do everything can to help
others. You will always be glad
you did."
"Every 26 seconds someone
calls tlie American CancerSociety
for help. The Society's toll-free
information line is I-N00-ACS-
2345 and is available 24 hours a
day, seven days a week " For

How to Find Roal Estate
for 30% to 50%
Below Market Value
DISCOVER THE HUGE SOURCE OF PROFITS MOST REAL ESTATE INVESTORS OVERLOOK
■
who appreciate you're helping ihcm
gel on with their lives.
Believe It or Not.
a 300% Gain Can
Be "All in a Day s
"/ can show you from firsthand experience, it can take just a couple
hours of your time to position yourself to make tens of thousands
of dollars in real estate. " J.G. Banks, legendary probate investor
You can buy choice real estate for
30 percent to 50 percent of its market
value, sell it quickly for its full price,
and make lens of thousands of
dollars on just about every
investment.
You can do this with single-family
houses. Duplexes. Condominiums.
Apartment buildings. Strip malls.
Office buildings. Ranchland. Farms.
All types of real estate.
The reason these bargain properties
exist is that they are part of an estate
that's in probale. Don't lei the word
"probate" scare you. There is no
legal mumbo jumbo involved. When
you acquire real estale that's part of
someone's estate, you're simply
helping beneficiaries settle the estate
by purchasing its assets.
In just a few hours each week — less
lime than most folks spend watching
TV during a single evening — you
can learn to cash in with estates by
following my easy-to-follow "estate
mining system."
A single mom with three teenagers
used my system to purchase the home
she never thought she could afford.
But when you gel the property for
half price, that's what can make the
difference.
In every neighborhood, it's possible
lhal one or two properties, and
maybe more, arc in probate. You can
find profit-making opportunities
close lo home. Even areas of town
you only dreamed of moving to can
suddenly become affordable when
meMgrjce^^c^l^staieMdrops in hall.
To Make Big
BUY LOW
and SELL HI6H
Rest assured. I'm not talking about
rundown foreclosures, bankruptcies,
or condemned properties like the
slew of so-called "real estate gurus."
Properties in probale can be beautiful
homes with no mortgage or debt
attached, making them some of the
cleanest and easiest of all real estate
to buy low and sell high quickly.
There is no "For Sale" sign oul front,
and few people know where lo find
these properties. But for those who
do. il can be a land of riches and the
fastest route I know lo making big
money in real estate.
Why Such
Incredible
Bargains
Everywhere?
Not every beneficiary wanls to keep
the property Ihey inherited. Perhaps
the estate involves people who live
out of state and they don't want to
change their lives. If a house is
willed to more than one person, it's
likely the property must be sold to
ensure everybody gels their share.
Plus, most beneficiaries want their
money quickly. Fifty dollars today is
a lol heller lhan the promise of SI 00
sometime off in the future.
Especially when attorney fees are
eating away at that SI 00 value. So
you have highly motivated sellers
The potenlial lo make significant
money is huge. For example, if you
purchased just one property al a 30
percent discount, and then resold the
property for 100 percent of its market
value, you'd make about (45,000 on
a property worth SI 50.000. And with
my system, it may not even take a
full week's effort lo do this.
But here's how you leverage your
money lo make gigantic profits...
assuming you pul down 10 or 15
percent lo purchase the property,
when you quickly sell for lull market
value, the gain on your initial down
payment could easily he more lhan
300 percenl.
Real esiale has long been a proven
path lo making millions of dollars.
Almost anyone can walk along this
path, and I believe that no route has
more moneymaking potential lhan
the one you'll discover in my FREE
workshop.
How to Bet the
Cash to Buy
Properties
In addition lo learning why it's
possible to regularly purchase real
estate for as little as 50 cents on the
dollar, you'll also discover it's
possible lo get (he cash to fund your
offers to buy properties. Thai means,
you do not have to have money in the
TOP FIVE REASONS TO
ACQUIRE PROBATE PROPERTIES
□ BARGAIN BASEMENT PRICES The probate market is full of
fabulous properties you can snap up for 30% to 50% below
market value Get the home of your dreams for your family, or
resell quickly and be positioned to capture a lifetime of gams
within days It's the ultimate "Buy Low/Sell High" scenario
□ HUGE INVENTORY There are almost six million estates in
probate, with assets worth trillions of dollars. Every type of real
estate — from houses to beachside motels — are in probate
According to the tos Angeles Times, there are nearly 44 times
more probate properties than properties in foreclosure
Q BUYER'S MARKET Purchasing property out of an estate
assures you of a highly motivated seller Most beneficiaries are
anxious to sell the house (and other unwanted assets) so that
they can pay off debts attached to the estate that must all be
settled before the estate can be distributed
□ ALL KINDS OF TREASURES Historic architecture, classic
cars, fine jewelry, antiques, art, toys, collectibles, and much
more enter into probate every day Millions of items. And they
can sit there for years unless you rescue them
H IT'S A SECRET Few people know how to find and purchase
property from an estate. Even the beneficiaries don't know how
to sell. That means, as a "first in" estate investor, you have
little or no competition from other buyers — plus you're
helping anxious sellers.
My system is so comprehensive that
the State of California accredited it.
But like just about everything in life,
it works best if you work at it.
A gentleman from Dallas purchased
IK probale properties his first year.
Another student bought a vacant lot
for $40,000 less lhan comparable
lots on the same street.
You won't find a book on "How to
Make Money in Estates" at
bookstores. My FREE workshop is
the only way to start learning the
secrets of "estate investing."
More lhan $3 trillion dollars worth of
assets are in probale It's a buyer's
paradise. Yet there are very few real
estate investors who know about it.
I guarantee that if you attend my
FREE workshop and put yourself "in
the know," you'll be positioned to be
"in the money" as never before.

Estate hunting is also a great way
to start an e-business, auction off

An enterprising young man
turned his love for cars, and the
knowledge he gained from the
J.G. Banks workshop, into a
carter. The man purchased an
auto shop that the beneficiaries
had no interest in. He and his
brother own and run the
business, enroling for
themselves a potential lifetime
of profits from one estale
purchase. The flow of wealth
didn 't stop there. Our student
also netted over $22,000 in
profit on four cars. All four
vehicles were acquired using the
J.G. Banks system.
One of our students made profits
of 1.000 percenl lo 3.000 percent
on the possessions he found in
estates and then quickly sold.
There is a potential windfall in

IMPORTANT NOTICE TO
DES DAUGHTERS
Time May Be Running Out For Your Compensation Claim
DES ( d iet hy 1st i bestro I ) was prescribed for pregnant women during the
1950s and 1960s after Harvard researchers incorrectly concluded, w ithout proper testing, that
it helped prevent miscarriages even though the manufacturers of DES know that the drug
crossed the placenta and stunted the growth of offsprings' reproductive organs. They
conducted no studies or warned of this effect. In 1954. the first controlled study of DES
effectiveness showed that the drug did not work. In 1971. the use of DES was banned as a
carcinogen. Recent studies report serious side effects associated with prenatal DES
exposure including:
• Infertility And Endometriosis including multiple miscarnages and stillbirths
. Pre-Term Delivery Where Offspring Is Significantly Disabled
■ Ectopic Pregnancy
• Clear Cell Adenocarcinoma Of The Cervix Or Vagina
If you arc a woman whose mother took DES while she was pregnant with you and you suffer
from any of the above injuries, you may be entitled to compensation.

Alternative Energy Committee
By Samantha Brown
SAMBPOWN*>CNC COM
The Board ol Selectmen in looking for
residents (6 serve on a committee to
investigate alternative energy sources,
such as harnessing soJar and v. bid energy.
The committee will either he appointed
h> Town Meeting or h\ ihe hoard itself,
li will be charged with investigating vari-
ous "green" energ> methods, and will
report hack to the Annual Town Meeting
with its findings in 2006;
To date, residents Jim Shipsky.
Benjamin Bixby. Andrew Willard of
Snxkbridge Street and Luciano Lauretti
oi Ferusolem Road have expressed inter-
est in heme a part ot the committee along-
side John Dunn ol Scholield Road, who
brought the idea forward to selectmen
with Merle Brawn.
Shipsky. who has served on the Open
Space Committee and Growth and
Development Committee, said in his let-
ter of intent, he has commuted his "pro-
fessinnal and personal life to working
Howard sust.iinahility." He said when
Selectman Roh SpotTord was Chainnan
nl Ihe School Building Committee, he
urged him and ihe committee to make Ihe
addition* and renovations to the schools
"green " lie added. "Unfortunately, there
was no interest in green' or energy effi-
cient") at that time I am delighted at the
possihilitv ol Cnhasscl moving toward
sustainabtlit) now."
Shipskv is also a member of
Sustainable South Shore, and is currently
working on an emissions inventory for
trie town ol Hull "This will establish
baseline data. useful in setting goals for
reduction of greenhouse gases, as well as
"I am delighted at the
possibility of Cohasset
moving toward
Jim Shipsky. applicant
saving the town money on energy. I have
a lot of ideas about how Coha'sset can
become sustainable." he said.
Bixby. a member of the Cohasset High
School class of 2001 . is currently a candi-
date for a Bachelor of Science in Foreign
Service IBSKS) at Georgetown
University's Walsh Schixil of Foreign
Service in Washington. D.C. He expects
to receive his degree with honors in
International Politics, specializing in
Trans-State Actors in World Politics this
May.
Bixby has studied under the tutelage of
Dr. Dav id Jhirad. current Vice President
for Science and Research at the World
Resources Institute and former Deputy
Assistant Secretary of Energy for
International F.nergy Policy. Trade, and
Investment.
In his letter of intent Bixby writes. "1
would enthusiastically undertake any
assignment in the context of this commit-
tee, .ind participate in its work both in
person while possible and by phone in all
other cases. 1 am confident that my cur-
rent location in Washington would serve
as an asset to the commit-
tee: I am proximate to both
international and federal ,
sources of information, and perhaps
financing. As part of my service on the
committee, I would like to investigate the
present and potential benefits to the town
of federal — as well as Commonwealth
— legislation encouraging renewable
energy investment."
Willard has had a strong interest in
renew able energy for many years and in
his letter of intent said he has supported
paying a higher rate on his electric bills to
support the purchase of energy generated
by renewable methods. He said he
believes it is "a wonderful idea for
Cohasset to begin the process of explor-
ing new ways to provide power to die
town and lessen our footprint on this
earth."
Professionally. Willard has been in
manufacturing sales for the past nine
years and has worked with firms that are
building and inventing new energy gener-
ation and storage dev ices. He has worked
w ith firms in both the fuel cell and solar
energy industry along with firms special-
izing in energy storage with a primary
focus on transportation.
Lauretti told selectmen in his letter of
intent for the position that he has back-
ground experience in project financing
and operations of large natural gas fired
cogeneration facilities. He also has expe-
rience in banking and private equity
investments.
Interested candidates should submit a
letter of intent to Town Manager Bill
Griffin at 41 Highland Ave., or contact
the Selectmen's office at (781 ) 383-4105.

A MATTER OF FREQUENCY
Presbycusis (age-related hearing
loss) compromises high-frequen-
cy hearing more than low-fre-
quency hearing, making it diffi-
cult to hear ihe high-pitched con-
versation of women and children.
While traditional analogue hear-
ing instruments often work well
to address this type of loss, newer
digital instruments ha\e the
potential to do a belter job. Not
only can they make a distinction
between high and low frequency
sounds, but they can also fine-
tune hearing to an unmatched
degree. As a result, wearers of
digital instruments can push a
burton to tune out nearby chatter.
And when they are trapped in
noisy traffic jams, they can push
another button lo dampen the din
outside their cars Digital tech-
nology enables wearers to adapt
their instruments to their chang-
ing requirements
We lake the responsibility very
seriously of matching every
patienl with the hearing instru-
ment best suited to his or her spe-
cial circumstances. We then use a
state-of-the-art technology to
achieve the most accurate, com-
fortable, personal fit. The exten-
sive training required of a Board
Certified Hearing Instrument
Specialist and our experience in
Ihe field make us well-suited lo
both tasks. Is your hearing in
need of a boost? Call us at FAM-
ILY HEARING CARE CEN-
TER 781-337-1144. Hearing
tests are painless - have one soon

But the presence of film crews and character

who have watched their film industry explode
over the past few decades. Most moviegoers are
familiar with lush Irish landscapes from classics
such as "The Quiet Man" and "Ryan's Daughter."

The brochure proudly states, "County Wicklow
is not only known as the Garden of Ireland but also
The Hollywood of Europe. Over the last 85 years,
hundreds of films have been made in the county,
which rightly justifies this title."
The 42-mile Excalibur Drive (North Wicklow
Film Trail) starts and ends in Roundwood. (If
you're ever asked in Trivial Pursuit, Roundwood
is reputed to be Ireland's highest village at 238
meters above sea level.) As you drive along the
route, you might recognize settings from dozens of

By 2010. television and movie productions in
Ireland are expected to generate some 500 million

than 1 1,000 people.

Sewer hookup
hybrid floated
for Cook site
By Samantha Brown
SAMRROWNeCNC.COM
One year ago. selectmen
voted unanimously for
Northland Residential
Company to work with the
town to build senior housing
on the Cook Estate. Today,
without a viable wastewater
disposal option for the site,
shovels have yet to pierce the
ground at "The Villages at
Deer Hill." But that doesn't
mean anyone is giving up.
"We feel this can
be done in such a
way that there will
be no impact on
the existing sewer
capacity in the
town."
— Northland Residential
Company letter
In a letter to Town Manager
Bill Griffin. Jack Dawley. vice
president and director of acqui-
sitions for Northland and Peter
Crab tree, acquisition manager
for Northland, outlined a new
hy brid wastewater solution for
the site.
Current plans include build-
ing 95 units of affordable and
market-rale housing on the
Sohier Street site. The new
proposal would dispose of
wastewater from the market-
rate lownhouses on-site and
wastewater from the affordable
apartments through a town
sewer connection.
"We feel this can be done in
such a way that there will be
no impact on the existing
sewer capacity in the town
while at the same lime generat-
ing substantial fees (both from
up-front payments and ongo-
ing revenue) for the sewer
commission to use for other
sewer projects thai have been
earmarked, bui are not suffi-
ciently funded." the letter
stales.
Northland submitted a
Request for Proposals thai
called for the development of
60 market rale "for sale" lown-
houses and 35 rental apart-
ments (30 affordable and 5
market rale). The 95 total units
will produce 14.250 gallon-,
per day (gpd) of wasiewaier.
Northland says soil tests have
shown the site can handle
approximately 9.000 gpd in a
conventional Title 5 soil
absorption sysiem. Thai
means the siie would be able lo

Judging from his si/e. Rocky
looks like the underdog but in
reality the shaggy canine is any-
thing bul.
His tail wagging all the lime,
the 20-pound bundle of energy

Rocky will play "Sandy." the
stray "mutt" thai Annie
befriends in the Broadway

May fV22 at Cohasset Town

Coady Hgan. 1 1 . of Scituate,
says even though her dog. a
bichon frise shih t/u mix, has
never acted before, he'll do
fine. She's been attending dog
obedience classes with Rocky
through the 4-H Club in
Kingston.
"We thought he mighl be able

Coady 's mother. Susan Egan.
She spoiled a notice about the
tryouts in that morning in the

Rocky to the auditorium at

position, one DPW position.
;and one clerical position at
Town Hall, and the position of
Town Planner has been cut back
to one day per week.
But Town Manager Bill
Griffin pointed out there are 11
;paraprofessional positions
being cut from the school bud-
get as well as one clerical posi-
tion to help make ends meet.
Nine of the eleven paraprofes-
sional positions which have
been cut are already in effect, as
the funds were needed to help
■cover fiscal year 2005 short-
falls. At the beginning of bud-
!get season, there was roughly a
; $500,000 shortfall from either
items that were underbudgeted
•or simply not budgeted at all.
■ Those paraprofessional posi-
tions will not be added back in
! for FY06. which begins July 1 .
The additional three positions
are being cut from the FY06
budget as a way of helping
bring down what began as a
roughly $800,000 difference
between what the town had
allocated for the schools and
what the school department said
rt could work with.
In addition. S40.000 has been
cut in supplies and materials.
The school department hopes
the Cohasset Education
Foundation can raise those
funds. Also. $.10,000 has been
cut from the athletic budget,
which the school department
hopes the local boosters clubs
can raise. A new high school
math leaching position the
school department had hoped to
add to this year's budget, will be
postponed for at least another
Override's
effect on
taxes
Director of Finance-
Michael Buckley explained
with a $600,000 override,
the tax levy as a whole will
he 1 1 percent, 2 percent of
which comes from "new
growth"' that is charged to
new construction.
If the town passes the
override, the average tax-
payer could be facing a
potential total tax increase
of 9 percent. The override
would account for roughly 3
percent of the total increase,
and would add 30 cents to
the lax rate, or roughly $201
for the owner of a $670,000
home.
Under Proposition 2-1/2.
the state law thai caps the
amount a town can raise its
tax levy from year to year,
towns are allowed to raise
taxes 2-1/2 percent, which
will be on lop of the 3 per-
cent for the override.
In addition, towns are
allowed to exclude debt for
one year for voter approved
projects, and this year there
will be a 3-1/2 percent
increase for debt serv ice for
the high school and Deer
Hill renovation projects,
which was approved in
April of 2000.
Whatever the outcome of
the override, there will be a
1-1/2 percent surcharge on
the tax bills which go toward
the Community Preservation
Fund, as well as a potential
increase in water rales, if an
article proposing the rale
increases is approved at

year, freeing up roughly
$45,000. Without the teaching
position being added. $6,000 in
new math textbooks will not be
necessary.
There has also been $40,000
cut from the school's mainte-
nance budget, bringing the total
maintenance line item for the
schools from $50,000 down to
$10,000. There has been talk of
bringing the entire maintenance
budget over to the town side,
except for a small amount of
money which would be given a
different label and set aside for
supplies or other small mainte-
nance items. The Department
of Education mandates there be
a certain amount of funds avail-
able in the school budget for
upkeep. Griffin said he might
recommend adding the $40,000
which has currently been cut
from the school budget, to the
override because the town has
made a commitment to main-
taining its buildings.
The schools are proposing to
add a grade one teacher at a
salary of roughly $45,000. In
addition, one grade two and one
grade three teacher which were
both cut last year and funded by
a private fund-raising group
were restored to the budget.
Those two positions will add
roughly $90,000 to the bottom
line. In addition, the high
school will add a new
English/social studies teacher,
also at $45,000.
At the middle school, the
guidance/adjustment counselor
position will become a full-time
position. adding another
$45,000 to that line item. The
position of middle school
administrator will increase from
half to lull-time for an addi-
tional $4().(X)0. There will also
be an upgrade of the confiden-
tial administrative assistant
position to full-time business
manager for an additional
$35,000.
McMorris reiterated she
thinks the budget should be
looked at on a more universal
level, with all parties striving to
meet the same goal. However.
Spofford said the school com-
mittee, "says its budget is
done." and it has already sent a
letter to selectmen asking the
override question be included
on the ballot. Only the Board
of Selectmen can vote to put an
override question on the elec-
tion ballot.

Fiscal year
Director of Finance Michael
Buckley said after speaking
with Supt. Denise Walsh last
week, it is his understanding
the schools are currenUy pro-
jecting a $200,000 shortfall for
fiscal year 2005. when ends
June 30.
The schools have already
paid $48,000 in separation
costs for three former employ-
ees, none of which were bud-
geted, he said. Upon their
departures, former Supt.
Edward Malvey, former
Business Manager Ivan
Klimko, and former high
school principal Michael
Jones received payment for
accrued vacation. Malvey also
received longevity pay even
though he was only with the
school system for six years.
According to the teachers'
contract — which does not
include administrators — after
15 years, a teacher has the
option of receiving a $3,000
longevity bonus for each of the
last three years they have
worked in the system, or a
lump sum of $9,000. Malvey.
who worked in Cohasset for
roughly 6 years, was paid
$27,588 upon his departure,
which according to town
records includes one check for
$18,588 that would be roughly
seven weeks' pay. as well as an
additional $9,000.
Klimko. who had worked for
Malvey since 2001. received
$10,791 when he left, which is
a little more than six weeks'
pay. Klimko's position was cut
in half due to budget con-
straints, and Karen Park was
hired to lake his place. In addi-
tion. Michael Jones, who had
worked in Cohasset since
2000. was given $9,438 when
he left Cohasset to become
principal of" Lexington High
School, which is the equiva-
lent of a little more than four
weeks' pay.
During calendar year 2003,
Malvey received $134,872 in
salary and wages, as was the
highest paid employee of the
town. Jones and Klimko made
$ 1 0 1 . 1 96 and $93,724. respec-
tively.
Buckley has recommended
adding $l()<).()00 to the school
department budget to cover the
separation costs from FY05 as
well as roughly $35,000 in
unhudgeted tuition reimburse-
ment for teachers. He has also
recommended adding an addi-
tional SHX).(XK) to be added to
the Reserve Fund, which will
be used for covering any other
unanticipated expenses that
arise between now and the end
of the year. There is already
$93,000 for future gas bills
and S65,(XK) for unemploy-
ment costs set aside in the
Reserve Fund, and the Schcxtl
Committee will need to
request those funds as the bills
come in. If Buckley's recom-
mendation is passed, the
school department will have a
total of roughly S250.(XXt set
aside in the Reserve Fund.

Cook sewer proposal
raises many questions
Town Counsel
reportedly has
some concerns
By Samantha Brown
SAMBROWN0C NC.COM
The proposal put forth by
Northland Residential has
spurred many questions, some of
which Sewer Commissioner Ray
Kasperowicv has run by Town
Counsel Paul DeRensis.
At the Wednesday meeting of
the Cook working group.
Kasperowicv said he received an
answer from DeRensis "on the
fly." and has nothing in writing,
bill he would do his best to
explain to the best of his knowl-
edge where Town Counsel
thinks the proposal stands.
Kasperowicv said from what
he understands. DeRensis "does-
n't see it as something thai would
work." He said DeRensis men-
tioned problems with due
process, equal protection, and it
also has an aspect of discrimina-
tion, which Kasperowicv said he
would assume is due to only half
of the units being given a con-
nection. He said with two sepa-
rate sewer systems on one parcel
of land. DeRensis didn't think it
was a practical solution.
However. Selectman Ronnie
McMorris said because
DeRensis is representing the
sewer commission in its law suit
with Avalon, she said it is unclear
whether he is working in the hesl
interest of the town, or the sewer
commission, which is why she
has recommended in the past that
separate counsel be retained to
dad with any matters pertaining
10 sewering die Cook Estate.
Kasperowicv said he under-
stands the Conflict, bul added he
thinks DeRensis' comments
have merit. "If we only sewer

"It's opening up a

sewer commission
going to be sewered." he said,
adding there will be a pipe run-
ning on the property past the
other units, yet they will not be
able to connect. By law. if a pipe
runs past a home, the property
should have access to the line,
which could cause problems.
"It's opening up a whole can of
worms." he said.
Town Manager Bill Griffin
then pointed out, whatever Town
Counsel recommends or any
other counsel, the ultimate deci-
sion is up to the sewer commis-
sion.
McMorris said currently the
town has a number of options,
and she said they all depend on
whether the sewer commission is
willing to entertain them. She
said three options have come up
so far. She said the latest
Northland proposal is a great
option, and so was the proposal
for the site to discharge clean
water into the municipal system,
which was rejected by the sewer
commission, and she said she
can't understand why. She said
working out an agreement with
Hull for municipal sewer from
that town is also a solution that's
out there, bul it is just a matter of
getting the sewer commission 10
come on board with the idea.
"You're a good marketer and
you're ably trying to put me in
the corner." said Kasperowicv,
who said he would try lo explain
why those decisions were made,
bul his argument has been heard
many times before. He-
explained discharging clean
water may solve some problems
at the plant, but can cause others
if there is too much flow coming
in for it to handle. He added,
when making any decisions, the
sewer commission's main I
objective is to satisfy the needs of ]
existing homes, especially those
that abut waterways.
Kasperowicv. said with the deci-
sions the town needs to make, he
thinks it might be belter to put
them on a Town Meeting Warranl
and have the town decide what it
would like to see done. He said
Hull is a limited resource and if
Cohasset is able lo secure any
capacity, it will have to make the
decision as to how best 10 dole ii
out, and thai is not an issue he
feels the sewer commission or
any other board alone should
make. Kasperowie/. said bringing
three housing projects to town all
ai once will change the town dra-
malically, and decisions should
not be made lighily.
McMorris suggested the work-
ing group set up a time to meet
w ith the Hull Sew er Commission.
However, Griffin said he has not
been authorized by the Board of
Selectmen to do so, and that is not
the charge of the working group.
However. Griffin said if the group
wants to have a "fact-finding"
session, thai would most likely he
line, to see what options might be
available for the town, without
negotiating. McMorris said she
would bring that up with the
board Tuesday. Because
Kasperowicv., an accountant,
audits the town of Hull, he said he
would not be participating, but he
would send questions along for
other members 10 ask for him.
Another issue Griffin said need-,
lo be addressed is if plans change
for Ihe site, the Request for
Proposals may need 10 be sent
back out again in light of procure-
ment laws. However, he said if
the town land is not going to be
used as pan of a solution lor the
site, the town is OUI of ihe deal. If

Students give aid
to tsunami victims
By Samantha Brown
SAMBROWN»CNC.COM
During the month of February,
Cohasset Middle-High School
students participated in several
activities to raise money for the
victims of those affected by the
Indian Ocean tsunami. On Dec.
26. 2004, an earthquake erupted
under the Indian Ocean just off
the coast of Sumatra, causing
deadly waves to crash onto the
shores of 12 countries in
Southeast Asia.
In the middle school, students
sold kindness "Lolligrams." In
the high school. Student Council
members collected money on
"Have a Heart Day." and Ali
Boehmke collected money in the
middle and high school offices,
the cafeteria and from several
generous merchants downtown.
In all. the students collected
$830 which will be donated to
Save the Children.
Students at Deer Hill have also
been coordinating fundraising
efforts to help aid tsunami vic-
tims. Members of the Student
Council organized and imple-
mented a work-a-thon and bake
sale. Student Council President
Carly Oddleifson and Vice-
President Tucker Oddleifson
coordinated the events.
Deer Hill Principal Keith
Gauley said it was Tucker's idea
to coordinate the work-a-thon,
which asked students to com-
plete various chores at home to
earn money, which they then
donated toward the tsunami
fundraising efforts. During the
bake sale, which was a school-
wide effort, five parents from
each mom baked an item that
was put up for sale. Gauley said
the grand total from the com-
bined fundraising efforts was
more than $1,850. which will be
donated to the American Red
Cross.
"This was especially inspiring
given the fact that so much of the
work was done by the Student
Council, that the idea came from
a student, and that the kids raised
so much money." said Gauley.
He added two students earned
more than $150 from shoveling
snow.

FROM COOK PAGE 4
the town land remains in the
equation, but the project is
reduced in size by as much as
one-third, the project will be dif-
ferent enough that it will trigger
the need for a new bid process.
Advisory Committee Chairman
Donna McGee said in the intea-sl
of ensuring all options are
explored, she would like any
other suggestions to be put on the
table for discussion. She said
there has been talk about Donald
Stawko possibly having an offer
for the town, and Griffin said he
would try to schedule a time for
Staszko to meet with the group.
Town Counsel will also be sched-
uled to attend upcoming meetings
slated for either Tuesday or
Thursday. Members of the work-
ing gmup will also attend the
March 28 sewer commission
meeting.
Although McMorris said the
town is committed to making the
project work as originally pro-
Red Sox trophy
day a success
Selectman Rob SpofTord said
last Sunday's World Series tro-
phy display event went off with-
out a hitch, and he was very
pleased with the outcome of the
day's events. "It was a great day
to have everyone to town." he
said.
SpofTord thanked Sen. Robert
Hedlund and state Rep. Garrett
Bradley lor their efforts in coor-
dinating the event, as well as
Facilities Manager Brian Adams.
Police Chief James Hussey. Sgt
Shelley Peters, as well as new
police officers Edward Bagley
and Patrick Kenney, and Supt.
Denise Walsh for opening the
building for the occasion.
SpofTord said in all. roughly
1 30 families were given numbers
in line, which leads him to esti-
mate there could have been
between 300 and 400 people in
attendance.
Selectman Ronnie McMorris
said she thought the day was
"great fun." and joked she was
glad she and Spofford got a
chance to actually hold the tro-
phy, "Once we could get Chief
Hussey to get his hands off it."
Spofford echoed McMorris'
sentiments and quipped. "It was
great to participate in something
apolitical... unless you're a
Yankees fan."

Harvard Din and Tonics add a twist to ASP festival
By Samantha
SAMBR0WN9CNC
C.COM
Singing has brought mem-
bers of the Harvard Din and
Tonics to every corner of the
globe. With their crisp white
ties and tuxedo tails and a
smooth a cappella sound.-they
are both pleasing to the eye
and the ear no matter where
they travel.
But Sunday March 19,
Cohasset residents will get a
taste of the Dins, when they
perform at the fifth annual
Appal achia Service Project
Festival at Cohasset High
School beginning at 7:30 p.m.
Among those on stage will be
Cohaset resident David Ingber.
who is currently in his sopho-
more year at Harvard.
"I am looking forward to per-
forming in Cohasset in a big
way." said Ingber. a 2003 grad-
uate of Cohasset High School.
He said it will be great to meet
up with old teachers and
friends, "and it's such a great
cause." which makes the event
tw ice as nice.
Each year since 1988 a group
of teens and adults from
Cohasset has taken a one-w eek
trip to some of the rxxirest
areas of the country, volunteer-
ing their lime to make badly
needed home repairs. This
year. ASP will take volunteers
to various counties in West
Virginia and Kentucky, The
ASP Festival helps raise the
funds necessary to make the
trip possible.
Ingber said he began singing
with the Dins as a first-year
student, and was fortunate to
he chosen as one of 14 mem-
bers of the gnxip. "The audi-
tion process is very rigorous."
he said, but as someone who
had been a member of the all-
state choir, he was no stranger
10 performing. Those trying
out must perfi inn a solo, fol-
lowed by three consecutive
nights of callbacks. He said it
is essential for members of the
group to be able to blend well
with the others and learn
quickly.
Being a Din has provided
Ingber with many opportuni-
ties. He has performed at a
variety of different functions.
from corporate events, to per-
forming in large concen halls,
to smaller events like the ASP
Festival. "We travel to New
York several times a semester."
he said, adding he recently
traveled to Vail, Colorado,
where he skied during the day
and sang at night.
Ingber has performed in dif-
ferent countries as well. This
summer, the group went on a
world tour for 1 1 weeks, visit-
ing 22 countries and 30 cities.
"We were performing pretty
much every night." he said.
The Dins visited Norway.
Belgium, France. Switzerland,
the Czech Republic, China.
Thailand. Singapore.
Malaysia, and Australia, to
name a few.
Although the Dins have trav-
eled across the globe, there are
some experiences which have
been just as memorable here at
home. In fact, last week, the
Dins were asked to perform for
Sharon Stone as she came off a
plane at Logan International
Airport.
Stone was in town to receive
the Harvard Foundation's 2005
Humanitarian Award in recog-
nition of her decade-long work
to combat AIDS. When she
landed in Boston, there were
the Dins, snapping and hum-
ming a base line, waiting for
her to be close enough to hear
them sing their signature tune.
"Sha Boom."
However, as the group was
about to start, they realized
Stone was talking on her cell
phone and was not paying
attention, which caused a few
more minutes of vamping
before she was close enough to
realize what was going on.
Although Ingber thoroughly
enjoys the lime he spends
singing with the Dins, he said
this will be his last year per-
forming. "I've put in two fan-
lastic years." he said, but he
doesn't want to limit himself in
terms of the opportunities he is
able to have during his college
years. Ingber is majoring in
English literature.
But once you're a Din.
you're always a Din. and
Ingber said those who have
graduated know at any point,
sitting in the crowd, they might
be called up on stage to sing
"Sha Boom" at a moment's
notice. But before he turns in
he will take advantage of every
opportunity that comes his
way. including singing in
Bermuda during spring break.
He said he will never forget the
experiences he has had and
will always be grateful for the
opportunity it presented. "I got
to travel the world because I
can sing." he said.
Admission to the festival is
$10. Tickets can be purchased
at All the Best Natural Foods,
located in James Brook
Crossing on Pleasant Street.

Public hearing March 21 on proposed water rate hike
The Water Commission is
holding a public hearing on its
proposed water rate increa.se and
new appropriation. The hearing
will be held at 7:30p.m.,
Monday. March 21. at the Lily
Pond Water Treatment Plant. 339
King St.
■In Article 18. to be considered
at the April 2 Annual Town
Meeting, we propose to increase
water rates and a new S4 million
appropriation tor needed Water
Department improvement pro-
jects.'' said John McNabb. chair-
man of the water commission.
"Water rales have not been raised
lor eight y ears, since 1997. This
rate increase is needed to allow
the water commission to contin-
ue its ongoing system improve-
ments program to improve drink-
ing water quality."
"This new appropriation of $4
million is needed this year to
improve drinking water quality
and to complete the system
improvements needed to comply
w ith the TTHM regulation." said
McNabb. "Annual operating
costs have increased about
SI50.(XXVyear. because of addi-
tional personnel and increased
chemical use which is needed to
provide better quality drinking
water. The sale of water to
Linden Ponds in Hingham does
not eliminate the need for a rate
increase, but reduces the amount
of the water rate increase that is
needed."
"ftec of the rate increase
will by paid by the heaviest
users - increasing from
$5.52 to $7.38 per 100
cubic feet far vater usage
in excess of 2,000 cubic
feet (15,000 gallons) per
quarter." said Water
Commissioner Nathaniel
Palmer. "For the majority
of customers who use less
than 2,000 cubic feet per
quarter, the additional coat
will be less than 18 cents
per da/."
"We also propose to appropri-
ate $4 million for needed projects
to improve drinking water quali-
ty, lower TTHM levels, improve
taste and odor, and improve
water service," said Water
Commissioner Glenn Pratt.
"These projects are:
• Construction and activa-
tion of second well to replace
Sohier Street wells
• Ellms Meadow Wellfield
Pumphouse construction to
reactivate wells
• Acquire 67 acres with
$454,300 state grant (50 per-
cent of cost) and legal costs
• Replace filter media and
repair underdrains of filter
beds
• Upgrades to plant automa-
tion and SCADA automation
software
• Installation of radio reads
for water meters to improve
meter reading
• Prepare plans and specifi-
cations for major retrofits to
Plant needed by 2007
• Equipment upgrades &
personnel costs to go to 24
hour operations
• Water sampling to monitor
TTHM levels throughout dis-
tribution system
• Inventory and replacement
of valves and gates in distrib-
ution system
• Develop and implement
Lily Pond Management Plan;
improve Pond water quality
• Aaron River Reservoir
Study; assess to see if
improvements needed

C
otiose! in blessed with plent) of brainpower Thai, coupled
with so much of the population wanting to preserve the
character of the town, Shotlk) he ail unbeatable combina-
tion.
Bul from where we sit. mam people seem to be working at
cross purposes. The good news is we believe most have Ihe
same goals at heart even though, at limes, they are at each
other's throats.
Wc ;ill Want Ihe best for Cohasset.
What does thai mean'.' ( Steal sch(>ols: excellent lown services:
preservation of Ihe tow n's unique character through controlled
growth: municipal sewer connections; allowability for our
seniors and young families, and so on.
Can we have it all? I'nder Prop. 2- 1/2 - which we believe is
a good law bv keeping property laves under some restraints -
something has got to give on the revenue side.
Il is apparent lhal C'edaremere is mo\ ing ahead w hether or not
il is able to conned to the tow n sewer.
The Cook Estate project needs a sewer connection tor al least
part of the project because Ihe on-sile conditions can't handle
more than 60 units.
Both Cedarmere and Cook will prov ide much needed, age-
restricted housing for "seniors" 55-plus.
Maybe it's time to consider allowing both projects to hookup
to the municipal sewer system which would generate consider-
able money for the town - amounting to several million dollars
lan estimated S 1 .4 million lor the Cook Estate alone).
CedarmeK even OfEered to pay to upgrade ihe plant to incor-
porate the Little Harbor area, alleviating the town of thai bur-
den. (We're not advocating new projects take sewer capacity
away from Little Harbor). Both Cedarmere and Cook have also
offered to solve the "1 & I" (leakage) problem that would pro-
vide more plant capacity.
Would those hookups also open the door for Avalon? Perhaps.
But. we need to face the possibility that Avalon. Cedaremerc
and Cook could all move forward in any case.
We agree lhat hundreds of housing units coming to town prac-
tically in one fell swoop is too much. But Cohasset isn't alone
in facing these kinds of pressures. Hingham's Linden Ponds
senior housing project is going to add upwards of 2.IXK) units
over ils eight-year buildout. That coupled with Ihe Shipyard
project and several others translate into Hingham's population
grow ing by about 20 percent over the next live years or so.
In addition to death and taxes, the other sure thing in life is
change - so the only question is how do we handle or cope with
Change? COhasset, once a summer colony , has undergone a lot
of changes ov er the y ears. Any one ov er the age of 50. w ho grew
up in lown. knows that.
Maybe Cohassel needs to look at ihe "upside" of at least.
Cixik and Cedarmere. which could translate into going a long
way toward solving a housing shortage and gaining some des-
perately needed cash ( so the yearly ovemde scenario can lake a
breather).
The flip side is Ihe continuing gut-wrenching budgetary expe-
rience in town which is noi for ihe faint of heart. Simply put. the
town "as a whole" needs more money than it can generate from
current property taxes alone.
Cohasset has someone knocking ai the door, with attractive,
well planned developments thai can add to the bottom line. The
town may have to realize, it's no longer in a position to slam the
door in their face.

Apologizes for budget remarks
Dkak Chief Lincoln,
School Committee member Rick Flynn
sent his letter to Fire Chief Roner Lincoln
with ci copy of the Mariner for publica-
tion.
I would like to apologize lo you and all
ihe members of your department for a
recent comment I made regarding your
department's budget. In ihe context of a
discussion concerning Ihe 2006 lown bud-
get, and a possible reallocation of
resources. I staled, according to the
Mariner, that " Cohasset is one of the
smallest towns with one of Ihe biggest and
most highly paid fire departments".
As soon as these words passed my lips.
I knew I had misspoke. The reason for my
comment had everything to do with trying
to discuss and resolve ongoing budget and
revenue issues challenging Cohassel and
not to put negative attention on the Fire
Department budget. At the same lime. I
was speaking in generality without exact
knowledge of what I was saying. I cer-
tainly should not have said this. My state-
ment was not accurate.
I know thai Cohasset has an excellent
Fire Department with a professional and
dedicated workforce thai is a true asset to
our lown. The department is sized accord-
ingly for a town of our size and in the dif-
ficult economic times we are in, Ihey are
not overpaid.
I hope you can forgive my comments
and know that my intentions are always to
try and figure out positive lownwide solu-
tions to difficult fiscal problems.

March 4. 2005, Mariner tilled. 'Override-
yes, bul how much remains a question."
Of particular interest to me was a state-
ment attributed to Dr. Denise Walsh,
superintendent of schools, thai the teach-
ers are not taking any salary increases ihis
year.
Jusl to be clear with Ihe members of the
community and your readers. Ihe
Cohassel Teachers Association is in nego-
tiation with ihe School Committee regard-
ing a new Collective Bargaining
Agreement. After several meetings, both
sides have made their positions very clear
on the salary issue.
To imply that the CTA has accepted ihe
School Committee's position of no raises
for next year is simply inaccurate. We
will, however, continue lo bargain in good
faiih to resolve Ihis important matter.

Don't blame schools for high tax bills
COMMENTARY
Andrew Quigley
Ai
sidebar article in last week's Mariner
(Town Picks Up Some School Costs)
Lwhich slated that the schools account
for "60 percent of the overall town budget" is
another example of the pitfalls of trying to reduce
(he complexities of school and municipal financ-
ing into simple terms, whether by means of two-
paragraph articles in the Mariner or lengthy let-
ters from citizens (including mine).
The article listed five items which, the article
asserted, "the town covers" for the schools.
The largest of those items was "$3,148,730 for
debt service" for the new schools. However, "the
town." i.e.. the taxpayers of Cohasset through their
real estate taxes, only "covers" 40percent of those
costs - the state reimburses us (or soon will be)
oOpercent of the costs of the new schools. The new
schools are largely the direct burden of the state, not
the taxpayers of Cohasset.
Another item listed in the article was "$102,514
for administration allocated per DOE guidelines."
However, this line item, as I understand it, does not
represent actual dollars expended by the town for
"administration." Rather, this line item is a book-
keeping entry required by the stale which does not
ion elate to an actual expense incurred by the town.
(The $102,514 figure for Cohasset is derived from a
DOE formula which directs school districts to mul-
tiply $70 by the number of students in the district) an
artificially-contrived number which in our case does
not translate into actual dollars expended by the
town's taxpayers.)
A third item listed "$208,028 under public works."
A big chunk of this includes the salary for the new
maintenance supervisor, whose position was
expressly created last year at Town Meeting. He will
supervise both school and other town-owned build-
ings. Do the schools account for a good deal of this
expense? Obviously, but it is an expense which also
benefits the rest of the town's buildings as well.
The other two items in the article were "$524,605
for retired teacher insurance and special education
assessment" (of which the vast majority is for the
former) and "$1,463,125 for benefits and insurance
for school employees." These items clearly fall into
the category of school-related expenses. However,
these are items which the "town" side of the budget
has been "covering" for decades.
I mention all of this in the context of the recent let-
ters from Mr. McElroy and Mr. Fit/simmons who
largely feel that runaway school expenses are to
blame for our exploding tax bills. The central thesis
of my Ictter-to-the-editor two weeks ago was thai
School expenses are not appreciably greater today
than they were 20 years ago. In 1985. the school
budget constituted about SOpercent of the overall
town budget. If you do the arithmetic and back out
some of the numbers listed above, the SOpercent fig-
ure is roughly the same today. (And if you do nol
include the 4()perceni cost of the new schools to ihe
town. i.e.. ihe fixed mortgage payment which most
accountants would nol consider to be an "operating
expense." the ratio of the school operating budget
relative to the overall town budget for 2005 is prob-
ably less than it was in 1985).
About the only assertion made by both Mr.
Fit/simmons and Mr. McElroy which unequivocal-
ly is correct is that our tax bills (though not our tax
rate) rank in the lop 10 in the stale, truly a dubious
distinction. The reasons why our ta\ bills have been
growing faster relative to olher communities' in
recent years are numerous, but here are some of the
major ones:
I ) The local aid formula from ihe stale has been
tilted in favor of lower-income communities in
recent years even more than it was before the end of
the good times in 2<XX). In FY 2001, local aid from
the state covered 1 1 .83percent of Cohasset's operat-
ing budget. In FY 2005, local aid covered only
7.92percent of our budget (These figures are from
the introduction to the 2(XM town warrant.):
2) The state aid formula for education in particu-
lar has been altered to favor poorer communities at
the expense of those such as Cohasset. Essentially,
our governor and legislature have left middle-class
suburbs to fend for ourselves, a trend which will
continue in FY 21X16 according to the governor in
his recent speech to the State Assoc. of School
Superintendents;.
3) As we all know. Cohasset has not substantial-
ly enhanced its commercial tax base in the past Hi
years compared to many other communities, where
box-store malls and office building complexes have
been built. The boom years of commercial construc-
tion in the 1990s 'bypassed us. Our reliance On
homeowners to pay for municipal services has been
increasing, nol decreasing, relative to mosl Other
cities and towns. I am not saying thai we should
open up the town lo this sort of development, hut we
should be aware thai there is a price to pa) l« »r main-
taining our town "as we know it" in an era of declin-
ing stale aid; and
4) Although we have approved debt-exclusion
overrides for new schools in recent years, so (00
have many olher communities. But unlike most oth-
ers, we also have approved overrides lor sewers
which uniquely have added to our tax hills
I too, share the frustration and concern ol others
with regard to our upwardly-spiraling tax bills
However, to blame the children, teachers, adminis-
trators, and School Committee of Cohasset fbi this
problem evidences a myopic attempt to find a con-
venient SC&pegoal Without looking at Ihe real rea-
sons why we (and virtually every olher city and
town in the stale l find ourselves facing PTop. 2-
l/2overrides more often than we would like.

Creating charming homes and villages
NATURAL VIEW
Jim Shipsky
A developer was going to cut down six trees along
'King Street. He had already marked them with
orange spray paint, chainsaw -ready. Bui wait, the
trees are on Town property. Fortunately a King
Street resident noticed the orange markings and trig-
gered a public hearing. Ten residents attended the
•March 9 meeting and defended the trees, insisting
ihe dev eloper did not have ihe right to destroy lives
"owned" by all Cohasset residents.
Andy Swanson, Cohasset's tree warden, had
inspected the trees and found them healthy. He
defended them The trees were saved One is an
Eastern Pine about 70 feet tall, waving in the bree/e.
a beautiful pan of that magical passageway along-
p side Lily Pond. What a wonderful legacy to leave
our descendents!
Meanwhile, on the olher side of 3A. behind Stop
& Shop, is a Town-owned woodland of about 10
acres. Il is an absolutely beautiful place of great bio-
diversity: uplands w ith a maturing forest and under-
story. wetlands, hahital for many wildlife species
Most of this beautiful place is threatened by another

developer': Ihe Selectmen ol Cohasset, They have
offered it to Northland Residential Corporation as
pan of the proposed Cook Estate project However,
a stay of execution is possible here loo.
On March 10 Northland commented on a reduced
development thai would allow entirely on-site
sewage treatment: 45 market-rate units and 15
affordable units. This scheme would not require use
of the 10-acre Town forest. The woodland could be
defended with a conservation restriction, protecting
our water supply, and leaving students of Deer Hill
School and all residents the legacy of this beautiful
eO isy stem.
This would reopen the question of where and how
to build more new affordable senior homes. If you
look at the historic process that created charming
homes and villages, you find a piecemeal process.
In this process each new building is designed by an
individual, usually with mots in the place, who real-
ly cares about the outcome. The design responds I"
buildings that already exist, in a way not unlike how
Nature grows an organism. Visualize Italian hill
tow ns. English or French villages, or Greek island
towns. These were never built 95 units at a whack
by a speculative developer. Thai process yields
cookie-cutter projects without life, lacking in Spirit
Cohasset village was created using a piecemeal
process. Someone w ho really cared buill each build-
ing. The Charm Of Cohasset v illage is entirely due to
this process. It worked greal then and can work great
now. If you look at Cohasset village with fresh
vision, you can spot many opportunities to insert
senior homes. Not units, but homes. Charming cot-
tages owners can love. Duplexes. Little clusters.
Imagination can yield endless variety. The homes
can be made green' and sustainable, protecting
Earth and anticipating the rising energy costs lhal
have already begun.
Yes. zoning relief will be needed. But if you were
a senror. which would you prefer: boring cookie-
cutler projects no one can love, w ith soaring utility
costs, or charm and authentic atmosphere powered
by low -cost renewable energy?

3A widening, wetlands and critter crossings
A a pan of the Greenbush rail project.
/A C ihe MBTA has agreed to widen Route
• lVlJ.U at Lower King Street to accom-
modate a left-turn lane onto King Street for the
southbound traffic. (For those nol familiar with the
term "Lower King Street." this is the portion of
King Street that runs from the intersection of Forest
1 Avenue and North Main Street to Route 3A.)
ii This reconfiguration will avoid congestion on
Route 3A as southbound cars make the left turn
onto King Street. The widening will begin approx-
imately at Hingham Lumber on the north. Route 3A
will go back to its normal width just before Rose
Hill. The total distance along Route 3A involved in
this construction will be a little more lhan 1.300
feel, or about 4/10 mile. We have contacted all abut-
ters and w ill provide their comments to the MBTA.
More little known facts — As you may know.
Cohasset has the distinction of having the most wet-
lands adjacent to the Greenbush rail line. Thus, con-
struction will remove some of these wetlands. For
each square fool of wetlands that the MBTA
removes, they have agreed lo replicate two square
feel of new wetlands. The reason for the 2 for I
replication is that Mother Nature is hard to fool.
Newly constructed wetlands often do not truly
become wetlands but revert to their former status.
So. the 2 for 1 replication offers a conservative
approach thai accounts for newly constructed wet-
lands that fail to become permanent wetlands.
Most of the wetland replication for the entire
Greenbush project will be in Cohasset. They will be
constructed in the land area to the south of and
behind the boat storage yard on Route 3A almost up
to Laugelle Lane. The MBTA has already pur-
chased this property from several owners in antici-
pation of the wetland reconstruction . A key part of
the wetland replication will be to populate ihe new
wetlands with plants that are typically found in
local wetlands. The construction of these new wet-
lands is currently scheduled to take place this com-
ing fall.
Speaking of Wetlands, most of us are familiar
w iih the small critters, turtles, frogs, etc.. thai popu-
late the wetlands. As an accommodation lo the
spring migration of these creatures from one side of
the rail bed lo ihe olher. the MBTA has designed
"critter crossings " These are small tunnels lhal per-
mit Ihe small animals to migrate from one side U
the olher under ihe tracks w ithoul harm.
After ihe critter migration season is over, approx-
imately by May I. the MBTA will begin its task of
marking and clearing trees and brush along the right
of way. Remember, ihe MHTA will murk trees that
will not be removed with red and black striped rib-
bon. Any trees and brush between these marked
trees w ill be removed.

Northland Developers say
without sewer access, due lo
limitations of the soils on
site, only 60 units could be
constructed.
Zoning regulations, under
the Senior Overlay Bylaw,
require 25 percent ol the total
units constructed he set aside
as "affordable'' to households
with an income of up to SO
percent the area median .
income. This would result in
45 market-rate units and 15
affordable units.
Taking into consideration
only 45 markel-rate units are
available to "subsidize" the
development costs of the
affordable units. Northland
said it expects the market-rate
townhouses would have to be
priced at a minimum of
$800,000 each. Those esti-
mates assume the cost of
land acquisition is similar lo
the price of the Cook parcel
and development costs are
similar to what was projected

rate rental apartments,
Northland say s il understands
there are citizens that worry
projects, including the Cook
Estate, may step in line ahead
of residents who have been
wailing for municipal connec-
tions. Northland says in light
of that concern, it will offer to
don. ite sufficient funds to the
sewer commission to remove
four times the amount of Mow it
would generate, by making
infiltration and inflow repairs.
Infiltration and inflow, or l&l.
is water which seeps into leaky
pipes from the outside and
affects capacity.
Northland believes through
l&l repairs, the sewer commis-
sion cm eliminate up to 2 1 .ooo
gpd 0( inflow to the town's
sewer, and the apartments will
only generate 5.250 gpd. for a
new inflow reduction of 15.750
gpd Northland would pay Ihe
town a certain amount of
money which il would use to
make the repairs. Based on
previous experience, Northland
said il thinks a reasonable num-
ber would be $94,500, or S4.50
per gallon at 2 1 .000 gallons per
day'
In addition lo l.vi payment.
Northland has proposed paying
the normal sewer connection
fee at SI 5.1 KK I per unit. Wilh
35 units, the total would be
$525,000, Added to the l&l
payment, ihe town could
receive a one-time payment of
$619,500, Northland also said
the Sewer Commission could
potentially receive $17,500 per
year in ongoing sewer lees
Can this option
go forward?
The town is trying to meet a
need lor senior housing, as well
as gel out from under the threat
of more 40B housing projects.
Chapter 40B is the state's 30-
year-old law that allows devel-
opers to skirt local zoning in
exchange for providing afford-
able housing. To help encour-
age development of the kinds
of housing projects the town
needs, the Senior Multi-family
Residence Overlay District
bylaw was drafted and
approved at the 2002 fall
Special Town Meeting.
The Cook Estate project will
be the second project to file
under the town's SMROD
bylaw, which allows develop-
ers to build higher densilv
housing projects — as many as
10 units per acre — in
exchange for providing afford-
able housing. The planning
board holds a public hearing
process for ihe project and
decides whether lo grant a spe-
cial permit.
At the March 15 selectmen's
meeting, Margv Charles, who
has been sitting on the Cook
Estate working group, brought
the new Northland proposal to
the board's attention. The
Cook Estate working group has
been charged with investigal
ing all possible alternatives for
building senior housing on the
Cook Estate properly.
Selectman Michael Sullivan
said the Northland proposal is
similar to solutions he has
heard other projects bring for-
ward before.
That concept was put forth
by Cedarmere way back w hen
and it was not acceptable.'' said
Sullivan, adding he has already
put in a call to Sewer
Commission Chairman Ray
Kasperowicv about the
Northland proposal and Town
Counsel Paul DeRensis will
also he asked to weigh in on the
mailer
Since 2003. developers for
Cedarmere. a proposed 105-
Unil senior housing project slat-
ed to he built off Beechwood
Streel on the former Hayes
Esiate — the first project to file
under the SMROD bylaw —
have proposed a similar sce-
nario for their project They
proposed making improve-
ments to help reduce l&l to the
Elm Street plant which would
boost capacity by a little more
than 1 5,000 gpd. which is equal
to Ihe amount Cedarmere
would expend. Therefore,
developers said they had pro-
posed a "zero impact." project.
In addition. Cedarmere devel-
opers said they would pay for a
cassette upgrade which would
boost current capacity to
roughly 450.0(H) gallons per
day. which they said with exist-
ing capacity would be enough
not only lo accommodate itself,
but all of the anticipated tic-ins
of the Little Harbor area.
Atlantic Avenue. Jerusalem
Road Extension. Old Coach
Road, and a 60-unit senior
housing development on the
Cook Estate. Along with that
cassette upgrade. Cedarmere
developers said they would
also explore access to the town
Of Hull's capacity for future
Cohasset projects, and work to
further the sewering of Little
Harbor. They submitted a
sewer application and were
denied by ihe Sewer
Commission and are currently
in the throes of an appeal
process
Cedarmere continues to move
forward, as il has received DEP
approval for an alternative on-
site wastewaler system, but
developers have not given up
on a municipal connection, as n
is their preferred method of
wastewater disposal. Projects
yielding more than KI.(KM) gpd.
are required to obtain a ground-
water discharge permit from
the state. Northland developers
say implementing an on-site
system similar to ihe one
Cedarmere will use has been
investigated and ii is not a
\ iable option.
In addition. before
Cedarmere put forth its plans.
AvalonBay developers, who
are looking to build a 200-unil
40B project off Route 3A. were
told by town officials lhat pur-
suing a municipal sewer con-
nection Was noi an option due
to a lack of sewer capacity.
Developers then began the
quest lor an alternate means of
wastewater disposal, acting in
good faith lhat a connection
would not be a possibility.
There could be legal ramifica-
tions if another project was
given a connection, even
though Avalon never filed an
application for a sewer connec-
tion.
Selectman Ronnie
McMorris said in her opinion,
the Northland proposal
addresses the wastewater prob-
lem a little differently than the
Cedarmere proposal. She
added, in doing research, she
was shocked lo find only one-
third of the homes in Cohasset
are being served by the plain
due to the large amount of I&l
seeping in. and it would be a
benefit to have that taken care
of.
Due to the preexisting com-
mitment to sewering Little
Harbor. McMorris said. "This
is something we might want to
talk to the DEP about.'' adding
input from the State as well as
potentially hiring private coun-
sel could be necessar) vt hen
determining how to proceed
with any sewer connections in
town.
Voters ai the 2003 special Pall
Town Meeting allocated $4 5
million lor the purchase of the
22-acre parcel of Cook-owned
property, which was then mar-
keted 10 developers Northland

by the town, and the developers
are slated to purchase the Cook

as the adjacent K.7 acres of

for senior housing. There will
be a double closing, transfer-
ring ihe property from ihe
Cooks to the developer.

for a total of 14.250 total gal-
lons per day. a one-time con-
nection fee of $ 1 5.000 per unit
would yield $1,425,000.
Northland would also be will-
ing to make infiltration and

would help decrease the
amount of water which is cur-
renUy seeping into the town's
pipes, therefore affecting

to 21.000 gpd).
However, with both Avalon
and Cedarmere denied sewer
access, there could be financial

ensue. Cedarmere also offered
to make l&l repairs as pan of
its proposal.

QUESTION OF THE WEEK - SELECTMAN
March 18. 2005

For the selectman candidates: The Cook Estate project has
been heralded as providing badly needed housing for our senior
SELECTMAN/
SELECTMAN,'
GaryVandemei
•Cook Group Won't Budge,"
ihe Mariner's headline story last
week, indicated that the Cook
Estate Working Group is unwill-
ing to look at alternatives to the
proposed 95-unit housing com-
plex. I think they are making a
mistake.
Because Cedarmere's 78 mid-
price "Over-55" homes obviate
the need for Cook's 60 such
homes. I believe a total re-think of
the Cook project is necessary. The
re-think would be based on a
downsized project emphasizing
on-site septic, green space, and
affordable housing. The need for
affordable ownership housing (as
opposed to or in addition to
affordable rental housing) should
be addressed.
The key to making Cook into a
smaller project is to reduce its cost
to potential developers, and there
are three ways to accomplish this:
(1) Cohasset can contribute
money, e.g., it pays the estate $4.5
million and sells to a developer
for, say. .$3.5 million. (2) The
property is obtained from the
estate for a lower purchase price.
(3) One or more individual house
lots are carved out of the Cook
property and are sold to raise
money which would offset and
effectively reduce the purchase
price. If these cost reduction mea-
sures are unpalatable to the town
or to the estate, then, without a
sewer connection I do not believe
the project could be saved.
In this case, future alternatives
for affordable senior housing
should be focused closer to the
downtown area, with its proximi-
ty to shops, churches, town hall,
and harbor. Such alternatives
would be consistent with "Smart
Growth" practices, designed to
improve the quality of life while
reducing urban sprawl, energy
consumption, and air pollution.
"Neither the words of our
leaders
Nor the attitudes of the
rest of us.
Can, in isolation, alter reality.
What actually transforms
reality and
Produces positive change
is the interaction
Of those two forces. " —
Author Unknown
It is time to engage those forces
in a town wide, open dialog, limit-
ed only by our imagination (as
long as we are realistic). We need
to alter the perceived reality of
what can and can't be accom-
plished. It is time for Cohasset to
take a collective deep breath and
re-examine the Cook Estate pro-
ject.
This will require that we look to
the Trustees of Jane's Trust for
great understanding. The Town of
Cohasset would like to leave a
permanent legacy truly worthy of
Jane's memory. Our current
conundrum is not something Jane
would have preferred for
Cohasset. I believe she would
have wanted what would have
been best for her "legacy of gen-
erosity" and at the same time be
best for Cohasset.
Cohasset and the Trustees need
to recognize that all costs are
variable. That means that the
value of the land is based on what
it can support for development.
Percolation tests have con-
firmed the site will handle a sep-
tic system for 60 units. The
Second Amended Judgment is
one overriding reality we cannot
ignore. The commonsease solu-
tion is to sewer the Little Harbor
Watershed and put the amended
judgment behind us.
By downsizing the Cook Estate
project to W) units on site, we
avoid the legal ramifications of
why this project merits a sewer
connection over previously
denied developers. With the
Trustees approval, we can main-
tain the option for a second phase
if the town ever decides it is
appropriate to extend sewer on
Sohier Street.

Cook's trust Jane's Trust can be
found online at: www.hembar
.com/selectsrv/janes/
SELECTMAN/
The C(K)k Estate is a tremen-
dous opportunity for Cohasset
that we should not let slip away.
This project was approved
overwhelmingly by the Special
Town Ma-ting in November of
2003 and offers many benefits
to Cohasset. First, it will pro-
vide 30 units of much needed
affordable housing for our
seniors, a well documented
need in surveys conducted by
the Town's Senior Housing
Committee. Second, the Town
will realize over S500.000 from
the purchase and immediate
resale of the property which can
be used to replenish our reserve
fund. Third, the Cook Estate
project will expand our tax
MM, generating S425.0O0 per
year in new property taxes, thus
reducing the pressure for over-
rides. Finally, the project will
help limit our exposure to future
Chapter 40B developments.
It has been determined that an
on-site septic system lor the
entire Cook Estate project is not
feasible. Northland, the devel-
oper chosen for the project in
March 2004. recently proposed
a solution which shows
promise. Northland proposes to
build an on-site septic system to
service all of the market rale
units in the project. It would
ask to connect only the afford-
able housing component of the
project to the town sewer sys-
tem. Northland would donate
to the Sewer Commission
enough money to fix groundwa-
ter leaks into our existing sewer
system sufficient to increase our
sewer capacity by four times
what is needed for the afford-
able units of the Cook project.
Northland's proposal will there-
fbre increase sewer capacity for
existing residences by fixing
leaks at no cost to the town.
This solution would allow the
Cook Estate project to proceed
as planned, provide affordable
housing for our seniors,
increase our capacity to sewer
existing residences in town, and
provide additional revenues to
Cohasset. The Cook Estate pro-
ject would be a plus for
Cohasset
QUESTION OF THE WEEK - SCHOOL COMMITTEE
For the school committee candidates: The current school com-
mittee has said the school budget process this year has been a
transparent one. Do you agree? What improvements, if any, would
you work toward to ensure the public is informed along the way,
and is not iust presented with the end result ''
When problems arise, fiscally
responsible decisions must be
made to maximize resources and
initiate corrections to prevent
important programs from being
lost. Without sufficient trans-
parency and accurate financial
tools, both students and taxpayers
stand to suffer.
To improve the current process,
in addition to presenting accurate
detailed budgets, two Articles, if
passed, at Annual Town Meeting
will provide periodic totals
throughout the year of actual
expenditures for all town budgets.
This will allow everyone in town
the opportunity to view the infor-
mation at the Library or Town
Clerk's office to keep informed.
For schools specifically, another
avenue would be to post budget
updates onto the school website
for review.
Providing greater transparency
into the budgeting process will
allow parents and the Cohasset
community as a whole to play a
greater role in the success of our
schools.
1-YEAR/Lee Jenkins
A transparent budget is a docu-
ment from which one should be
able to cull information as to
where we were and where we are
going.
After studying Cohasset school
budgets for many years. FY'06
comparatively gives few details
that were formerly supplied. It
provides a bird's eye view and
summari/ations of budget work-
sheets without line-item details or
the individual school itemizations.
For an in depth comprehension
one should be able to examine
anticipated outlays in each depart-
ment by line item with indications
of current budget, projected bud-
get amounts and. when possible,
prior year expenditures..
FY'06 includes a pie chart indi-
cating that 7 1 percent of the bud-
-get is earmarked for salaries with-
'. out supplying specifics. To under-
. stand department salary expenses
".it's important to view a break-
"down showing each employee's:
position: current and projected
salary; step and grade, as has been
done formerly. Administration
salaries should specify depart-
ment Chairman arid team leaders
with their stipends. Stipends for
sports and extra curricular activi-
ties should also be listed.
1-YEAR/Pam Wkon
Under the leadership of the new
Superintendent the school com-
mittee has provided clear access
to all of the issues they're working
on. If there is still a feeling of
communication breakdown with-
in the community, then we need to
work to over communicate these
issues.
It is my understanding that since
Dr. Walsh's arrival in July, she has
been working diligently, to clean
up the budget, and to remedy five
critical areas in the old town bud-
get that were under funded. In
order to create an environment of
"transparency." which I prefer to
call open communication and
inclusion, she has created a strate-
gic plan which includes members
of various town committees, town
officials, parents and representa-
tives of all the schools. The result
was the creation of a strategic plan
for the entire school system. She
has worked diligently to created a
zero- based budget and is using
goals and objectives of this plan
for her priorities. In creating these
results, the 2006 budget has been
discussed publicly at each school
committee meeting.
Dr. Walsh has unraveled the line
items and has clustered them
according to DOE reporting
requirements. The budget, this
year, is very clear and concise. 1
believe that a goal of the school
committee is to encourage com-
munity involvement. A well
informed community fosters
cohesive creative thinking and
inclusion. I believe that this is the
goal of our current committee
members and their
Superintendent. If we are to keep
our community well informed
and in an environment of open
thinking, we mast benchmark as
often as possible, to evaluate what
other communities are doing to

committee to accomplish their
intended work, they must be trust-
ed and supported, with the under-
standing that their ultimate goal is
the wellbeing of our schools.
SCHOOL COMMITTEE
3- YEAR/Alfred Slanetz
This year's school budget more
accurately represents the schools
true operation than that of previ-
ous years. Denise Walsh and
Karen Park have done a good job
starting from scratch six months
ago. However, there is still a lot of
additional work that needs to be
done.
First to even understand where
the resources are allocated relative
to our educational mission and
whether we are on budget, we
need to hire a talented financial
person to provide clear and con-
cise monthly information. With
this information, expenditures can
be managed to assure that every-
thing we do is cost effective and
focused on educational value.
Furthermore, new educational
programs and alternative ways of
providing services can be finan-
cially modeled so that informed
decisions can he made to proac-
tively improve and optimize the
quality of education.
Of greater concern to me. how-
ever, is the complete lack of trans-
parency on the true resource
needs to provide an educational
program of the absolute highest
quality. Every year, the adminis-
tration and faculty propose the
minimum program that they think
may have a chance of getting
funded rather than one that would
be educationalls best Then, in the
name of finding an acceptable
override, the School Committee
and Selectmen cut from there. If
the School Committee and Town
do not have the opportunity to
hear what an optimal program
would look like and cost how can
the School expect decisions that
optimize educational value?
This self-defeating band-aide
approach over mans yean has
created a vicious cycle — a con-
tinual decline in educational qual-
ity and a significant growth in
fixed costs that contribute little to
educational value in the class-
room. We must change this
dynamic and design a well
thought out integrated plan to cre-
ate an educational program that is
commensurate with the high qual-
ity expectations of our communi-
ty.

CORRESPONDENT
Rarely do Cohasset tans come
across a high school basketball
player with the speed, agility, and
strong defensive abilities of
Nicole Whitney. She also domi-
nates on the soccer and track
folds.
Until age three she lived in
Cohasset. Then the Whitney fam-
ily moved to Connecticut and. a
few years later, down to Virginia.
Luckily for Cohasset's spoils
teams. Nicole returned to
Cohasset in the eighth grade. She
quickly made friends with many
girls, including Casey Anderson,
w ho shared an interest in athletics.
Nicole seemed destined to lake
up basketball. In fact one could
Brgue basketball can be found in
the Whitney family DNA. Her
mother, a former CHS lady hoop-
ster. encouraged Nicole to join her
friends in sports activities.
Today. Nicole's parents can be
found at every one of her games,
cheering heron.
After losing many seniors to
graduation last year. Nicole
assumed the co-captain position
and set out to rebuild a successful
learn. With the help of fellow cap-
lain Casey Anderson. Nicole
helped lead the 2004-05 Skippers
to their second tournament berth
in two years.
Whitney's leadership skills
caught the attention of her head
coach. John Levangie.
"Nicole ranks as one of the best
defensive players I have ever
coached and one of my best cap-
tains." he said. "She set an exam-
ple for everyone to follow. Her
commitment to the team was just
exceptional."

the season She say s she saw her
shooting skills as her biggest
weakness. Yet she managed to
find her range outside of the 3-
point arc. She consistently con-
tributed around 10 points a game.
Not tlx) shabby for an athlete
known for her defensive play.
When asked what aspect of bas-
ketball she liked Ihe most. Nicole
Said, "Playing on a small team.
And the kids this year were really
nice.
"I got to know a lot ol the under-
classmen. I could nol have asked
for a more positive experience
Every day l looked forward to
practice."
Nicole also enjoyed her leader-
ship role as ,i co-captain.
"Helping to lead the team to the
tourney gave me personal satisfac-
tion. Everybody contributed and
did an awesome job." she said.
One of her younger teammates,
Lacey Richardson, shared with
Ihe Mariner her opinion of Nicole.
"Nicole taught us w hat to do on
and off Ihe court." she said. "W ith
her strong leadership and ability
to lilt all our spirits. Nicole hail a
key influence in making this a fun
season."
Amazingly. Nicole says basket
ball does not rank as her best
sport. Last fall, she lit up the soc-
cer field and served as a co-cap-
tain for thai squad as well.
In the spring. Cohassel fans w
find Whitney zipping around the
track like the Lnciyizer Bunny.
Rarely does another runner match
Nicole's scorching running pace
When not on the court or athlet-
ic field. Nicole finds time for
meaningful school and communi-
ty activities, livery Other month.
Nicole and her friends help out at
Father Bill's Shelter
She also enjoys serving 00 her
yearbook committee and on the
Social Awareness Organization.
And. of course, she loves to just
hang with her friends, go to the
beach, or go shopping.
Her routine will likely change
nexi fall. Nicole hopes io attend a
school in New England and is Mill
deciding where she wants 10 con-
tinue her education.

Two gymnasts end
career at state meet
By Mark Goodman
For a year, qualifying for the
March 6 state individuals
gymnastics meet has been on
trie mind of Norwell senior
Samantha Rosen.
You couldn't blame her. con-
sidering how close she came
last year.
"I missed il last year by five-
hundredths of a point in both
events." Rosen said. "Making
il this year was definitely a
huge goal for me."
In order a qualify, a gy mnast
has to be in the top 1 5 of their
section. With three sections,
that's 45 athletes coming
from over l()0 programs
across the stale, so qualifying
is no easy task.
Rosen joined Cohasset
senior Nancy Durkin as Nor-
Coh's representatives in
Beverly. Rosen scored an
8.25 at the meet in both the
vault and tloor exercise.
Durkin competed in the all-
around competition, and
scored between 8. I and 8.3 in
all four events.
"We both had a great meet."
Rosen said. "Some of the
scons there were unbeliev-
able. To even get 1 0th place
in the all-around, you needed
a score of about 37. It was
lough competition, but we
both had a lot of fun."
And for both, it was their
last competition as high
school gymnasts. Rosen says
she will not be continuing the
sport in college, a sport thai
she has trained for year-round.
"It was kind of weird know -
ing that this was our last
meet," she said. "But we
knew it had to end for both of
us eventually."
And for il to end at the state's
biggest event is no small
achievement. Congratulations.

Finally time to go a little Mad
FROM THE
SIDELINES
Julie Ann Neveko
I love this time of year. You
know, when the snow finally
starts to melt (keep your fingers
crossed), the birds start chirping,
the sun begins making regular
appearances. It can only mean
one thing: Time for March
Madness.
Brackets were released
Monday and by the end of the
week, every office in the country
will have some sort of pool
going. Even those who know vir-
tually nothing about sports will
turn in a bracket and talk trash
when they do.
Games start Thursday and until
then, we'll use the days leading
up to the action to read every
newspaper article, research every
sports website, and watch all the
ESPN coverage we can stand in
an attempt to pick the perfect
bracket. We'll change it a hun-
dred times before we come to the
realization that maybe we should
enter two.
We'll be glued to the TV for
three weeks, watching the action
unfold. The first couple of rounds
are always the less stressful.
Here, you basically pick the
higher seeds and add a few
upsets. But the tide can change
very quickly in the second round
if one of your picks get knocked
off. This is where we scream at
the TV cursing at kids from a
team we never cared to watch
until now.
Fear not. at least you have that
second bracket to fall hack on.
Win or lose, though. March
Madness is what sports are all
about. Drama, excitement, heart-
break, and joy. the NCAA hoop
tourney covers all bases. It's a
welcome break from the glitz
and glam of the NBA, an organi-
zation that determines a player's
worth by his "bling, bling" fac-
tor.
This tourney is about living out
hopes and dreams. It's lifelong
aspirations coming to a head. It's
kids working together to achieve
a common goal. It's every
moment hanging on every three-
pointer or foul shot. Virtually
every team has a player with a
story either inspirational or hard-
luck. It 's the culmination of years
ot hard work, determination, and
sacrifice and the it all unfolds on
a national stage.
It's hard to remember all this
when there's money on the line
(wink. wink), but do me a favor
and take the time to really watch
these games. Listen to the stories,
admire the performances. Hey,
you're already watching them
anyway. Trust me. it will be more
than worth your while.
This ain't my fantasy
So a few of my guy friends had
their big Fantasy Baseball draft
Sunday afternoon. I might be
alone on this one. but I just don't
get the fascination with this. One
guy tlew all the way from San
Diego to attend the live draft and
hours later was highly disap-
pointed with his team.
They all spent weeks doing
research on the internet and con-
spired to buy the best fantasy
baseball books, all in an effort to
get the best players cheap. They
go around the room and bid on
guys until they've spent an imag-
inary $200 to build a team.
They came out of the four- hour
draft with mixed feelings, all of
which came out at the dinner
table. Some were ecstatic, others
depressed. Some felt betrayed by
friends who opted not to honor
pre -draft agreements and instead
"stole" their guy. while others
kept their word and got hosed in
the process. By the end of the
meal, they were all pointing lin-
gers and praying for player
injuries.
When baseball starts less than a
month from now. they'll be
online all day everyday setting
up their lineups for that night's
game and talking trash in the
"comment" box. They will watch
the games they can depending on
what area of the country they are
and will tune into SportsCenter
even more religiously just to
catch those stat scrolls at the bot-
tom of the TV frame. This will be
their lives everyday for the next
seven months.
Call me crazy, but this ain't no
fantasy of mine!
I tried doing a fantasy baseball
team once two years ago and had
stopped caring by the end of
May. It's not because I wasn't
doing well, it's because it was
just too much involvement. I
went in knowing I would never
last for that very reason.
Everyone knows nothing really
matters until after the All-star
break. Until then, baseball does-
n't really hold my interest.
God bless these guys.

FROM COASTAL STARS. PAGE 15
1.2.3 with trophies in hand.
This weekend included all kinds
of excitement, not all of which was
related to any hockey games.
To mention a few of the high-
lights:
- One Da1 id Hasselhoft
Baywatch impersonation by life-
guard Tim Leahy.
- One Bill Murray Caddyshack
moment when a "Baby Ruth bar"
found its way to the bottom of the
hotel pool*
- One flu epidemic that wiped
out parents and kids alike.
- One devastating head injury
that was quickly tended to by the
parents of the Coastal STARS ER
department.

Bomb scare in Tedeschi Plaza
Police are still seeking informa-
tion about who may have left a
large cooking pot on the side-
walk near the curb in front of
CVS in Tedeschi Pla/a on
Tuesday evening.
A call came into dispatch from
an employee at the plaza at
roughly 5 p.m. alerting police to
the object. Cohasset firelighters
and police went to the plaza to
investigate further and observed
a large metal, cooking pot with a
lid on the curb.
"At that time there was not a lot
of information - no one knew
who put it there." Police Chief
"We're happy this
turned out not to
be a life-
threatening
— Police Chief
James Hussey
James Hussey said. He explained
Fire Capt. Jim Runey. who was
in charge at the scene, therefore
determined, the item should be

treated as a potential hazard and
called for further assistance.
Police cleared out the stores
and set up a perimeter; cars were
moved, Hussey said. Most of the
employees and customers went
over to the Starbucks area of the
plaza.
Hussey said Chief Roger
Lincoln asked for a response
from the bomb squad which
operates out of the state Fire
Marshall's Office. Bomb techni-
cians, who had been training at
Logan Airport, arrived within the
hour. They geared up and a tech-
nician put on a special suit. The
object was able to be x-rayed on
site and the film developed.
"Nothing bomb-related was
seen," Hussey said. He said the
lid was removed and inside there
were other covers and pots.
'The evidence was cleared and
collected by our own detectives
and the perimeter was broken
down," Hussey said.
"Now we are trying to deter-
mine if someone placed it there
with the intent of causing an
uproar," he said.
Hussey said either it was a
hoax, or someone put it down
perhaps in the parking lot, forgot
about it and drove away, and
someone else seeing it in the
middle of the lot. moved it to the
curb.
"We"re happy this turned out
not to be a life-threatening situa-
tion," he said. "From beginning
to end, the entire matter took
about two hours - we really
appreciate the cooperation of all
the store owners and managers.
"The stores were able to open
their doors again in two hours,
that was great."
Hussey said whoever owns the
pots should not be embarrassed
to come forward so the police
can bring this incident to closure
and rule out the possibility that it
was a hoax.
"It's not something that you
normally see - something just
dropped off at the curb." Hussey
said. "This had to be handled as a
serious matter."

had planned to be back on his

ihe police. "The whole thing
would have been 15 minutes."
Jubinville said.
Jubinville said part of the
charges relate lo Gralta's using
Slate salt on a private way. but
he said because Gratia plows
both privately and for the stale,
he had a combination of salt in
the back of his truck. In the
end. "One could make the
argument lhal Ihe last yard of
salt he used for Ihe nursing
home was his anyway," he
said.
In addition, Jubinville said
Gratia has nol received pay-
ment for ihe plowing he did
lhal night, and as a result, the
Commonwealth may find there
was on v iolation.
Jubinville said they are going
lo try lo resolve ihe issue dur-
ing the April pre-trial confer-
ence, and il is his hope Ihe
Commonwealth will dismiss
ihe charges However, he said
if il doesn't. Ihey will bring the

Hare is sweet
on 'Charity'
1 .
Revival of classic musical
comes to town prior to Broadway
Actor Denis O'Hare freely admits he is not a fan of
most Broadway musicals. "I don't enjoy too many of them,
because they sugarcoal reality," the Tony Award-winner
explained recently by telephone from Chicago. O'Hare does like
"Sweet Charity," however, which is a good thing since he has a
featured role in the Walter Bobbie-directed revival of the musi-
cal beginning performances Friday at Boston's Colonial Theatre
prior to Broadway.
"This show is true to the Fellini film. Nights of Cabiria,' that
inspired it The world it depicts is based in reality, which is
of the reasons I can get behind this production. I do
theater, but I did workshops of this show
Tomei and Jane Krakowski and I stayed with it I
M Applegate was cast in the lead." With a book by Neil
music by Cy Coleman and lyrics by Dorothy Fields, and
based on an original screenplay by Federico Fellini. Tullio
Pinnelli, and Ennio Plaiano, "Sweet Charity" is a funny and
poignant look at the romantic missteps of dance hall hostess
Charity Hope Valentine.
Among the Mr. Wrongs who capture Charity's heart is Oscar,
an accountant who falls in love with Charity and then leaves her.
It is an unusual story progression for a musical comedy, but one
endorsed by Oscar's alter ego. "Oscar is a very shy person.
Meeting Charity changes him, but he comes to his senses when
it turns out she is not who she said she was and is instead a dance
hall girl. Oscar dumps Charity when he realises he can't handle
what she does for a living," explains O'Hare. "I'm Oscar's advo-
cate, even when the audience is mad at him for leaving Charity,
because the decision he makes is an honest one."
Oscar may leave Charity, but O'Hare is loyal to Applegate,
whose work in the role -originated in 1966 by Gwen Verdon and
played in the 1969 feature film by Shirley MacLaine - has so far
earned the "Married With Children" actress decidedly mixed
reviews on the road. "There are very few people who can play
the role of Charily and Christina is one of them. She has all the
show's big numbers ('Big Spender,' 'If My Friends Could See Me
Now,' 'Baby. Dream Your Dream') and she handles them very
well."
Applegate may spend more time at center stage, but O'Hare —
who won a 2003 Tony Award for his pitch-perfect portrayal of
an accountant in Richard Greenberg's "Take Me Out" —
is happy to share the spotlight. "I don't mind playing another
accountant. It is an improvement over the serial killers that I've
played on 'Law & Order' on television and in 'Assasins' on
Broadway," the 42 year old says with a laugh.
(At press time, it was announced that Christina Applegate will
miss the Boston engagement of "Sweet Charity" after breaking
her foot during a performance in Chicago. Broadway veteran
Charlotte D'Amboise will replace her in Boston, although
Applegate is expected to resume the role by the time show opens
in New York next month.)
"Sweet Charity" will have a pre-Broadway run at the
Colonial Theatre, 106 Boylston Street. Boston, March 18-27.

CD player. Hotels tend to have them nowaday S. Sd
I bring my CDs. which is fabulous.
Q: What sort of CDs'.'
A: Classical mainly. A little bit of ja// for thd
evenings.
Q: When you're in New York do you peoplei
watch?
A: Yes. I mean I like the street life. I like wanj
dcring around. I do like that a lot. I like being able
to go to MOM A ( Museum of Modern Art) to ha\ c
tea and look at the art. That's very pleasant. And
the fact is there are lots of mov ies and art galleries
and there's lots 10 do. Bui because I've been work-,
ing so hard I haven't really done as much .is I
might.
Q: Where's the Holy Grail in New York? ;
A: Die Holy Grail's whatever you want really. I
mean there's a Holy Grail of art. It's a metaphor,
There's a Holy Grail of books. Well, there's prob'
ably a Holy Grail of bad restaurants. A Holy Grail
of Trump buildings.
Q: Do you love New York '
A: I met my wife there. I was married there. It's
nol a place I aspire to live at the moment because
I like the sun to shine and a garden and flowers and
a little bit more nature than you get in New York.
O: What do you remember about performing in
Boston?
A: I've always enjoyed Boston as a city. And we
gel great audiences because of the colleges. It was
like Ihe best show we did. We closed our J00I tour
in Boston. They went completely mils. This lime
we played a really decrepit theater. The
Morpheum. the Mausoleum theater.
Q: What's your prediction for "Spamalot"?
A: Well, it's sort ol unstoppable al the moment
But I don't say that without trepidation and fingers
crossed. Bui the reports, they're going completer)
nuts.
Q: Is this the year of Eric Idle?
A: Well, it seems 10 be die weekend of Eric Idle
anyway. I've just had a lot of stuff open. That's ihe
way it happens in show business. It all opens at
once and so I'll go away and hide for a little while
and carry on w ith my life.

Feeling fenced in
by seawall plans
Safety may
trump beauty
By Mary Ford
MFOROSCNCCOM
The airy, white, split-rail wood-
en fence along the harbor could
soon be relegated to the annals of
Cohasset history.
Its departure, however, won't
be without considerable wailing
about the loss of small-town
character and potential view
obstruction that its more up-to-
date and safer replacement
would engender.
Christine Player, project man-
ager w ith Vine Associates, which
is designing the "harbor seawall-
scape." got another dose of town
quirkiness at Tuesday's select-
men's meeting. She was put lit-
erally on the "hot seat" to explain
fence treatment that would
enhance safety but be different
from the existing, beloved fence.
This was Player's second visit
in recent months. At the board's
Dec. 22 meeting, selectmen
asked her to return with modifi-
cations to the fence and sidewalk
design.
Building Commissioner Bob
Egan was also on hand Tuesday
to help explain state building
codes and deliver the unwelcome
news a replacement fence needs
to comply.
Town Counsel Paul DeRensis
announced in no uncertain terms
the town should not fool around
with safety issues regarding
fences. He said now that its con-
tracted engineer has explained
the current fence is unsafe, the
town can no longer plead igno-
rance and has opened itself up to
liability
"This is
inconsistent with
what most people
like to see around
the harbor."
— Selectmen Chairman
Michael Sullivan
The state requires fences w ith a
drop of more than four feet to be
at least 42 inches high and spac-
ing between vertical rails be no
more than four inches. The town
fence is much shorter and has
horizontal rails. The state doesn't
like horizontal rails because they
create a ladder effect. In other
words, a child could climb up a

Post Prom Party gets go-ahead at middle-high school
Pending update
for school board
By Mary Ford
MFORD©C NC.COM
Tlx- good news is plans arc-
moving forward for a post prom
party at the middle-high school
this spring and it should be a lot
safer for some student partici-
pants than last year's event.
The school department and par-
ent organizers are now on the
same page, so to speak, when it
comes to the potential for alcohol
abuse among the teenagers, who
could either arrive under the
influence or try to drink during
the night-long celebration.
Students and their parents will
be required to sign a responsibil-
ity contract so both will be
accountable, explained Lynn
Durfcin of the Post Prom
Committee.
While at this point the use of
breathalyzers has been ruled out,
a police presence has not.
Organizers will hire a police
detail throughout the event that
"I want to see chances made, this is verv
important that this event comes off
without a hitch."
— Adnenne MacCarthy. school committee
runs from midnight to 5 a.m.
If chaperones determine there-
is an issue with students, they
will be asked to leave and their
parents will be called. Durkin
said.
The school committee agreed
to allow the use of school facili-
ties lor the May 27 event pending
an update from the Post Prom
Committee in early April After
the prom, seniors arrive via a
trolley at the high school at mid-
night.
Event organizers are also look-
ing at a plan requiring that no stu-
dent drive to the event - a pro-
posal that won high marks from
CHS Principal Jack DeLorenzo.
"Eliminating cars completely is
an excellent idea." DeLorenzo
said at last week's school com-
mittee meeting.
The school committee has been
cool to continuing to allow the
Post Pnim Party, now in its ninth
year, at the middle-high school
following alarming reports thai
last year's event included student
drinking and rowdiness
Last year's seniors found a way
to sneak alcohol into the school
beforehand. During the day.
while the school was kept open
to allow underclassmen to view
the decorations, some siudents
apparently hid alcohol in lockers
and in the plants, and some had
alcohol taped to their legs when
the came to the party, according
to reports.
School Committee member
Adrienne MacCarthy. who
served as a chaperone li« last
year's Post hum Party, said the
experience has made her rethink
whether the school should host

Navy veteran lived
life on the water
SAMBROWN»CNC COM
Howard Gleason was always
a man of the sea. Growing up
in Cohasset surrounded by
ocean, he spent many happy
summer days sailing with his
friends and taking part in water
activities at the Cohasset Yacht
Club. While coasting along the
shores of his hometown,
Gleason gained the experience
that would one day lead him to
pursue a career in the United
States Navy, where he served
as a lieutenant during World
War II.
Gleason was bom in 1922 to
parents Hollis and Emily
Gleason. One of four children,
he lived at 38 Atlantic Ave.
with brothers Edward and
Herbert and sister Eleanor.
Eleanor remembers how her
brother always had an affinity
for the ocean. She recalled the
year her brother, along with
boyhood pals David Place.
Dave Ketchum. and Bill
Binnian bought an old 34-fOOt
sloop for $400. which they
spent the entire summer refur-
bishing. She recalled how
proud they were of the boat,
and how they used it constant-
ly. Place said he remembers
when the boat was finished, the
three sailed it all the way down
to Mt. Desert Island in Maine.
But when summer was over,
Gleason was a student at Derby
Academy in Hingham. as was
Place. The two would some-
times ride their bikes up the
newly constructed Route 3A to
KhOOl, which Pace recalls was
quite an adventure for elemen-
tary school boys. Eleanor
remembers she would take the

Village revitalization resurfaces
z\sphalt sidewalks
seen as cost saver
MFOROSCNC
Ford
COM
With so much going on in
Cohasset. not the least of w hich
are the override, sewer issues and
the April 2 annual Town Meeting
- selectmen hope townspeople
will find some time for the vil-
lage revitalization project.
They plan to hold a public
hearing within the next few
weeks to air revised plans for the
downtown area whose impnne-
ment designs have been in the
works for upwards of a decade.
The $1.8 million project is
being paid for through grants, not
local property taxes. But
streetscape improvements have
been sidetracked over the year-
due to disagreement over how
much and exactly what should he
done to revitalize the village area.
As the clock is ticking on the
stale PWED grant (Public Works
Economic Development l that
expires May 30. there's a
renewed sense of urgency in the
selectmen's office at Town Hall
to finalize plans for the project.
It's not clear il the town could
apply for another extension on
the grant, which was awarded in
2001
To that end. Selectman Ralph
Dormitzer. who also sits on the
Downtown Revitalization
Review Committee, told his fel-
low board members Tuesday,
there isn't enough money to
install concrete sidewalks, as
planned.

Potential 'home rule' petition percolates over sewer access
Could allow
Cook to hookup
By Mary Ford
MF0RDOCNC.COM
The (own could be on the verge
of taking control of its future as
far as sewers are concerned.
During a Iwo-hour-long "Cook
Estate Working Group" meeting
Tuesday, a plan surfaced by
which Cohasset could ask for a
Home Rule Petition - or special
legislation - that would allow the
town to set its own rules when it
comes to doling out sewer capac-
ity.
Town Counsel Paul IX'Rcnsis
explained that currently if the
town opts to sewer the proposed
Cook Estate, it's opening itself
up to litigation because Cook is
outside the Central Sewer
District. Other projects, which
are also outside the district, arc
ahead of it in the proverbial
sewer line.
Sewering Cook Indus also ains
the risk of having to include other
property owners along the new
sewer main that would have the
ability to connect by right. So the
town would have to look at the
totality of the geographic area in
which the project is located.
"The general laws of the com-
monwealth set up a series of
mandates and regulations and
those have consequences for the
town," DeRensis explained. In
other words, the town cannot do
"spot sewering." he said.
"We can't say. 'we're only
going to take care of Mrs.
McGillicuddy' when others with
the pipe in from of their house
have the right to conned."
He further noted it's not that the
tow n could not hook up Cook but
the real question is at what price
and what consequences.
But the answer to the town's
dilemma could lie in special leg-
islation modeled alter
Sturbridge, which enacted new
sewer hv laws to give it control of
what gets sewered. Hie legisla-
tion also provided that munici-
pality with the ability to reserve
capacity tor the future.
Essentially special legislation
would allow Cohasset to pick
and choose w hat gets sewered, as
determined by Town Meeting,
and il would all he perfectl)
legal, according 10 DeRensis
The issue is significant for
Cohasset. which is try ing to con-
struct affordable age-restricted
housing for it senior citizens on
"The general laws of the commonwealth set
up a series of mandates and regulations and
those have consequences for the town."

the Ctx)k Estate property off the
top of Sohier Street behind
Cohasset Plaza. The clock is also
ticking on the project. The heirs
to the property have given the
town until April 30 to show sig-
nificant progress.
The Cook project hit a road-
block when it was determined
the 95-unitS could not he accom-
modated with an on-site system,
as initially planned when the pro-
ject won Town Meeting
approval.
Cook developers. Northland
Residential Company, have pro-
posed a "hybrid" wastewater
proposal, using an on-site system
for the market-rate units and
hooking the affordable units up
in the sewer.
Thai proposal didn't gel high
marks from DeRensis or Scvvei
Commission Chairman Ray
Kasperowicz because it would
still Open the door to Cedarmere
and Avalon.
Cedarmere is a multi-unit,
seniors-only housing project
planned off Beechwood Street,
and Avalon is a 2(K)-unit apart-
ment complex planned off Rle.
3A.
All three - Gx>k. Cedarmere
and Avalon - would include
some affordable housing. The
Sewer commission has denied
Cedarmere and Avalon sewer
capacity.
The legislation would give the
town a variance from slate law so
it would not have to sewer on a
first-Come, first-serve basis. The
bylaw would also create sewer
districts with strict boundaries
and the only w ay |o create a new
district or change an existing one
would be at Town Meeting.
DeRensis said ihe towns of
Chelmsford and Provincetown
were able to gel variances. He
explained the state is willing to
award variances because it rec-
ognizes low ns .ire under pressure
from development and il wants
10 promote "smart growth."
Town Manager Kill Griffin
asked if the lown did every thing
as described and the legislation
was adopted, then il Redrew the
district to include Cook Estate
would the lown be protected
from litigation.
"Yes." IX-Rensis said. The
General Court (state Legislature)
is immune to lawsuits "
He said ihe special legislation
would enable the lown lo put an
end lo ils "sewer wars" and bring
peace, order and structure
The Cook Working Group
talked about the possibility ot
calling a special Town Meeting
to pass the bylaw li s too late to
include Ihe proposal on the \piil
2annuai Town Meeting Warrant.
The lown might also be able lo
enact a temporary bylaw until ihe
special Act passes,
The Committee grappled with
the complexities of the Issue and
decided il needed anolhei meet

posal to selectmen

mental rail fence made of gal-
vanized steel were met wiih
"objections at the selectmen's
meeting.
"This is inconsistent with
what most people like to see
around the harbor." Selectmen
Chairman Michael Sullivan
said.
•Player presented fence alter-
natives that do not meel code at
the request of selectmen.
DeRensis said those have to be
•off the table.
' "You cannot put anything up
•On public property that does
•not meet code, that's the end of
-it." he said.
DeRensis recalled represent-
ing a young man who fell over
a 36-inch fence and he collect-
ed S4.2 million in damages
injuries the man sustained
caused him to be a paraplegic.
"The reason is the human
body has a pivot point." he-
said. "II Ihe fence is too low. a
person goes head first,"
Sullivan asked why Ihe lown
could not just replace ihe exist-
ing fence with a similar fence,
lo which DeRensis responded
the existing fence is "an acci-
dent ready to happen."
Charles Humphreys, an attor-
ney who was in ihe audience,
suggested the lown seek a vari-
ance from ihe building code,
not for the height - which ihe
State v iews .is critical — but for
the minimum distance between
the rails.
Richard Rrooks of Nichols
Road suggested clear, plastic
Lexan sheets be used thai
would nol obstruct the view.
Richard DeLima of Summer
Street challenged whether the
exisiing fence is in fact unsafe.
In addition to investigating
fence treatments, selectmen
directed Player during iheir
Dec. 22 meeting to modify the
plans. They wanted her to
reduce ihe width of the side-
walk to accommodate better
parking, investigate using
sloped granite curbing, and
eliminate the cobble/brick
buffer strip between the road-
way and sidewalk to better
accommodate parking. She
presented plans Tuesday incor-
porating all those changes.
Much of Tuesday's discus-
sion also centered on the "sea-
wall concrete cap" that would
run along Ihe edge of ihe side-
walk nearest the harbor. The
elevated cap is seen as a safety
feature. Since ihe December
meeting, Parker reduced the
cap from 12 inches to six. hut
in a majority vote Tuesday
selectmen opted for a "flush
cap" lhai would be level with
Ihe sidewalk.
The elimination ol the raised
cap doesn'l increase the total
heighl of the fence from the
ground up because the building
code requirement would
include the cap In other words,
with a six-inch raised cap. the
fence - which is installed on
top of ihe cap - would be
inches, with a Hush cap. the
fence itself is 42 inches.
However, ihe distance from the
ground lo the lop of ihe fence
doesn'i change in either case
Selectman Ralph Dormitzer
said a steel fence would be a
"dramatic change" to the area
Humphreys, who lives off
Atlantic Avenue, described it as
a "jailhouse look."
Selectmen reached a consen-
sus ihat more community feed-
back is needed to ensure the
town is comfortable with a
fence design.
Player is going to return with
ihree alternates, one of which
meets state codes, and two of
which would need variances
from the stale code. Of the two
needing variances, one would
have vertical rails wider than
four inches and the other would
have horizontal rails.

Potential exists for student

Marshfield. Scituate and
Norwell in administering
breathalyzers to students enter-
ing school-related functions to
determine if they are under the
influence of alcohol.
The issue surfaced in January
and again last week during dis-
cussions about the annual Post
Prom Party, an event during
which students are "locked in"
at the high school following the
prom for a night full of planned
activities intended to keep
them safe.
Post prom and/or post gradu-
ation night-long events have
gmwn in popularity in many
towns over the past decade as a
way to prevent the drinking
that is often seen as a rite of
passage for teenagers during
graduation time.
While the Post Prom Party,
which is privately funded and
organized by parents, is not a
school-sponsored function, il
does involve students and is
being held at the high school
with school committee's
approval.

— Adrienne MacCarthy.
school committee
Last year's Post Prom Party
in Cohasset was marked by stu-
dent drunkenness and rovvdi-
ness - resulting in the school
committee reconsidering
whether the school department
should provide the venue for
the event.
School Committee member
Adrienne MacCarthy said
administering a breathalyzer
test to each student as he or she
arrives is the best and fairest
way to ensure "zero tolerance,"
which is what the event is sup-
posed to promote. She does not
think use of a breathalyzer
should be ruled out in the
future, although it won't be
implemented this prom season.
it is something that would
ensure zero tolerance and a safe
environment," MacCarthy said.
"As a parent, I would find it
helpful to have that worry off
my shoulders. Prom night for
parents can be an unnerving
time."
MacCarthy says if a breatha-
lyzer is used, it should be
administered to each student
that way there is no judgment
call. "If a student hasn't been
drinking then they would have
nothing to worry about."
Police Chief James Hussey
said the police think a breatha-
lyzer can be a good deterrent at
School activities, but it has to be
administered by someone other
than police officers.
"Breathalyzers at school
functions are not administered
to enforce criminal law. but to

ensure safety at a school activi-
ty," Hussey explained. "Using
police officers in that role can
send the wrong message. It's
not a criminal action."
Hussey said officers would be
there to help contact the parents
of a child, who is found to be
under the influence of alcohol,
and would even escort the stu-
dent home to parents if neces-
sary.
He explained the police union
brought to his attention how
breathalyzers are handled in
other (owns . "They were more
appropriately administered by
school administrators or those
sponsoring the event," he said.
Hussey said the student
breathalyzer has a pass/fail and
does not take a blood alcohol
measurement like the one
administered to people suspect-
ed of drunk driving. He would
support the use of a breathalyz-
er at school-related events.
"I think anyone who heard
about the problem in Belmont
last week when several kids
were rushed to the hospital with
alcohol poisoning at a school
dance would think having a
breathalyzer could be a good
thing," he said.
Hingham High Principal
Paula Girouard McCann said
Hingham has a student breatha-
lyzer, which has been used on
occasion.
"All students who buy tickets
to a dance must sign a form
which includes this statement:
'Students and parents should be
aware that breathalyzer tests
may be given at all dances.
Students who refuse to take a
breathalyzer test will be
removed from the dance and
released to a parent. The school
will impose appropriate disci-
plinary action,'" Girouard
McCann said.

Sharing memories of 25 years in Costa Rica
Author grew
up in Cohasset
By Matt Whorf
CORRESPONDENT
I Roberta Hayes left the New
; England coastal shores of
; Cohasset in 1970 and headed for
a land of '"La Rotunda. La Virgen
de los Angeles and Rats. Bats,
Cucas and Ghosts." That seem-
ingly mystical, storybook land
said Hayes from her current
Costa Rican home in Escazu. a
rural village southwest of the
urban metro area of San Jose.
Hayes, 66. whose name
appears on the book as Roberta
Hayes de Macaya, was bom in
Boston and grew up in Cohasset
in the 40s and 50s. She spent
some of her grade school years at
Cohassel's Ripley Road School,
then later attended Hingham's
Derby Academy before moving
on to Milton Academy for high

Macaya graduated with her from
Milton Academy in 1956, then
later earned a B.S. from Mi l
four years later. The couple were
married in 1963.
"Such is Life in the Tropics"
actually began as an autobio-
graphical feature that Hayes
wrote for a Milton Academy
publication for her 40th high
school reunion in 1996. No late-
comer to the writing Held, the
author has a strong literary back-
ground, having been an editor for
the Derby Academy newspaper,
Derby News, as far back as grade
school, and published in Queen
of All Hearts, a New York Stale
maga/ine devoted to stories
about the Blessed Virgin Man.
among other publications.
"Can't remember if the others

mused.

wrote for a Milton

40th high school
reunion in 1996.
What brought Hayes to this
new tropical home was her then
half-dozen-year-old marriage to
Ernesto Macaya a Costa Rican
native who was also a classmate
of Hayes' at Milton Academy in
Massachusetts in the mid 1950s,
and by the 70s a board of direc-
tors member for the national oil
refinery back home.
La Rotunda. La Virgen de los
Angeles and Rats. Bats. Cucas
and Ghosts are just a few of the
many intriguing, enchanting
icons of Tieo (Costa Rican) cul-
ture that Hayes has discovered in
25 years of off-and-on. multiple
location residency in Costa Rica.
They are also the titles of three
chapters, or anecdotes, from
Hayes' recently published book.
"Such is Life in the Tropics —
25 Years in Costa Rica." a collec-
tion of 40 anecdotes offering the
author's prized memoirs of her
life in Costa Rica — the disco\ -
eries, challenges, adaptations anil
spiritual growth of more than
two decades experience.
"Since Costa Rica is now so
popukir as a tourist resort 1 want-
ed people to also know about the
nature, sincere people, and spiri-
tual dimension, angels and
witchcraft, in this third world."
Casta Rican journey lakes ihe
reader llirough a series of family
residences, from the seaport
town ot Puntarenas, then on to
San Jose, beachside gatherings
on the Pacific coast reSOfl ol
Cuajiniquil. and an eventual per-
maneni abode in Escazu.
Understandably Hayes' recollec-
tions' sometimes revel in the trop-
ical splendor of Costa Rica,
describing palm-laden beaches,
lush back-country roads, tranquil
seaside hikes and lavish celebra-
tions of leasts and dancing with
keen, eye-for-detail observation.
La Rotunda is what Hayes
describes as the heart of Ihe
Barrio Jimenez neighborhood
where the family lived in San
Jose, a brick column and grass
island quadrangle in the slreel
that was "the rendezvous place
lor planning most activities for
all ages in our barrio." La Virgen
de los Angeles is ihe statue of a
black virgin atop the basilica in
Cartago. the patroness and center
ol all Costa Rican culture which
"every Costa Rican considers a
personal protectress < >l his coun-
try and way ol hie."
Haves does not paint every-
thing with a nise-colored view.
She describes the poverty, prosti-
tution and permeable disease ol
inner-village Puntarenas.
Another anecdote recalls a New
Year's Eve beach parly in 19X4.
when the Sandinista-Contra war
in neighboring Nicaragua some-
times spilled over into Costa
Rica, and a camouflaged,
machine-gun armed contra sol-
dier wandering into the party's
view What lollows is a tense
moment alleviated by an extend-
ed welcoming hand.
But lor the most part. Hayes'
memoirs reveal her spiritual
nattpe, and offer spinuial uplift
to the reader.
Said Hayes. 'The most valued

perhaps readers nl ihe book will

Asphalt sidewalks seen as
cost saver in village project
BUNNY VISIT
FROM VILLAGE. PAGE 1
ranging Iron) brick to concrete
(poured or pavers) lo asphalt
has been the subject of consid-
erable debate in recent years.
Everyone seems to want some-
thing attractive and sate, but
now achieving economies may
be the driver behind what mate-
rial is finally used.
Dormit/er said there is rough-
ly SI. 35 million in grants
remaining lor the project which
includes about 5>l.2 million of
the SI. 5 million PWED grant
and the 5165,900 transportation
grant for the ""St. Stephen"s
sidewalk" at the fool of the
ledge outcropping at the top of
South Main Street. The town
has sx-nl upwards of $300,000
in design fees. Il hired
Waiertleld Design Group for
the project and the company has
submitted several "redesigns"
ranging from bump-outs at cor-
ners and crosswalks lo no
bumpouts. depending on direc-
tion from selectmen.
The "village" project spans
from attorney Richard
Henderson's office on South
Main Street, to the South Shore
Community Center, down
Depot Court to Pleasant Street:
and also includes Brook Street,
and Elm Street from Brook lo
S. Main street-
Last winter « hen the town put
the project out to bid. only one
company responded. Northern
Construction Services, whose
bid came in about SS4.IXX) too
high. Although 14 companies
took out bid packages, only
Northern actually provided an
offer.
The dearth of interested bid-
ders and the price prompted
selectmen to revisit the issue.
"The right thing to do is get
this job done." Dormit/er said
Tuesday.
For the project to be complet-
ed using the remaining funds.
Dormit/er - with the blessing
of the Downtown
Revitali/ation Review
Committee - suggested making
the sidewalk material asphalt.
Other cosl savers include:
• Making the Elm Street
improvements and the Red
Lion Inn stonewall alternates,
meaning they would only be
done if funds allow;
• Instead of crosswalks w ith
speed humps and pavers; use
pressed concrete and eliminate
the traffic bump;
• Eliminate the bump-out on
S. Main Slreet opposite the
town pump;
• Eliminate the bollards (thick
posts ) at the town pump and
pockel park at corner of S. Main
and Depot Court:
• Do not modify the pump site
in front of Cohassel Hardware
except on the Elm Slreet side to
provide a handicap ramp; short-
en the crosswalk so it intercepts
Elm Street where the old fence
and granite end:
• Use brick for the small
pocket parks to be created at the
intersection of Elm and S. Main
siiveis and at Depot Court
• Coordinate work at Depot
Court and Pleasant Streel with
the MBTA so that there is no
gap between the parking lot and
intersection.
DormitZer said $70,000 could
he saved by switching from
concrete to asphalt for the side-
walks and S42.IKX) by not
improving Elm Street, except
for installing a sidewalk on the
Fleming's side of the street.
He asked his fellow board
members to vote these changes
and authorize Town Manager
Bill Griffin to re-bid the project
and then have a public hearing
on the issue.
But Selectman Ronnie
McMorris took umbrage with
the new scope of ihe plans
because she said they go against
the wishes of the town.
McMorris said considerable
time was spent developing and
redoing the plans, and going
over each aspect in excruciating
detail. She described
Dormit/er's proposal as wiping
out pedestrian safety improve-
ments which are critical.
"The sidewalks, speed bumps,
pocket parks, modifying the
pump site are all being thrown
out." she said. "One person's
v ision is being presented to us."
George McGoldrick of the
Village devitalization Review
Committee said the committee
looked at the budget and made
some cuts, he disputed that
changes would compromise
public safety.
But McMorris said communi-
ty wide input on the issue needs
to be sought before she could
agree to significant changes in
village improvement plans.
"The downtown belongs to
the community." she said.
Agnes McCann, who was in
the audience, agreed with
McMorris. She said using
asphalt for sidewalks does not
save money in the long run
because it doesn't last. She said
Ihe wishes of November 21X13
special Town Meeting thai
opted for concrete sidewalks
needed to be adhered to.
But Dormitzer pointed out the
Town Meeting vole was nol
binding because voters
approved a "concept."
McMorris asked that whatev-
er changes selectmen voted on
be brought to a special Town
Meeting, but her motion failed
lor lack of a second.
Instead ihe board opted lo
hold a public hearing on the v il-
lage changes and "see where
they go from there." Chairman
Michael Sullivan said. The vote
was 4-1 with McMorris
opposed,

train from Cohasset station to
Derby every day.
When the snow started to fall.
Pace said Gleason could always
be found skiing. Even in the
1930s, before Ml. Washington
had a ski lift. Gleason could
always be found on the slopes.
During his high school years.
Gleason attended boarding
school at the Kent School in
Connecticut. Although he WW
many miles away, distance
couldn't quell the love he felt
for his high school sweetheart
Betty Stearns, who grew up on
Jerusalem Road.
After graduating from high
school. Gleason went on to
study at Harvard College,
where he participated in the
Naval Reserve Officer Training
Corps INROTC) program.
Gleason enjoyed his naval
training trcmendousls and sped
up his courses to enable him to
graduate early and enter the
Navy. However, alter gradua-
tion, he made his love for
Stearns official, when they
were married in October 194.'.
While at Harvard. Gleason
had an experience thai would
forever change his life, when a
Naval Submarine Corps
recruiter spoke to the cadets,
sparking his interest in under-
water submersion. After enlist-
ing. Gleason was. assigned to
the USS Submarine "Trigger"
in November 1944.
Gleason began his career
aboard the submarine as the
Officer Captain of the gun
crew. He then received a pro-
motion and became the
Communications and
Commissary Officer in
February 1945. However, on
its second to last mission, while
on patrol near the Ryukyu
Archipelago in the South
Pacific. Trigger was presumed
lost after a lengthy lapse in
communication. Gleason and
XX fellow crewmates paid the
ultimate price in the name of
freedom March 27. 1945.
Gleason was just 22 years old.
Eleanor remembers it was
well into the spring before the
Navy notified the family
Gleason and his submarine
were missing. Her two other
brothers and her husband. John
Bleakie, were also away at war.
and she had mined back home
to Atlantic Avenue to be with
her parents.
Eleanor said she remembers
sitting in the gardens with her
mother one aftemcxin when a
telegram arrived with the news
of Howard. Fearful it would
aid the "Japanese propaganda
machine", the family was for-
bidden from telling anyone the
submarine was lost.
On Memorial Day I94X. the
town of Cohasset dedicated the
extension of Margin Street to
Gleason, calling it Howard
Gleason Road. He was the last
Cohasset man to die during
World War II. Shortly after the
war ended. Norman Todd died
from the effects of radiation
exposure from the atomic bomb
that was dropped on Nagasaki.
His was among the first Marine
units to enter the city.
Clini mum of the Veterans
Menu/rial Committee Glenn
Pratt provided the Mariner
with the Information for this
arlkle. I'm- more information

the Cohasset veterans w ho have
paid the ultimate priee in the
name of freedom, please visit

Thinking outside
the box
Cohassel has the opportunity to file for special legislation,
dubbed a Home Rule Petition, thai would give the town control
u\er its sewer system.
As ii stands now. ihe town is subject to state development
laws that prohibit "spot sewering."
In other words, as Town C ounsel Paul IX'Rensis says. Ihe
town can"! help Mrs. McGilliaiddy without also hooking up
everyone else in the neighborhood.
However, the state recognizes towns are facing considerable
development pressures and has allowed municipalities lo enact
their own bj laws through Special legislation giving them more
control.
The Cook Estate Working Group grappled with this possibili-
ty at its meeting Tuesday. The Committee, essentiall) a brain-
storming group, is charged with looking at ways to keep the
Cook senior house project on track ev en if some aspects of the
proposal have lo be modified.
We don't claim to lull) understand the complexities of state
law and special legislation. Hut we fell during Tuesday's work-
ing group meeting that an opportunity presented itself that has
not fully been explored yet holds considerable promise for the
town..
For decades Cohassel was able lo control development
through ils lack ol an adequate municipal sewer System. Tow n
acreage was off limits lo development because w ith the towns
rocky ledge - there was not a ton of good soil out there that
could accommodate on-site septic systems.
But Cohassel's world has changed. The town must solve ils
existing wastewater problems including finding solutions tor
neighborhoods with failing septic systems. Hence the growth of
the sewer system in the mid-1990s with expansion of the
Central Sewer District and addition of a North Cohassel Sewer
District
There are still other areas that need sewering, most notable are
the Little Harbor-Atlantic Avenue neighborhoods. That sewer
project and others - and how lo pay for them - are the subject
of a public meeting '>n Saturday at 10 a.m. in iheTown Hall
auditorium. The public meeting w ill provide a primer on Town
Meeting warrant articles that will set the stage for several sewer
projects.
We think the potential of special legislation is significant, not
because it would change tow n plans to sewer existing homes,
but because it could allow the tow n lo use any excess capacity
as ii sees lil for projects like the Cook Estate without the threat
01 lawsuits.
Although the Home Rule Petition isn't the focus of Saturday 's
session, it will undoubtedly come up. The town may have to
call a special Town Meeting lo start the ball rolling for special
legislation because there is not lime to get it on the April 2 war-
rant.
But in any case we urge you to attend Saturday's meeting lo
better understand how the town plans to proceed sewer-wise.
The ultimate decision on several articles w ill be up to the April
2 Town Meeting, where we hope you can cast an informed
vote.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
To ntE Editor:
To those who say an override is not necessary.
I would invite you lo visit any one of the
Cohasset sehools. Did you know ihat some
class sizes at the Deer Hill and the Middle
School are well over 15 and pushing 30? Did
you know that the Community Service class at
the High School currently has 4 1 students '.'That
some Physieal Education classes at the High
School arc elose to 50 students 7 50 students! !
I receive notices from my children's teachers
every year, begging for tissues, paper towels
and cleaning supplies lor the classrooms. The
kindergarten ( with very large classes this year as
well) has losl 50percent of its weekly Physical
Education time and 1(X) percent of its Computer
classes. I am no financial w izard, but clearly this
is not a budget lull of Hurl'.
Some have made mention of targeting the
teachers' salaries and/or benefit packages for
cuts. Did y ou know that many teachers' fami-
lies arc eligible for affordable housing? It's true,
even for veteran teachers. Did you know thai
Ihe denial insurance premiums are out of reach,
there is no vision benefit and that health premi-
ums take over 16 percent of every other pay-
check? It's true, even for veteran teachers.
Imagine how that percentage soars for newer
teachers. Teachers can never hope to make what
similarly educated professionals in other fields
make at an entry level. Shadow any public
school teacher (especially those who have these
enormous classes) and you will find deter-
mined, dedicated, passionate professionals who
work many hours and days above what they are
actually paid for. Obviously, the teacher com-
pensation package is not a legitimate target for
cuts.
When you consider skyrocketing special edu-
cation costs, an increasing burden of federal
unfunded mandates and the consistently
decreasing stale aid. it's a miracle that the
requested override is not significantly bigger.
The School Committee has done ils job; the
requested budget is as bare-bones as it can get.
No one wants higher taxes. And while many are
feeling the strain of the current local and global
financial situations, no one should want to bal-
ance the budget at the expense of the people
who can least afford to shoulder the town's bur-
den: our children and our teachers. I urge you to
vote yes for the override.

To rut. Editor:
Since the overwhelming vote at
December's Town Meeting to start cooper-
ating with the Attorney General and DEP to
avoid imminent lines and sanctions and
commit, after 25 years of procrastination, to
sewer the Utile Harbor/Atlantic Avenue
areas to end Ihe fecal coliform pollution of
those neighborhoods and coastal waters,
tremendous effort has been made by the
sewer commissioners and their professional
engineers to respect and implement the will
of the voters and the State's Court mandates.
Detailed engineering has been completed,
allowing quite accurate cost estimates to be
finished and the sewer commission has
done a superb, professional job in preparing
the Warrant Articles for voters at the April 2
Town Meeting. These Articles allow the
voters to determine the funding method
although, under the options, the new recipi-
ents of the sewer expansion will, via
assessed "betterments", absorb the majority
of the costs which, per usual, are spread
over 20 years lo minimi/.e the payments.
These betterments will not commence until
the 2009-2010 period as sewers become
operational. The eventual increased value of
the homes, due to being sewer connected
and with the pollution ended, will more than
offset the betterments charges. Residences
with new. Title 5 compliant septic systems
may be able to "opt out" of connection if
they so judge.
With the experienced assistance of new
Town Manager Bill Griffin, given ihe
expansion operational target date of mid-
2009, which has been approved by the
Staie/DEP, the financial cost to the general
taxpayer, if any, will be quite minor for the
next several years and, again, if any, very
modest thereafter. This is a voter decision.
A majority of the selectmen are on the
verge of approving the articles, as presented
by the sewer commissioners, with hearings
now in progress. This "milestone", positive
turning point for our Town should take
place ai next Tuesday's Selectmen's
Meeting, March 28, starting at 7 p.m..
Residents are encouraged to attend the
meeting at Town Hall, if al all possible, or
watch the proceedings on Cable TV-
Channel 10. Your attendance is encouraged
to help "guide" the resolution of any last
minute glitches.
A round of applause will be merited for all
these Town Officials once the Selectmen
endorse these articles for presentation to ihe
voters at ihe April 2nd Town Meeting.

Prestation that realy matters
To the Editor:
Preserving a scrap of industrial junk like
the railroad turntable may be an excess of
reverence for things past, but on the other
hand the resurgence of interest in preserving
what is of historic significance is a good
thing.
But even more important is preserving the
record of those people who have improved
the quality of life in Cohasset over the years.
Maybe we should have a sort of a Trajan's
column on the common, or a massive illu-
minated book of golden deeds in the library,
to commemorate those whose vision and
drive have resulted in the many institutions
that make this town a better place.
Those w ho earned our enduring thanks for
establishing our Community Center. Arts
Center. Sailing Club. Center lor Coastal
Studies. Historical Society, Youth organiza-
tions and do/ens of others, should be
remembered.
For example. Joe McElroy, whose vision
and drive rescued the decrepit and soon-to-
he-demolished lightkeeper's house and con-
verted it into the popular Bancroft Hall. Not
only did he do almosi all Ihe fundraising.
but he coalesced and directed a diverse
group of fellow good citizens who designed,
deconstructed and reconstructed the facility,
and established its modus operandi.
That's a fairly recent example, but there
are many others. Regrettably, those whose
public service occurred some time ago are
forgotten, and should not be. The fact that
only the few examples listed above came
easily to mind illustrates the need to be
reminded of those to whom we are indebt-
ed.

HEALTH NOTES
Fair wastewater solutions for all
Steve Bobo
10 THE MARINER
Two weeks ago. Health Board member Rob
Lawrence and I went before selectmen to
explain our plans for revising the
Comprehensive Wastewater Management
Plan. Selectmen stmngly recommended that
the article containing a request for ;ui appro-
priation for the plan be withdrawn from Ihis
year's Town Meeting Warrant
Alter listening to their various comments, u
became apparent thai there was insufficient
information about how many septic system
owners would choose lo join the plan and
what the condition of their systems might be.
As a result, there would be no way to calculate
the Town's potential indebtedness for repair
costs. When they put it Ihat way, one has to
agree. After all what competeni organization
signs up to purchase something before they
know how much it costs?
There are those who claim thai sewers
should he supplied to ev erybody as a matter of
right. This argument Hies in the face of reason.
If population density is insufficient, sewers are
more costly than septic systems and given the
fact ihat sewers are not as good environmen-
tally as properly managed on-site treatment,
they offer no benefit to large areas of Cohasset.
This observation is particularly true when
infiltration and inflow is considered in Hood
plain areas.

Myths and facts about the school budget
COMMENTARY
Rick Siua
1 would like lo dispel some myths regarding the
finances of the Cohasset Schools.
• Myth # I : The municipal side of the budget "is
going backwards", but the schools "are adding posi-
tions and programs" for FY 06.
The tacts: Total salaries for the municipal side of
the proposed FY '06 budget are increasing
SI 95.0X0. or 3.53 percent. Total salaries for the
schools are increasing by S69.8XI or 0.76 percent.
The municipal budget is very tight with a net
decrease of two positions, but the schools have been
budgeted just as lightly, with a net decrease of five
positions.
We are proposing to add an equivalent Of nine
positions, but we have cut 14 positions and have
ilKIKiSed Ices We arc adding five classroom teach-
ers lo maintain class sizes tlwo were lunded bv the
community this year). We arc reallocating more sup-
port to the Middle School (now almost 400 stu-
dents). We have had to add bus driven, The cost of
these additions has been more than offset by elimi-
nating 14 support positions and by increasing lees.
The onl) "program" that is being "added" is an
optional lull-day kindergarten program, whose
tuitions will pro\ ide a net contribution to the budget.
• Myth # 2: The schools' finances are "in disar-
ray".
The facts: Three areas have driven up the schools'
costs over the past tour years. ( I ) out of district spe-
cial education (SPED) tuitions, (2) facilities costs,
particularly utility rates which have more than dou-
bled, and (3) transportation costs, due to contracted
SPED transportation, increased enrollment (six
buses vs. four buses) and fuel costs. Excluding these
three items, costs per student are flat from FY 05 to
FY 06 ($6,428 to $6,433) and. over the past four
years, these costs per student have increased less
than 2 percent, or an average of less than one half
percent per year ($6.3 1 0 in FY 2002 to $6,433 in FY
2(X)6). Controllable costs have been tightly con-
trolled by this school committee.
Controllable costs have been
tightly controlled by this
• Myth # 3: There has been "inadequate explana-
tion" for the projected increase of $518,000 in
SPED tuitions for FY 06,
The facts: The budget analysis prepared by
Superintendent Walsh, which has been available at
every school committee meeting since December
2( KM. contains a detailed schedule of projected
SPED tuition costs by student by school for FY 06
lor each of the projected 28 students with out of dis-
trict placements.
• My th # 4: The increased cost of the schools over
the past 20 years is due to teacher salaries going
from "lower mid to upper" when compared with
other South Shore towns.
The facts: Based on figures available on the slate
Departmeni of Education's web sile, when compar-
ing the average cost per teacher for Cohasset with 1 4
other South Shore school districts. Cohasset was
ninth in FY 1998 and 12th in FY 2003.
• Myth # 5: The additional funds being requested
by the schools for FY 05 are for "separation costs"
and "unbudgeted tuition reimbursements".
The facts: The additional funds are being request-
ed to primarily cover out of district tuitions and util-
ities. The superintendent noted early in the fiscal
year that the FY 05 budget could be underf unded by
as much as (500,000, excluding SPED tuitions. We
took aggressive action to cut nine support positions,
to not fill open positions and to increase user tees. In
her report to the school committee on March 1 7 c iut-
lining the current FY0S projection, the superinten-
dent reported that SPED tuitions may require an
additional SI 10.000 and utility costs, due to contin-
ued rate increases, may require an additional
$80,000. This is ihe basis for the FY05 request Dr.
Walsh projected that, in aggregate. FY05 salaries
should be Within budget. On the municipal side, the
Town Manager has requested S26I.OOO lo cover
FY05 shortfalls in sc\eral departments including
police and lire overtime and legal expenses

schools' linances. or if you would like to receive a

Some thoughts on Cook Estate
COMMENTARY
Karen Oi k i i i
Last Week's Mariner was full of information and
opinion on the Cook Estate development project,
Having attended virtually all (public) meetings held
on the subject, here are some thoughts:
• This project "as last tracked and brought to
Town Meeting vole before due diligence was prop-
erly done. Now. laced with the consequences of
leaping before looking, souk- at Town Hall insist on
pursuing this pmjecl as originally constituted reject-
ing out of hand any alternatives thai may save the
pit iject. Why? Have they invested too much of their
political capital, or lixi much of our economic capi-
tal'.'
• The overwhelming yea vole al Town Meeting
was based on three factors: - it would no! cost the
town anything; - it would result in a net profit of
$925,000; - il would not impact the sewer capacity
Not one of these terms has been met.
• Documented associated costs are nearing
$250,000, With legal lees unaccounted for. and no
information available from Town Hall as lo other
accrued costs, this figure could easily be $3(X).00O.
These expenses significantly lower our profit.
Does the town need the money.' Absolutely! But
this is 00 gilt. This figure represents the sale price of
a parcel ol town-owned property appraised at
SI.OMMHX) when bundled with the Cook Estate.
$1,010,000 reduced to $625,000, Thai's what hap-
pens when politicians gel in the land development
. business.
• The true value of this land is not monetary. It acts
as a buffer /.one lo protect Peppermint Brook from
pollution. Since we voted at Town Meeting to
authorize the Water Department to invest millions of
dollars purchasing land to protect our drinking
water, why are we selling this land we already own.
that is already protecting our drinking water? Makes
no sense to me. Especially at a bargain basement
price.
This project was fast-tracked
and brought to Town Meeting
• As lor the projected $425,000 annual tax rev-
enue. whatOs the impact on town services?
Specifically our already strained school system. If
50 Cohasset seniors move to Cook. 50 young cou-
ples will buy their homes. (This would happen any-
way through attrition but not within a compressed
tune frame.) 50 young couples with just one child
times ihe S8.600 per child it currently lakes to edu-
cate a child in Cohasset equals $430,000. Even tak-
ing inio account the tax revenue generated by the
single family homes, it's still a virtual wash. And.
what if these young families have two or more chil-
dren'.' What if all 95 units are bought by Cohasset
residents.'
• In June 2004. Jack Dawley stated that Northland
would not reduce the number of units and use an
onsite septic sy stem because their engineers deier-
mined the soils would fail in a very short period of
time. Northland would not leave the unit owners in
such an untenable situation. Now. in direct contra-
diction. Northland is proposing an onsite system for
a reduced number of units is v uihle Both these sce-
narios cannot he true. Which are we to believe ' And
if Ihe former is correct, when the latter tails what
then? Town sewer. lhatOs what
• The other half of this proposal involves hooking
the affordable units up to town sewer. Our Sewer
Commission maintains there isn't available capaci-
ty, and has refused access to other developers. Town
Counsel has advised us thai any amount Df effluent
from Cook opens up a pandora's box in regard to the
denied developers. The domino effect will lake
affect and these other developments will be sew>
ered. No impact on sewer'.'
• If Ihe wastewater from these developments is
sent to Hull, il puis (he Sewer Commission in a posi-
tion of having to make premature decisions about
wastewater solutions. For example, what are the
unintended consequences of having a large number
of Cohassel homes dependent on Hull sewer'1
Haven't we already proved haste makes waste?
• We are told our seniors are being forced to leave
Cohasset because there is no affordable senior hous-
ing. Let's be honest. The reason our seniors, and
people of all ages and of fixed or moderate income,
are being forced to sell Iheir homes is because of ris-
ing tax rates and a never-ending series of Prop. 2-1/2
overrides.
Is affordable (emphasis on affordable) senior
housing important. Without a doubt. Bui what we
really need is for Town Hall to get the spending
under control, stop the tax increases, and practice
fiscal responsibility. Then we can all stay in
Cohasset.

. Sing me no more sad songs about winter. I don't
care what it looks like outside. Hope springs eternal
simply because we are Red Sox fans and opening
day is righl around the comer.
Belter yet: As you read this, the owners of ihe Red
Sox are busy making plans to keep Fenway Park
right where it belongs. The minors have swirled for
years that the oldest and smallest ballpark in the
major leagues was headed for Ihe wrecking ball:
thankfully we have in John Henry & Co. an owner-
ship group just quirky enough to keep ihe park as is.
ignoring the warnings of impending financial ruin
uttered by the corporate bean counters. Thankfully
Ihcv understand as well as any fan of baseball that
you can't put a price on hislory.
So in ihe spirit of all things spring, I hope you
understand what I mean when I say thai I lovt
Fenway Park: every glorious inch of it. every scar
on ils aging hide, every crooked nook and impossi-
bly angled cranny of Ihe most intimate and won-
drous park in baseball hislory.
And I loVe il most of all because taking a seal in
Fenway today is. and always will be. like taking a
seat there for the very first lime.
My father introduced me to what John Updike
called "The Lyrical Little Bandbox of a Ballpark."
taking me lo ballgames with the sole intention of
schooling his eldest child in the fine art of the long
ball, and the reflex mechanics of ihe double play;
taking every opportunity between plays to point out
Ihe fielding intellect of Ihe flinty and vaunted Ya/. a
man who used to maximum advantage each and
every geometric impossibility imposed on every
square inch of the kingdom he called Left Field.
And together we would marvel at the pinpoint pre-
cision of Tony Conigliaro. a man whom I instinc-
tively understood had been given a gift from God
that allowed him to routinely rock physics back on
its heels game after thrilling game.
I remember silting with my dad. eating warm hags

bought pennants to wave and hats to wear together,
and we were always sure after every game we
attended, thai we had just gotten to share the best

As I got older there were ihe home games attend-

a Red Sox fanatic as I. We would always take what-
ever seals the old man in the ticket booth offered in
the final minutes before game time, sometimes
sneaking down 10 or 20 rows to escape the long
shadows thrown over parts of the park in the after-
mx>n; but mostly happily staking out a prime spot in
the bleachers, righl behind the bullpen, slathering on
the oil lo better develop those now-forbidden sun-
tans.
Thai was the golden age of The Rooster and
Freddy Lynn and Pudge and Looo-ieee— and. my
goodness, what fun ft was to watch them play.
He and I would lake turns seeing who could
scream the loudest, clap the hardest, and stomp ihe
wooden benches for ihe noisiest effect. But as hard

day that ever was.
Then there are the grown-up memories of taking
my little brother to the park on Sunny Saturday
afternoons, leading him by the hand out of the
damp and smelly tunnels winding through
Fenway's underbelly, and up into the light of the
stunning green thai was the field. Righl there, close-
enough to touch: Turf like tufted Turkish carpet
woven from one continuous, dazzling strand of
emerald colored yarn, all lush and — how do they
keep it so green.' — explaining to my wide-eyed
sib that Joe Mooney took his work very seriously ,
so much so that he. and anyone whti ever sal in the
stands could point to il w iih the certainty thai this
was not mere groundskeeping: This was art.
The air was redolent w ith the exclamatory flour-
ishes of John Kiley's organ, the park packed to the
tippy-top with the sounds of cheers, of leather hit-
ting leather, the smack of ball connecting with bat;
and the smell of Fenway Franks sinuously inter-
twining with the aroma of mustard-covered pret-
zels and drippy ice cream sandwiches.
At the time I remember thinking thai there was
no place on earth thai I would rather be than at
Fenway Park with my kid brother watching base-
ball on a sunny summer afternoon, sharing the best
day there ever was. 1 try not to mind that my vis-
its have been less frequent as of late, try hard not
to believe lhai the last time I visited the park was
with my (now ) true love; and thai my 10-year-old
daughter came along for the game hitching a ride
in my tummy.
She is old enough now for her introduction to the
sport of baseball and for lessons in the myth and
mechanics that make up the game as played in
Fenway Park.
We'll ignore the Jumbotron. the sour stench
under the stands, the corporate ads. the luxury
boxes and the fact that the seats that once comfort-
ably accommodated my 20-year-old fanny seem to
have shrunk more than a little hit
We w ill sit together in ihe stands, heads together,
splitting one of those syrupy -sweet grandstand
Cokes and I will impart the lessons I have learned
and the love I have developed for the game, all fil-
tered and diffused through the prism of rtmeless-
ness that is Fenway Park.
Because more than anything. I want her to know
what it is like to spend the best day that ever was.

There used to be a bar on Hancock Street
in North Quincy called the Rathskellar.
The Red Sox used to have a third baseman
named Jim Tabor.
They came together frequently, the gin
mill and Ihe ball player, so frequently, in
tact, thai whenever Sox Manager Joe Cronin
needed his third baseman, the first place
he'il look was the Rathskellar, Or so the
story goes.
Once, the Red Sox are said to have hired a
couple of private detectives to trail him and
keep him out ol trouble but w ily old Jim
maneuvered them into the men's room and
locked the door and went about his business,
which involved another bar.
Alcohol and not the steniids was the drug

Mil interviewer once asncu
him how he could hit so well
if he was half in the bag
each time he went
to the plate.
Back in the days when the A s were in
Philadelphia, they had a pitcher named, lor
good reason. "Rube" Waddell. who liked a
taste now and then ( mostly now i. His man-
ager. Connie Mack, decided lo teach him a
lesson.
He got a glass ol water and a glass of
whiskey and two worms. He dropped one of
the worms in the water. The worm thrived.
The dropped the other worm into the
whiskey. The worm curled up and died
"What do yotl think of that .'" he asked.
"Well." said Rube, "it's nice to know if I
keep in drinking I'll never have worms."
And they all laughed.
One of the great outfielders of the 1920s
and 30s w as Paul Waner of the Pittsburgh
Pirates, who made little effort to keep his
taste for the sauce a secret.
His teammate. Dick Bartell. related in his
biography how Paul used to keep a pint of
whiskey in an ice chest in the dugout and
take a swig on it each time before he went to
bat.
An interviewer once asked him how he
could hit so well if he was half in the bag
each time he went to the plate.
"I ll tell you." he said. "I see three base-
balls. I pick out the one in the middle and hit
it as hard as I can."
And they all laughed.
Rabbit Maranville was a shortstop for the
Boston Braves when he partied on Scotch
w ith a champagne chaser only to face a 10-
inning game the next day with the mother of
all hangovers. The score was tied in the 10th
when he came to bat.
'"I saw the pitcher wind up and I started to
swing at his motion when ball and bat met
and it sailed over the left field fence." he
recalled. A teammate had to remind him to
run. "I never did see the ball I hit."
And they all laughed.
Another early day pitcher named Bugs
Ray mond featured in his repertoire a spitball
that danced and did other amazing tricks on
the w ay to the plate.
"He didn't have to spit on the ball." they
said. "He just breathed on it and the ball
came up to the plate drunk."
They really laughed at that one.
I guess they didn't have time to call for a
congressional investigation of that drug use
in baseball. They were too busy laughing.

Historicallv. increasing popuki-
tion density comes with a cost.
The greater the number of people
living close together, the more
complex anil expensive it
becomes to provide services for
them - and the more sophisticat-
ed become the systems lor pro-
viding those services
There are those
who claim that
sewers should be
supplied to
everybody as a
matter of right.
This argument flies
in the face of
reason.
Sewers are clearlv superior
when population density is high
and the use of on-site systems is .i
threat to a water Supply.
Sometimes, when septic •>> stems
are near ponds there ma) be a
flow of nutrients into those ponds
from the groundwater. When
ponds such as Lil\ Fond are used
for drinking water, prudence md
State regulations, mandate intro-
duction of disinfection additives
which may react w ith the other-
wise perfectly harmless nutrients
added to the water by nature as
well as septic systems. It's at this
point that large scale wastewater
treatment may be necessary .
Large wastewater treatment
plants can clean water to near
perfect quality; perhaps 10 times
as pure as needed to meet drink-
ing-water standards. It doesn't
taste very good, because small
quantities of added elements such
as oxygen, sodium and others
enhance the taste of pure water.
But such systems are extreme))
costly to build and operate.
Generally, well managed towns
opt for on-site systems because of
the lower cost, and when popula-
tion density reaches some trigger
figure, sewer s\ stems are consid-
ered, and their location is based
factors of cost and need, well
tempered by geology.
Such are the issues now facing
the Town. However, there is one
cause lor optimism. Selectman
Rob Spolford has offered to
work w ith the board of health to
seek a solution for the inequity of
having the Town's septic sj stem
owners pay two separate waste
water costs: those for upgrading
and maintaining their own sys-
tem, and also that portion of the
low it's taxes which goes to sup-
port the cost of sewer expansion,
Hie question of equitable treat
menl for all of the Town's citi-
zens has long been a goal of the
hoard of health State income tax
relief has long been available lor
septic upgrades for individual
homes. We will now seek other
means for proving relief .
The hoard plans to meet with
Rob Spolford and others near
the problem to develop a system
which is fair and represents the
lowest cost and best technical
solution to (he wastewater
dilemma for Cohasset. We will
ask the sewer department to
include in the forthcoming Feasi-
bility study proposed for this
year's Warrant, provisions for
assessing the use of on-site sys-
tems where sewers are uneco-
nomical. Further we will work
with the water department in an
effort to better define the real
threats from nutrients and
eutrophicalion in the water sup-
ply, and hopefully establish a
plan for upgrading homes in
Beech wood and other sections
of Tow n w ith septic problems.
One way you can help with
this process is to vote at the
Town meeting to eliminate the
subsidy given to sewer owners
by paying for half their better-
ments The Tow n can no longer
afford such luxuries, and —
since septic owners have no
such subsidy, the system is. al
it's heart, unfair.

School committee candidate
Lee Jenkins stated classroom
positions should be the "absolute
last option" in making budget
cuts, not the first. She expressed
these sentiments during a ques-
tion and answer session follow-
ing a campaign reception attend-
ed by 50 plus people held at the
Cohasset Library.
"With just the summary bud-
get data that has been provided.
I've identified several areas
which can be trimmed or correct-
ed." Jenkins said. "Those areas
are: cell phone fees, lunch
deficits, bus maintenance and
health care costs. There could he
as much as SI50K in savings in
these areas which could be
recovered for classroom use.
"It is important to have a fiscal-
ly responsible board that is keep-
ing its eyes on the bottom line at
all times so that money is not
needlessly diverted from the edu-
cational budget."

QUESTION OF THE WEEK • SELECTMEN
March 25, 2005 COHASSET MAWNP Page 1 3
For the selectman
candidates: For years Cohassei
had a private attorney as Town
Counsel and not a large firm
, Has the switch saved money and
„ provided needed special legal
expertise'' Or is it time to revisit
, the issue ?
SELECTMAN/Fred Koed
" I first saw how demanding the
position of Town Counsel is
while serving on the Advisory
Board in the 1980s.
Unfortunately, the days are over
when the Town"s legal work
can be done by a small local
firm. The many legal special-
izations needed to defend the
Town's interests argue against a
return to the small firm model.
It is time to bid out, in a
Request For Proposals (RFP)
process, town counsel services.
We need to determine if the
market for such services can
deliver a better cost structure
for our legal work. Currently,
routine services are provided at
a fixed annual rate. The real
expense drivers are for attor-
neys engaged in specialized
areas such as personnel, sewer
negotiations, and zoning
enforcement. The RFP needs to
be a tool that helps us better
manage such work.
We need to improve the way
opinions of counsel can inform
policies set by all Town boards.
Counsel has issued several
opinions about the critical link-
age between sewer and devel-
opmental policies, for example.
All too often however, these
decisions are not made avail-
able to residents, nor even to
other officials outside of the
selectmen's office. At some
point, we need to stop throwing
the cloak of secrecy so univer-
sally over the product of
Counsel's work. Such an effort
will help us both improve deci-
sion making, and save tax dol-
lars. How much better, for
example, would the true interest
of the Town have been served
— and tax dollars saved — if
there had been open debate
about police disciplinary proce-
dures?
I am absolutely against the
idea of securing an additional
counsel reporting to the select-
men on sewer matters.
Particularly when budgets are
so tight, there is no reason to
second guess the Sewer
Commission nor Counsel's
clear determinations made to
date.
SELECTMAN/
Debbie Shadd
Cohasset spends too much on
lawyers and litigation. Over the
last three fiscal years, the Town
spent $248,502 in fiscal year
2002; $250,244 in fiscal year
2003; and $378,797 in fiscal year
2004. Last year, we spent money
for lawyers on police disciplinary
hearings which were eventually
abandoned. Almost $178,000
was spent on these and other
labor-related matters. Our own
water commission sued the
Zoning Board of Appeals, creat-
ing legal costs for the Town on
both sides of the dispute.
Disagreement between our build-
ing inspector and the ZBA creat-
ed significant legal costs for the
Town in the Jerusalem Lane dis-
pute. The end result of all these
cases is that our legal expendi-
tures in FY 2004 were more than
50 percent higher than in FY
2003. This type of escalation
cannot continue.
The problem, however, is not
the retainer relationship with cur-
rent town counsel or the use of a
Boston law firm rather than a
local attorney. The town's retain-
er relationship with Deutsch
Williams Brooks DeRensis &
Holland, PC. has remained
steady since FY 2002 at $54,000
per year. Moreover, using a firm
as town counsel provides the
town with a breadth of experi-
ence and knowledge in many
substantive legal areas. If a pri-
vate attorney were hired instead,
outside counsel with expertise in
a particular area might have to be
hired more often, driving costs
up. Given the increasing com-
plexity of legal issues facing the
town, the expertise a larger firm
can provide is necessary and
valuable.
The high value of property in
Cohasset makes us a target for lit-
igation. Still, we must work to
gain better control over our legal
budget by reducing the continu-
ing cycle of litigation. Getting all
Town boards on the same page
and all Selectmen committed to
cost containment in this area
would be a good start.
SELECTMAN/
Gary Vanderweil
During my 20 years on the
Sewer Commission, I was
heavily involved on both sides
of this issue. For the first half of
my tenure the town used a
"Private Attorney," and for the
second half it used a "Large
Firm." I prefer the Large Firm.
The billing rales negotiated by
the town for such a Large Firm
are not loo different than those
for a Private Attorney. So the
issue boils down more to one of
performance than of cost.
Concerning performance. I
found that the Private Attorney
was slower — we had longer
response times for our assign-
ments. Since all town work had
to go through a single attorney
a bottleneck often developed
Our legal requests got stacked
in line behind those of other
town departments. With the
Large Firm, more legal
resources are immediately at
hand, and the work gets distrib-
uted to other partners, resulting
in quicker turnaround limes.
Furthermore, when we had a
Private Attorney, whenever
special expertise or a large vol-
ume of work was required, a
Special Counsel would be
appointed, almost always at a
higher hourly billing rate. In
effect, the totality of Private
Attorney plus Special Counsels
at any given time was collec-
tively the size of a Large Firm,
but a good deal more disjoint-
ed. On the other hand, with a
single Large Firm, mosl of the
special expertise resides within
the firm and is available al the
lower rale schedule agreed to
by the firm.
For these reasons, I would opl
lor the Large Firm approach I
might add parenthetically, (hat
as a Sewer Commissioner. I
was pleased with the legal
advise obtained from the
town's present firm. Deutsch
Williams, and I personally am
not motivated to seek altern.i
lives
QUESTION OF THE WEEK - SCHOOL COMMITTEE
For the school committee
candidates: How will you, as a
school committee member,
ensure lluit the "l>est and bright-
est " teacher workforce is recruit-
ed, nurtured, and retained given
the town's current fiscal land-
scape, teacher contract negotia-
tions, and community demands
for excellence '
SCHOOL COMMITTEE
1-YEAR/Pam Wilson
Attracting and retaining the
"best and brightest" teacher
workforce is fundamental to
meeting our town's educational
requirements. A major role of the
schix>l committee is to ensure
that we have the proper programs
in place and support of the town
to make Cohasset schools a
desirable place tor teachers to
work.
I believe that the key attributes
■ necessary to attracting and retain-
ing the best teachers are: com-
- munily support; academic and
extra-curricular performance,
compensation, advancement,
training and professional devel-
opment. Based on my observa-
tions, there are opportunities to
build upon our existing pro-
grams.
As a school committee mem-
ber. I believe that it is our respon-
sibility to provide clear and sup-
portive communication with our
teachers. This will help demon-
strate our community's commit-
ment to our educators. In addi-
tion, we must look for creative
ways to provide our teachers
with ongoing, additional training
and professional development.
Faculty must be encouraged to
share knowledge and new ideas
as we grow in this area of profes-
sional development and expand
our existing mentor programs. It
is essential that all of our training
programs are both effective and
up to date.
We must develop stronger part-
nerships across the school work-
force as well as across the entire
community. We must plan and
use resources effectively, while
continually improving services.
Monitoring and maintaining
these high performance levels in
our schools, as well as consistent-
ly striving for higher standards,
will enhance Cohasset's desir-
ability to prospective teachers.
As a community, if we can deliv -
er on these attributes, then ihe
Cohasset school system will
become a model for teachers to
aspire toward. All of these efforts
will allow us to make further
important gains, achieving our
goals and benefiting our students
in our schools in the years ahead.
To attract and retain the best we
must first offer the best.
SCHOOL COMMITTEE/
1 -YEAR/Lee Jenkins
No school committee member
under Ed Reform can have any
direct impact on hiring anyone
but the superintendent of schools.
The decision lies with the princi-
pals for hiring their individual
school staffs
Cohasset is in the same perilous
financial boat as are so many
other towns in the
Commonwealth. We are all look-
ing for the same work force to
lead our children to excellence.

niques other than help wanted
ads be utilized. We should be in
contact with placement offices at
the top universities and have a
virtual promotional film prepared
on DVD to market our school.
This can be done in-house at lit-
tle expense.
We are in a unique position,
being a small affluent communi-
ty with a very supportive parent
base and an impressive number
of students who go on to higher
learning. Our new "campus" con-
figuration lends us an air of an
academy rather than a public-
school system. There are proce-
dures we can utilize that will also
positively enhance the profes-
sional environment in the class-
room to make teaching in our
new state of Ihe art schools as
attractive to teachers as possible
Our current union contract has
more room for professional
growth than other districts. In the
last three years we have added
extra columns and steps which
enable a teacher to be rewarded
for continuing education. It is s a
tremendous selling point and
indicates our dedication to excel-
lence.
As a school committee member
my top priority is to maintain as
much money in the classroom as
possible. If teachers know that I
am looking at the budget in a fis-
cally responsible manner and
consider cutting their jobs as the
absolute last option, it will make
for a better work environment.
SCHOOL COMMITTEE
3-YEAR/AhYed Slanetz
The most important determi-
nant of success in education is
the quality of teachers and cur-
riculum. We are fortunate to
have many excellent teachers in
Cohasset but need to do more to
reinforce and develop a culture
of respect and support for great
teachers.
A great teacher is someone
who is not only knowledgeable
and competent but is on fire
with excitement for the subject,
takes the time to know each
child and their way of learning,
celebrates the strengths and tal-
ents in each child, encourages
curiosity, points out not just
what's wrong, but also what's
right, and accepts only each
child's personal best.
I believe that teachers really
do want to know their students
and personalize teaching in
smaller classes. They want time
to thoughtfully upgrade curricu-
lum and teaching practices.
They want more emphasis on
thinking, communication skills,
in-depth learning and richer cur-
riculum. •
The key to implementing
these upgrades in a cost-effec-
tive way is the teacher contract
negotiation: 70 percent of the
School Budget is governed by
the teacher union contract. In
each of the last three years
under the current contract,
salaries increased by an average
of $360,000 per year- enough to
hire 8-to-10 new teachers and,
over two or three years, bring
our class sizes to optimal levels.
In the current contract negotia-
tion, we should negotiate a sig-
nificant compromise in the raise
and. in exchange, commit to
hire additional teachers, sched-
ule weekly time for develop-
ment of curriculum and teach-

ing methods, and introduce an

A new wave
By Mark Goodman
MGOODMAN»CNC.COM
The Norwe 1 1 -Cohasset gym-
nastics team missed their third
trip to the state sections in four
years by less than a point.
With a number of talented
underclassmen set to return next
year, there is a good chance the
team won"! miss out next season.
The team is. of course, losing
their two all-around performers.
Cohasset senior Nancy Durkin
and Norwell senior Samanlha
Rosen. Both scored high enough
to qualify for the state individu-
als meet, and with scores consis-
tently in the 32-34 range, will be
hard to replace.
ITiere are many underclass-
men returning, however, who
will be looking to step up into
even more important roles with
the team next year.
One is Cohasset junior Lisa
Spirito. who was a Cranberry
League All-Star this season
(Durkin was the team's other all-
star from Cohasset High
School). Spirito performed in the
floor exercise, bars and beam
this year, usually scoring at least
in the high 7's and getting as
high as 8.5 on the floor over the
course of the season.
Erin Kelly, a junior from
Norwell. is another athlete who
should figure prominently in
next season's line-up. Kelly was
another gymnast who participat-
ed in multiple events, including
floor, beam and bars. With
scores ranging from the low 7's
to the low 8's, Kelly could be a
contender for one of those open
all-around spots.
Another Norwell junior. CJ
Himberg. will also be in the mix
next season. Himberg was one of
many gymnasts who earned the
praise of coach Kara Connerty
for their contributions to the
team. She was consistently one
of the team's top scorers on the
beam with marks in the high 7's.
Corinna Durham of Cohasset
placed for her team in the vault
and tlixir, with the vault being
her best event.
Kate Carpenter and KJentHl
Shorn/ were two other gymnasts
who earned solid marks this sea-
son and will be back for next

success in 2005
By Mark Goodman
MGO0DMAVSCNC.COM
There is one word to describe
Cohasset wrestling this year:
phenomenal.
With six athletes competing at
the All-Slates, the Skippers were
loaded from top to bottom.
The result, as we all know by
now. was the team's first state
title in the history of the pro-
gram.
For the team's six seniors - co-
captains Matt Casey and
Jonathan Littauer. Joe Kehoe.
Kevin Dinsmore. Colin Regan
and Matt Baroudi - their high
school grappling careers could
not have ended any better.
The six started their career with
the goal of winning that state
championship as a team, and led
by the efforts of Kehoe. they did
it.
The 160-pound senior went a
remarkable 45-2 this year, win-
ning the Div. 3 state individual
title at that weight class. Kehoe
made the Goals of the All-States,
where he lost to Franklin's CJ
Colace (who beat everyone he
laced this year on his way to a
New England championship).
This remarkable season came on
the heels of a 140-pound state
title last year.
Casey and Baroudi easily
could have been slate champions
as well had it not been for
injuries. Baroudi. a 215-pound
state champion last year,
advanced all the way to the 1X9-
pound championship match of
the states, and was ahead in the
third period before being forced
to forfeit due to an injury.
For the team's six
seniors - co-
captains Matt
Casey and Jonathan
Littauer, Joe Kehoe,
Kevin Dinsmore,
Colin Regan and
Matt Baroudi -
their high school
grappling careers
could not have
Littauer and Dinsmore finished
fifth and sixth, respectively, in

One of the highlights to
Dinsmore's season was a win in
the BC High match, his t.>rmer
SChOOi, Regan also had a solid
season, winning more than two-
thirds ol his matches
That is a lot of talent going the
way of caps and gowns right
there, but several unden.lassmi.-ii
are more than capable ol keeping
Cohasset in the land of promi-
nence. Leading the way in that
category are juniors David
McKenna and Shane Dorian,
both of whom were also state
champions.

Sixers' comeback falls short
in playoff loss to Norwell
Another miracle comeback was
not in the cards for the Cohasset
Sixth Grade Girls Travel basket-
ball team, as they dropped an 18-
12 decision to Norwell in the
quarterfinal round of the South
Shore League playoffs Friday
evening. March 1 1, at Carver.
A disastrous first half for the
Sixers, their worst of the season,
would prove too much for the
Blue & White to overcome.
Cohasset fell behind 14-2 in the
first 15 minutes of play before a
bucket by Kate French made it
14-4 at the intermission.
It was not that so much that the
Sixers were playing poorly, as it
was that Norwell was hitting
shots from all over the court
against a tight Cohasset 2-3 zone
defense. On the other end of the
floor. Cohasset had ample oppor-
tunities to score, but it proved to
be one of those nights when their
shots simply were not falling.
The second half proved to be
another ballgame altogether,
however. The Blue and While's
miracle win at the buzzer the
week before against Rockland
proved to the Cohasset girls the
truth of the saying that, it's never
over 'til it's over."
The Sixers stuck to their game
plan to get the ball inside and it
soon began to pay off. The for-
ward line of Emma Musto,
Lindsay Davis, Carli Haggerty.
and French all hit for baskets and
Cohasset methodically began to
climb out of its hole.
Meanwhile, the Cohasset
defense tightened and Norwell no
longer was hitting the shots which
had earned it a big lead. With less
than live minutes to play. Norwell
had scored just one bucket in the
entire half and the Sixers had
closed the gap to 16-12.
The momentum clearly had
swung to Cohasset's side and
Norwell was on the run. French
then almost made it a two-point
game, but her shot off the back-
board did one of those tantalizing
"three-quarters around the rim
and out" spins which left fans and
players alike on both sides in a
state of frenzy.
That would prove to be the
apogee of the Cohasset come-
back. A minute later a Norwell
girl who was about to be trapped
by two Cohasset defenders tossed

prow ling the blue line, ihe Cape
Cod team was never able to
mount much of an offensive
attack. What attack they did
manage lo muster was quickly
squelched by Ihe solid play of
Lcmieux.
Finally, midway through the
second period. Kyle Bowman
solved the Cape Cod goalie.
Alter a slick move through the
slot he tired a shot to the high
right corner, lighting ihe lamp
and giving Ihe stars the 2-1
lead.
Having regained Ihe lead, the
offense continued with the hus-
tling line of Nick Barnhard,
Patrick Cullen and Brian
Neuls applying aggressive fore-
checking. At one point early in
the third period. Cullen stole the
puck from a Cape Cod forward
in front of (he net. but just
couldn't get a handle on the
puck Id bury an insurance goal.
In ihe waning seconds of the
second period. Cole sent Vlatt
Boudreau in on a breakaway,
but despite a great shot by
Boudreau. Gibson was again up
lo ihe challenge. For the
remainder of the game the Stars
pelted the Cape Cod goalie with
shots. Farren. Parker and
Bowman each made spectacu-
lar full-sheet rushes, but could
not score some breathing room
for the Slars.
In the end. the tallies by
Parker and Bowman would be
all the Stars would need as
Lcmieux and the defense made
Ihe two goals sland up and gave
Ihe Slars their first playoff vic-
tor) of ihe year.
Squirt C4
The Coastal Slars Squirt C-4
team is really clicking as they
wind up their regular season
play.
Last Sunday they defeated the
Taunton Brewins by a score of
8-1. Mosi of the goals came
from the team's scoring
machines. James Daley and
Andrew Tautkus. Daley had
lour goals and Taulkus had a hat
trick.
Only a couple minutes into
the first period, forward
Tommy Coyne made a beauti-
ful centering pass to Andrew
Tautkus which Tautkus one-
timed into the left-hand corner
of the net. giving the Stars an
early 1 -0 lead. Tautkus grabbed
the puck off the next face-off
and drove to the net. burying
the puck behind the netminder
for his second.
Daley look the ice and
whipped two powerful shots in
Ihe net in one shift, putting Ihe
Stars up by four. At the end of
the period. Stars goalie Max
Hemingway stopped a Brewins
shot, but Ihe Brewins picked up
the rebound and got their one
and only goal of the game.
Andrew Tautkus wasn't fin-
ished, sneaking in his third goal
before the end of ihe period.
The Stars came into the sec-
ond period with a 5- 1 lead.
Daley lifted a wrisier, giving
the Stars a 6-1 lead.
Hemingway stole the show in
the second when he made an
unbelievable save, absolutely
robbing a Hawk on a break-a-
way.
The Stars would gel their 7th
goal, when defenseman RJ
Neuls skated out of his own ter-
ritory and fired a blinding shot
from the blue line, netting his
second goal of the season.
Daley scored his fourth of the
game off a beautiful backhand-
ed pass from linemate Mike
McPartlin
After an uneventful third peri-
od. Ihe Slars skated away with
the 8-1 win. The Stars team
plays their final regular season
game this weekend. The com-
petitive passing and shooting
skills of forwards Andrew and
Matt Tautkus. Ryan Melia,
Daley. Seamus Feency, Liam
Rose. McPartlin and Coyne
have been Ihe key to putting the
C-4 team ahead on the score-
board.
Coach Tautkus is relying on
his "brick wall" defenders -
Tristan Wiggin, Nicholas
Craig. RJ Neuls and Jonathan
Gardner to help the team finish
(he season strong.
Mite C2
The Coastal Stars Mite C2
hockey team won its filth game
in a row on Sunday beating a
good Brockton team 6-1 at
Asiaf arena in Brockton. The
Stars were led by Andrew
Kuppens who scored two goals
and set the tone of the game
with some aggressive offensive
play.
The Stars got off to a nice start
in the first period displaying
good fore checking and keeping
the play in the Brockton zone
Derek Benson opened the scor-
ing with the first of his two
goals with a one timer off the
rebound of a Kyle Bowman
shot.
At the start of the second peri-
od, Ihe Stars line of Jack
McNeil. Kuppens. Brian
Mathews, Shaelyn Tobin, and
Robert Bothwell moved the
puck well in the Brockton zone.
After a Mathews shot. Kuppens
took the rebound and lifted the
puck over the Brockton goal-
keeper making it 2-0.
Later in the period. Andrew
scored his second goal of the
game taking a feed from
Seamus Ryan and beating the
goalie to the short side just as
the buzzer sounded ending the
shift. The Stars made it four to
nothing on the last shift of the
period, when Benson took ihe
puck from behind ihe nei and
scored a rap around goal. '.
At the start of the third period.
Bowman took a pass from
Benson right off the face-off
and scored on a one timer to the
five hole. The Stars kepi the
pressure on throughout the peri-
od and received solid play from
Mathew Johnson, Harry
Sheldon and Seamus Ryan,
who were all over Ihe ice.
Chris Phillips, as usual, was
a rock in goal. The final goal of
the game was Stars prettiest
goal of the year. Jo Jo Carhone
stole the puck at center ice and
skated around a Brockton
defender wiih a pretty spin
move and then fed Mckenzie )n
stride. Gunnar finished off the
play with a blistering wrist shot

Patriot League wrap up
The three Patriot League
squads closed oul the regular
season in Cohasset againsi
Halifax two weeks ago.
The Sixers had several offen-
sive chances early, hul couldn't
convert. Robert Jones got the
party started, finding Anders
GoetZ for IWO and then look it to
the hoop himself.
Derek Younginan forced
Halifax to turnover the hall and
found Gabe Seksay underneath
for a basket. This was vintage
Sixer action. Big men Seksaj
and Eric Wasel continued to con-
vert offensive second and third
chances. Jones penetrated the
key to the left and drew ihe
defense with him and Ben
Campbell hit his trademark out-
side shot to give Cohasset a
commanding lead at the half.
A rejuvenated Halifax squad
came hack in the second hall and
closed the lead to three points,
but Ihe Sixers regrouped and
used all of their skill and talent to
secure the win. Robbie Hill.
Mike Monaco. Drew Cobin.
Jack Carrier and Sam
Richardson played great team
ball.
Coach Seks.iy said ■The whole
team played big. We needed
them to and they delivered,
everyone delivered."
In summing up the season, as
the) head to the playoffs. Coach
Campbell said that their success
is due to the fact that •'they
played like a team all year and
continued to share the hall and
that is thekey to their success "

season on a winning note, easily

All hail Danny
Egg on your
face shouldn't smell this sweet
Filet of crow can'i possibly go
down sir easily.
I was wrong. Danny. I was
wrong and I admit it. I always
saw you as the fifth wheel on the
great Celtic teams of the I "80s.
You were the annoying little
brother jumping up and down,
screaming "Can I play? Can I
play'?" You were the guy that
Tree Rollins bit. You were the
other guy from Wham.
When you came back to this
once glorious franchise as gener-
al manager. I tore into each one
of your seemingly random deci-
sions like they were the last slice
of pizza. You claimed to see
something no one else did. and I
mocked you for your arrogance.
You were never one of the "Big
Three." Heck, you weren't even
DJ., a Hall of Famer without a
plaque. You were just Danny
Ainge, a weak-hitting former
infielder who rode Ihe coattails
off your basketball teammates to
three world championships.
For your first trick, you essen-
tially traded Antoine Walker, an
all-star forward, to Dallas for an
oft-injured, non-rebounding
backup center named Raef
LaFrentz. Then you sent solid-
citizen Eric Williams to
Cleveland for Ricky Davis, a guv
who once intentionally missed a
lay-up so he could get a rebound
and a triple-double. Oh. then you
sent your starting point guard.
Chuck) Atkins, and a serv iceahle
big man in Chris Mihm to Ihe
Lakers for a fading Hall of
Famer point guard. Gary Payton.
who seemed somewhat uninter-
ested in finishing his days with a
rebuilding team.
Ihe roster carousel spun so
quickly it left me dizzy and just a
wee bit nauseous. You seemed SO
determined to prove your worth
as a Celtic (hat you were willing
to take the entire franchise dow n
with you.
I was wrong. Danny. You are a
genius.
You saw a team much closer to
contention that ;iny of us. You
recognized the potential of rook-
ies Ton) Allen. Al Jefferson and
Dome West when only the die-
hard fans knew who they were.
You saw Davis as a terrific com-
plement to Paul Pierce. You envi-
sioned LaFrentz using his long-
range touch to open the middle
for a learn of slashers. You hired
a former coach of the year who
has earned the respect of his
players. My gosh, you even con-
vinced Payton he could win a
title without needing to be a
superstar anymore.
But most of all you saw the
nomadic path the Walker look
alter you sent him packing and
you realized the lime was right to
bring him back home.
Remember how you once said
he wasn't a w inner? Well, you
were brave enough to admit you
were wrong, mid general man-
agers like to do that almost as
much as sportswriters do.
The trade gave the Celtics the
offense balance they were clear-
ly lacking. No longer is Walker
the shtxit-tirst. deflect-questions-
later forward he was earlier in his
career. Now he rebounds,
defends, moves the ball around
and even ventures inside to give
Ihe C's a valuable post presence.
All this for end-ol-lhe-road Tom
Gugliotta. nonentity Michael
Stew, in and S draft pick.
The besl part of all is thai
Payton. who was p;irt of the
trade, refused to sign with
Atlanta and came back to Boston
even though playoff-caliber
leams such as Dallas and
Sacramento wanted him badly.
Brilliant.
Payion's reason for choos-
ing Boston was simple - he saw
what Ainge h;kl seen all along
The Celtics are much closer lo a
title than most people think I did-
n't believe that until last Friday
night in Houston. The nagging
question surrounding the Celtics
has concernd their ability lo han-
dle teams w ith a big center, such
as Yao Ming. The Celtics may
lack a dominating interior pres-
ence on both sides of the ball, but
after watching them blow out the
red-hot Reelects, teams should be
more concerned with how to
guard the multifaceted Boston
attack.
In the Easiern Conference,
there are really only two other
dangerous teams. The defending
champion Detroit Pistons can't
be overkxrked because of their
experience, balance and coach-
ing. But the Pistons have to play
their grind-ii-out style to win.
When the Celtics and Pistons
faced off two weeks ago in that
double-overtime thriller, the C's
w ere able to push it up court just
enough to escape w ith the victo-
ry. If LaFrentz and Mark Blount
can consistently draw Ben
Wallace away from the paint
with their perimeter shooting, the
C's have a chance.
Of course. Miami remains the
hottest team in basketball and the
mountain that Boston must ulti-
mately climb. We all know about
Shaq. but a team without a dom-
inating big man like the Celtics
can afford to send ( J'Neul and his
brink-layer touch to the line over
and over again. The key will be
slowing Dwyane Wade down.
The second-year player has
emerged as a tremendous all-
around threat who seems to get
better by the game.
The Magic are a little like
Hakeem's Rockets of the mid-
905. They have surrounded a
dominant post player with terrif-
ic three-point Shooters and a mul-
titalented hybrid point/shooting
guard in the Clyde Drexler mold.
They may not be pretty to watch,
but Miami should remain very
tough to beat. Pierce will need to
Statistical]) neutralize Wade for
the Celtics to have a shot.
If the Celtics could somehow
gel past the Magic, (hey can beat
any body in the league. Phoenix
and Seattle will be exposed by
the Spurs in the West. As great as
Duncan is. and as well as Tony
Parker has been playing, the
Celtics could have a chance
because of their depth and ener-
gy off the bench.
It certainly won't be an easy
road. But the Celtics are playing
as well as any team north of
Miami right now. That's a stag-
gering statement considering
where this team was last year.
So take a bow. Danny. You
deserve it. You've given Celtic
fans a reason lo believe again.
You've even made humble pie

to make it a six point game.
The big shot took the w ind out
of the Sixers' comeback sails and
provided Norwell with an extra
margin of comfort which pre-
vailed to the end. Ihe scorebook
showed that free throw shooting
proved to be ihe Sixers' Achilles
heel once again, as happened on
many other occasions this season.

parly Tuesday e\ening. which
was attended by about NO people

The travel coaches gave a brief
talk and then introduced their
players individually, each of
whom was presented with an
outdoor basketball both to recog-
nize their dedication to the travel
program over the past live
months and to encourage ihem to
play as much as possible during
the summer and off-season.
The break-up event was espe-
cially poignant for Coach Matt
Salerno and his eighth grade
girls. a.s it marked their '"gradua-
tion" from the travel program
and a kxik ahead to their high
school careers.
Cohassel girls varsity hoop
coach John Levangic made a
special appearance as guest
speaker, and he urged all of the
girls to work as hard as they can
to become better ballplayers.
Levangk cited CHS star Casey
Anderson as an example of
'"someone not only with great tal-
ent, but w ho also rales as one of
the lop three hardest workers I
ever have coached in my career.
"The key to success."'
LeVangie said, "is simple: Work
harder than y our opponents."
Eighth grade coach and girls
travel coordinator Matt Salerno,
who served as emcee for the
evening's festivities, concluded
by congratulating all of the girls
for their accomplishments and
thanked their patents for the sac-
rifices they make on behalf of
their daughters" athletic aspira-
tions.
He also expressed special
thanks, echoed by all of the
coaches and players, for the sup-
port and assistance throughout
the season of the Cohasset
Basketball Boosters; Asst.
Principal Michael Gill of the
Middle-High School; Principal
Keith Gauley of the Deer Hill
School; Principal Janet Sheehan
of the Osgood School; Athletic

Pink Balloons swayed in the
twilight on Ripk-y Road Sunday
evening as a reception at Adrian
Mitrris Salon raised funds to tight
breast cancer. Guests attending the
event shared stories of courage
and hope 06 they mingled al this
poignant social gathering.
Earlier that day, Morris and sev -
eral salon professionals had
offered haircuts to the community
lor a donation to The Susan G.
Komcn Foundation. In a mailer of
hours, thousands of dollars were
raised from customers of all ages
who flocked lo ihe salon for this
worthy cause.
Donations continued at the
evening function during which a
silent auction and rattle were
made possible by tlie gifts of hx'al
and regional businesses and resi-
dents. The atmosphere of Ihe
evening was warm and generous
as volunteers, guesls. ameer sur-
vivors and supporters united in this
labor of love. Encouragement for
ihose recently finished with treat-
ment as well as support for sur-
vivors of many years tlowed
throughout conversations of car-
ing and kindness.
According lo Morris, breast can-
cer is a charily fervently supported
by the company. The inspiration
for litis event had OHM Irani Ihe
battle faced by his friend, Karen
Petri Do of Hull. Though unable to
he present al the affair, Petrillo was
recognized by photos and collages

"This disease has such a devas-
tating impact on ihe lives of so
many women," Morris said. "I am
so grateful lo .ill in ihe community
who have come together to make
this day possible. I feel strong!)
thai we must help to light for a
CUte. My business is annul women
and beauty, and cancer has such an
overwhelming and distressing
effect in SO many ways. If it were
not lor so many great women there
would he no need for businesses
like mine, I have much admiration
for ihe courage and strength dis-
played by Ihose who light breasi

Morris staled thai a Foundation
in Karen's honor would be estab-
lished and lundraising efforts
would continue.
"We hope lo provide assistance
for the daily needs of ihose afflict-
ed in our community. Beauty
products, gas money for trips to
daily radiation appointments,
babysitting and home delivered
meals are a few examples of Ihe
basic needs that arise during the
duration of cancer treatment We
feci helping with these essentials
will be a valuable contribution."

-AIRPLANE EAR"
Travelers who have colds or
anatomy that makes them more
vulnerable to pressure changes
inside the cabin of an airplane
may suffer pain and even tempo-
rary hearing loss from "airplane
ear." Barotrauma, or barotitis
media, is caused by unequal pres-
sure between a person's middle
ear and the pressure in the air-
plane cabin. Normally, the
eustachian tube, which connects
the middle ear to the back of the
throat equalizes the pressure.
When the tube is blocked due to
congestion or other causes, the
unequal pressure creates a vacu-
um, stretching the eardrum
These pressure changes are usu-
ally fell most intensely during
landings, at which time the
eardrum is pulled inward. The
eardrum may also not vibrate
normally, which impairs hearing.
If you would like lo learn how to
safeguard your hearing from haz-
ards of all kinds, we invite you to
ask ihe people who know the
people who have your best inter-
ests ai heart - ihe people al FAM-

The Atlantica is one of 10 Costa ships sailing the
Caribbean and Europe, The ship spends winters
alternating weekly between ports in the eastern and
western Caribbean, with summer and fall spent
visiting Russia. Egypt. Greece and Turkey.
The Italian aspects take Caribbean cruising to
another level. We got a taste of Europe, while visit-
ing Cozutnel. Ocho Rios in Jamaica and Grand
Cayman. The ship's Catfe Florian. a replica of the
famous 18th century Venice cafe, was a favorite
spot. Passengers can sink into red velvet banquettes
and sip cappuccino while a pianist plays Brahms on
a baby grand. And did I hear "Puppy Love?"
Announcements are made in Italian. French.
Gennan and English. The line's Caribbean cruises
draw 80 percent North American passengers and
20 percent European, while the line's European
trips Hip- flop those demographics.
The Atlantica's 1.057 cabins are decorated in
corals and lighl woods with Jacuzzi (ubs in the
suites. Spring for an ocean view, even if you can
afford only an obstructed one. It's well worth it. On
my veranda oik- morning. I sipped coffee as the
tezuro mare drifted by and the misty hills of Cuba
lingered in the distance. Now that's a vacation.
Cuisine on the Atlantica unfortunately is hit or
miss. The hits, not suprisingly. all involved pasta,
while other entrees during fonnal meals were never
too memorable The ship's specialty dining venue.
Club Atlantica however, lived up b its billing with
strip steaks. Lyonnaise potatoes and wine decanted
In formal style (cover charge $23 per person).
The ship's fitness center didn't draw much of a .
crowd besides the dancers and other performers \
who live on board. Too bad. The gym is at the front
Of the ship with treadmills facing into the wind
behind a wall of windows, creating a view unpar-
ailed by any gym on land. In the spa, daily specials j
were offered. I scored an hourlong classic Swedish j
massage for $70.
Theme nights on the Atlantica turn the ship into
an Italian street festival, including the night that
Nino was king and an outrageous Roman
Bacchanal on the last evening when passengers
were furnished with bed sheets and toga-tying
iastmcu'ons. One guy wn«e on his sheet. "My
grandma went to Pompeii and all I got was this
toga"
Decked out in our Roman togs, we filled the
Caruso Theater to rate other passengers in a talent
show. The contestant risked being "fed to the lion"
— a guy in a fur suit — or winning a trip to the mid-
night buffet. A Bulgarian passenger won over the
crowd with a stunning Puccini number. Nino "Mr.
Pizza" Mannone sang "La Bamba" and narrow ly
made it to the prosciutto.
"When people can have a good laugh and feel
they are welcomed, that's when they're having a
good time." said cruise director Max Bertolotto. a ,
Genova native who dolled his custom-made suit'
one night to pick up a guitar and play a serviceable
Stevie Ray Vaughn tribute in the ship's Corrallo
lounge.
Late at night, the best television was a rebroadcast .
from the ship's theater of the cruise director's ver- 1
sion of the "Newly wed Game." A couple married 55
years recounted "making whtxmie" on a relative's
lloor because the bed was uxi squeaky.
A man from Wisconsin was asked to name his
favorite condiment Trojans," he replied, and
looked bewildered by the laughter. His wife said
mustard.
Cruises aboard the Costa Atlantica are from $5*W
in the Caribbean and $1,189 in Europe, per person,
double occupancy. Discounts may be available.

Come

Town
Meeting gets
underway
Saturday
By Samantha Brown
SAMBROWNWCNC.COM
Does a $12 million sewer
expansion get your attention?
How about a $400,000 over-
ride to balance the proposed $32
million operating budget?
What: Town Meeting
When: 10 a.m.. Saturday
Where: Sullivan Gymnasium
atCMHS
What's up: Voting the bud-
get, water & sewer projects, and
bylaw changes
Do you think new. large homes
in Cohasset are ruining the
town's character?
These issues and more are on
Saturday's agenda when the
annual Town Meeting will con-
vene at 10 a.m. in the Sullivan
Gymnasium at the middle-high
school.
With another override vote on
the table as well as requests to
fund water and sewer projects —
money is at the heart of many of
the major issues.
Town Meeting will cast votes
on 21 articles, or items of busi-
ness, detailed in the Town
Warrant, which was mailed to all
households. Extra warrants will
be available Saturday.
Town Meeting will begin
promptly at 10 a.m. and business
will be conducted until I p.m., at
which point there will be a break
for lunch. The meeting will
resume at 2 p.m. and will run
until 5 p.m.. unless it is deter-
mined by the Moderator George
Marlette thai business can be
completed by 6 p.m.
In the event the meeting must
carry over to a second night, it
will resume Monday night at 7
p.m.
A quorum of 100 registered
voters is required before Town
Meeting can get underway. Once
a quorum is determined at the
start of the meeting by the mod-
erator, the presence of a quorum
is presumed to continue unless it
is challenged and a count shows
a quorum is not present. Without
a quorum, Town Meeting will be
adjourned.
Articles are slated to be taken
up in the order they appear in the
warrant, although there has been
some question of whether the
water department articles should
be moved up.
Selectmen Chairman Michael
Sullivan said Water

Sewer plans go before voters
'Big gorilla'
article is $12M
By Mary Ford
MFORDCCNC.COM
If last Saturday was a dress
rehearsal then this Saturday's
performance should go off
without a hitch.
Although the audience was
small perhaps due to the holi-
day weekend, members of the
sewer commission and their
consulting engineer took center
stage as they walked through a
series of four articles - or items
of business - that are before
Town Meeting during a well
advertised, public forum
Saturday morning.
The issue is significant
because — the expansion of
and access to — the sewer sys-
tem that have dominated the
news so far in 2005 show no
signs of abating. Homeowners
in the Little Harbor/Atlantic
Avenue areas have been the
most passionate about the need
to connect and have been serv-
ing as watchdogs to ensure any
existing, excess capacity does
not go to new developments.
The sewer commission's
plans, if approved, would ulti-
mately connect existing homes
Sewers at a glance:
• Betterment costs per EDU in the Little
Harbor/Atlantic Ave. sewer district would be roughly
$27,400 or $13,200 if voters agree on a 50 percent sub-
sidy
• Homeowners would have to pay for a grinder pump
and the cost of installing the pipe from the house to the
street estimated at $12,000 to $20,000 depending on the
distance. Grinder pumps run about $3,500
• Gravity sewers would not be used because of the
ledge in the area making them prohibitively expensive
because of the depth in the ground the pipe installation
would require.
• Cohasset currently has a 30-year agreement with
Hull for 80,000 gallons per day. North Cohasset (near
Straits Pond) is connected to Hull which could be
expanded to include Rust Way, Deep Run and portions
of Jerusalem Road
in designated priority areas to
the sewer by both expanding
Cohasset's treatment plant and
through buying additional
capacity from Hull. Priority
areas are those which are either
causing pollution of water bod-
ies through failed septic sys-
tems or have the potential to do
so.
How to pay for the new sewer
districts will also be before
Town Meeting voters. In the
past, taxpayers have subsidized
the North and Central sewer
projects 50 percent meaning
the users pay 50 percent of the
cost of benerments with the
other half covered through a
Prop. 2-1/2 debt exclusion thai
adds to everyone's property
taxes.
Here is a snapshot of the
sewer articles (Town
Moderator George Marlette
will take up each article in the
warrant in order. There are
21 articles in all].
• Article 11 - $I00.(XX) to
update Ihe sewer commission s

'0' is Cohasset's favorite letter
Town goes for
another override
By Samantha Brown
SAMBR0WN4KINC.COM
The way things are going the
O' in Cohasset - could stand for
override.
The small town of roughly
7,000 hasn't shied away from
Prop. 2-1/2 override votes,
whether they be for schools,
sewer projects, or to make up a
deficit in the operating budget
Will this year's voters say
"enough is enough"' or will a
majority say. overrides are a tact
of life and the town can't live
without them'.'
Saturday's annual Town
Meeting may hold the answer. It
could set the stage lor another
override ballot vote - solely tor
the school budget at a Special
election on a date to he deter-
mined. Or Town Meeting could
say "no" and ask town officials to
cut the fiscal 2(XKi budget
This year, a $400,000 Prop. 2-
1/2 override is being presented,
which must first pass muster with

Those without sewer could see financial relief in future
But plan is tabled
until the fall TM
By Samantha Brown
SAMBROWNOCNC.COM
; There are two types of homes
in Cohasset: those that are on
-town sewer and those that aren't.
However, all property owners
- whether connected to sewers
;or not - are subsidizing those in
the North Cohasset Sewer
District and in the expanded
Central Sewer District.
: Under the so-called "50-50,"
lall taxpayers are footing half the
;bill for the cost of the North and
Central projects. That means
•many homeowners are currently
helping to pay for a service they
'.currently do not have and may
jiever get.
; To that end, the Board of
Health is floating plans for a new
onsite wastewater management
program, which could provide
property owners whose homes
>von't be sewered with a 50 per-
cent taxpayer subsidy to main-
tain and upgrade their septic sys-
tems.
The proposal, which would
ask for an appropriation of $3
million to get the program
underway, was slated to come
before the April 2 annual Town
Meeting. However, selectmen
suggested the article be post-
poned to allow time for the
financial aspects of the plan to be
worked out, and the health board
agreed to withdraw it. However,
the health board will make a pre-
liminary presentation at
Saturday's Town Meeting to
educate voters about the pro-
gram. The wastewater plan
would require a Prop. 2- 1/2 debt
exclusion.
In a nutshell, residents whose
homes are on septic systems
would be eligible to enroll and
would pay an annual user fee of
potentially $1,000 going into the
onsite wastewater management
fund. The town — through the
fund — would be responsible for
paying for all routine mainte-
" Everyone needs a solution. I've been
paying for a sewer I'm never going to see,
and I'm not so trusting there will be a
Tom Callahan. Hillside Dri
nance for onsite systems, such as
regular pumping.
In addition, if a system fails,
the town would use the money in
the fund to pick up half the cost
of an upgrade, which averages
roughly $35,000 in Cohasset.
The $3 million "seed money"
would be used to help pay for
any necessary repairs to systems
at the outset of the program.
While Selectman Rob
Spofford agrees with the con-
cept, he said there is currently no
way to know how many home-
owners would participate or
what the town's liability would
be. There are roughly 1. 1 00
homes with septic systems in
town, which is approximately
40 percent of the total house-
holds in Cohasset.
"I cannot make the assump-
tion no one's going to join."
Spofford said. "I have to
assume everyone will."
Assuming systems will cost
roughly $30,000 to upgrade,
"you've got a $30 million lia-
bility," he said.
Tom Callahan, who worked
with the health hoard to draft the
article, said the question is one
of equality. He said because
property owners in the North
and Central Cohasset districts
were provided sewer connec-
tions subsidized 50 percent bv
the town, offering a program
which would provide the same

enterprise fund because the
updated plan would benefit
new. not existing sewer users,
sewer commission chairman
Ray Kaspen;wic/. said. The cost
would be spread out over
roughly five years starting in
fiscal 2007.
• Article 12 - Dubbed the
"big gorilla" article that seeks
$12 million to expand the
capacity of Cohasset's sewer
treatment plant to accommodate
the estimated 150.000 gallons
per day of additional waste-
water flow from roughly 440
EDUs (Equivalent Dwelling
Units) in the Little
Harbor/Atlantic Avenue neigh-
borhoods. [Some homes may be
condos or have more than one
family, hence the EDUs].
The $12 million would cover
permitting costs, modifications
to the plant itself within its cur-
rent footprint, and installing
pipes in the streets; it does not
include running the pipe from
the house to the street. That cost
would be covered by the user.
Homeowners would also have
to pay for the grinder pumps
which the sewer commission
would buy in bulk that would be
installed on their property.
Homeowners can choose a
grinder pump that is buried in
the ground or another model
that can be installed in the base-
ment.
The sewer commission said it
has a "high level of confidence"
with the $12 million figure
($1.4 million of that would pay
for upgrading the plant itself)
because 90 percent of the
design work has been done.
That work was paid tor through
prior Town Meeting authoriza-
tions over roughly the past four
years.
The money would be paid
back through betterment fees.
Initially, there would be some
financial impact starting in fis-
cal 2007 because betterments
cannot be assessed until the
sewer system is installed and
working. Betterments will be
the same for each EDU regard-
less and do not vary with
frontage.
Sewer commissioner John
Beck said the additional fresh
water from the out-fall pipe into
the harbor from the sewer plant
expansion would not hurt the
lobster industry. He said the
additional amount - translating
into two-tenths of one percent
of the tidal flux - is negligible
given the body of water and
flow that exists there.
The sewer commission is
adamant that only existing
homes would be able to connect
to the sewer and will not be
installing studs at vacant lots.
• Article 13 — Seeks SI 2
million to expand the North
Cohasset Sewer District to
serve roughly 39 EDUs along
portions of Jerusalem Road.
Rust Way and Deep Run w hich
would he connected to Hull.
The money would he repaid
through betterments once the
system is functional.
• Article 14 — Seeks to share
the cost of Articles 1 2 & 1 3 on a
50/50 basis., with hall covered
by user betterments and half by
the general tax base. II passed,
the f unding would also require a
debt exclusion override vote
The impact on the tax rale is
estimated at 16 cents per S I .(XX)
of valuation (two cents for Deep
Run & Rust Way and 14 cents
for Utile Harbor).
Plans are to install sewers tor
both the expanded North
Cohasset district and Little
Harbor/Atlantic Avenue at the
same time with services com-
plete by the fall of 2010.
Town Meeting gets underway
at 10 a.m., Saturday i April 2i at
the middle-high school
for owners with septic systems,
like himself, adds an element of
fairness.
There is an economic unfair-
ness for septic-system owners,
and a financial hil that is diffi-
cult for some people in town to
deal with." he said. Callahan
added the town is on its way to
spending $12 million to sewer
Little Harbor, and therefore. S3
million lo begin a program for
septic system maintenance is
appropriate. He noted many
homes with septic swans are
in close proximity to Lily Pond,
the town's drinking water sup-
ply.
"Everyone needs a solution.
I've been pay ing for a sewer I'm
never going to see. and I'm not
so trusting there will be a solu-
tion for me." said Callahan
Bui Spofford said the proposal
needs to be Hushed out more.
"The financial] of this have
not been thought ihrough." he
said. "We have zero money but
you want lo start a program, no
questions asked'.'
"You're asking the town (o
gel into the insurance business
Are we prepared to do that?"
asked Spofford.
Spofford suggesied the article
be brought back in the tail but
said the health hoard should
make a presentalion on ihe flour
of Town Meeting about the pro-
gram.
In an inien icw after the meet-
ing, health board chairman
Steve Bobo said he is happy to
do more work on the wastewater
management plan
"There are a number of people
who have lots of money sense,
including Rob Spofford." Bobo
said "I'm ama/ed at the ideas
which have been forthcoming."
Bobo hopes to form a new
committee after Town Meeting
to provide policy, technical, and
financial advice on the program.
Second attempt
By the way of background.
Bobo said in 2000. the town
approved a first version of a
Comprehensive On-Site
Wastewater Management Plan,
but no one signed up.
However, with the formation
ol the wastewater committee,
which includes Burn and health
agent Joseph Godzik Sewer
Commission Chairman
Rjvmund Kasperowicz. and
residents John Cavanaro. Joseph
Godzik. Jim Dedes, Jeff Moy.
Ann Swanborg. and Vicky
Neaves. years of reports have
been reviewed to find a way to
manage wastewater more effec-
tively. The committee has been
working with Callahan, a former
selectman and conservation
commissioner, on revamping
the Wastewater Managemenl
Plan
Callahan has said ihe previous
plan — approved by the
Department of Environmental
Protection — did nol attract par-
ticipants because in order to
join, the homeowner would
have had to pass a Title 5
Inspection. If the septic system
failed the inspection, the home-
owner would then be forced to
make the upgrade even if the
current septic s) stem was still in
working order. Title 5 is ihe state
environmental code governing
septic sy stems.
With the new proposal, resi-
dents could join regardless of
ihe Status of their system.

voters at the tomorrow's
(Saturday) Town Meeting and
again at the ballot box. Prop. 2-
1/2 is a state law that caps the
amount a municipality can raise
its lax levy from year to year.
Voters can raise that tax cap
through a majority vote at the
ballot box.
If the override passes, it

Director of Finance Michael

ride passes, the tax levy as a
whole will be 9.7 percent. 2
percent of which comes from
new growth, which is charged
lo new construction. That
means the average taxpayer
w ill see an increase of 7.9 per-
cent on their tax bills.
The override will account for
about 1.8 percent of the total
increase, and would add 19
cents to the tax rate, or roughly
% 1 26 for the owner of a

The average homeowner with

increase, or roughly $126 for
the average homeowner, bring-
ing that homeowner"s total tax
bill up to $7,550. a 7.89 percent
increase from fiscal 2005. For
fiscal 2006. the tax rate will

built-in 2-1/2 percent increase,
which will add $167 to the
average bill, there will be a debt
exclusion tax rate increase of
3.7 percent, or roughly $259 for
the average bill. A Community
Preservation Act surcharge is
added to the total bill, which is
equal to 1.5 percent.
It has been said this year's
override would be the eighth in
eight years. However, there has
been a mix of both debt exclu-
sion overrides and general oper-
ating budget overrides over the
years, and it is important for
voters to know the difference.
Debt exclusion overrides are
passed by a two-thirds vote at
Town Meeting and a majority
vote at the ballot box. Debt
exclusions are uses solely to
cover special projects, such as
sewer construction and school
renovations., and their taxes go
away when the debt is paid off.
Cohasset passed debt exclu-
sions in May 1997. December
1998. and April 1999 specifi-
cally for sewer construction,
totaling $24,363,600. In
December 1999 and April
2000. debt exclusions were also
passed for the school renova-
tions for a total of $42,440,000.
Operating budget overrides
permanently increase taxes, and
since 1997. the town has passed
four. In May of 1999, an oper-
ating budget override of
$380,000 was passed. That
year, voters had an option of
three different overrides to vote
on and both the $612,895 and
$509,554 figures failed. Last
spring, the town passed a
$400,000 override which subsi-
dized the school budget.
The override being proposed
this year is a general override
for the operating budget.
Town Meeting gets underway Saturday
FROM TOWN MEETING, PAGE 1
Commissioner John McNabb
is concerned his department's
article (number 18) to increase
water rates could be too far
back on the agenda, where
maintaining a quorum becomes
more of a challenge. If a quo-
rum is not present and a vote
cannot be taken, it could affect
the department's being able to
operate moving forward.
Sullivan said he would meet
with the Marlette to discuss the
problem, and said Town
Meeting will likely be given
the option to vote on whether it
approves moving the water-
rate article.

Selectmen are backing ihe
school committee's decision to
reduce its fiscal 2006 budget
request by $240,000, leaving
Town Meeting to decide
whether it can handle a
$400,000 override two years in
a row.
However, there will be two
tiers of approval necessary for
the override to move forward:
an affirmative Town Meeting
vote, followed by a ballot vote,
to be conducted during a spe-
; cial election.
School Committee Chairman
Rick Shea said the committee
! feels there will be more com-
! munity support for a lower
; number.
' The school committee will
take out $195,000. which it
I hopes it will not be required to
; pay for two special education
; cases currently in litigation.
• Shea said $185,000 would pay
one-time tuition costs for a stu-
dent that will soon turn 22
years old, and therefore will
not be the responsibility of the
school district in 2006. There
is also a guardianship issue, as
a local attorney has been
awarded legal responsibility
for the student, which requires
the district to pay for that stu-
dent's education even though
the student has never lived in
Cohasset. Shea said he has
been in touch with state Rep.
Garrett Bradley about the mat-
ter, and he is optimistic a solu-
tion can be found with the
Department of Education.
A second $ 10.000 case is also
in litigation, and the schools
have been splitting the cost of
that student with the
Department of Mental Health,
even though that student does
not live in town.
Shea said he was told by the
school department's attorney,
•"There is a reasonable chance
the town will win." However,
there is always the chance it
will not. which is why he said
the option of cutting the
$195,000 is "not without risk."
If the town loses and is
required to pay for the two stu-
dents, the money would likely
come out of Ihe stabilization
fund as a one-time cost.
But cutting $195,000 only
brings down the override
request to $445,000. meaning
the school department needs to
cut an additional $45,000 from
its budget. The school com-
mittee was not sure where
those cuts would come from at
the lime the Mariner went to
press. However, there could be
some more shifting in the bud-
get even before the $45,000 is
made up. Joe McDonald. Supt.
Denise Walsh's interim finan-
cial consultant, said the current
amount budgeted for salaries is
too low and won't cover the
cost.
If the override passes. Ihe
School Committee will receive
the entire $400,000 sum. but if
it doesn't pass. Shea said it will
be up to the town to decide
how the reductions are dealt
with and where the cuts are
going to come from.
"If it decides they are all
going to come out of the school
budget, it's clear where the
money will come from." he
said. Shea said the cost to run
the facilities must be paid for.
the schools cannot turn off the
lights or heat and they cannot
stop maintaining the buildings.
Schools also have an obliga-
tion to transport students to
and from school, and special
education costs are mandated,
which only leaves salaries.
The school committee met
with the advisory committee
and board of selectmen
Monday. March 28 during a
budget summit, and discussed
the possibility of bringing
down the override request
After the meeting adjourned.
Ihe school committee met in a
separate session and voted on
its final budget figure. Shea
presented thai number to the

Chairman Donna McCiee said
her committee would like to
understand what the implica-

FROM OVERRIDE. PAGE 1
voters at the tomorrow's
(Saturday) Town Meeting and
again at the ballot box. Prop. 2-
1/2 is a state law that caps the
amount a municipality can raise
its lax levy from year to year.
Voters can raise that tax cap
through a majority vole at the
ballot box.
If the override passes, it
would be the fifth operating
budget override approved since
1999 and the 12th since 1988,
Director of Finance Michael
Buckley explained if the over-
ride passes, the tax levy as a
whole will be 9.7 percent. 2
percent of which comes from
new growth, which is charged
to new construction. That
means the average taxpayer
will see an increase of 7.9 per-
cent on their tax bills.
The override will account for
about 1.8 percent of the total
increase, and would add 19
cents to the tax rate, or roughly
SI 26 for the owner of a
$670,000 home — the average
home value in Cohasset.
The average homeowner with
,i £670,000 home will pay
$6,998 in taxes for fiscal 2005.
based on a lax rate of $10.44
per $1,000. If the $400,000
override passes, it will be an
additional 1.81 percent
increase, or roughly $126 for
the average homeowner, bring-
ing that homeowner's total tax
bill up to $7,550. a 7.89 percent
increase from fiscal 2005. For
fiscal 2006. the tax rate will
increase to $11.27 per SI. 000.

ride.

built-in 2-1/2 percent increase,
which will add $167 to the
average bill, there will be a debt
exclusion tax rale increase of
3.7 percent, or roughly $259 for
the average bill. A Community
Preservation Act surcharge is
added to the total bill, which is
equal to 1 .5 percent.
It has been said this year's
override would be the eighth in
eight years. However, there has
been a mix of both debt exclu-
sion overrides and general oper-
ating budget overrides over the
years, and it is important for
voters to know the difference.
Debl exclusion overrides are
passed by a two-thirds vote at
Town Meeting and a majority
vote at the ballot box. Debl
exclusions are uses solely to
cover special projects, such as
sewer construction and school
renovations., and their taxes go
away when the debl is paid off.
Cohasset passed debt exclu-
sions in May 1997. December
1998. and April 1999 specifi-
cally for sewer construction,
totaling $24,363,600. In
December 1999 and April
2000. debt exclusions were also
passed for the school renova-
tions for a total of $42,440,000.
Operating budget overrides
permanently increase taxes, and
since 1997. the town has passed
four. In May of 1999, an oper-
ating budget override of
$380,000 was passed. That
year, voters had an option of
three different overrides to vole
on and both the $612,895 and
$509,554 figures failed. Last
spring, the town passed a
$400,000 override which subsi-
dized the school budget.
The override being proposed
this year is a general override
for the operating budget.
Town Meeting gets underway Saturday
FROM TOWN MEETING. PAGE 1
Commissioner John McNabb
is concerned his department's
article (number 18) to increase
water rates could be too far
back on the agenda, where
maintaining a quorum becomes
more of a challenge. If a quo-
rum is not present and a vote
cannot be taken, il could affect
the department's being able to
operate moving forward.
Sullivan said he would meet
with the Marlette to discuss the
problem, and said Town
Meeting will likely be given
the option to vole on whether it
approves moving the water-
rate article.

Selectmen are backing the
school committee's decision to
reduce its fiscal 2006 budget
request by $240,000, leaving
Town Meeting to decide
whether it can handle a
$400,000 override two years in
: a row.
\ However, there will be two
I tiers of approval necessary for
the override to move forward:
•i • an affirmative Town Meeting
, ! vote, followed by a ballot vote,
to be conducted during a spe-
cial election.
School Committee Chairman
Rick Shea said the committee
i feels there will be more com-
! munity support for a lower
i number.
The school committee will
• take out $195,000. which it
| hopes it will not be required to
pay for two special education
; cases currently in litigation.
Shea said $185,000 would pay
one-time tuition costs for a stu-
i dent that will soon turn 22
years old. and therefore will
not be the responsibility of the
school district in 20(16. There
is also a guardianship issue, as
a local attorney has been
awarded legal responsibilits
for the student, which requires
the district to pay for that stu-
dent's education even though
the student has never lived in
Cohasset. Shea said he has
been in touch with state Rep.
Garrett Bradley about the mat-
ter, and he is optimistic a solu-
tion can be found with the
Department of Education.
A second $ 1 0,000 case is also
in litigation, and the schools
have been splitting the cost of
that student with the
Department of Mental Health,
even though that student does
not live in town.
Shea said he was told by the
school department's attorney.
"There is a reasonable chance
the town will win." However,
there is always the chance it
will not, which is why he said
the option of cutting the
$195,000 is "not without risk."
If the town loses and is
required to pay for the two stu-
dents, the money would likely
come out of the stabilization
fund as a one-time cost.
But cutting $195,000 only
brings down the override
request to $445,000, meaning
the school department needs to
cut an additional $45.(XK) from
its budget. The school com-
mittee was not sure where
those cuts would come from at
the time the Mariner went to
press. However, there could be
some more shifting in the bud-
get even before the $45,000 is
made up. Joe McDonald. Supt.
Denise Walsh's interim finan-
cial consultant, said the current
amount budgeted for salaries is
loo low and won't cover the
cost.
If the override passes, the
School Committee will receive
the entire $400,000 sum. but if
it doesn't pass. Shea said it will
be up to the town to decide
how the reductions are dealt
with and where the cuts are
going to come from.
"If it decides they are all
going to come out of the school
budget, it's clear where the
money will come from," he
said. Shea said the cost to run
the facilities must be paid for,
the schools cannot turn off the
lights or heat and they cannot
slop maintaining the buildings.
Schools also have an obliga-
tion to transport students to
and from school, and special
education costs are mandated,
which only leaves salaries.
The school committee met
with the advisory committee
and board of selectmen
Monday. March 28 during a
budget summit, and discussed
the possibility of bringing
down the override request.
After the meeting adjourned,
the school committee met in a
separate session and voted on
its final budget figure. Shea
presented thai number to the
board of selectmen Tuesday.
March 29. and the board voted
in support .
However, during the hudget
summit. Advisory Committee
Chairman Donna McCiec said
her committee would like to
understand what the Implica-
tion of further reductions to the
school deparimeni budget
would look like. She said she
would like lo see w hat the bud-
gel would look like with a
$200.(HX) override request, or
whal il would look like if an
override doesn't pass and it is
required lo make up the entire
amount.
To date, the school depart-
ment has whittled down its
proposed fiscal 2006 budget
by:
• culling $40,000 in mainte-
nance — to be covered on the
tow n's side of the budget
• culling S40.000 in supplies

• culling three instructional

If the override passes at

between Robert, a single man
who is celebrating his 35th
birthday, and the five married
couples who are his best

breaking in its time for not only
its blend of musical and roman-
tic comedy settings but also its
use of ensemble cast interplay
as well as a script of short,
chronologically interchange-
able scenes

marriage, commitment, friend-
ship and love are touched upon
by the cast of quirky characters

socialite character who believes
she is very worldly w ise in mat-
ters of love and commitment.

the outside, but then shows that
she's not quite as hard and
lough from a more close-up
view," deLima said.
The daughter of English mis-
sionaries. deLima. 57. was bom
Sarah Boulton in India. She
grew up in England and is a

■ Preserve Cohasset s Character
By character of Cohasset'. I mean its natural
and man-made environments, its size, and
its people
■ Affordable Housing for Residents
We need affordable ownership housing. I want
our teachers, fishermen, and municipal
employees to be able to own homes in town.
■ Sewering for Existing Residents
Sewering should be prioritized based on the
town's environmental needs, not on which
developer gets in line first or threatens the
biggest law suit.
■ Implement Cohasset s New
Master Plan
Our Master Plan Committee put together a
plan reflecting what we the townspeople really
want. Now. let's implement it.

u Two advisors
question priorities
By Samantha Brown
SAMBROWWCNC COM
While School Committee
Chairman Rick Shea the (own
would be more likely to pass a
$400,000 override than a
$640.(XX) override, advisory
committee member Pat Waters
said he was not sure bringing
down the override figure is a true
reflection of what the town
wants. "What are our priorities '"
he asked. "Are the schools the
last $12 million or the first'.'"
Waters added the town always
says education is a top priority,
but every year, it is the schools
that face the last-minute crunch
in the budget. "You don't fund
everything else and not pay lor
your priority." he said.
Waters raised the issue during a
three-way budget summit
Monday with selectmen, the
school committee and advisory
committee.
Advisory committee member
James Gilman agreed with
Waters that schools seem to be
the only town department under
the knife.
"We haven't talked once about
laying oft" anyone but teachers."
Gilman said.
But Town Manager Bill Griffin
explained the "town side" has
already been cut and its budget
has been presented as a balanced
document
"Maybe in the future, we won't
do it that way." he said. Griffin
added, cuts were made "without
any fanfare." and the school and
town budgets are being com-
pared as if those tow n cuts never
happened.
There have been roughly
$680,000 in departmental cuts
from the town's proposed bud-
get:
• $8.(XX) from the Selectmen's
office
• $1,000 in Town Manager
clerical reductions
• $1 .300 in Director of Finance-
supplies
• $6.(XX) from the Board of
Assessors office
• $2,300 lor
Treasurer/Collector supplies
• $30,000 from the legal budget
• $ I X.(XX) from the Tow n Clerk
• $30,(KM) from the Town
Planner allocation
• Sl7.(K>o ftom water purchase
• $135,000 front the police
department (one officer, one sea-
sonal officer, dog officer hours,
training, capital)
• $19 1. (XXI from the tire
department (one paramedic, cap-
ital, and water purchase)
• $2,300 from (he harbormaster
• $4H.6(X) from (he DPW (one
laborer, highway ma(erials)
• $8,700 from (he Board of
Health (agent, nurse hours, sup-
plies)
• SI2.(XX) from the Elder
Affairs office
• $575 from the veterans hud-
get
• $33,000 from the town library
• $3,400 from pension assess-
ments
• $15,000 from worker's com-
pensation

there isn't much that can keep
people away from this annual tra-
dition.
"Bad weather doesn"t really
bother many runners." he said.
In fact, he said at the beginning
of this week. 500 runners had
already pre-registered to be in the
Road Race. 30 of which signed
up in one day. "Last year we had
870 total," he said, adding many
runners come out at the last
minute, crossing their fingers
Mother Nature will cooperate.
Fran Coffey Memorial
Walk at a glance
Date: Sunday. April 3
Time: 10 am. (Remember
Daylight Savings time)
Where: Sandy Beach
Distance: 5K(3.I miles)
Route: From Sandy Beach
down Atlantic Avenue to
Jerusalem Road, to North
Main Street, to Ripley Road,
to Depot Court, to South Main
Street, to Elm Street, onto
Margin Street, back onto
Atlantic Avenue, and the walk
will end at Sandy Beach.
Although many runners come
from Cohasset. Goodwin said he
has quite a mix of participants in
terms of location. He said there-
are many runners who have
signed up from neighboring
towns such as Scituate and
Marshlield. hut he also has run-
ners representing every suite in
New England. Last year he said
he even had some participants
travel all the way from
California.
They do come from all over,"
he said, adding some use the race
to train for bigger marathons.
While the Road Race is a large
part of the day. this year the
Rotary Club has renamed the fun
walk to honor longtime Rotary
race and walk supporter, Fran
Coffey. "Actually, he was more
than 'just' a volunteer, Franny
was one of the original support-
ers of the race," said Goodwin.
Goodwin said Coffey was
instrumental with organizing the
walk and race year after year, and
after he passed away last spring,
the Cohasset Rotary Club decid-
ed due to all his help and dedica-
tion, and in light of the fact that
in his personal life, he embodied
the Rotary motto of "service
above self." the walk should
serve as a memorial in his honor.
The Rotary Club will donate the
proceeds from the walk to two
causes very dear to die Coffey
family, "People in Need" at St.
Patrick's in Roxbury, and the
Bishop Ruocco House for Girls
in Lakeville.
There's going to be a whole
different feel." said Goodwin of
the walk this year, adding
because it is being held in
Coffey's honor, it has taken on a
special purpose and he has seen a
great response. "1 hope it will
continue to grow and be as suc-
cessful as the race." he said.
Goodwin expects there could
be between 200 and 400 walkers
in attendance Sunday.
Year after year there are a num-
ber of people who come out to
volunteer during the events as
well, and Goodwin said the day
wouldn't be possible without
their help. He said from local
businesses who donate various
food and drink items to those
volunteers who come out to help
direct traffic or just cheer the run-
ner on. every bit of support is

appreciated. "But we could
always use more." he quipped.
Each year. Goodwin's brother
Ronnie, owner of Goodwin
Graphics in Cohasset. has printed
up the Road Race t-shirts for par-
ticipants, and although Brad said
the design is beautiful every year,
this year he said he is especially
happy with die way the shirts
turned out. He said they are
long-sleeved with a picture of
Minot's Light on the front, and
the first 800 participants to regis-
ter are guaranteed to receive one.
Proceeds from this year's Road
Race will be used to sponsor a
number of different programs the
Rotary Club sponsors, including
the Appalachia Service Project,
the Cohasset Recreation
Department, the Cohasset Elder
Affairs, the American Cancer
Society, the Board of Health

TO STOP POLLUTION AND HELP SOLVE
COHASSET'S WASTEWATER DILEMMA, PLEASE COME
TO TOWN MEETING ON SATURDAY, APRIL 2, AND
VOTE YES' ON FOUR SEWER COMMISSION ARTICLES!
What are the articles about?
1. Creating wastewater solutions for the whole town and public financing options for septic systems AND sewers. (1 article)
2. Replacing non-Title V compliant and failing septic systems near Little Harbor and the Atlantic Avenue and Jerusalem Road
coastline with a sewer, an effective and permanent solution. These 2 articles assume all costs are paid by users.
3. Authorizing a betterment/taxes cost split similar to the ones voted for the North and Central Cohasset sewers. This separate
article would allow half the cost of the sewer mains in the street and the treatment plant upgrade to be paid for by Town taxes.
Why should you support the Sewer Commission in passing these articles?
• TO STOP POLLUTION: It will stop the flow of septic system effluent containing fecal coliform and other harmful bacteria into
our waterways.
• TO SETTLE THE STATE'S LAWSUIT: It will allow Cohasset to settle its outstanding legal judgment with the State and avoid
fines and sanctions.
• TO FACILITATE FUNDING: It will put Cohasset higher on the priority list for low interest State loans, perhaps reducing the cost
of sewer projects and certainly reducing the cost to homeowners.
• TO SECURE AMNESTY: It will pave the way for Title V septic system amnesty for residents who sell homes with non-compliant
systems in areas scheduled for sewers, as long as they are not a public health risk.
EVERY VOTER FROM EVERY HOUSEHOLD WILL BE NEEDED!

Opinion
; Town Meeting
time
Wo re going to see a lot of familiar faces Saturday You know
who you are: you're ihe Town Meeting groupies.
You've been bitten b) the hny. have discovered the secret,
andforjus want to see old friends.
To put ii simply, Town Meeting is interesting, entertaining and
ev en fun. The only bad pan are those hard chairs and bleachers,
bin thai matter can be resolved by bringing a cushion along.
At the risk of being run out of town due to our wet weaiher of
late, we're actually hoping lor showers tomorrow. We're hoping
it the skies are gray and it's rainy outside, more Cohassel citi-
zens mighi " come on down" to the Sullivan Gymnasium.
We don't think there's any chance Town Meeting will have
"quorum troubles" in tact, we'd bet from 300 to 400 people will
be in attendance.
It would be Wonderful to double that number! Why ? Because
Town Meeting is where the action is. It's the town's "legislative
body" that spends money and changes bylaws - both of which
can affect your quality of life.
One of the best things about "open" Town .Meeting, which
t'ohasset has. is thai anyone can air their v iews and everyone
can vole. Some towns, mostly larger ones, have representative
Town Meetings where elected representatives cast the votes.
Another aspect ol Town Meeting, which we really appreciate,
is that complex issues arc usually explained in a clear manner.
Anyone who has been in C ohassel more than five minutes
know s "complexities" are almost as common as " controversies'*
in this small seaside town
As reporters we cover the issues week in and week out. but at
Town Meeting there is often another aspect presented that we
hadn't heard before which further illuminates a project or
expenditure.
We sincerely hope to see more younger people at Town
Meeting which is often populated by the "gray guards" - those
older folks, members of the Greatest Generation, w ho are stand-
ing guard lor our democracy to ensure that this venerable form
of government continues to thrive.
These grandparents and great-grandparents know the value of
a dollar and we hav e always found their contribution to Tow n
Meeting to be a critical pan of the governing pnicess.
While we enjoy a healthy debate, we urge everyone to prac-
tice civility. We're one town with a lot of divergent views about
every thing from overrides in sewer capacity. It's important to
remember however, while you may not agree with their deci-
sions, those who sit on our boards and committees arc our
neighbors and fellow taxpayers.
The best way to handle an issue you feel passionately about is
to speak up. make your case, and cast your vote. And the best
way to make a difference is to get involved. There's a "Town
Government Resource Bank" application on page 45 of the
. warrant. Please take a moment to fill it out and offer your time
and talent to one of the appointed committees in town.
Cohassel cannot continue to thrive without creative, new ideas
and boundless energy. The town needs you. and the best way to
get fired up about local government is to go to Town Meeting.
You won't regret it.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
No search for CMHS
principal needed
TO THH EDITOR!
Parents, students, alumni, friends:
I recently was informed that Jack
DeLorenzo. who wishes to continue as our
Middle/High School Principal is only being
considered for the position if the
Superintendent's search doesn't find anyone
else she would like at this time. Why are we
searching in the first place?
Jack has been a dedicated administrator in
our schools for 19 years. During that time he
has touched so many of our children and is
respected by all of them. He has always
been there for them. A strong disciplinarian,
but fair, consistent, and always has the best
interest of our children in mind.
We all appreciate the fact that no matter
what the activity, a sporting event, drama,
music, town activities, he is there to support
our children.
We recently completed a major construc-
tion project, who worked on behalf of the
school and students and staff to ensure that
their needs came first. Jack DeLorenzo.
His wife has told me so many times that
on weekends he has received calls from par-
ents on behalf of their children and students
who have forgotten something at school and
Jack has always responded with I'll meet
you there in live minutes. She also tells me
how many times he has been called at all
hours of the day and night from the police
and others that there is a problem at school,
he is dressed and out the door without ques-
tion.
In speaking to a staff member recently, she
had nothing but positive comments about
the great way that Jack is handling his duties
as principal this year. They want him to stay.
Jack, thank you for being there for three of
my four children who attended Cohasset
Middle/High School while you have been
there, and now my grandchildren.
To our Community I ask. is this the way
we are going to thank him. by letting walk
out the door when he doesn't want to? I
believe it is time for us to be there for him.
Please attend Ihe School Committee
Meeting at 7 p.m., April 7 in the
Superintendent's suite next to Alumni Field.
Please be there or contact one of our
School Committee Members: Rick Shea.

MacCarthy.

Merit pay would
help good teachers
To the Editor:
I read with interest the letter of Barbara
Buckley, wife of teacher Jack Buckley. By
all accounts. Jack is one of the most com-
mitted teachers in our School District. He is
also fairly senior. To my way of thinking.
Jack would be an ideal candidate to benefit
from a merit pay system. Based on the 2(X)4
Annual Report, four teachers/administrators
earned between $90,000 and S104,000(the
two superintendents earned S 154.974 with
some vacation time accrual). Four teachers
earned between S80.000 and $90,000.
Twenty-three teachers earned between
$70,000 and $80,000. Twenty-nine teachers
earned between $60.fKX) and $70.(XX). Or. a
total of 61 administrators/teachers earned
greater than $60,000. Forty-three of those
teachers earned more than Jack Buckley.
Under a merit pay system. I suspect that
Jack should be one of the highest paid
teachers in the Cohasset School District.
Contract negotiations should not try to
"zero-out" our teacher's pay increases for
any of the next three fiscal years. Our teach-
ers have to survive the ravages of inflation
like everyone else. That means that a
$600,000 override is probably insufficient
because it assumes no cost of living
increase.
I realize that instituting a merit pay system
will have to be done over a period of years:
perhaps 10. The key to its success is a fair
performance evaluation system. A merit pay
system should be regarded '"cost neutral;"
that is to say that only the very best teachers
would get above average increases and only
the small percentage of poor teachers would
get a smaller increase that the contractual
average.
Once implemented, the Jack Buckleys of
the world will be paid better and the small
percentage of poor teachers will be incen-
tivized to improve their performance or find
another profession. A great teacher is of
inestimable value and a poor teacher can
ruin a child's learning potential.

Heartfelt thanks
To the Editor:
On behalf of my family and me, I want to
thank you, the Cohasset Community for the
love and support provided to us on Saturday
at our service for Shelly as well as the days
that have followed.
We love her so much and the pain we are
feeling has been lessened by the support that
so many of you have bestowed on us.
Margaux. Chris (and Shelly 's sisters Cindy
and Kathy). have begun our journey into
new waters buoyed by your kindness. My
heartfelt thanks.

Cook Estate revisited
to the Editor:
In her Commentary article about the
Cook estate published March 25. Karen
Quigley asserts that seniors are leaving
their homes because of Cohassel taxes.
Only partly true; many seniors every year
are moving to senior housing because they
no longer need a large house and don'f
want the work and expense of maintaining
house and grounds. Maybe some would
stay in their homes a little longer if taxes
were less burdensome, but it's unwilling-
ness Id continue coping with the burden of
maintaining the house that is the prime rea-
son dial eventually causes almost everyone
in sell,
There may be a few, a very few, who
would sell only if they could find senior
housing in Cohasset. but would remain for
life if selling meant having to relocate to
senior housing in some other town. But to
most people, the major factor in deciding
between selling or staying put is their
desire to escape the burdens of maintaining
the house. Whether there is senior housing
available (or nol) in Cohasset has little
effect on the number of residents who
choose to sell, and has little effect on their
timing of selling.
Hence it is nonsense to suggest that pro-
viding senior housing in Cohasset increas-
es the number of school children, on the
grounds that having senior housing avail-
able in Cohasset encourages seniors to sell
out to younger couples with children
Seniors are selling when ready to do so.
whether or not there is senior housing
available in Cohassel
Therefore, locating senior housing in
Cohasset does not increase the burden on
the schools. On the contrary, it helps pay
for the schools because it increases the tax
revenues without commensurate increased
cost of services provided by the town.
Letting our departing seniors find housing
elsewhere deprives us of that financial
advantage.
There are many other specious argu-
ments against the Cook estate besides
those that are really arguments against
locating any senior housing in Cohasset. In
fact the plan was a masterful compromise
between many competing considerations,
undone by the bad luck of finding that in-
depth initial analysis of soil permeability
did not confirm the preliminary findings.
There was some validity to a few of Ihe
criticisms, but it was ihe economically fea-
sible way to acquire senior housing on the
Cook estate, rather than let it slip away for
development of more "McMansions."
Downsizing is smoking opium; it is unreal-
istic to expect the Cook trustees to subsi-
dize it by selling this valuable real estate
below market value, it is unrealistic to
expect subsidy from lax revenue or dona-
tions from the public or from local organi-
zations.
Well, focusing gleefully on the bad luck
(or misjudgment) about permeability, and
on the project's perceived deficiencies,
instead of understanding its virtues and
working constructively to preserve it,
probably has doomed the hope of influenc-
ing the usage of this real estate to the
town's advantage. That may be OK with
those who don't favor senior housing in
Cohassel. Those who do had better start
seeking some other site in Cohasset.

Cohasset traffic and parking changes . . .
MAKING TRACKS
Tom Gruber and Mark Brennan
In the interest of safety, the Selectmen and the
MBTA determined that it was desirable to minimize
the number of streets that cross the tracks of the
Greenbush Commuter Rail System. In Cohasset.
three crossings will be eliminated. One is at Lincoln
Lane, a private lane near the Scituate line, serving
one house. Alternate access will be provided for that
house. The second is on the branch of Spring Street
opposite the Historical Society's Pratt Building.
The last crossing is Smith Place, near the Post
Office. After the railroad is restored. Smith Place
will be closed just behind the Carousel antique shop.
No longer will this be a short cut into the neighbor-
hood to the southwest of the tracks. The only access
will be down Pleasant Street to Cashing Road. We
do not have final drawings yet from the MBTA for
the area around Smith Place. As soon as we get them
we will notify the abutters for their comments. We
expect to see them in the next month or two.
Historically, the parking area behind the old ABB
Optical building has been used as overflow parking
for the various businesses around the Post Office,
including the Post Office itself. The ABB Optical
building has been purchased by other interests and is
being utilized as a retail facility. The new owners
have asked that only businesses and shopkeepers

located in the I Pleasant Street building (now called
James Brook Crossing) as well as their customers
use the parking spaces on their property. So, this
property is no longer available to the general public
for parking. Reconfiguration of the Town Parking
Lot will accommodate some of these lost spaces.
There is a new temporary gravel parking lot that has
been constructed across from the old Parfait build-
ing on Pleasant Street, near James Lane. This new
parking lot will be enlarged and paved by the
MBTA. It's parking spaces will add to those avail-
able in the main part of the Town Parking Lot.
You may have heard about quad gates . . .
The railroad crossing at Pleasant Street near the
Town Parking Lot will be the only crossing
designed with "quad gates." Quad gates are a bit
more complex for the MBTA to install and maintain,
but eliminate the medians dividing the road that will
be used at every other crossing in Cohasset. The
medians are about 4 feet wide and have 6 in. to 9 in.
high granite curbs to separate the opposing lanes of
HEALTH NOTES
traffic Their purpose is to keep vehicles in a lane so
they cannot turn and zigzag through the gates when
the gates are in the down position. With quad gates
there will be a total of four gates, two gates on either
side of the crossing, blocking both the entering and
exiting traffic lanes. Thus, it will be impossible for
vehicles to zigzag into the opposite traffic lanes,
since those lanes will be blocked as well. The main
reason for using quad gates at the Pleasant street
crossing is to narrow the width of the road by four
feet through elimination the medians. Without quad
gates, Pleasant Street would be four feet wider in an
already tight space.
You might ask why the MBTA is going to so much
trouble to control vehicle traffic at the rail crossings.
To answer this question, you must keep in mind that
this branch of the Old Colony Commuter Rail
System is very unique. Unlike all other commuter
rail lines in Massachusetts, on the Greenbush line,
horns will not be routinely sounded by the locomo-
tives at each street crossing. This is why by design,
the crossings are being made more "fool proof."
But. all crossings will still have flashing lights and
warning bells that will sound to warn people close to
the crossings.

Taking steps to prevent rabies
By Steve Bobo
SPECIAL TO THE MARINER
Since 1992. when raccoon strain rabies first
entered Massachusetts, extensive resources
have been directed towards controlling this dis-
ease. Several different state agencies assist
local authorities in rabies mitigation. MDPH
provides guidance on the evaluation and man-
agement of human exposures to known or sus-
pect rabid animals, but the decision to receive
post-exposure prophylaxis is made by the
affected individual together with his or her
healthcare provider. The Stale Laboratory
Institute (SLI) at MDPH tests animals for
rabies. The Massachusetts Department of
Agricultural Resources, Division of Animal
Health. Biosecurity and Dairy Services (DAH)
provides guidance on rabies in domestic ani-
mals and makes decisions about the quarantine
of domestic animals. The Massachusetts
Department of Fisheries, Wildlife, and
Environmental Law Enforcement, Division of
Fisheries and Wildlife provides guidance on
the control of wildlife, including those species
that commonly carry rabies.
All of these resources are available to Al
Currie, our Animal Control officer. Al divides
his time between Cohasset and Hingham; from
8 to 10 a.m. for Cohasset. and the rest of the
time for Hingham. To report a wild or stray ani-
mal in your neighborhood, call Animal Control
at 781 383-1055 Al is quite competent, reli-

able, helpful and informed. The best way to
reach him is to leave off a note at the police sta-
tion. Otherwise, there is a rather lengthy voice
message procedure which will permit leaving a
number.
Rabies is a serious threat to people, since con-
tact with a rabid animal can result in transmis-
sion of the disease. A common means of trans-
mission is for a household pet to contract the
disease through contact with a rabid wild ani-
mal and then transmit (he illness to the family.
Such cases, although not frequent, result in the
need for post exposure prophylaxis of house-
hold members; ten days of observation, and
long periods of quarantine for the pel.
According to Al Currie, it's necessary to con-
tinue to keep children informed about avoiding
not only wild and undomesticated animals, but
also pets of neighbors, etc. with which the chil-
dren have little familiarity. Such animals may
bite or otherwise injure children, and require
medication not only for the injury, but rabies
testing for the animal as well as those associat-
ed with it.
Here are some rules you and your family
should use to avoid contracting rabies:
1. Have your pets vaccinated against rabies. A
rabies vaccination shot will help protect your
dog, cat or ferret from rabies. Make sure your
pets stay up to date on their vaccination shots.
2. Do not go near wild animals. Raccoons,
skunks, foxes, bats and other wild animals may
be infected with rabies and should not be
touched; also, domesticated pets with which
you may not be familiar.
3. Stay away from stray animals. Cats and
dogs that roam outdoors are more likely to be
infected with rabies and may bite you. Do not
try to feed or pet them.
4. Make sure that your home and yard do not
attract wild animals. Keep garbage cans tightly
covered. Do not leave pet food outdoors. Cap
chimneys and seal places where animals can
get in and hide.
5. If you are scratched or bitten by an ani-
mal...
• Wash your wound with lots of soap and
water.
• TELL AN ADULT and have them call the
doctor right away.

Board of Health.
Yes vote on sewer articles is urged
COMMENTARY
Richard Brooks
In December. Town Meeting voted overwhelm-
ingly for the Selectmen and the Sewer
Commission to bring the Warrant Articles for the
sewering of Little Harbor/Atlantic Avenue to the
upcoming April 2 Town Meeting. The Sewer
Commission, responsive to the voters, has done
just that with four Articles that cover the priority
areas to be sewered and a funding choice for the
voters. The first of the four Articles is to authorize
some modest funds to evaluate other areas of the
Town for possible sewering.
To finish this 25-year saga and end the pollution
of our coastal neighborhoods and waters, to avoid
substantial fines and other sanctions that could be
levied this year if the Town does not commit to
comply with the Superior Court Judgement, to

make firm that our very limited sewer expansion
treatment capacity is locked in for eliminating
existing problems in our existing neighborhoods
first and not diverted to private developers, please
attend Town Meeting Saturday and vote "YES"
on Articles 1 1 , 1 2 and 1 3 and vote your choice on
funding structure via Article 14.
I am pleased to report Selectmen have reviewed
and evaluated Sewer Commission Articles and
voted to recommended all four favorably to the
voters at Town Meeting.
In way of information, the timetable, as it has
been since the Town's early 2004 schedule, is for
the expanded sewer system to be operational by
mid to late 2009. Money will not be spent on con-
struction until mid-2007, thus the impact on Town
taxes will be quite small, if any, till fiscal 2008.
Even then, regardless of how the voters vote to
structure the funding, the impact on taxes could
range from close to nothing to quite modest as the
recipients of the sewer service will be covering
the major portion of the costs via betterments,
which will be spread over 20 or more years.
The benefits achieved are a certain end to the
coastal pollution for all citizens of Cohasset,
amnesty from Title 5 for the homes scheduled to
receive the sewer service, even if the home is
sold, and a substantial increase in home value due
to being connected to municipal sewer. As most
know, the cost currently to replace a failed or
obsolete septic system can range from $35,000 to
$90,000.

Demolition delay and large home
review are back again this year
Zoning changes
are on the table
By Samantha Brown
SAMBROWN@CNC.COM
• Article seVtn will be the first
in a string of zoning articles, and
will reintroduce the town to the
Demolition Deb) Bylaw. The
Demolition Delay bylaw was
withdrawn at last year's Annual
Town Meeting, but has under-
gone some changes and is hack
tor another round. It approved,
the bylaw would delay, but not
prohibit, the tear down of histor-
ical^ significant buildings,
allowing some time to consider
whether the building can he
restored and what, it an\. alterna-
tives to demolition are available.
If alter the six months has
expired the ow net of the building
chooses to tear it down, there are
no regulations which prevent
that from happening.
The h\ law would apply specif-
ically to all buildings which are
listedon the National Register of
Historic places. the
Massachusetts Slate Register of
Historic Places, and "HT" or
town of Cohasset Heritage Trail
houses, as well as buildings 100
years or older that have either
architectural, cultural, economic,
political, or historical signifi-
cance. The bylaw has been
changed from encompassing
buildings 50 years or older to
buildings 100 years or older
from last year's version.
In addition, this year's article
has been presented as a zoning
h\ law rather than a non-/oning
bylaw, which will allow the
Building Inspector to enforce il
by withholding demolition per-
mits. The bylaw only applies
when an owner expresses inter-
est in tearing dow n a structure.
• Article eight is a citizens'
petition which deals with earth
removal, land clearing and
land alteration. It is meant to
help regulate what can be done
during residential land develop-
ment If passed, it would replace
the existing Earth Removal
bylaw with a broader and more
comprehensive protection
against potentially adverse alter-
ations of a lot. In addition to
earth removal criteria, which
currently exists, there would be
regulations put in place to cover
filling, grading, and ledge
removal. The bylaw would only
come into effect during construc-
tion on vacant lots or reconstruc-
tion of existing homes.
• Article nine is a citizens' peti-
tion which would amend the
Large House Site Plan Review
bylaw, passed by voters at last
year's Annual Town Meeting, to
make it a more substantive spe-
cial permit process. The large
house review is triggered when
Construction plans for a home
exceed the greater of 3,500
Square feet or 10 percent of the
lot area up to 6,000 square feet.
As the bylaw is currently writ-
ten, the planning board takes
plans for large homes through a
public discussion and recom-
mendation process, which
allows abutters to voice their
opinion, but the process is nun
binding. The pmponents of this
year's petition believe the origi-
nal draft of the bylaw had more
"teeth." but because that draft
was altered shortly before Town
More budget news, more often
Articles In and 1 7 are both cit-
izens' petitions which ask lor
more detailed financial informa-
tion from both the town and
school department on a regular
basis. Article 16 asks the town
and school department to pro-
vide monthly budget updates,
which proponents hope will
enable the town as a whole to
plan lor the future, enabling it to
detect budgei overruns earlier.
Proponents believe by having
budget information readily avail-
able on an ongoing basis, it will
allow the town the opportunity to
approach problems in a proactive
rather than a reactive manner.
To add to the efforts of article
16. article 17 would ask both the
town and schixil department to
prov ide the tow n w ith up to date
reports on enlerprise and revolv-
ing funds.
TOWN MEETING BRIEFS
Water rate
increase floated
Article 18 is a Water
Department article which will
ask the town to approve
increasing water rates to pro-
vide the S4.000.000 it needs to
make upgrades to the water
system, which will improve the
quality of tap water and allow
the department to fully comply
with TTHM regulations.
TTHMs. also known as Total
Tnhalomethanes are caused by
a chemical reaction when chlo-
rine, added to water as a dis-
infectant, interacts with
organic matter present in
water. Too many TTHMs
can pose a health risk after
longterm exposure. The
Water Department exceeded
the maximum contaminant
level for TTHMs in 2004.
and has been working hard
to keep the levels low.
If approved, the article
would increase water rates
— the first increase since
1997 — and the changes
would take place April 15.
2005. The department esti-
mates the rate increase will
cost the average homeowner
who uses 60.000 gallons (or
less) of water a year roughly
$65 more per year, which
equals about 18 cents per
day.
With the funding the
department would receive
from the water rate increase,
it would continue its mission
of acquiring land around the
watershed. One parcel,
which along with other
parcels was authorized at a
previous Town Meeting,
will be acquired for 50 cents
on the dollar as a result of a
$454,300 state grant. More
information about Water
Department initiatives can
be found on its Web site at
www.cohassetwater.org.
Light shed on
energy committee
Article 20 would create a
nine member Alternative
Energy Committee to inves-
tigate sources of energy that
may be used by the town.
The committee would report
back to the 2006 Annual
Town Meeting. To date, resi-
dents Jim Shipsky of Doane
Street. Benjamin Bixby of
Sohier Street. Andrew Willard
of Stoekbridge Street and
Luciano Lauretti of Jerusalem
Road have expressed interest
in being a part of the commit-
tee alongside John Dunn of
SchOtield Road, who brought
the idea forward to selectmen
with Merle Brown. Brown
said he will not participate in
the committee.
Vernal pool protection
The Conservation
Commission's vernal pool
bylaw is also before Town
Meeting Voters will be asked
to approve an amendment to
the Wetlands Protection Bylaw
which would extend commis-
sion jurisdiction to within 100
feet of a vernal pool, to be con-
sistent with existing commis-
sion regulations. Currently, the
bylaw only gives ihe
Conservation Commission
jurisdiction to w ithin 25 feet.

Bartlett stole more than $200,000

currently a tracking process
underway to find where the
money order went.
In addition, there was some
confusion regarding a check
issued to a town employee for
overtime work during Town
Meeting That issue has since
been resolved and Bartlett was
found not lo be al fault.
Police Chief James Hussey
said had the matters not been

the federal charges Bartlett
stands to face and the likelihood
she will serve time in jail, as well
as the small amount of money
involved, il would not have been

QUESTION OF THE WEEK - SELECTMEN
Does the town need to reestab-
lish the personnel committee
and/or hire a human resources
professional? In other words,
where does a Town Hall employ-
ee go with a problem if she or he
doesn't feel comfortable bringing
the issue up with his or her boss,
the Town Manager?
SELECTMAN/
The Personnel Committee
. was disbanded in 1997 after the
Town Manager Act was adopt-
ed. Since that time the General
By-Laws provide, in Article V,
Section 2. that "The Personnel
Committee shall consist of one
person, the Town Manager."
When a Town Hall employee
has a grievance that cannot be
resolved with his or her depart-
ment head or supervisor, the
. By-Laws direct the employee to
bring the grievance to the
"Personnel Committee" (i.e. the
Town Manager) to "hold a hear-
ing thereon and render a written
decision within ten (10) work-
ing days of such hearing."
(Article XI, Section 8) The
employee may then appeal the
decision of the "Personnel
Committee" (i.e. the Town
Manager) to the Board of
Selectmen.
This current grievance proce-
dure has the potential to be at
least extremely awkward for an
employee whose supervisor la
the Town Manager, or for other
employees who work often with
the Town Manager. In many
cases, the potential awkward-
ness and fear of retaliation
could discourage an employee
from even beginning the griev-
ance process. A valuable
employee might choose to sim-
ply resign under these circum-
stances.
The type of Personnel
Committee Cohasset had in the
past is not necessary. Many of
the tasks formerly handled by
the Personnel Committee are
handled by the Town Manager.
In addition, many of our Town
employees are members of
unions, whose contract griev-
ances were never handled by
the Personnel Committee.
I understand the Town
Manager Act Review
Committee established by the
Selectmen in June 2004 will be
recommending grievance pro-
cedure changes. The Town
might consider hiring a human
resources professional to assist
the Town in developing an
appropriate grievance proce-
dure and to conduct grievance
hearings as needed. I support
the concept of changing the
grievance section of our by-law
so that employees are not dis-
couraged from pursuing legiti-
mate grievances.
SELECTMAN/
In its day. the Personnel
Committee provided a valuable
service to Cohasset, being
involved in salary administration
and human resources. Today,
with a five person board of
selectman, as opposed to the ear-
lier three person board, and with
a full-time Town Manager, I
think a Personnel Committee
would be superfluous and a need-
less complication.
In terms of personnel issues
and problems, with our existing
structure, a town employee has
many more options than does an
employee of a company; so I see
no need lo change anything. For
example, take the case of an
employee in a sole proprietor-
ship, who perceives he or she is
being harassed by the proprietor.
About the only route open to the
employee in this case is to go
outside the firm - for example to
go to the Mass. Commission
Against Discrimination or to a
lawyer.
Contrast that situation to a town
employee's: if the employee feels
he or she is being harassed, there
is a variety of avenues to pursue.
The employee would normally
go to right to the Town Manager.
But if he or she is "uncomfort-
able" (to paraphrase the Mariner)
talking to the Town Manager the
employee can go to any select-
man, or. for that matter, to any
other elected town official. And
of course, the employee has the
same avenues open to him or her
outside the town government
structure as the employee of a
private company would have.
Thus, there is a multiplicity of
available paths open to a town
employee.
For this reason. I would not re-
create the personal committee.
SELECTMAN/Fred Koed
The Personnel Committee for-
merly performed important func-
tion* in town government I
believe we should restore those
functions, along with the
Committee itself.
The Committee assisted the
selectmen by recommending
appropriate salaries for various
positions, by conducting mar-
ket comparisons for various
pay grades, and by helping in
actual contract negotiations
The Committee was comprised
of seven members appointed
by the so-called Troika, the
appointing authority consisting
of the chairs of Selectmen and
the Advisory Committee, jnd
the Town Moderator. It was an
example of the great tradition
in Cohasset of knowledgeable
professionals serving on town
boards in their areas of exper-
tise. Typically, the Committee
.was made up of financial and
human resource administrators
from the private sector.
When I was elected to the
Board of Selectmen in 1999.
the Personnel Committee had
essentially been dismissed pre
viously by the then town man-
ager. The town manager ael
does not specifically abolish
the Committee, however
something that was overlooked
as the first manager look hi-
position in 1997.
The day-to-day nature ol
running the town hall makes il
difficult lor the town managei
lo remove all bias relating 10
subordinates I believe the
manager would be rOOTC effec-
tive if he had the Committee 10
work with We also need to
resinre the personnel decision
appeal function lor town
employees which was lost
when ihe Committee was dis
missed The police discipline
disaster alone proved ilns fact
I do nol believe we should
hire a human resources profes-
sional at Town Hall al preseni
We cannot create new positions
when our budgets are so nghl
I want to work lo not only
reestablish the personnel
Committee, but to seriously
look at further ways in which
we can bring citi/en volunteers
back into appointed positions
in town government.
QUESTION OF THE WEEK - SCHOOL COMMITTEE
Counting Osgood and renova-
tions and additions to Deer Hill
and the middle-high school, the
town has $50 million invested in
new or renovated school build-
ings, yet the perception out there
is the buildings are just for the
kids and are only open during the
school year. Why type of pro-
grams could you propose to
allow senior citizens and others
to benefit from the school facili-
ties?
SCHOOL COMMITTEE
1-YEAR/lee Jenkins
I have long encouraged our
schools to be open for communi-
ty programs. In my years on the
Program Committee at the
Community Center, we offered
courses at the High School. After
the renovations were completed,
the schools were supposed to
open their doors to include a larg-
er use of the facilities.
The students should be allowed
to use the school libraries and
computer labs after school until
at least 6 p.m. so that the town
library computers can be kept
available for use by the commu-
nity.
In the evenings and during the
summer several programs could
be instituted, such as. college
extension programs in languages,
history, philosophy and science.
Those residents interested in art.
photography or shop could use
those classrooms for formal
courses or to pursue those activi-
ties at their own pace.
The health club is available for
public use. and there is already a
senior walking program indoors
during inclement weather. Adult
basketball, volleyball or bad-
minton teams could use also the
gym.
Since the facilities are air con-
ditioned, they would lend a
pleasant reprieve on sultry sum-
mer evenings for small musical
presentations in the lounge out-
side the high school gym.
The Osgood, especially, and
the Deer Hill are geared for chil-
dren but there are possibilities for
the use of the Deer Hill Gym.
Being a more intimate facility
than the High School, it might
avail itself to any number of
exercise programs, performances
or rehearsals.
The auditorium at the high
school should be used for more
community activities. It would
be perfect for a movie/lecture
There are many groups in the
community that have needs that
can be met by the school facili-
ties and the school committee
should encourage innovative
ways to maximize the potential
of our investment.
SCHOOL COMMITTEE
1-YEAR/Pam Wilson
Under the current guidelines,
the Cohasset Public Schools are
accessible to all groups that are
interested in using them if
established procedures are fol-
lowed. This was one of the
many value added benefits to
the community that came from
building our new schools. If
there is a perception that the
schools are not available for use
lo all groups, then as a School
Committee member, my sug-
gestion would be. once again,
that we must better communi-
cate our policies to the commu-
nity.
The Cohasset Public Schools
have a Facilities Use program in
place, which is implemented by
Ihe town of Cohasset. Facilities
Operations. This offers autho-
rization for the use of the facili-
ties of any of its public build-
ings. Any organization, within
the community, or from a sur-
rounding town, may fill out the
authorization form, and request
to use the public school build-
ings after school hours.
Currently, there are a great
number of organizations that are
using the facilities. Teaching
professionals, support groups,
civic, athletic and religious
organizations are all participat-
ing in the use of these new facil-
ities after-school hours and
throughout the summer. The
town has a facilities use lee for
non-residents as well as resi-
dents. This covers the utilities
costs as well as the maintenance
fees.
With expanded communica-
tion, senior citizens, and others
could be taking advantage of
this opportunity, as well. They
can organize bridge classes,
exercise, dancing, educational
programs, speakers, parties, and
other programs that may be of
inieresi to ihem. A communica-
tions bulletin board could be set
up al Ihe Council on Elder
Affairs, as well as at ihe library.
The internet is also a perfect
tool for this communication.
The fact thai confusion sur-
rounds our facilities use pro-
gram, leads me to believe that
we are in need of effective com-
munication in Cohasset.
SCHOOL COMMITTEE
3-YEAR/AKred Slanetz
The IChOOl facilities should be
available for community pro-
grams which are consistent wilh
the school's educational mission
and are economically self suffi-
cient or profitable to Ihe school.
First, evening courses could
be offered wilh ihe facilities
being used as the satellite cam-
pus of major universities. Such a
program would provide courses
in a convenient location for all
of our residents and could be
used to broaden the high
school's offerings of senior year
electives. Because many of our
residents have a wealth of expe-
rience, such classes would cre-
ate an opportunity for iniergen-
erational learning We could use
the existing broadband connec-
tion to broadcast the lecture
from ihe university or we could
teach it locally. In fact, many of
our residents teach such courses
already and would welcome Ihe
opportunity to teach locally
rather than going lo Boston.
Second. Ihe school could be
developed as a center for the arts
and cultural events. By collabo-
rating with museums, theaters,
dance groups, orchestras and
cultural groups, exhibits and
events could be arranged w hich
would both enrich the curricu-
lum in the school and ihe life in
Ihe community Student pro-
duced visual art. pertoimances.
poetry readings and internation-
al festivals could form the core
of such a program Outside
speakers, performances and
events would build on this core.
The entire community could
benefit from such a eentei
While the buildups were
designed as a School, they are
available for community activi-
ties al cost The schools are cur
rently used in the summers and
on the weekends lor sports and
other events and are used in the
evenings for meetings The two
new programs proposed above
could significantly enhance both
the lives of the broader Cohasset
Community and the educational
program of the Cohasset
Schools.

No re-laxing on their laurels
Boys lacrosse want
another deep run
in the touranment
By Mark Goodman
MGO0DMAN9CNC.COM
The Cohasset boys lacrosse
team accomplished a lot more than
many had expected of them last
season.
Last year was thought to be a
rebuilding one. with a new coach
coming in and several key players
from the '03 state semifinalist
team (18-2) having been lost to
graduation.
The "04 edition wound up sur-
prising, however, by going just as
tar as their predecessors. After a 9-
7 regular season, the boys won
two tournament games in convinc-
ing style before being ousted in the
semifinals by Dover-Sherbom.
The team is hoping for more
success this season, and with talent
at every position, the goal is a rea-
sonable one.
Leading the way are three senior
co-captains, one at each position
on the field (except goalie): attack
Jake Previte. midfielder Joe
Durkin and defender Casey
Coleman.
Previte was the team's leading
scorer with 87 points (44 goals. 43
assists) last year. Coleman is
another returning starter, and head
coach Stu Curran praised Durkin
as "a great leader and a good ath-
lete."
The coach his defense may be
the strength of the team. Joining
Coleman are clavsmates Crandon
Leahy and Leo Clougherty, and
sophomore Jeff Brown. Leahy
(football and hockey) and
Clougherty (football) are both
tough athletes who bring plenty of
experience in physically demand-
ing sports. At 6-foot-3 and 200
pounds. Leahy brings a big.
imposing frame to the field.
The best of the bunch may be
Brown, a tremendous athlete who
was an honorable mention for the
Pilgrim Conference All-Star team
as a freshman in 2004.
"Jeff may have the best potential
of any of our players." Curran
says. "He could be playing in a
major Division 1 program in col-
lege. He could really be something
special."
That defense will be playing in
front of a goallending tandem of
senior Chris Sims and junior Eric
Libby. Sims was set to get the stan
yesterday against defending Div. 2
state champion Duxbury. but both
will see time in net during the year.
"Sims has been showing a little
better at practice the last couple-
days, but both are working real
hard everyday." said Curran. "It
could be a situation where the hot
goalie that particular week will get
the start"
There is some depth in the mid-
field position, with Durkin. seniors
Sam Steele. Man Casey. Kevin
Dinsmore and junior Trevor Brady
likely to get the most playing time.
At the end of last season. Curran
called Steele ••probably our most
polished reluming midfielder."
The senior is a solid two-way
player.
The coach is also excited about
the aggressive style of play he is
expecting to see from Casey and
Dinsmore. part of an overall tena-
cious defeasive scheme.
"I definitely think we're not
going to give up a lot of shots."
Curran said. "Our defense is ath-
letic and very physical They're all
very mobile and last. They ma)
not be physically overpowering,
but they're athletic with pretty
good size.
Colin Regan. Jake Ko\ac and
Dan Trendowicv also figure in the
midfield mix.
As lor the attack, the likely
starters alongside Previa are junior
Aidan Buick and senior John
Grimm. Buick was in ihe team's
top three in scoring last year, and
Curran is looking for Cinmm to
have a big bounce-back season
alter missing most of last year w ith
a leg injury.
Sophomore Michael Bunstein
will also get his share of playing
time up front for the Skippers.
One thing that has impressed
Curran thus far is tile clear results
of the improvement many of his
players made over the offseason,
particularly in a Sunday indoor
lacrosse league.
"The commitment of this
through the offseason has been
significant" he said. "They've
played together as a unit, and it
shows."
Bigger and better things
By Mark Goodman
MG000MAIWCNC.COM
With the talent returning from
last year's tournament team.
Cohasset boys tennis is hoping
for an even better 2005 cam-
paign.
The Skippers return all three
singles players and their top
doubles team from a squad that
won 12 matches last season
before falling to Seekonk in the
state tournament.
Junior Nils Sceery starts the
season (which was scheduled to
kick off yesterday at Cape Cod
Academy) at number-one sin-
gles. He went 14-4 in his match-
es last season, and head coach
Kent Parrot says Sceery has
been in good form in the presea-
son.
"He had a really good winter
season, and it's showing,"
Parrot said. "He put in a lot of
hard work in the winter. He's
played in some USTA tourneys,
and 1 think that's going to show
this season."
Right behind Sceery at num-
ber-two singles is classmate
Danny Sullivan. Both were
league all-stars last season.
Sullivan played at the top spot
last year, and is expected to be a
very strong number-two guy
this year.
Rounding out tiie singles rota-
tion at the beginning of the year
is sophomore Blain Morin. who

Cohasset also returns a fjou-
hles team with experience play-
ing together: senior captain
Brendan Michaud and junior
Chris Pescatore.
"They have some experience
together, so they are going to be
a pretty gcxxJ team this year."
Parrot said.
The second doubles team
against CCA was scheduled to
be sophomores Chris Don/e
and Owen Kyle. Parrot says
there are live freshmen who
will also be vying for doubles
spots.
The young newcomers are
the top sign of the growth of
the program, something that
Parrot is excited to sec
"We have a fun lineup this
year, and we've gone from a
depth chart of seven kids to
22." he said. "It's really excit-
ing to see the number of kids
getting on the court."
As for team goals this year,
number one is to improve 00
last year's 12-8 record. Parrot
also has a loftier goal in mind:
topping powerhouse NorweJJ
for the South Shore League tide.
"It's going to be very interest
ing." Parrot said of the league
race. "|Norwell coach | Jay

All-Scholastic boys basketball team
Cohasset's Trevor Brady named
as an honorable mention
After losing ull five starter-,
from last year's team, the
Cohasset boys hoops squad
needed junior co-captain Trevor
Brady to slep up in more ways
than one this season.
He did just that, leading the
team in scoring at over 1 3 points
and providing leadership to a
young, inexperienced team.
The Mariner has recognized
these achievements and listed
Brady among the Honorable
Mentions lor our 2005 boys bas-
ketball All-Scholastic team.
Brady and the rest of the young
men you see listed below as hon-
orable mentions received serious
consideration for All-Scholastic
acknowledgement.
In the end. however, we limited
ourselves to a team of just 13,
and. after consulting with area
coaches, we do feel secure that
we chose the top male basketball
plavers in Marincrland for this
honor:
Bill Carey - Senior (('apt. I
Guard - Abington
No question here There was-
n't much this lalented senior
guard didn't accomplish this sea-
son...The South Shore League
Player of the Year, led his Green
Wave squad to the finals of the
Div. 3 South Sectional tourney,
where the squad dropped a heart-
breaking double-OT decision to
e\ entual champs,
Dedham. ..Abington finished
with a 20-3 record... Champs of
the SSL at 11-1. Carey also
became the first AHS boys hix>p
player to reach the l.(KK)-point
plateau... He did it in the first
round of the team's own Green
Wave Invitational Tourney, scor-
ing 30 points in a win over
Hanover. . .The SSL All-star fin-
ished his career with 1,109,
becoming the school's all-time
leading scorer... Led the league

the postseason tourney, putting
up totals of 27. 22. and 29 points
in three games. . . Carey plans to
continue his basketbali career in
college.
Dan Hoffman - Senior
(Capt)
Center -Abington
With teammate Carey ruling
the perimeter. Hoffman did the
same inside the paint for the
South Shore League Champions
(11-1).. This lalented center and
captain was one of the most well-
rounded players on the team,
racking up a slew of stats this
winter via his outstanding
rebounding ability and clutch
short-range jumper... Hoffman
finished the regular season aver-
aging 1 1 points and nine boards
per game... His post play was
sensational in the postseason
toumey. where Abington (20-3)
reached the Div. 3 South
Sectional semifinals... There.
Hoffman averaged seven points.
12 boards, and two blocked-
shots in three tourney
games. . .The SSL All-star's best
game in the Div. 3 South came in
the quarterfinals against Cardinal
Spellman, against whom he tal-
lied eight points. 10 boards, and
two blocks.
Jon Conway - Senior
Forward - Abington
Was perhaps the most stabiliz-
ing force on the Green Wave
squad, Conway was the second
leading scorer on the Green
Wave squad. . .In 20 regular sea-
son games, Conway averaged
14.2 ppg. placing him sixth over-
I all in the South Shore
! League ... Had a tendency to pick
." up the pace in big games, partic-
ularly in the Div. 3 South

tory...The SSL All-star had the
ability to put up points via three-
pointers, off drives, of off an
offensive board... He plans to

Matt Lynch - Senior (Capt.)
Guard - Braintree
Called by his coach one of the
best players on the South Shore,
and deservedly so... A Bay State
Conference first team All-Star
this season ... A three-year varsity
player. Lynch led the team in
scoring with over 16 points per
game.. . Also led the Wamps in
assists and steals... May have
been a streaky shooter at times,
but the ball was unquestionably
going to be in his hands at the
end of the game, and he made
some big shots when it count-
ed... Was the leader of
Braintree's pressure defense, and
generally drew the assignment of
guarding the opposing team's
best perimeter scorer. ..Also a
captain of the boys lacrosse team
this season, and came out for the
golf team in the fall... Braintree
head coach Bob Crook: *'l
believe he is one of the top play-
ers in our area. Everything it
takes to be a good player, he has
it. He's as good as anyone on the
South Shore."
Pat McGrail - Senior
Forward - Braintree
A Bay State i
Conference
first team All-
S t a r ... A
strong, physi-
cal 6-foot-3
presence in
the paint that
can jump out .... . ., ..
of tne build- **McG™«
ing... Demonstrated that leaping
ability by converting an alley oop
dunk against Cardinal Spellman
in the championship game of the
Massasoit Hall of Fame Classic,
a game won by the
Wamps... Second on the team in
scoring at over II points per
game. . Led the team in rebound-
ing and blocked shots... A:i All-
State football player in the fall, as
he caught 50 passes on the grid-
iron for the Wamps... Simply
put. a remarkable
athlete... Braintree head coach
Bob Crook. "Pat is one of the
most gifted athletes I've ever
coached. He can guard the 6-6 or
6-7 guys inside, and the 5-10 guy
outside. He's able to do that
because he is so quick and athlet-
ic. He and Matt could have
scored more, but they certainly
sacrificed for the good of the
team."
Ryan^Harrington - Senior
Playing in the shadows of
1 ,000-point scorer last season,
Harrington had his chance to
shine this year... The Patriot
League All-star was the go-to
player on the Indians' team,
leading the squad with an
average 17 points and eight
rebounds per game. ..The 6-
foot, 2-inch center's tough
play inside the paint led the
team to an 11-9 regular season
in which the squad won their
own Amaral Tourney and qual-
ified for postseason play in the
Div. 3 South Sectional... The
team went 5-3 in the Patriot
League West Div.. splitting
games with eventual champ
Randolph during the year.
Hanover coach Mark Malloy:
"Ryan had a solid season for
us and as a player we could
always depend on."

the hump of qualifying for post-
season play for the first time in
several seasons... Hingham fin-
ished up the regular season at 1 3-
7 and went 6-2 in the Patriot
League East, finishing second in
the final standings to only
Duxbury and went 10-3 overall
in the PL. . .Creahan 's play inside
the paint helped the Harbormen
overcome a tough 1-3 start to go
on a seven-game win streak
before running into PL West
champs Randolph and the Green
Dragons.. The PL All-star
helped the Harbormen rebound
with a double-digit effort in a
lashing of Silver Lake (52-
34). . Had a lough draw in the
first round of the Div. 2 South
Sectional toumey and fell to the
eventual South Champs Catholic
Memorial... Just a junior.
Creahan will return to the court
next season.

one of the top
freshmen on
the South
Shore ... A
South Shore
League All- 1
Star, an honor
that should be I
earned a few
more times
before his Clipper career comes
to an end. . Wound up as the go-
to guy for a team that made the
slate tournament and won a game
there, a rarity for a ninth-grad-
er... Averaged a double-double,
and was almost a shoo-in for that
accomplishment down the
stretch... May have saved his
best for last, notching 18 points
and 14 rebounds in the postsea-
son-clinching win over Duxbury
on the last game of the
year... Plays AAU for the Bay
State Magic. . Also played fresh-
man football this year, playing
defensive tackle and
guard... Uses his strong, wide 6-
foot-3 frame to carve out space in
the paint for his trademark baby
hook... If he develops his right
hand, watch out... Norwell head
i
coach John Willis: "We're not in
the tournament if it wasn't for
James Long. He produced when
it mattered. He is going to be
some kind of leader and player
when it's all said and done."
Billy Arria - Guard/Forward
Junior - Norwell
Did everything asked of him by
the Norwell coaching staff, and
that included many
things... Need a basket in the
paint? Need someone to step in
and play the point.' He did it
all... Stepped full-time into the
point guard role at the halfway
point of the season and brought a
semblance of control to the
Norwell offense. . .A South Shore
League All-Star this
season... Scored 15 points, all in
the second half, of the Clippers'
tournament preliminary round
win over West wood... Played

team... Has played AAU ball
since the 6th grade, and currently
plays for the Bay State
Magic... Part of a very talented
nucleus coming back to the
hoops team next
season... Norwell head coach
John Willis: "Billy really stepped
up as a leader as the year pro-
gressed. I think he showed in that
Westwood game how good a
player he is in the post. If we can
get him down there more often
next year, it's going to be great to
watch."
AdamDacey
Guard - Pembroke
In the beginning there was
Adam ... The heart and soul of a
first-year Titans squad that twice
beat Silver Lake Regional, the
school from which Pembroke
withdrew last summer ... Went
from Old Colony League all-star
to Patriot League all-star as easi-
ly as someone changes socks ...
Averaged 16.4 points, five
assists and three steals per game
... His value was evident not
only by leading the young Titans

The Stars and Seahawks skat-
ed hard on Friday afternoon.
The first period was marked by
good defensive hockey by both
teams as well as some solid goal

g(xxl scoring chance midway
through the period when Kyle
Bowman took the puck from
the red line and skated passed
the Seahawks defenders only to
be denied by a diving saving by
the Seahawks goal tender. Chris
Phillips made several good
saves during the period while
Jack McNeil and Connor
Lemieux displayed some solid

ward positions.
The Seahawks scored their
first goal of the game in the sec-
ond period as the Stars had trou-
ble getting the puck out of their

right back to the Seahawks for-
ward following the play. The
Stars got solid play during the
period from the line of Andrew
Kuppens. Tucker Antico.
Seamus Ryan, Harrison
Sheldon, and Matty Johnson.
The line moved the puck well
keeping the play in the
Seahawks zone but was unable
to get the Stars on the board.
After going down 2-0 at the
three minute mark of the third
period, the Stars tried to take the
action to the Seahawks.
Shaelyn Tobin. Robert
Bothwell. Mats Nelson, and

two good scoring chances in the
final frame only to be denied by
some great goaltending. With
two minutes to play. Colby
Comeau. Derek Benson. Kyle

breakaway scoring chances but
in the end the Seahawks goal-
tending was to strong to over-

an early goal in the first period
but never lost faith coming
from behind lo beat the Brewins
3- 1 . The Stars got strong defen-
sive play throughout the game

port of Goalie Chris Phillips.
The Stars tied the game at one
mid way through the second
period when Paul Parker took
the puck from his own blue line
and fed a rushing Russell

period with boih Derek Benson
and Colby Comeau having
good scoring bids. Malty

zone with solid point play.

utes into the final frame when

the end making several great
saves and noi allowing any sec-
ond chance shots.
With two minutes left to play,

Evan's Run set for May 22
The 5th Annual Evan's Run
has been scheduled for Sunday,
May 22 at 10:30 a.m. at
Norwell High School.
The race, which offers a 5K
run and walk and a 1 OK run, is
named in honor of Evan Henry,
a Norwell native who passed
away in July of 2000 at the age
of 11.
Evan was autistic, and the
Henry family decided soon
after his passing to set up a
foundation that raises funds for
organizations that help autistic
children like Evan. Thus, the
Evan Henry Foundation was
bom.
The first Evan's Run had
great numbers, but attendance
and participation has waned in
the last three years. The
Foundation has organized quite
an event this year, including
live entertainment from the Jon
Frattasio Band. There will be a
bandstand set up at the high
school, where the race begins
and ends, and the entertainment
is scheduled for 8 a.m. to noon.
A post-race party has also
been planned, and will be held
at McGreal's Tavern in Norwell
Center. Festivities there are set
to begin around I p.m.
Cost to register for the race is
$20 ($10 for the various chil-
dren's races that have also been
set up), with proceeds going to
the Evan Henry foundation. If
you just want to watch the race
and enjoy the music, that is
totally free of charge.
For more information about
the race, or to register, go to the
Foundation's website,
www.evan-henry.org, or call the
race hotline at 617-347-2068.

Lsh ill about 2'/2 years. The pro-
fessors, however, work around
the company's busy times.
•They'll look at liMC's work
cycle," Hoss said. "The end of
quarter is demanding for sales
and manufacturing, so they tend
not to have many classes then,
and they try not to have classes
during the annual customer con-
ferences and sales meetings."
Ratiier Uian heing in a class full
of Students from different com-
panies. Hoss finds himself with
I14 folks from EMC's various de-
partments.
"I am with people from manu-
facturing, purchasing, the supply
chain, coming from as far as
Westborough and Southbor-
ough. and down lo Franklin."
ltoss said. "Somediing that has
been a hidden benefit of the pro-
gram is you learn how large and
diverse the company is. There Ls
a guy in the class from China,
guys from Germany, the U.K.
and. obviouslv. all across die
L.S."
Students an' chosen by KMC
for die program, Ross said, but
they must then meet Northeasl-
ern's admission requirements.
Once in. ltoss said, the company
takes care of the costs - tuition,
hooks, application fees, etc
Should someone leave EMC
less than a year after taking a
class or classes, said EMC
spokeswoman Kristen Karapet-
ian. the employee Ls required to
pay back the cost of the course,
but not the cost of the entire pro-
gram.
From what lie can tell. Ross
said die coursework would be
the same if someone was taking
the class at another college,
"I'd say it's as close as it could
be," Ross said. "My brother just
graduated with an MBA from
Babson (Collegel. and we com-
pared DOles and they are very
similar."
The partnership between EMC
and Northeastern has allowed
the coursework to be tailored for
the company, Northeastern's
Maletta said.
"in (Northeastern's own) on-
campus program (students) ex-
amine different companies, but
they do analysis of their own
company." Maletta said. There
is the same philosophy (with
EMC), but it is more dedicated to
EMC's situation."
The areas covered are the
same for on-campus and on-site
students, Maletta said, including
accounting, finance and market-
ing and organization of the busi-
ness. Because the program has a
high-tech focus it also includes
strategies for technology compa-
nies, new product development
and research of technology-
based products.
In classes, rather than using
PMOtO B» MIKE S«*"Wi£'
alty professor Mark Meyer teaches a class In
t EMC Corp. In
hypothetical situations. Maletta
has students analyze EMC's fi-
nancial statements or what they
are doing in their departments.
They also compare EMC to its
competitors, customers or ven-
dors.
"The idea Ls to relate back to
what they are working on."
Maletta said. "It makes them
mure meaningful and. hopefully,
more useful than if they were just
theoretical."
Those who do not work at EMC
also have the opportunity to get a
degree, but it just may not be as
convenient
Brian Frost a hardware engi-
neer at Natiek-based Cognex
Corp.. went back lo get a mas-
ter's degree in computer science,
mostly on the company's dime.
They paid for most of every-
thing; they have $6,000 per year
that they reimburse." Frost said.
"There's no way I could aflbrd
that."
Frost completed hLs degree in
2'/2 years. It took him that long
because he look just one class at
a time in Northeastern's campus
in Burlington.
"It's very difficult trying to
maintain a balance between
working here, especially in
today's market with a lot less
people doing a lot more work,"
Frost said, "and then to try to go
home, manage a family and do
lal few hours (of) homework. It's
difficult."
On days he had class. Frost
said he would log 100 miles dri-
ving from his Worcester home to
work in Nauck, then lo Burling-
ton for class and finally back
home.
'Luddfy it met only twice a
week for one hour and 40 min-
utes," Frost said.
Despite the time commitment.
Frost said he was glad he got his
degree.
"I decided to go back lo school
for a couple reasons," Frost said.
"One. lo continue my education
and. two, to keep up on new re-
search techniques and to try to
maintain competitiveness with
the rest of the market-
Any future training. Frost said,
he will likely do using the compa-
ny's on-site training.
Some businesses prefer that
method, including Framingham-
based Staples Inc. The office sup-
ply company has created a whole
system of training classes, which
Ls known as Staples University,
said Jeff Boudro, the director of
training and development for the
program.
"I would say that 95 percent (ol
training) Ls in-liouse." Boudro
said.
Looking at the name, Boudro
said, people may not get the true
pictun' of Staples University.
"It's not like your typical uni-
versity." Boudro said. "It isn't a
campus or a place, it's a network
of learning opportunities."
It is set up like a university,
however, with colleges for differ-
ent sections of the business, in-
cluding colleges for retail and de-
livery.
Everyone in die company, from
the employees at the stores -
known as associates - lo the
management, attend courses at
some point. Boudro said.
Associates learn about new
products, wliile people working
at call centers learn about com-
municating with customers.
Some classes take place in a
single room, but with more than
1.400 stores across the country
and more than 65,000 employ-
ees, it Ls difficult to run a class
thai includes everyone. Staples
uses technology to overcome this
hurdle.
"A lot of training Ls done with
distance (learning), using the In-
ternet or CD-ROMs," Boudro
said. There is also a satellite stu-
dio we use to broadcast to 900
different locations. It Ls a great
way to overcome geography."
Classes do not typically take a
great deal of time. Boudro said.
The most common one is a
four-hour module." Boudro said.
"We also have have (the) three-
day leadership challenge, but the
majority are bite-sized classes so
people ran incorporate (them)
into their busy work schedule."
Using people inside the compa-
ny lo train employees has proven
to be more efficient Boudro said
"We thought that having peo-
ple who work at Staples would
mean they would understand the
culture, and they are better suit-
ed to understand technology and
keep up with our business,"
Boudro said. To do it in-house.
we an; able to develop and edu-
cate our employees quicker."

Higher Education
Working adults offered Pathways to earn degrees
By Sandy lashin ( urrwil:
Businesses like Verizon
and National Grid are
increasing the pool of
employees they can
promote from within by offer-
ing them a path to earning a
college degree. Employers arc-
acting as guidance counselors
in increasing numbers, hosting
information sessions for local
college continuing education
and accelerated degree pro-
grams.
"The end result of a belter
educated employee is a much
more professional and dedicat-
ed employee." said Mark
Beauregard, training specialist
at Verizon.
Marc Durocher is currently
an engineering staff consultant
for Verizon. He answers all of
Verizon's engineering ques-
tions from Maine to Maui, he
says. He wisely instilled the
value of a college education in
his children, but was feeling
the guilt of not having attended
college himself. He said he
could see that in today's econo-
my it was no longer possible to
get as far as he had w ithout a
degree.
Maureen Pond is a customer
service quality monitor for Na-
tional Grid. "Every job posting
in the company requires a de-
gree." she says. While she had
taken a few college classes, the
process of earning a degree w as
moving too slow ly for her.
Durocher and Pond both
learned of the accelerated bach-
elor of business administration
degree available at Becker Col-
lege through their employers.
They could earn the degree in
22 months, bv attending classes
one night a week, if they had
three years' work experience
and 24 college credits. Both
were ready to make the com
mitment. but lacked the re-
quired credits.
In an effort to meet the edu-
cational needs of professionals
like Durocher and Pond. Becker
developed another accelerated
learning option by launching
Pathways in the spring of 2(KW.
Pathways is a sequence of accel-
erated college courses that help
students gain the credits they
need to qualify for the accelerat-
ed bachelor's degree. Ten
months later. Durocher and
Pond are among the first stu-
dents to successfully complete
Pathways and continue on to-
ward a bachelor s degree.
"I jumped at the chance."
Durocher said, of learning about
the Pathways option. "It is
ama/ing how tar I have come in
less than a year." He was able to
turn his electrical license and
years of experience at Verizon
and the former NYNEX into
college credit loo. through a
portfolio option which allows
students to petition for college
credits based on prior learning,
life experience and professional
training.
Now that they have come this
far. Durocher and Pond both sa>
they may not stop at a bachelor 's
degree, hut may push on toward
a master's degree
The course-work is demand-
ing, but they enthusiastically
recommend the experience.
"Nothing worthwhile comes
easy." Says Durocher. "The sat-
isfaction I get when I see the re-
actions of people when I tell
them I have gone hack to school
is priceless "
"When our accelerated degree
program was developed in 2001,
there were very few non-tradi-
tional learning options tor work-
ing adults in central Massachu-
setts," said Jack Eoran. vice-
president of lifelong learning at
Becker C ollege.
In addition to Becker's pro-
gram, other area institutions,
such as Nichols College in Dud-
ley, offer various accelerated op-
tions. Nichols offers associate's
and bachelor's degrees in busi-
ness administration. To qualify
for the bachelor's program.
"When our accelerated degree program was
developed in 2001, there were very few
non-traditional learning options for working
adults in central Massachusetts."
Jack Poran
prospective students must al-
ready have an associate's degree
or at least ISO college credits.
Clark University in Worcester
offers the unique and nationally
recognized accelerated
B.A./Master's Degree Program.
Students enter or transfer into
one of (3 specialized programs
that allow them to earn both a
bachelor's degree and a master's
degree in five \ears.
Die Massachusetts College of
Ptttvmacj and Health Sciences
is offering accelerated options
for students entering the lie-Id of
nursing. The college has recent-
ly launched a new accelerated
three-year lull-time bachelor of
science nursing degree program
at the main campus in Boston.
Additionally, there is a second
BSN program offered at the
MCPMS Worcester campus he-
ginning January 2(KKi Adults
with a bachelor's degree in a
field other than nursing can earn
a posi-haccalaureate BSN in 16
months
The cost of a college educa-
tion is often one of many obsta-
cles tor adults who wish to re-
turn to the classroom or go lor
the first tune. Lora A Baldiac-
chi. a vice president at South
bridge Savings Bank, was in a
position to help. She had wit-
nessed classmates in her acceler-
ated classes drop out because • >l
Unemployment or other finan-
cial difficulties.
Baldracchi created an educa-
tional line of credit exclusiveK
for accelerated degree students
at Becker College. The funds
must he used for educational
purposes with a repayment peri-
od of up to 120 months. "I re-
searched finance options at the
time and found no other similar
programs ottered locally." she
said.
Private or alternative loans are
being offered by increasing
numbers ol financial institutions
and other companies such as
Edamerica. which offers student
loan options and college plan
ning resources* Private loans are
recommended by financial aid
Offices for adult students and for
traditional students who need to
pad their financial aid packages
Other alternative loans include
the Signature Loan, the Kev
Loan and the Citiassist Loan.

gins on Monday evenings start

George Thompson. Wizetrade " Creator

stock market is complicated
I enough. Stocks can go up or
down in a matter of minutes, if not
hours, and for no apparent reason.
And. when it comes right down to
it. why it's going up or down is
anybody's guess. You might as well

Intel's earnings go up but the stock
drops like an anchor. Or. Microsoft

unspecified future.
None of that matters for one
simple reason.

Tampa-St. Pete region
offers charm,
amusement and culture
By CINDY ATOJI
TAMPA. Fla. — Central Florida doesn't
top the cultural landmark list of most
serious history buffs. Alter all. make-
believe castles that sprang up overnight in the
middle of orange groves outside of Orlando
don't really qualify as weighty civic monu-
ments.
But this coastal city S4 miles west of Orlando
offers a national historic district along with its kid-
pleasing theme parks and attractions, white sand
be&Ches and thriving ethnic communities where
the melting pot ot flavor isn't served from a con-
cession stand.
Ybor City. Tampa's Latin quarters, has a smoky,
Bourbon Street charm that belongs to another era.
This former "Cigar Capital of the World" attracted
Cuban. Spanish. Italian. German and Jewish
immigrants to work in the factories. At the neigh-
borhood's peak in the late 1800s, I2.IXX) master
tabaqueros hand-rolled 7(Ki million cigars a year.

minated by old-style globe street lamps, and you'll
lind trendy nightclubs, funky tattoo parlors and
nouveau boutiques lucked beneath wrought-iron
balconies and near wide piazzas.
The intoxicating aroma of Cuban coffee lures
walkers on La Setima (Seventh Avenue), the main
drag, where Florida's oldest eatery, the Columbia
Restaurant, opened in 1 905. The establishment has
humble beginnings as a small
cafe where patrons gathered to

For a real wildlife safari — and wild rides —
Busch Gardens In Tampa Bay,
venture over to Busch Gardens, where free-roam-
ing herds of zebras, ostriches and bongos and
flocks of majestic cranes wander in the shadows of
looping, plummeting world-class roller coasters.
From its beginnings in 1959 as a humble bird
sanctuary adjacent to the Anheuser-Busch Tampa I
Brewery. Busch Gardens has expanded into a fam-; j
ily-pleasing blend of thrilling rides, majestic ani-; '
trials and top-rated entertainment.
The African-themed adventure park claims to
house more animals than any destination outside
of Africa, with more than 2.000 representing 300
species, cared for by one of the country's top zoo-
logical staffs.
Jump on Rhino Rally, and you can get an inside
look at Busch Garden's Serengeti Plain while also
getting an adrenaline rush as you traverse the
extreme course on a Land Rover. The Serengeti
Express Train and Skyride also offer up-close
views of giraffes, antelopes and gazelles on the 65-

Selectman,
school seats
up for grabs
Saturday is
Election Day
By Samantha Brown
SAMBROWNeCNC COM
If campaign signs serve as the
barometer of the political climate
in town, then this year things are
a little schizophrenic.
Some yards have Koed and
Vanderweil signs, others have
Vanderweil and Shadd. and still
others have Koed and Shadd -
you gel the picture. Voters can
choose just two for selectman.
One prominent spot in town is
sporting signs for both Pam
Wilson and Lee Jenkins, even
though they are running against
each other for the one-year
school committee seat.
Go figure. Simply put. its any-
one's guess who will win come
Saturday night.
Voters thinking they're going
to get a chance to vote on the
$400,000 general override or
$13.2 million debt exclusion will
have to wait a few weeks until a
special election, whose date
selectmen are expected to set at
their Tuesday meeting.
The polls will be open tomor-
row (Saturday. April 9) from 8
a.m. until 6 p.m. at Town Hall.

The town is going to forge

Cohassets Tinory
recorded the pontiff
By Mary Ford
MFORD»CNC.COM
When Cohasset 's Rik Tinory is
working on a recording, he puts
his entire heart and soul into it.
But on his latest project. Tinory
is taking that dedication to a
whole new level.
The Pond Street resident,
whose company Rik Tinory
Productions recorded Pope John
Paul IPs Mass on Boston
Common on Oct. I. 1979. is
working around the clock to pro-
duce a new CD of the historic
event.
Tinory's company had the
exclusive recording contract
with the archdiocese some
25years ago to create an album,
whose proceeds go to agencies
that work to help the pixir and for
propagation of the faith.
It's a day that Tinory can recall
as if it happened yesterday.
Tinory recorded the entire Mass
which was conducted in front of
an audience of upwards of half-
a-million people.
"It was the largest live audi-
ence in the history of recording."
Tinory says.
When Tinory recently heard
how ill Pope John Paul II was. he
look the original analog tapes out
of storage and played them.
"They played beautifully." he
says.
He transferred them to "digital
audio." then to a computer where
they were "remastered." The
1979 album cover i
redesigned to lit a CD (eotnpai
disk) which he hopes In n Id -
today (Friday). Again the pro-
ceeds, minus some production
costs, will be distributed k) char
itable Catholic agencies.
Tinory. who has recorded
Aerosmith and whose song
"Remember Ol'Scollay Square"
is in the Smithsonian, is no
stranger to celebrities and largc-
scale events - but the Pope's \ isil
to Boston will always he at the
top of his list
For one thing, the security was
phenomenal as were the logis-
tics, Tinory recalls. And the
weather didn't help - torrential
rain poured down. In fact. Tinory
- who worked from atop B kiosk
20 feet from the ground — was

Police Chief Hussey
gets permanent post
Elm Street housing complex could get boost
By Samantha Brown
SAMBROWNOCNC.COM
Town Manager Bill Griffin has
appointed James Hussey k> ihe position
of permanent police chief. This is
Griffin's first department head appoint-
ment since coming on board Jan. 3 1 .
Griffin said Hussey "s contract will he
a three-year agreement and the final
details are being aired out. When (he
details are settled upon, the contract
will be made public, he said. Currently.
Hussey is receiving a base salary of
SIOl.tKX) per year. Former Chief
R. >hcrt Jackson w as salaried at SX4.(MHI
per year.
"I have had the opportunity to work
with Chief Hussey lor (he two months
of my service as Town Manager, and I
have found him (o be highly qualified.
Motivated, and hard working." Griffin
~&led in a memo to selectmen. 'I have
en told that many, many people in
ilfcwn government and the community
Save also been very impressed with
Chief Hussey's performance Over Ihe
flast 10 months."
NDuring Monday 's selectmen's meet-
ing Griffin publicly announced the
appointment. Griffin said during
Hussey's tenure, "he has brought sta-
bility to the department and has tried to
reconnect the department to the com-
munity."
Griffin went on to say although there
is still work to be done, the positive
momentum should carry forward with
Hussey on board.
Hussey. a Norwood resident, came on
board last June, replacing the retiring
Jackson, who had had a rocky year at
the helm of the small town police
department that had been riddled w ith
controversy
Jackson's departure followed on Ihe
heels ui former Town Manager Mark
Haddad who abruptly resigned one
month earlier for personal reasons.
Haddad placed iwo officers Ml paid
administrative leave in October 2003
amid allegations of misconduct and
fired the animal conlrol officer. Two
former dispatchers filed sexual harass-
ment complaints. The actions resulted
in a spate of lawsuits and headlines
Enter Hussey. a certified mediator,
who has turned out to be the kind of
leader the department needs, relying
Upon the skills he acquired during
yean, with the Boston Police
Department, selectmen say Hussey
reinstated the two officers in time for
the July 4lh weekend.
But even Hussey 's appointment was
not without controversy. Jackson's
retirement was announced on a
Tuesday and Hussey was publicly
interviewed and subsequently recom-
mended by selectmen to be appointed
as interim chief two days later. Hussey
was the only candidate interviewed by
all five members of the board, and
si Hue residents believed with a position
such as police chief, a wider search
should have been conducted.
In addition, because the public inter-
view was the first time die town had
been introduced to Hussey. some ques-
tioned just how much business had
been conducted before llial night and
w hy Ihe public wasn't involved
Griffin said this time around, he
chose not to formally advertise the
position or solicit applications from
other candidates because he believes
such a process would not he in the
"shod and long term interest of the
Cohasset Police Department or the
town as a whole. The police depart-
ment has come through a very difrtcull
period ol lime, and Chiel Hussey has
made huge strides in building a sense
of leamwork within ihe police depart-
ment,'' Griffin staled
Hussey. who was m attendance dur-
ing Griffin's announcement, said he
was thrilled with the opportunity to be
continuing on in Cohasset
"You have a great police department
and a greal community and I look for-
ward to ihe next three years." he said.
"People are slow ly bui surely pulling in
the same direction.''
"I'm very happy and honored to be
presented with this opportunity,"
Hussey said.
Griffin said under the Tow n Manager
Act. the board has 15 days in which to
veto his appointment, or it may choose
to lake a vole lo waive thai right and let
the appointment stand,
"I think the community overall is
happy with ihe appointment." said
Selectmen Chairman Michael Sullivan.
Selectman Ralph Dormitzer echoed
lhal statement and said. Til he glad lo
waive."
"I think ii's ihe right decision and I'm
glad the chief decided to slay." said
Selectman Fred Koed. Selectmen
Ronnie McMoms and Rob Spoflord
concurred.

Hooking up to Hull
not off the table
SAW BR0WN©CNC .COM
The Sewer Commission has his-
torically denied new housing pro-
jects access to sewer, including the
possibility of securing capacity
from Hull. However, if discussion
at a recent Board of Selectmen's
meeting is any indication, at least
two sewer commissioners are
willing to allow the latter option to
be discussed.
Sewer Commissioners Sean
Cunning and John Beck stated
they would be willing to take pan
in a discussion to consider pur-
chasing capacity from Hull for
future developments, although
there would be many details to be
waked out before it is considered
a viable option.
Beck said speaking for himself,
he would be in favor of a solution
that would encompass Avalon.
Cedarmere. and Qx>k all sending
their wastewater to Hull, "assum-
ing you can negotiate an inter-
municipal agreement." He added
if an agreement can be reached, he
would like to see the existing
homes on the pathway to Hull
hulked up as well, because that
"would satisfy existing laws." The
Sewer Commission as a whole
says it has always maintained the
position of sewering existing resi-
dences first.
Beck also said if a Hull connec-
tion is considered, he believes
developers should pay I (X) percent
of the cost to lay the pipes and I (X)
percent of the capacity charges.
He also said after the project is
complete, the developers should
sell the pipeline to the town for one
dollar or whatever amount is legal-
ly binding.
Wastewater disposal has
become an issue for all three of the
proposed housing projects in
town, but with an April 30 dead-
line fast approaching, the Cook
Estate project is running out of
time to show progress toward a
wastewater solution. Soils on the
site cannot support wastewater for
all 95 units, and an alternative
wastewater solution has yet to be
found.
Developers from Northland
Residential, who are working with
the town to build on the Cook
property, recently presented a pos-
sible alternative which would ask
the town to sewer the affordable
portion of the 95-unit project, leav -
ing 60 units to be dealt with on
site. Soil tests have indicated up to
60 units could be handled on site.
However, Avalon and
Cedarmere are ahead of the Cook
project in the proverbial sewer
line. Avalon is a 200-unit complex
slated for Route 3A, and
Cedarmere is a 105-unit seniors-
only project planned off
Beechwood Street. All three pro-
jects have been denied sewer
access. If the Cook project is
given a connection, the question
remains as to whether it can move
forward without taking the other
two projects with it.
The town of Hull has an abun-
dant amount of capacity in its
wastewater treatment plant and it
has been suggested more than
once that Cohasset begin negotia-
tions to try to purchase some. In
fact, after being told by the Sewer
Commission a municipal connec-
tion in Cohasset would not be
granted, Avalon developers began
looking into that as an option.
However, Avalon developers
would have to get permission from
the Sewer Commission to install
the necessary pipes to Hull in
Cohasset streets, and until now,
that option has seemed a far reach.
The Sewer Commission has
denied Jerusalem Road Estates,
another development interested in
buying capacity from Hull, from
getting a street opening permit to
install sewer pipes. Jerusalem
Road Estates sued and lost. A
Superior Court decision affirmed
the Sewer Commission's exclu-
sive authority over sewers in town
and its authority to deny connec-
tions and reserve capacity for
existing homes.
Searching for options
To help the town find a solution
for its wastewater woes. Town
Counsel Paul DeRensis has sug-
gested it adopt a Home Rule
Petition, or special legislation,
which would allow the town to set
its own rules when it comes to dol-
ing out sewer capacity. DeRensis
said Cohasset could pass special
legislation similar to that in
Sturbridge and Provincetown.
The town would be given authori-
ty to pick and choose what gets
sewered through Town Meeting,
which could decide to form new
sewer districts. Currently, if the
(own opted to sewer the Cook pro-
ject, it would be opening itself up
to litigation because the property is
outside the Central Sewer District.
Avalon and Cedarmere are outside
the district as well. The legislation
would allow for "spot sewering"
through new sewer distnets.
The Home Rule Petition would
also give the town a variance from
state law so it would not have to
sewer on a first-come first-serve
basis. That means if Town
Meeting chose to create a new dis-
trict encompassing the Cook prop-
erty, Avalon and Cedarmere would
have no legal grounds to sue. The
state legislature, which would ulti-
mately approve the Home Rule
Petition after a Town Meeting
vole, is immune to lawsuits.
DeRensis said another potential
option would be for the town to
find a way to incorporate the Cook
property into the Second
Amended Judgment. The Second
Amended Judgment was handed
down by the state as a means of
implementing the Clean Waters
Act. In 1979, a complaint was
tiled alleging violation of the Act,
and the town reached an agree-
ment with the state to supply mod-
em wastewater treatment. As part
of the settlement, the town con-
sented to enter the Judgment.
Since then, the town has been
working on a plan to clean up the
waters in the Little
Harbor/Adantic Avenue area of
town.
DeRensis said if the Cook prop-
erty is added to the judgment, and
order from the slate "trumps over
first come first serve. You have lo
obey the order first"
Beck said he is "vigorously
opposed to ihe Home Rule," as
well as any solution specifically
crafted for the Cook Estate. "It'll
be a legal disaster," he said.
'The problem with Cook is, you
can't have one without the others,"
Beck said, adding the town is
going to generate a lot of work for
lawyers if it goes down that path.
He said in addition, the Home
Rule would "emasculate" the
Sewer Commission as far as plan-
ning is concerned.
Cunning said he is not in favor of
DeRensis' idea that the town use
the Second Amended Judgment as
a crutch to sewer the Cook Estate.
"It's not very ethical to put certain
projects ahead of others." he said.
Sullivan agreed and said there
was a reason the Department of
Environmental Protection wanted
Cohasset to enter the Judgment
and he doesn't see how the Cook
project would fit in.
With Hull capacity looking like
a potential solution to be investi-
gated. Selectman Ronnie
McMonis asked whether Beck
thought the town or the Sewer
Commission should be doing the
negotiations with Hull, and Beck
said any conversation regarding
Hull capacity should begin with
the developers of the projects
because that will determine
whether they have the funds to pay
for the associated charges. "How
much to developers have to put
into the pot'.'"
However, Spofford said current-
ly, the town is in litigation with
Avalon and Cedarmere as well as
Jerusalem Road Estates and nego-
tiating with Hull could affect all
three. "Haven't we denied access
to HulIT' he said, which would
indicate there would be a major
change in policy if the commis-
sion started discussing the poten-
tial of connecting.
"I'd have to ask my lawyer,"
quipped Beck. .
Speaking for himself, Seww
Commission Chairman Raymond
Kasperowiez said, "I'm not quite
as crazy about that idea as John
is," referring to an inter-municipal
agreement with Hull. He said he
doesn't feel that comfortable
putting the town's sewers into the
hands of others. "What if Hull
shuts off the valve'.'" he asked.
Kasperowicz said he sees Hull as a
temporary solution for a much
larger problem and said, "Thirty
years from now, there could be a
problem." if Hull decides it needs
its capacity back, or another neigh-
boring town such as Hinghani
decides it will pay more for capac-
ity and Hull cuts Cohasset off. ,
The Sewer Commission has nw
taken a formal vote on whetherit
would be in favor of allowing dis-
cussions on negotiating with Hull*)
proceed but Spofford asked the
commission to meet as soon as pos-
sible to make that decision. Beck
and Cunning said they would be
open to being a part of that discis-
sion, but at that point Kasperowicz
had left the meeting. The commte-
sion has also been asked to speak
with the Cook working group,
which has been charged with inves-
tigating all potential solutions fa-
te Cook site.
Dormitzer questions meetings legality
At the beginning of the Monday,
April 4 Selectmen's meeting.
Selectman Ralph Dormitzer said
he was concerned the meeting
they were about to have might not
in fact be legal.
"As many of you know, the
posting of this meeting is insuffi-
cient to give people warning," he
said, adding the meeting was post-
ed Friday morning, and Town Hall
closes at I p.m. on Fridays and is
not open either Saturday or
Sunday.
"People were given II hours
notice essentially," he said, adding
"We arc supposed to be open and
transparent and this doesn't look
it."
"I'd be glad to adjourn," said
Selectmen Chairman Michael
Sullivan.
However, Town Manager Bill
Griffin said Town Counsel Paul
DeRensis had a scheduling con-
flict that prevented him from
attending meetings on Tuesday
nights for the next few weeks and
DeRensis had already set aside
Monday night to enable him to
attend Town Meeting. When it
became apparent the Monday
night session would not be neces-
sary, he was asked to attend the
board's meeting instead.
Dormitzer said he still feels the
timing is very questionable and
residents did not have 48 hours
notice.
Selectman Fred Koed said as
long as the board does not take
any votes, he would feel comfort-
able sitting through an informa-
tional meeting. However, he also
noted that usually, the Board of
Selectmen does not meet during
the week between Town Meeting
and the election.
Sullivan said the board would
not need to take a vote that night
but it is extremely important for it
to meet with DeRensis because
the town is approaching an April
30 wastewater solution deadline
with the Cook heirs and there are a
lot of questions to be answered.
Dormitzer said he would go
along with whatever the board
decided to do.
Selectman Rob Spofford said he
shares Dormitzer's concerns, but
added considering the number of
people who had turned out for the
meeting, which was roughly 20. if
the meeting remaines informa-
tional, he thinks it is imperative
that it continue, to allow DeRensis
the time to inform the board of all
possible ramifications of its deci-
sions.
Under the Open Meeting Lav*
"For each city and town, a notice
of every meeting of any goverrb

When the new sewer projects
W completed in four or five
pm, roughly 60 percent of the
Kpwi will be connected to sewer
mains. The rest of the homes will
••till he on septic systems.
When the $12 million for Little
Harbor/Atlantic Avenue project
- dubbed the "big gorilla"' arti-
cle by sewer commission chair-
man Ray Kasperowic? — won
on a resounding voice vote,
many in attendance broke out
into cheers and applause. But the
uin wasn't without drama.
The four sewer articles - or
items of business on the warrant
came up late in the day after the
morning budget discussion and a
grueling 2-1/2-hour debate over
two proposed zoning changes
following the lunch break.
As the clocked ticked toward
4:45 p.m., sewer proponents —
who had a clear majority and
would benefit from the connec-
tions — slaved off attempts to
adjourn Town Meeting at 5 p.m.
so their remaining articles would-
n't be put off until Monday night.
Water commissioners had led
the effort to adjourn the meeting
out of fear their articles (which
followed the sewer articles)
would not draw a quorum on
Monday, but the SI2million
sewer article would ensure a
crowd.
While the water commission-
ers' attempt failed, they were
subsequently successful in keep-
ing Town Meeting in session for
roughly another 1-1/2 hours.
Upwards of I(X) diehard voters
remained, maintaining the neces-
sary quorum and took up all the
remaining articles negating a
need for a Monday session.
If the debt exclusion for 50 per-
cent of the sewer projects passes
muster at the ballot box it would
add roughly 19 cents to the tax
rale or $127 to the tax bill of the
owner of a home assessed at
$670,000 in fiscal 2009. Starting
in fiscal 2010. the debt service
will add about 14 cents to (he tax
rate or about $94 for (he same
house.
Mos( who spoke a( Town
Meeting felt it was fair to allow
voters in the privacy of the polls
(o decide w helher they wanted to
subsidize (he projects.
Selectman Rob Spofford
described it as a "fairness issue"
and therefore, the affected home-
owners had the right to seek an
override vote.
Joe McElroy. 59 Windy Hill
Road, who benefited from the
50-50 subsidy for the original
North Cohasset project agreed.
He said even though the town's
high property taxes might drive
him out of town, he appreciated
thai Little Harbor homeowners
had voted to support subsidizing
that project.
"Ethically I don't sec how we
can avoid not supporting the 50-
50," McElmy said.
However, the capital budget
and advisory committees were
against the town incurring any
more debt and urged a no vote on
the taxpayer subsidy.
Several voters also said they
felt the way the sewer articles
were presented was misleading.
Sewer commissioners first urged
approval of the two articles
appmpriating money for (he pro
jectS Mating there would be no
cost to the taxpayer. After those
articles passed, they presented
the "50-50" article asking tax-
payers to pay lor 50 percent of
the projects.
Adrienne MacCarthy. 85
Doane St., characterized it as a
"bait and switch."
A lew minutes earlier Dick
Avery. 22 Surry Dr.. unsuccess-
fully tried (o rai'se the 50-50 issue
during discussion of the two pro-
ject articles by asking who was
going to pay for them.
But sewer proponents ruled the
day. They were able to "call (he
question" on (heir articles, stop-
ping debate, and with their clear
majority pushed three sewer arti-
cles through in less than an hour.
In addition to the two projects
and the 50-50 payment articles,
voters also agreed' to a SKXMXX)
appropriation lo update the
town's 1997 Comprehensive
Wastewater Management Plan to
prioritize other wastewater man-
agement solutions including the
potential of satellite treatment
plants and expanding the town's
inter-municipal agreement with
Hull. The town has an agreement
with Hull lor 80,000 gallons of
wastewater per day but is only
using 63.000 ol that Sewer com-
missioner Sean Cunning said
there is enough capacity to
include the expansion of the
North Cohasset District without
having to purchase any more
capacity.
The tow n is under a court order
to solve its wastewater problems
that include pollution of water
bodies from failing septic sys-
tems and runoff from driveways
and other imperv ious surfaces

Seventh-grade spring summit May 4 |
The Cohasset School Department and Project
Safeguanl announce that the 2005 Spring Summit
for 7* Graders will be held on May 4, in the
Middle High School Auditorium from 7:50 to
1 1 :50 am. This year's event promises to be a very
informational and insightful day.
The Spring Summit (previously known as
'Campus on the Common") is being planned for
bum parents and students this year. Its purpose is
lo provide young people and their parents with the
information needed to help them deal productive-
ly with such social pressures as anorexia, divorce,
drinking, drug use. athletic pressure, college
admission, etc. Using parent and student breakout
sessions, speakers, peer leaders and interactive
preseniaiions. our goal is to help the students in
making productive and healthy choices in their
lives.
Commenting on the event Sheila Toomey said.
"The Spring Summit can be an important resource
for both students and parents. The pressures and
choices that young people face today can be
daunting. Within our families, schools, communi-
ties and peer groups, we have the ability to offer
txir youth the support they need for healthy devel-
opment. The Spring Summit is a great resource for
accomplishing this goal.
Motivational speakers, student peer leaders, spe-
cial drug ambassadors, health professionals and
educators will all present at this event. The day
will include several interactive exercises such as
role-playing and workgroup sessions for both stu-
dents and parents.
One of this year's speakers will be Dr.
Punyamurtula S. Kishore, President and Founder
of Ihe National Library of Addictions (NLA) in
Brookline. MA. He personally maintains the
NLA. which offers lectures on addiction related
topics, publishes newsletters and coordinates
interventions. Dr. Kishore also serves as an asso-
ciate physician al Beth Israel Deaconess Medical
Center in Boston as well as primary care and
addictions medicine specialist with Primary Care
Associates (Chestnut Hill and Sandwich,},
Brighton Family Practice and Addiction Medicine
Associates, Wobum Family Practice, Springfield
Family Practice and Worcester Family Practice. ',
The day's presentations will also include the
results of a targeted survey of the Cohasset that
seventh, and eighth graders. Among other ques-
tions, this survey asked students about the types of
pressures they may be under and how they per-
sonally have responded to those stresses.
Most Cohasset youth live healthy, productive
lives and develop into competent, successful
adults. The goal of the Spring Summit is to buiki
on these strong backgrounds and present our stu-
dents with a positive-oriented presentation thii
will help them in their coming-of-age yean).
Through ihe peer leaders and interactive formats,
as well as by giving their parents the informatioh
needed to guide them, we will assure the studer*>
that they are valuable members of our society with
a worthy and fresh perspective. We will also pre-
sent the consequences of making unhealthy choki-
es through our drug ambassador program, spon-
sored by the National Library on Addiction. '
Parents interested in getting more information
about the 2005 Spring Summit should look for a
letter from the school department in the coming
days.
The Spring Summit is made possible by the
generous support of the volunteers from Project
Safeguard. Project Safeguard is a Cohasset com-
munity initiative that offers information to youth
and their parents around the issues of adolescent-
related health and wellbeing. For information
about becoming involved with Project Safeguard,

Rabies clinic April 9 at NE Wildlife Center
:miuials
Rabies is an Infectious viral disease that affects
ihe nervous system of humans and other mam-
mals. People get rabies from the bile of an animal
with rabies. Any wild mammal, like a raccoon,
skunk, fox. coyote, or bat can have rabies and
transmit it lo people. It is also possible, but rare,
that people may get rabies from a rabid animal if
its infected saliva gels directly into their eyes. nose,
mouth or a wound.
The New England Wildlife Center will conduct
a rabies clinic April 9 from 10 am. until 2 p.m. at
19 Hon Hill St. There will be a $10 charge for a
rabies vaccine. Please call the Cohasset Health
Dept. at 78 1 -383-4 1 16 with questions.
Because rabies is a fatal disease, the goal of pub-
lic health is to educate people to avoid exposure
and to prevent the disease by vaccination treatment
if exposure occurs. Rabies Ls preventabk: by fol-
lowing these simple guidelines:
• Be a responsible pet owner by keeping vacci-
nations current for all your pets.
• Teach children not to touch unfamiliar animals.
The rule, "Love your owa leave other i
akme." is a good one to follow.
• Make sure pet food and garbage are not left qui
where they can attract animals, Cover trash cans
tighdy.
• Feed pets indoors and keep them indoors al
ntght.
• If you are bitten or scratched by an animal,
wash the area thoroughly with warm water and
soap for at least 10 minutes and contact your pri-
mary care physician.
• Use caution when handling an animal that has
been in a fight with another animal. If possible,
wear gloves when handling your pet after a direct
encounter with a wild or stray animal.
• Be extra cautious about bats. Bat bites and
scratches may be so tiny they may be undetectable.
If you think you or your children may have been
bitten or scratched while asleep, you should call
your primary care physician. Bat-proof your house
by closing any outside exposure in the attic and
all windows.

More to life than winter
FAITH REFLECTIONS
Gary Rrrrs
And so it's finally spring! A
time we begin to sense there cer-
tainly is more to life than winter
would have us believe. There arc-
always times of darkness and
despair in everyone's life. We all
are saddened by the passing of
Pope John Paul II. and will keep
St. Anthony's Parish, the
Catholic Church and the College
of Cardinals in our prayers.
As we all move through the
winter-times of our lives, it's
those springtime gifts of fresh-
smelling air and glorious colors
that speak to souls that are starv-
ing for hope. All of our religious
traditions have holidays thai
coincide with spring and the
chance at a renewal of life and
Spirit.
May the fresh, spring-like
breath of God breathe upon us
all! And may that uplifting of
spirit infuse every relationship
from our own spiritual journeys,
into our families, right through
our own Cohasset community
and. finally, out into our need)
world!

Bill Avery and Gabriel Gome: of the school budget investigation committee show a charge of the school budgets from fiscal 2003
though fiscal 2005,
By!
SAMBBOWNeCNC.C0M
Last December's Special Town
Meeting voted tor the Troika to
appoint a committee to investi-
gate why the school department
was over budget for fiscal 2004.
At Saturday's Annual Town
Meeting that group presented its
findings, complete with recom-
mendations for the future.
The committee found at the
heart of many school budget
issues lies the common denomi-
nator of a lack of communica-
tion. There has been a feeling
around town that year after year
there are "surprises" in the
school budget, which arise at the
last minute, for which a large
amount of funding is necessary.
The committee recommended
the school committee become
more aware of potential account
deficits and possible solutions,
and moving forward approve
inter-account transfers. For
example, if a teacher retires and
money becomes available that
could be used in another area, the
school committee should vote to
make that transfer to keep every-
one on the same page.
In addition, the report recom-
mended all financial information
available to the school commit-
tee should be shared with the
town manager, director of
finance, and advisory committee
chairman to keep more people
abreast of the school budget situ-
ation throughout the year.
The committee also recom-
mended the school committee
present at the Annual Town
Meeting, a balanced budget that
does not rely on being supple-
mented by a later Town Meeting.
Historically, certain line items in
the school budget have been
underfunded with the expecta-
tion the money could be allocat-
ed at a later dale. The idea that
overrides are an annual necessity
should no longer exist, the report

The town had passed a
$400,000 operating budget over-
ride at the 20(H Annual Town
Meeting to help balance the
school department's fiscal 2005
operating budget, and with that
action still fresh in the minds of
taxpayers, a $93,000 unpaid gas
bill had surfaced just before the
end of the fiscal year June 30.
At the December 2004 Special
Town Meeting, the school com-
mittee came under scrutiny and
voters spent almost 90 minutes
deciding whether to allocate
funds for an unpaid Keyspan gas
bill for the schools.
Not only was it determined the
$93,000 would need to be paid
for fiscal 2005, it would need to
be added to the budget for fiscal
2006. That, coupled with an
additional $65,000 in unbudget-
ed unemployment costs which
would also need to be paid for
fiscal 2005 as well as added to
the budget moving forward,
caused many voters to question
the school budgeting process.
One resident even called for the
resignation of three school com-
mittee members, effective imme-
diately. However, voters ulti-
mately approved the appoint-
ment of the investigative com-
mittee instead.
The committee was appointed
by the Troika which consists of
Selectmen Chairman Michael
Sullivan. Advisory Committee
Chairman Donna McGee and
Town Moderator George
Marlette in early February and is
comprised of Chairman Joe
Barresi, a former Inspector
General of the Commonwealth
and former advisory committee
member: Dick Avery, also a for-
mer advisory committee mem-
ber. Gabriel Gomez, a police
advisory council member;
Maureen Jerz, a former advisory
committee and school committee
member; and Margaret Lynch, a
former advisory committee
member.
Gelling down to business
To begin its work, the commit-
tee completed a series of inter-
views beginning with Sunt, of
Schools Denise Walsh. Former
Supt. Edward Malvey was inter-
viewed as well. Director of
Finance Michael Buckley — who
served as Acting Town Manager
fmm the beginning of May until
Jan. 31 when new Town Manager
Bill Griffin came on hoard — was
interviewed twice. Griffin was
also interviewed as was
Selectman Rob Spoftord. former-
ly the chairman of the building
facilities committee. Advisors
Committee Vice Chairman
Bemadette Faulkner who serves
as that board's liaison to the
sch«>l committee was also inter-
viewed as were school committee
member Rick Flynn and School
Committee Chairman Rick Sheu.
The committee also interviewed a
Keyspan customer representative.
Avery and Gome/ presented
the committee's findings at last
Saturday's Town Meeting, which
uncovered a list of systemic prob-
lems including;
•Insufficient up front infor-
mation: The committee con-
structed a timeline of when infor-
mation was available to the
school staff, and it found insuffi-
cient information was available
in early 2003 to enable the
department to predict utility costs
for fiscal 2004 renovations.

attendance. Unlike other recent
Town Meetings, business was
completed in one day. As is cus-
tom. Town Meeting will formally
adjourn after the Annual Election
which this year will be held
Saturday. April 9 (See related
story).
The town voted to approve a
total operating budget of
$31,886,824. with the school's
portion totaling $12,629,382.
including the $400,000 override.
Selectmen and the advisory
committee recommended the
budget as proposed.
"I don't think anyone prefers to
recommend an override." said
Selectmen Chairman Michael
Sullivan, but added his board felt
it was in the best interests of the
town. Advisory Committee
Chairman Donna McGee said her
committee felt there was no other
way to sustain the level of service.
She said the town and schools had
cut as much as they could be with-
out affecting services.
However, there were some in
the crowd who needed some
additional clarification before
casing a vote in the affirmative.
Bill Flynn. 41 Atlantic Ave.,
asked Supt. of Schools Denise
Walsh to explain how the override
figure was decreased to $400,000
when it started out as $640,000.
Walsh explained the school
department is in the middle of set-
tling two special education cases
which have some guardianship
issues that are currently in litiga-
tion. One is for $185,000 and the
second is for $10,000. If those
cases are settled, they will no
longer be the responsibility of the
district. However. the
Department of Education will
need to approve the final special
education figures and the school
department is not sure what the
final outcome will be. In addition,
Walsh said the schools have
looked at salaries to make up the
additional $45,000.
Griffin said because the special
education cases will likely not be
Cohasset's responsibility moving
forward, it wouldn't have made
sense to include them in the over-
ride because that would raise the
tax levy "for all of eternity" when
the money is only going to be
needed for one year.
General overrides are perma-
nent tax increases and are
absorbed into the regular tax base
the following year. Under Prop. 2-
1/2. the stale law capping the
amount a municipality can raise
its taxes without voter approval, a
town can only raise its tax levy by
2-1/2 percent without an override.
Joe McElroy. 59 Windy Hill
Road, said he was baffled at the
budget that flies in the face of the
committee to investigate the
school committee's report stating
the town should not accept over-
rides as being an annual occur-
rence (see related story). Town
Meeting voted to accept that pro-
posal, and McElroy said, "But
that's exactly what we're doing."
He added the budget assumes
teachers will take a zero percent
increase in salaries and contract
negotiations are not final.
Sullivan said McElroy brought
up a very good point and said last
year, town employees agreed to a
/em percent raise, and this year
the budget is asking the same of
the teachers.
"No one likes to do it but I think
it's important to recognize all the

Local shellfish beds open
Selectman Ronnie McMorris
said the selectmen recently
received a letter from the
Division of Marine Fisheries,
dated Jan. 31. 2005. which states
the town's shellfish beds have
received approval to open. That
means seafood from the shellfish
beds, which have been closed
since 1 978. could he harvested for
direct human consumption, sub-
ject to local rules and regulations.
"The Division has determined
that the area now meets the estab-
lished criteria for the harvest of
shellfish and has changed the sta-
tus to 'Open to shellfishing'." the
letter states.
The shellfish beds are located in
the waters and flats of the portion
of Massachusetts bay both in
Cohassei and Scituate. northerly
of a line drawn northeasterly from
Strawberry Point in Scituate.
southerly of a line drawn along
the Cohasset/Hull line, northerly
of a line drawn across the
entrance to Cohasset Harbor and
Little Harbor, and westerly of the
Plymouth County line.
McMorris said she would like
more information regarding what
caused the status to change which
would allow the shellfish beds to
be open once again. The issue
will be discussed at an upcoming
meeting of the board.

Since opening in December

Cohassei has received rave
reviews from locals who dine

Bia Bistro. Brian Houlihan,
was flow n down to Washington
DC. by the National
Environmental Trust, to receive
an award for his efforts on a
sustainable seafood campaign
called. "Take a Pass on Chilean

Houlihan has agreed to keep the
endangered fish off his menu.
Houlihan explained the
Chilean sea bass, which is also
known as the Patagonian
Toothfish. is on the verge of
commercial extinction due to
over-fishing. He said it takes
10 years for the fish to mature,
and many are being caught
before having a chance to
reproduce, which is having a
devastating affect on the
species. By agreeing to take the
fish off his menu. Houlihan is
promoting the efforts of those
who catch seafood in an envi-
ronmentally sensitive manner,
therefore benefiting the health
of the oceans. In addition, he is
purchasing all his fish from
local fishermen, which gives
their business a boost.
According to the NET. since
Local chef receives
eco-friendly seafood award
JB
1991, the Chilean sea bass has
gone from being virtually
unknown to becoming one of
the most popular fish in
America. However, even with
the threat of commercial extinc-
tion, pirate fishermen continue
to catch the fish illegally.
Although international laws
exist to protect the species, they
are ineffective and hard to
enforce. Unless demand for the
fish declines, estimates suggest
that it may be commercially
extinct within five years.
That is where Houlihan
stepped in.
To help bring down the
Millennium Bostonian Hotel,
he was approached with the
idea to take Chilean sea bass off
his menu, and he was happy to
oblige.
"I take rt as part
of my job to
what to eat and
lead them in the
right direction."
-Brian Houlihan. Bia Bistro
Houlihan said restaurants in
Boston were among the first to
become involved in the cam-
paign adding, "I was one of the
first in Boston and I've never
had it on the menu since then,"
he said. Houlihan said the
effort has since spread to larger
cities such as New York and
San Francisco.
"Lots of chefs took it off their
menus." to begin with, he said,
but last year, when the NET
revisited and contacted restau-
rants to see how the efforts
were going, they found Chilean
sea bass had found its way back
to the table. "I was one of the
only ones that kept it off," he
said.
Impressed by Houlihan's ded-
ication to the efforts, the NET
asked him to be a part of their

"It was a lot bigger deal than
I thought," he said, adding he
had expected there to be closer
to 100 people in attendance
with 20 awards given out. but
upon his arrival, he was greatly
surprised. "There were about
550 people and three awards."
he said, adding if he had known
how big it was going to be, he
would have brought his family
along for the trip, including
wife Tristcn and their three chil-
dren, Conor, Hailey. and Aiden.
Houlihan said there are many
other great seafood options
chefs can incorporate into their
menus, and he said due to his
location in Cohasset Village, he
has been very fortunate to be
able to take advantage of the
fresh local seafood caught off
its coast.
"I talk to the local fishennan
and see what's abundant." he
said, adding sea scallops, mus-
sels, cod. and haddock are very
abundant and tasty. "I try to gel
it right off the boats."
"We always have a seafood
stew on our menu." he said, and
the seafood keeps changing
depending on what is available.
He said he hopes chefs from all
over will follow suit, and serve
up the type of seafood which is
most abundant and environ-
mentally-friendly in their areas,
helping spread the message to
their customers.

"SHE THINKS I'M
FUNNY AGAIN"
I used to really crack her up with my jokes. But, over the years, my comic routines
seemed to get a little tired with her. She did ask me to repeat a lot so we went to Mass
Audiology for a free hearing test. Before the exam, they asked her lots of questions.
Come to find out, she was having trouble hearing a lot of things! Who knew that she
couldn't hear my great punchlines? Now, she hears great! And, I seem to be funny again.

There's Never Been A More Important Time To Buy American.
Are Hazards Hiding in Your House?
The miracles of modern convenience often come with a
side effect: toxicity.
Chemicals that kill crabgrass. remove rust, dissolve
paint, and even electronic devices and some building mate-
rials can also make us sick if we toss them out carelessly.
The South Shore Recycling Cooperative has some tips
to prevent us from poisoning our planet:
1. Be careful what you buy
Choose the least toxic product to get the job done. Simple
soapy water cleans most surfaces. Latex paint is easier to
work with and dispose than oil based paint. If you buy too
much, you can just dry it up and put il in the trash. Oil based
paints and thinners are flammable, the fumes can make you
sick, and they need to be brought lo your town's paint shed
or household hazardous product (HHP) collection for prop-
er disposal (which, by the way. costs your town a lot of
money). Electronic thermostats are also a safer and more
versatile choice than non-electronic ones, which contain a
lot of mercury and should also be disposed separately.
2. Fight the urge to buy the bulky bargain!
Proper disposal of excess hazardous products can cost
more than what you paid for them: improper dumping can
hurt people. For instance, flammables in the trash can
cause trash truck fires.
3. Weigh the choices
Some products that contain scary stuff have other virtues
that outweigh their toxicity. Fluorescent lights contain
small amounts of mercury, but save large amounts of ener-
gy. So buy them, then recycle them at your town's recycling
center or HHP collection, along with your old fashioned
thermostats and thermometers.
Rechargeable batteries contain cadmium, another
toxic heavy metal. But they too save energy, as well as
waste, and can be safely recycled like fluorescent lights.
Their alkaline counterparts arc not toxic, but they only
deliver 2% of the energy required to make them, and they
weigh down your trash.
4. Throwing it away doesn't mean it goes away.
What you put in your trash or down your drain can end up
in the air you breathe, the water you drink, or in a sanita-
tion worker's face. Solvents, pesticides, pool chemicals,
automotive fluids, caustic cleaners, and toxic metals like
mercury and cadmium are just some of the hazards that
may be hiding in your house. Most towns provide safe
ways to dispose of them, and will even trade you a digital
thermometer through a program run by American Ref-Fuel
for your mercury ones! The. iSouth Shore Recycling
Cooperative coordinates about a dozen town collection
events open to all area residents each year. If you're not
sure what to do with your household hazardous products,
check with your Board of Health or go to aicjnfo.

ThiS led a mutual mistrust

tight budgets, which invited
overruns.

Opinion
A man of
courage
and faith
While mounting his passing, the worldwide Roman Catholic
commun.il) celebrates the life of 84-year-old Pope John Paul II.
He would not u.mt mourners. He is finally with God. to whom
he dedicated his life, and his suffering has ended.
Those who arc not Catholic share in paying tribute to a man
who left an indelible imprint on history. He bore witness to
Nazism and communism, meeting both w ith courage and faith.
As much as art) one nun. he sent communism to history's dust-
bin.
He was a highly educated man, earning
two masters degrees and a doctorate in
philosophy, and a prolific author. His
intellectual gifts were balanced by a caring
and practical nature.
Bom (Carol Jozei Wojtyta on May is. 1920. his childhood
years were difficult. His mother died when he w as 8. his broth-
er when he was 12. and his lather when he was 21. Though
raised a strict Roman Catholic, he was taught to respect and
admire people of Other faiths. That served the Roman Catholic-
Church in goad stead two years ago when he ended the long-
standing esirangemenl between Catholics and Jews.
He was a highly educated man. earning two masters degrees
and a doctorate in philosophy, and a prolific author. His intel-
lectual gilts were balanced b\ a caring and practical nature. As
a young priest, he founded programs to help those w ith marital
problems and alcoholism, and he prCA ided counseling on fam-
ily planning and physical abuse. He lo\ed children. He spoke
out in defense of the most vulnerable among us.
And he was a man who believed in miracles. He brought to
sainthood 4S2 people during his 26 years as pope, more than
any other pope in the history of the church. His recovery from
an assassin's bullet was something of a miracle itself.
Historians w ill long debate the legacy of this remarkable man.
He helped liberate millions set remained a theological conser-
vative. In an age of moral relativism, he held last to the morals
and principles his church hud embraced for centuries.
In the days to come, millions of words w ill be spent trying to
summarize the life Of Pope John Paul II and capture his essence
in fitting tribute. All will be inadequate. The prayers in the
hearts of the faithful will speak more eloquently than eulogists
and editorial writers.
May he rest in peace, and live on in the deeds of believers and
the respect of people of every faith.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Thanks to those who
TOTWBDtTQK
Cohasset has again had a successful Road
Race By The Sea sponsored by the Cohasset
Rotary Club. For those residents of Cohasset
who don't know much about the Rotary Club
it is made up of a small group of extremely
generous individuals who work very hard to
help others. I have had the pleasure of work-
ing with the Rotary Club to put on the race for
more than 25 years.
Without their help and generosity we would-
n't be able to have our race. The Club works
quietly behind the scenes and helps many of
the Town's organizations, families in need,
and also world wide Rotary Club projects.
One year they worked to help eradicate polio
from the world and made a very generous
donation to an African Nation to complete
their program to eradicate polio.
We all owe the Rotary Club of Cohasset a
big thank you for putting on the race.
Cohasset is lucky to have these dedicated indi-
viduals.
We should also thank a few volunteers who
have worked the race for many years
Sharpless Jones and Brian Noble.
Congratulations to the walkers and runners
who participated today, to the sponsors who
generously supported the race, to the Town
departments who volunteered their services to
make the race a success. A special thank you
to the personnel from the highway department
who were out on the roads early this morning
patching the pot holes to make the course safer
for the participants.

Apology noted
To thk hxtok:
I should have known better. At town
Meeting on Saturday. I reacted inappropriate-
ly and said something that appeared to some to
question Mark DeGiacomo's integrity. That
was not my intention and to attempt to explain
what I said would probably lead to my foot
becoming even further lodged in my mouth.
I sincerely apologize to Mark and to the cit-
izens in attendance. It was uncalled for.

SAFETY COUNTS
Chifj Hi ss>:v
" ' * J
1
The Police/Community Council has met on
two in vasions since the start of the year. We
are reviewing the services the police depart-
ment currently provides as well as the results
of the public safety survey. We luive had good
discussions ami all agreed that one area the
police department could impmve its services
was in pmviding information and education
to the community. The issue of wanting more
information/education from the police
department also surfaced in the public safety
survey.
Spring has finally arrived. Everyone is get-
ting over winter's induced "cabin fever". As
you set out for that run. walk or bike ride,
please consider the following tips to make
\ i iur adventure a safe one.
• Use designated run/walk areas when-
ever possible. Running/walking on trails
through parks, woods or on a sidewalk is
always the safest option.
• Run/walk with a partner. This is espe-
cially important if you are running/walking
in the woods or a park. There will be times
when you should go "single file" to maintain
safety.
■ Run/walk during daylight hours.
Obviously you can see and be seen much
better in the daylight. If you must run
As you set out for that ran,
walk or bike ride, please
consider the following tips
to make your adventure a
before/after daylight, make sure to wear
reflective material.
• Running/walking on the street If you
run/walk on the street, make sure to run/walk
against the traffic. This allows you to see a
potential hazard approaching. If a vehicle's
driver has poor vision, is intoxicated, is talk-
ing on a cell phone, is blinded by the sun or
oncoming lights or is distracted in some other
manner, you want to be able to take evasive
action. You cannot do so if your hack is to the
traffic. A vehicle coming toward you is a
good time to go "single file" if you are run-
ning/walking with others. "Single file" is
also a good idea when approaching the
curves in a road. This is when both you and
an oncoming vehicle will have trouble seeing
each other.
• Make eye contact with the vehicle's
driver at intersections and driveways. You
never want to assume that a driver sees you.
Most drivers are just looking for other vehi-
cles. Make eye contact with the driver to
insure he/she is yielding before you proceed
CHAMBER CHATTER
through the intersection or pass the driveway.
For you bicycle enthusiasts, there are a dif-
ferent set of rules to follow. Here are a cou-
ple of tips to consider:
• Use proper equipment Inspect your
bicycle (brakes, tires, etc..) to make sure it
is in good working order. Mirrors are very
helpful in monitoring vehicle movement
around you. Wear a helmet. Just because
you didn't wear one when you were younger
doesn't make it all right. What better way to
model positive behavior for our youth and
your children.
• Use designated bike paths whenever
possible. Anytime you can avoid mixing

Environmentally friendly artificial turf
By Steve Bobo
SPECIAL TO THE MARINER
With the coming of spring, we will again see
the platoons of landscapes and grass cutters
invading our lawns and gardens. With these min-
trations will come the addition of tons of fertil-
izers and lawn chemicals, most of which will
leach into the groundwater and add to the already
dangerous levels of nutrients in our water bodies,
Cohasset Cove, Lily Pond, the Gulf and the rest.
It seems that there's no way to get people to
give up their addiction to the need for perfect
lawns and the consequent desire to spend mil-
lions on fertilizer and lawn care. Well, here's an
alternative. Artificial turf. Thai's right:
Astroturf, Synlawn, Sprinturf, to give some of
the trade names of companies who sell synthetic
lawn products.
After years of development, these products
have reached near perfection in terms of their
ability to reproduce good looking lawns. And
compared to conventional lawns they cost less
and require almost no maintenance. Moreover,
they are better for the environment, and certain-
ly better for those who choose to walk lie or play
on the lawn outside.
Here's a clip from one vendor:
"LawnScape product is the perfect solution for
K seems that there's no way to
get people to give up their
lawns and the consequent
desire to spend millions on
fertilizer and lawn care.
your home landscaping needs. Tired of maintain-
ing your yard? Want ii to look like your garden-
er was there this morning — every day?
LawnScape requires no water, never needs
mowing, and drains quickly when it rains. Oh,
and how about LawnScape installations in
regions where it doesn't rain too often? Recent
droughts have been decimating lawns lately.
Your lawn can look lush and green all year
round. Whether you are looking for aesthetic
edging on your property or huge swaths of green
grass, LawnScape is your solution."
And there's competition. There are several
very aggressive vendors for this product.
Moreover, it's probably much cheaper than
equivalent real turf.
Let's work out some details: These turf prod-
ucts sell for prices in the range of $3 to $5 per
square foot. They come in 15 foot rolls. They
are generally made of 100 percent nylon with
blended colors. The grass blades are cut to about
1-3/4 inches long. And most have a 10-year
color fade guarantee.
Let's say you have a 20 by 100 foot front yard,
2000 square feel. The lawn will cost about
$10,000. No need to do the back; after all,
nobody sees lhat. Now what do you spend per
year for lawn maintenance? There are. of course,
other costs. Site preparation. It's necessary to
ensure proper drainage, and, to ensure that rain-
water enters the ground without causing ruts or
siltage, but these are minor expenses equivalent
to rototilling and edging: done once and forgot-
ten.
And now you have a lawn which is beautiful:
doesn't contribute to creation of algae and plant
growth in our water bodies, and is safe for peo-
ple to walk and play on. After all the Patriots
play on Astroturf. and if it's good enough for the
Patriots, shouldn't it be good enough for you?

of Health.
Reptilian residents with personality plus
ON THE WILD SIDE
June Freedman
What's in a name?
Most people think of the N.E. Wildlife Center
as the place to bring injured and orphaned ani-
mals and birds for treatment and rehabilitation
and eventual release back to the wild. Not so for
the residents of the reptile room at the Center:
Rosie. Winston and Joe. Beardy and Skinky.
Woody and Boxy, and Spot. Spot and Spot.
Known as the educational animals, these resi-
dents were pets brought to the Center by people
who could no longer care for them, or they were
animals whose injuries precluded their release.
Hence they have been given names as well as
lots of TLC provided by a faithful team of vol-
unteers who visit them every day of the week to
feed and bathe them, clean their habitat, and pro-
vide enrichment. The residents earn their room
and board by being available to campers and
school groups who visit the Center as well as by
"going on the road" to classrooms and to fund
raisers.
Staff can be quite ingenious in their naming.
Two large African Spur-Thighed Tortoises lum-
bered around the clinic, one named Sherman, the
other Tank. I remember an American Crow
named Poe. after the author of "The_Raven." I
took care of Poe, a human-imprinted bird, until
he moved on to better quarters at a local zoo, and
he entirely changed my concept of crows. Poe
greeted me enthusiastically, and he vocalized
profusely with much more than the raucous
"caw-caw" I was used to hearing from the tops of
my backyard while pine. He loved to play, par-
ticularly with bright shiny objects, and I had been
warned not to wear earrings into his cage. He
liked to be hand fed. and would often hide pieces
of his meal about his cage for a later snack.
Then there was Elvis, the boa constrictor, of
whom I was not quite so fond. So named because
of an injury to his upper "lip" which gave him
The King's famous look, the appeal ended there,
at least for me. Elvis would flatten himself
upright against the glass of his cage, as if ready-
ing for escape. Most of the time I barely man-
aged to replenish his water. His ration of dead
mice fortunately was fed him by professional
staff.
Boa constrictors are not poisonous, but as the
name suggests, asphyxiate by strangling their
prey before swallowing them whole. Their
unique jaw structure allows them to open very
■wide.
Our current resident boa, Winston. I find far
less daunting. Much smaller, in fact he is hard to
find at all, since he is usually hiding under the
paper in his cage, more afraid of me than I of
him, I suspect. He did prove to be the better
escape artist, however. After several days on the
"Missing Reptile List", he was found comfort-
ably curled up in a drawer! I am still at the "get-
ting-to-know-you" stage with Joe. the Western
Hognose Snake.
As potential caregivers of the educational ani-
mals, we had been given excellent training,
including the handling of the snakes. 1 had no
problem doing so at the time with other people in
the room. However, my first visit to the reptile
room alone found me wondering, how many
hours would pass before I would be found with a
boa around my neck — and not the synthetic
dress-up kind!
Known as the educational
animals, these residents were
pets brought to the Center by
for them, or they were animals
whose injuries
precluded their release.
Neither does Rosie. the Chilean Rose
Tarantula, rank high on my popularity list.
Tarantulas do have venomous fangs, to which
some people are allergic, although no person has
been known to die from a tarantula bite.
Although she shares the furry feel of my cats,
whose coats I love to stroke. I somehow think to
do so with Rosie would raise rather than lower
my blood pressure. I just manage to replenish
Rosie's water and drop in her supplement of
mealy worms and crickets. I leave her enrich-
ment activities to heartier souls. Would a tarantu-
la by any other name be so sweet?
Zoos and other places where animals are kept
in captivity are becoming increasingly aware of
the need for enrichment activities. Thus at the
Center the educational animals are visited by
volunteers for additional handling, bathing and
soaking, changes in the furnishings of their habi-
tats, such as rocks, branches and other objects, as
well as time spent out of their cages and out-of-
doors, weather permitting.
Beardy, the Bearded Dragon, who hails from
Australia, is very lovable and the favorite of
many. He loves to be handled and stroked, and
clings very nicely to one's chest with his prehen-
sile claws and tail. In this position he is quite an
eye-catcher at fund raisers, and has more than
earned his keep. His cagemate. Skinky, is a Blue-
Tongued Skink, a fellow Australian lizard
belonging to the family Tdiqua. and relatively
shy.

Also roommates are Woody, the Wood Turtle,
and Boxy, the Eastern Box Turtle
(I know. I know, not so ingeniously named).
Then there are Spot. Spot and Spot, three very
gentle Leopard Geckos, so named because they
are practically indistinguishable!
Not all the educational animals are reptilian.
The avian population is also well represented at
the Center. There is Sgt. Pepper, the Screech
Owl, and Puddles, the Peking Duck. Finally,
there is Fernando, the Bantam Rooster, and
Thumbelina, the Rhode Island Red. who comes
when called en falsetto "chicken, chicken, chick-
en."
Such is the cast of characters who make up the
family of permanent residents at the N. E.
Wildlife Center. Some are adopted in time by
competent caregivers who can give them even
more time and attention. Some, unfortunately,
die in captivity of the usual animal maladies
despite excellent veterinary and daily care. In
such cases, they are truly missed and grieved by
the staff and volunteers.
That reminds me. I really should go visit Poe
the crow to see if he remembers me as fondly as
I do him!

Room.
I see where indigent Boston is out to nail
us 'affluent' suburbs again. I guess we'll
have to give up that weekend on the Riviera.
Muffy. (There, there, don't cry.)
City Councilor Paul J. Scapicchio. who
hails from the North End. where even the
churchmice stand in bread lines, wants to
charge us $1 to $5 just to drive to work or
shop in the city where we can pay up to $20
to park our BMWs for a day in what is pur-
ported to be a safe place after filling our
tanks with gas at $2 a gallon.
For the safety of the driving and walking
public in Boston as well as the suburbs. I
haven't driven a car for several years now so
my recollection of parking fees in Boston
and the price of gasoline may be faulty. It
may be $100 a day and $5 a gallon now. for
all I know.
Maybe they will set up a toll
booth 3t Ncponsct Circle
and call it Checkpoint
But I digress . . .
Scapicchio also wants to set up cameras
on the main commuter roads to take pictures
of the number plates of our cars as they enter
the city so we can be assessed $1 to $5 for
passes or fined, depending on how much
money the mayor needs that day to keep his
cops off the picket line.
For the sake of headline writers every-
where, we can call it "the Scapicchio Tax."
Of course, money is the last thing the good
councilor had in mind when he proposed the
entry fee.
"The program could remedy three pn>b-
lems: congestion, pollution and the lack of
revenue," he said. "This could discourage
the use of our overburdened roadways and
create a revenue source to fix our falling
bridges and pothole-tilled streets."
Boston's Mayor Tom Menino is all for it.
"Anything we can do to reduce congestion
on the streets of our city, we're willing to
take a serious look at," he said.
Maybe they will set up a toll booth at
Neponset Circle and call it Checkpoint
Tommy.
If I were running South Shore Plaza or
Hanover Mall. I'd be all for it. too. Anything
that discourages you shoppers from the
affluent suburbs from filling your pockets
with money and using Boston's overbur-
dened streets to shop til you drop would be
okay with me.
Then there is Fred Salvucci. You remem-
ber Fred. He was Mike Dukakis' transporta-
tion secretary and he likes the idea of the
Scapicchio Tax. too. The last time I saw his
name in print it was accompanied by the
phrase "Big Dig." You know what that
means.
Fortunately, imposing the Scapicchio Tax
on us wealthy suburbs is not a matter for the
Boston City Council alone. The State
Legislature will have to pass on it too.
Maybe our legislative delegation can save
us from new taxes.

School buildings
are underutilized
To the Editor:
Your last question to School
Committee candidates asked
how the $50 million renovated
facilities could he made more
available to the entire citizenry
year-round. All ol the responders
gave the same old answers.
The three school buildings are
grossly underutilized. Cohassei
is ideally situated to break with
tradition and realize greater
usage with badlv needed cost
savings. The 180-da) school year
was established a lOO-plus years
ago when youngsters were need-
ed to help their families prepare,
plant and sow farmland. The
Cohasset School District should
submit a plan to the Slate Board
of Education! u ith a request for
generous grant mone) > to go to a
210-day school sear Roughly
speaking, each da) would be
shortened from seven 10 si\
hours for on-site curriculum sub-
jects. 180 days at 7 hours equates
to 1260 hours annual!) ; 210 da) s
at 6 hours equates to 1 260 hours
annually. There would he two
semesters: a. Feb I -July 1 5 and
Augl5-Jan3l. Atr conditioning
is partially or wholly available
and "zoned'" in the three build-
ings and it is not being used as
intended. Some ol the auvan-
• Continuous stalling of the
buildings will enhance security
and make ii possible lot groups
to use the facilities without ask-
ing for them to be "opened,
superv ised for limited usage, and
closed."
• Modest staff reductions by
attrition. Higher paid teachers.
• Easier class scheduling
• Less opportunity for summer
mischief.
• Greater usage Of ihe facilities
by both students and other citi-
zens.
• Increased availability of ath-
letic fields and other specialized
facilities while allowing more
time for teachers to offer special
help.
• Increased overall capacity of
Ihe facilities.
A lot more planning will be
necessary . There are other advan-
lages although skeptics will be
fearful of change. The most
probable skeptics will be teach-
ers Teachers need to join us in
ihe 2 1 si century. They want il
both ways: i.e.. to be treated as
professionals while hiding
behind their unions. If ihey are
really professionals, they will
embrace positive change and do
what is best for their students.
Some people will complain
that vacation planning will be
more difficult and others will say
that the opportunities for
teenagers to get summer jobs will
be impaired. Parents can plan
vacations during ihe month I
have left open and minimum
wage summer jobs are not as
important as cited advantages.
Critical summer jobs, such as life-
guarding, can be covered by
returning college students. When
ihe Cohasset School District
lakes the leadership role in a per-
formance oriented merit com-
pensation system and goes to'a
contemporary facilities usage
plan; we will be the envy of the
State's 350 school districts.
A Request for Proposal! RFP)
should be issued to all companies
that offer evening adult and high
school education courses. The
Cohasset School District could
permit usage of its facilities and
realize a solid rental fee. As an
example. perhaps Silvan.
Princeton Review, or Kaplan
would be interested in offering
their college preparatory courses.
Quincy College, Massassoit or
UMass might see potential for
on-site adull education classes.
Bingo appeals to adults and is
very popular, but it should be
done in a non-smoking environ-
ment.

Home Rule petition
is a 'power grab'
To thk Editor:
Most citizens of Cohasset are
unaware that in 2004 Town
Counsel was sent to try to mis-
lead the Sewer Commission into
sponsoring some "Home Rule
Petition." Articles that, in
essence, would have emasculat-
ed the Commission hy stripping
it of its authorities that il has as an
independent. elected
Commission and defined in the
voter-approved Bylaws of our
Town. Our Sewer Commission is
set up in the same fashion as
exists in about 99 percent of the
hundreds of towns/cities across
the State — for solid reasons that
have stood the tests of decades!
After review, the Sewer
Commission, recognizing this
"power grab" for what it was,
rejected sponsoring those ill-
intended Articles. They received
a standing ovation for their deci-
sion and their defense of the best
interests of all residents.
The objective of the power
grab was lo allow Town Officials
other than the elected Sewer
Commission, regardless of what
the vast majority of the voters
wanted for the best interests of
Cohasset, to give out sewer
expansions and tie-ins on a spot
basis, called "checkerboarding",
obviously to their favorite but
currently ineligible housing pro-
ject developers. By itself, this is
an egregious effort to go against
the will of the overwhelming
majority of citizens, as demon-
strated in Town Meeting votes
last December and again just last
Saturday. The Townspeople
demand that existing residents
with existing pollution problems
be sewered first before giving
our capacity away to housing
projects that do not even yet
exist The Sewer Commissioners
hear and agree. To their credit,
the Selectmen endorsed the
Sewer Commission Articles
voted last Saturday at Town
Meeting. So — why continue the
power grab? What's the agenda .'
One would think thai the
power grab sponsors would hav e
heard ihe public's message by
now — but apparently not and
continue to pursue this divisive
agenda. What exacerbates this
transgression is that they have
spent many tens of thousands of
our tax dollars and many hun-
dreds of Town hours, without
appropriate public disclosure
and debate, for "consultants",
legal fees. etc. One would expect
more fiscal sensitivity by these
officials when Cohasset is cop-
ing with tax increase overrides
every year.
You may see a Selectmen's
vote, between this writing and
Town Elections on Saturday, or
shortly thereafter, setting a date
for a costly. Special Town
Meeting as these officials try to
again mislead the voters to sup-
port these nefarious Home Rule
Petition Articles, which may be
the sole agenda. Such a vole was
obviously planned at a "sur-
prise" Selectmen's' Meeting this
past Monday bul was prevented
by those alert Selectmen who.
visibly upset, staled that ihe
meeting and any votes thereof
would be illegal given inade-
quate public notice of the meet-
ing as required by law. I'm cer-
tain that Selectmen Ralph
Dormitz.er and Fred Koed will
vote against this proposed
Special Town Meeting, and we
hope another Selectman will join
with them. The Sewer
Commissioners/other officials
also remain opposed to this
power grab attempt It's an
unnecessary, further waste of
taxpayer money!
What is most frustruiing to me.
as well as to other knowledge-
able citizens, is that we know
thai the development project
most desired by our senior group
can proceed without getting a
special sewer access ahead of
existing residents. The technolo-
gy exists! The environment
would be protected.
Environmentalists would
applaud. Town Counsel consis-
tently warns that a special sewer
access to an ineligible developer
would open a legal abyss for the
Town. However, the alternative
power grab is even more unac-
ceptable and ihe voters will not
tolerate it.
The developer stubbornly
insists that it be given sewer
access or it's a no-go. 1 have con-
cluded . after months of this
stubbornness and a closed mind
by the developer, that the major
problem is the developer and a
more qualified, flexible, open-
minded developer be brought to
thai project to start afresh. I sin-
cerely suggest which may have
already been initiated, that those
supporting seniors objectively
assess the situation, perhaps with
assistance of a qualified, truly
independent consultant, and
hopefully reach a similar conclu-
sion. There is nothing lo lose at
this point and everything to gain.
Even Ihe Sewer Commission
can gel on with their voter
approved tasks and Ihe divisive-
ness be ended. All for the best
interests of our Town. We truly
must work together lo insure that
this year does not duplicate last
year) including last winter!).

WHAT CAN YOU

ABOUT YOURSELF?
Well let's see. I think my dog

her wherever she wants to
go. On top of that half the
time. I think, she thinks,
she's the boss.
WHAT HAVE VOTERS
TOLD YOU IS THEIR
BIGGEST CONCERN?
Taxes and the affordability of
Cohasset. for both young
families and our senior citi-
zens
REASON FOR SEEK-
ING OFFICE: I moved to
Cohasset at the age of nine
years old in 1961. Growing
up here was one of the great
experiences in my life.
Swimming off Cohasset, and
lobstering early in the morn-
ing are vivid memories. I
have a unique perspective of
over forty-four years. I went
to school with everyone from
the fisherman's son, to the
attorney's daughter. In other
words, with people from
across a wide economic
spectrum. That economic
diversity is important to bal-
ance our children's view of
. the world as it really is.
My wife and I decided to
raise our family here and
J bought our first house in
1982. Both of our daughters
graduated from Cohasset
High School as I did.
Serving in town government
:has been a way to repay
>Cohasset for the opportuni-
ties I have had.
I Serving on the four differ-
[ ent boards I have been on has
;also given me an opportunity
Jto help people. Whether it
•was helping fix water system
-problems along Forest
Avenue and Jerusalem Road
or working to build 14 units
I of Chapter 689 housing for
the Department of Mental
Retardation. It has been an
opportunity to make a differ-
ence in people's lives.

want to be assured that their Town
government is being financially
responsible and professionally

REASON FOR SEEKING
OFFICE: 1 am a candidate for
Selectman because I believe we need
independent and engaged leadership
on the Board I am committed to
finding creative, responsible solu-
tions for Cohasset
I believe my background as an
attorney, my 6 years on the Advisory
Committee. 15 years of work on
environmental issues for the
ntal issues
Cohasset Conservation Trust and
many years of work with school and
community groups make me ideally
suited to pursue informed decisions
in the best interests of the Town as a
whole. I am an independent thinker.
As a member of the Advisory
Committee, I made decisions on
budgets and warrant articles only
after careful ansiderabon of all the
facts and opinions presented to the
Committee. I would bring the same
approach to the Board of Selectmen.
If elected. 1 promise to support
maintenance of services for all citi-
zens, excellence in education, devel-
opment of senior and affordable
housing options, openness and fiscal
restraint in budgeting, town-wide
wastewater solutions and responsible
development consistent with our
zoning by-laws and Cohasset's
unique character. Finally. 1 hope to
contribute to an improvement in the
tone of political discourse in town.
Cohasset deserves Selectmen com-
mitted to the community as a whole.
It's time for a new direction, laskfor

town, and to strive for housing
and tax affordability to retain
the economic diversity of our
people. As a selectman, I will
never lose sight of these goals.

Cohasset that was developed
with major input from the

Carroll running as a write-in
By Mary Ford
MFORDtfCNC.COM
Although his name is not on Saturday 's
ballot James Edward 'Ted" Carroll is
running for the vacant seat on the recre-
ation commission as a write-in candi-
date.
Carroll, 38, a lifelong Cohasset resi-
dent, served on the commission in the
mid-1990s.
He's also no stranger to recreation depart-
ments. He started working for the Cohasset
Recreation Department during the sum-
mers when he was still in high school and
later served as director of the Summer
Playground Program before being hired by
the Hingham Recreation Department
where he is program manager.
"It's time for me to give something
back again," Carroll said this week. "I'm
looking forward to working with (direc-
tor) Jack Worley again."
Carroll says he will be able to share
with the commission what he has learned
working in Hingham. where the recre-
ation department runs a successful fit-
ness center, has "open rec" times, and
has handled playing field projects.
Carroll, who graduated from Cohasset
High in 1984. is also involved with
recreation at the state level where he
attends conferences.
Carroll will fill the seat vacated by
Wallace St. John, who is not seeking
reelection Recreation Commission
terms are five years.

WHAT CAN YOU
LAUGH AT MOST ABOUT
YOURSELF.' My friends
find that when I am not dis-
cussing school issues that I
laugh quite a hit especially
about my creative recycling
WHAT HAVE VOTERS
TOLD YOU IS THEIR
BIGGEST CONCERN?
Lack of fiscal responsibility
and accountability that has
caused our real estate taxes to
be ranked ninth highest in the
state and inefficiencies in
school spending that has taken
needed funds from the class-
room.
REASON FOR SEEKING
OFFICE: It has been appar-
ent for years and verified by
the School Budget
Investigation Committee that
the school committee has had a
lack of oversight of the school
administration, almost non
existent monitoring of the
expenses and encumbrances
and an unwillingness to share
financial information with
other town boards and the pub-
lic. This attitude which led us
into our financial predicament
has to change. We must take
action and become equal part-
ners in the community. The
first step was taken at
Saturday's Annual Town
Meeting by the passage of the
warrant articles that I spon-
sored requiring month-to-date
and year-to-date reports to be
generated and shared town
wide.
By working together w ith the
new town and school manage-
ment and using the business
tools \oted at Town Meeting
we can expend our energies on
discovering creative solutions
to living within our budgets
while providing the best edu-
cation possible. With extensive
knowledge of recent budgets. I
want to be involved to insure
that all possible money is
directed into the classroom
where it belongs.
Childhood is precious and
we are only entrusted w ith the
children a brief moment in
time so we must provide them
with a strong foundation for
their lifetime of learning

WHAT CAN YOU LAUGH

SELF".' Humor, to me. is my tonic
for life. In reflecting on this ques-
tion. I keep returning to the humor-
ous fact (perhaps only to met that
I often talk out loud to myself. I
have been seen on numenius cecal
sims. in the past weighing a situa-
tion out loud, or cheering to myself
when I have accomplished some-
thing, as I have been deep in my
own thoughts. Often. m> response
has been to laugh! I believe thai
health), appropriate laughter is a
critical component of life.
WHAT HAVE VOTERS
TOLD YOU LS THEIR
BKJGEST CONCERN? Viners
are concerned about two things;
Fiscal Responsibility, and Quality
Education in Cohasset. Howevec
an inference that I have made from
listening u> people in our commu-
nity is that we have a need for bet-
ter dissemination and conveyance
of factual information around
issues, and better communication
to the community at large
REASON FOR SEEKING
OFFICE: As a concerned parent
and taxpayer in Cohasset. I have
observed a decline in the percep-
tion of the substance of our
schools. Class sizes have
increased, programs. Classes, aids
and services have all been reduced
or removed while our expenses
have escalated and funding has
been drastically reduced from the
stale. As a result i if these a warns,
many families have been lead to
consider alternate education tor
their children. The community has
become divided in its thinking
We have lost our sense of unit)
and purpose This is alarming to
me. I believe that il we IbCUS our
priorities on strengthening our
school system and teacher work-
force, keeping class sizes small,
managing our finances while
maintaining accept. ihlc levels ol

sage to our community, that we
care about our town's well being

ative and new ideas to the school
committee M) current and previ-
ous business experiences in

The Cohassel Police Department is sprucing up its fleet o f vehicles and three new cruisers purchased with money allocated at prior
Town Meetings have been painted with a design unique to the torn. Officer James McLean and Police Chief James Hussey
worked together on the designs. ' which will be on every new cruiser mming fonwnJ.
Police cruiser design is unique to Cohasset
cruisers from other towns when
coming up with Cohasset"s new
design and Cohasset 's new blue
is similar to the grayish blue
Nantucket uses. The gray
Cohasset stripe is similar to
Boston's police stripe. The let-
tering for the word •police" is
McLean's unique design, which
is white with a gray shadow.
McLean added in addition to the
new design, the cars have been
outfitted with new light emitting
diode, or LED. light bars which
are the latest in technology. The
older vehicles have strobe lights
which will eventually need to be
replaced, he said.
In addition, none of the win-
dows in the new cruisers are tint-
ed, which was a concern previ-
ously raised by residents.
Hussey said the new design is
exactly what he had in mind for
the department. "I've never seen
anything like it." he said.
"I think it came out really
nice." he said, adding he is going
to begin lix>king into entering
"best cruiser design" contests on
the department s behalf.

Chief James Hussey. who
came on board last summer, is on
a mission to return the police
department to community polic-
ing. One of the latest changes,
may be evident to those who
have seen the department's three
new cruisers that are sporting a
new friendlier look, exclusive to
Cohasset.
Past Town Meeting appropria-
tions allowed the department to
purchase three new cruisers. The
first arrived at the station in the
fall, and the other two arrived
within the last month, Hussey
said. Although the first cruiser
now looks like the other two. it
was essentially used as a "guinea
pig" during a irial-and-error
and were reminiscent of the
kinds of cars typical to the Los
Angeles Police Department,
rather than that of a small seaside
town on the east coast.
"We wanted to come up with a
unique design." for the Cohasset
cruisers, which was more reflec-
tive of the town's character, he
Hussey said coming to
Cohasset from Boston, where he
spent 28 years in various roles on
the Boston Police Department
he said his first impression of
Cohasset 's vehicles was that they
didn't fit with the community.
He said their black and white
design had a "west coast." look.
When the first of the three new
cruisers arrived this fall, the
department was not happy with
the new design.
"The first one came back really
awful." said Hussey. The design
featured a white car with a bright
royal blue stripe across the side
with white lettering for the word
•Cohasset" and gray and white
lettering for "police." inside the
stripe. The town's seal was also
printed on the stripe closest to the
front end of the car. "It stunk, to
be quite honest." Hussey said.
Knowing the design was still
not what the department had in
mind. Hussey decided it would
be best to go back to the drawing
board. That was when Police
Officer James Mclean stepped
forward and asked if he could
"lake a slab" al a new design.
McLean submitted three
designs to Hussey. "and we took
a little from here and there." said
McLean. With some fine tuning.
Hussey and McLean were able
lo w ork together to come up w ith
I final design.
"I'm even in favor of black
and w hite cruisers, and I like ihe
change." McLean said.

Rep. Bradley runs to raise money for autism research
By Sara Mason Ader
CORRESPONDENT
As a state representative,
Garrett Bradley is keenly aware
of the struggle Facing the rapidly
growing number of local fami-
lies coping with autism. And
recently, when a close cousin's
child was diagnosed with the
developmental disability.
Bradley challenged himself to
run the Boston Marathon in the
hopes ol raising awareness and
funds for autism.
Autism is the
fastest growing
developmental
disability in the
United States,
affecting up to 1.5
million children
and adults.
'The training is going well." he
says. "It's ga-ai because I get to
run along all the streets in my
district ." Bradley is hoping that
his run will help support pro-
grams and services for the
approximately 25 families in
Hingham and possibly as many
as 4IK) families in his district
(Hingham. Hull. C'ohassct and
North Scituatei affected by
autism.
Bradley's weekly training rou-
tine includes two shorter runs of
about 5 miles to 7 miles. On
weekends, he tackles a longer
distance. On Saturday he ran IS
miles in the rain.
So far. Bradley's effort has
raised about $5,000 and he
expects to grow that amount to
$7,000 before the marathon on
April 18. All of the money he
raises will go directly to the
Autism Center of the South
Shore, a not-for-profit organiza-
tion that provides programs and
services to parents of children
with autism.
Before that organization was
founded in 2001, families from
the South Shore had to commute
to Fall River or Dedham for ser-
vices and Support.
"It is very difficult to travel that
far on a regular basis w ith a child
with disabilities." says Hingham
resident Amy Anderson who
helped found ACSS. Anderson's
nine-year-old son Luke was
diagnosed with autism when he
w as 3 years old.
April is national Autism
Awareness month, and the state
of Massachusetts designates .i
particular day to discuss autism
issues in the legislature. This
year's Autism Awareness Day
will be on April 27. and
Anderson plans to he at the Stale
House that day as she has for
each Autism Awareness in the
past five years. Part of her ritual
for the day includes knocking on
state representatives' doors to
emphasize to them the impor-
tance of support for families of
About autism
• In the past Use years, the rate of autism is widely believed
to have increased to I in 166 births from I in 5(X) about five
years ago.
• Autism affects as many as 1 .5 million Americans.
• Dunne the iwiis. the incidence of autism grew at a rate of
172 percent, while overall disabilities increased 16 percent and
the US population grew I? percent.
• The worldwide cost of care and services for individuals with
autism is expected to balloon in 10 years to an estimated $300
billion from $90 billion a year.
• 90 percent of those costs are for adult sen ices.
• The cost of lifelong care can be cut by two-thirds with early
diagnosis and intervention.

marathon, which w ill he his first, to raise awareness and funds for autism
Of Bradley. Anderson say S
"He's always been very respon-
sive and has listened to what w e
have to say."
Autism is the fastest growing
developmental disability in the
United States, affecting up to
1.5 million children and adults.
The Autism Society of America
delines autism as a "complex
BfTectX an individual in the areas
of social interaction and com-
munication. Autism is a spec-
trum disorder that affects each
individual differently and to
varying degrees of severity."
Although manifestations of
the disability v ary considerably,
common characteristics can
include resistance to change.
and mixing socially, repetition
of words or phrases, and
tantrums. While no specific
cause has been found for
autism, scientists generally
agree that abnormalities in the
brain structure of function are
to blame. Researchers are
investigating links between
genes, as well as env ironmental
factors such as v iral infections.
metabolic imbalances and
exposure to chemicals. Links
between autism and vaccines
have received attention but
researchers have not found any
data to support a connection,
according to the ASA.
Autism experts agree that
early intervention is critical in
helping the children to reach
normal functioning levels of
behavior and social interaction.
Also, autism "like most disabil-
ities" affects the entire family.
This is why Bradley says he
believes so strongly in funding
groups such as ACSS that pro-
vide programs and services.
"The more services these
families receive, the more the
child can be drawn out.
Sometimes just a few w ords can
be a huge leap forward,"
Bradley says.
The state recently created an
Autism Division within its
Department of Mental
Retardation. However, the cur-
rent budget provides no funding
for the office Bradley says he
hopes this office will eventually
be able to provide a centralized
effort for families to get infor-
mation and resources, and also
to track the disability. But for
now. families must find the
"pockets of assistance" that
exist, such as ACSS locally
ACSS provides support
groups, music therapy, teen
groups, and swimming lessons.
The organization is run primar-
ily by parent and professional
volunteers who donate their
time and effort. Funding comes
partially through grants from
the slate but also through pri-
vate donations. Each y ear, the
organization sponsors a golf
tournament, which will lake
place this year at the Pembroke
Country Club on May 20.

Lady laxers win one, lose one
By Mark Goodman

Like their male counterparts,
the Cohasset girls lacrosse
team has gotten off to a 1-1
start.
The season opened last
Thursday with a nice 12-1 vic-
tory over Cape Cod Academy.
Senior co-captain Lauren
Rizzotti scored four goals to
pace a balanced Skippers
attack, which also featured a
solid all-around effort from
Mackenzie Holway (goal,
assist).
"Giving up only one goal,
there were obviously some
nice defensive efforts as well.
Head coach Torin Sweeney
said senior co-captain Miranda
Lanzillotti and senior Molly
Kirk led the way in that regard.
Goalie Joanna Hamilton made
seven saves in net.
"We moved the ball in transi-
tion well, and we trapped well
on defense," Sweeney said.
"We were able to use that tran-
sition to get a good number of
fast-break goals."
The coach said those transi-
tion opportunities went miss-
ing in Tuesday's 12-5 loss to
Scituate. Ri/zotti scored two
more goals, and Lindsey
Durkin scored a goal. Cohasset
was within three early in the
second half, and time of pos-
session was about equal.
The big difference, in
Sweeney's opinion, was
Scituate star Alyse Kennedy.
"She was just too much for us
to handle." said the coach. "We
tried to double team her and it
didn't help. She was still able
to find an opening."
Cohasset will be looking to
make its fifth straight trip to
the postseason. After finishing
a 10-9 season last year with a
loss in the first round of the
state tournament, Sweeney
says the team's biggest goal is
to make it farther into the tour-
nament.
Sweeney likes the balance of
his team, particularly up front.
Rizzotti is an obvious talent
who figures to tally around 50
goals this year. Holway, juniors
Lisa Spirito and Mia Lieb-
Lappen. and sophomores
Caren Garber and Cassie
Rosano. will all see a lot of
minutes on attack.

Down 6-2 going into the top of
the seventh and final inning,
Cohasset put three runs on the
board and had the bases loaded
with one out. That's where the
rally stopped, however, and the
Skippers fell, 6-5.
Cohasset head coach Al
Gallotta was left to rue the near
miss afterward.
"We were obviously a little dis-
appointed. We made a good
comeback, but we couldn't get
the big hit in the clutch when it
mattered." he said. "Overall,
though, I thought we played a

The sentiments of the
Cohasset and Hingham
girls tennis coaches
coming into their season-open-
ing match Monday could both
be summed up the same way
'Gee. what a way to start the
year.'
Indeed, this was not an easy
start to the season for either team,
as both figure to be among the
best in the South Shore. Cohasset
got victories from first and sec-
ond singles, along with second
doubles, to take home a 3-2 win.
Hingham head coach Deb
Boles said that despite the loss,
she was generally pleased with
what she saw Monday.
"I told my kids before the
match. 'I don't care if we win or
lose. I'm more interested in how
you handle the pressure on each
point.'" she said. "By and large. I
think they did very well."
Cohasset head coach Gigi
Meehan said she was expecting a
3-2 match one way or the other
heading in. and that she was glad
that her team started the season
with an opponent of Hingham's
caliber.
"I'd rather push our kids and
have them play a team that's
tough." Meehan said. "I would-
n't be surprised if it's 3-2 the
other way next time."
Winners on the day for
Cohasset were senior Elizabeth
Stone, junior Susan Curry and
the second doubles team of
junior Emilie Shea and freshman
Meg Anderson. Hingham picked
up victories in third singles from
sophomore Krista Vreeland
(playing her first varsity match)
and first doubles from senior co-
captains Jesse Hatfield and Alex
Hosea.
The team contest was decided
by second doubles, as that was
the only match to go three sets.
The Hingham team of senior
Leonie Roell and junior Liz
Whitney had a rough start, losing
the first five games and eventual-
ly dropping the first set, 6-2.
Roell and Whitney rebounded
in style, however, in the second
set. Whitney was firing strong,
accurate volleys from the base-
line. That and some strong serv-
ing from Roell led to a 7-5 sec-
ond set w in for the Hingham duo
Shea and Anderson would not
be denied in the third set. The
Cohasset duo jumped out to a 4-
0 advantage, on the power of
some powerful winners from
Shea at the net. Two strong
serves in the next game from
Anderson, including an ace,
made it 5-0.
The Skippers finished it off in
the next game, with Anderson
playing well at the net and Shea
hitting a couple blistering back-
hand winners.
Stone squared off against
Hingham star Meaghan Doyle in
first singles, and both lived up to
their billing in an exciting match.
Doyle jumped out to a 3- 1 lead in
the first set with some well-
placed forehands that had Stone
running all over the baseline.
The Cohasset senior settled
down during one of the first set's
between-game breaks and turned
the tables on Doyle with several
hard serves Once she got the

and soul of this team. She is def-
initely one of the toughest kids
I ' vc had in my 26 years of coach-
ing. For a girl to take three
charges in a game (as Gx>k did
against Framingham) is rather
astounding. She makes the team
go."
Lindsey Arria- Senior
(Capt)
Point-guard - Hanover
A four-
year starter
and Patriot
League
All-star.
Arria fin-
ished her
final bas-
ketball
season at
HHS in_
S I y I 6 ■ Lindsey Arria
bringing
the 12-8 squad back to postsea-
son play after an absence of sev-
eral years... Was the Lady
Indians' second leading scorer
with an average 9A points per
game, a little less than in year's
past, but only because the team's
offense was far more balanced
than in year's past... Arria was
the team's leader in virtually
every other category, averaging
six rebounds, live steals, and five
assists per game... A dynamic
presence and excellent leader.
Arria's coaches have referred to
her as being like an assistant
coach for their teams... Also a
soccer and softball player at
Hanover, Arria will reprise her
role as the starting shortstop on
the HHS softball team, which
has won the last two Patriot
League championships. Hanover
coach Katy Delaney: "Lindsey
was the overall leader on and off
the court. She's a fantastic athlete
and gives 110 percent in games
and practice. She's had a tremen-
dous impact on the program."
Jackie Burke - Sophomore
Guard - Hingham
One of those players who does-
n't put up the big point totals but
did just about everything else a
team needs to succeed. Burke is
making her first appearance on
the All-Scholastic squad... Just a
sophomore, this talented guard's
court presence is always seem-
ingly cool. calm, and collect-
ed... Always looks for the open
man first, but also knows when
to lake a shot herself... Was
among the team's leading
rebounders and steals because of
her aggressive play and defen-
sively, was about as good as it
gets... This Patriot League All-
star shined in several games this
season, but perhaps the brightest
in a 59^9 road victory over rival
Terri Duffy
Rockland, in which she tallied 1 1
key points. . .She helped pace the
Harborwomen (11-8) to an
appearance in the Div. 2 South
Sectional and 5-3 record in the
PL's lalent-loaded East Div..
tying Scituate for second in the
final standings... Was named to
the All-Tournament team for her
pacing her squad in the elite
Massasoit Hall of Fame tourney.
Terri Duffy - Junior
Center - Marshfield
It was I
just another
stellar sea-
son for this
talented
center... A
scoring and
rebounding
machine
for the
L a d y |
Rams,
Duffy led
the squad in
both categories again this winter
averaging 15 points and 12
boards per game... All this
despite drawing the bulk of
attention from opposing defens-
es... A two-time Old Colony
League All-star. Duffy's aggres-
sive play at the low post guided
the team to a trio of victories
over a solid Hanover squad and
gave OCL champs Bridgewater-
Raynham a run for its money in
a key league game... In the end.
the Lady Rams fell just short of a
tourney berth at 9-11 and fin-
ished 2-4 in the OCL... Also a
talented tennis player at MHS.
Duffy returns to that varsity
squad this spring where she will
likely be the No. I singles player
after a solid season in the No. 2
hole last year. . .She will return to
the basketball squad next winter.
Katelyn Stravinsky -
Sophomore
Forward - Norwell
As talent- ,
n
ed as any
underclass-
man on the
South
Shore... A
South
Shore
League All-
Star this
season.
Stravinsky
makes her
second con-
secutive girls basketball All-
Scholastic team. . .Led the league
in scoring at 22.4 points per
game. . .Perhaps her greatest skill
is her ability to finish; she simply
does not miss in the
paint... Scored a career-high 34
in a game this season against
Harwich... Also excels on the
glass and on the defensive
end. . . Had a remarkable triple-
double (31 points. 17 rebounds,
10 steals) against Hull... Can
also slick the three... Played
through hip and leg injuries at
the end of the season, and scored
24 points in the season-ending
loss to Cathedral despite seem-
ingly barely being able to walk in
between whistles... Has played
JV soccer at NHS the past two
years, and came out for the soft-
ball team this season where she
is starting at third base... Figures
to become the 1 2th athlete in
Norwell history to surpass the
1 .000-point mark next year; she
already has nearly
800. . Norwell head coach Bruce
Emerson: "She was always dou-
Lit
Katelyn
Stravinsky
ble and triple-teamed, and she
still got her points. She scored
against a lot of bigger teams, too;
she's just a really good athlete."
Shawna Carroll - Junior
Forward - Rockland
Making yet another appear-
ance on the All-Scholastic squad,
this talented forward just gets
belter with age... Was the sec-
ond-leading scorer on the
Rockland team this season with
an average 1 1 .5 points per game,
despite missing two games due
to il lness ... A member of the var-
sity squad since the eighth grade.
Carroll has amassed 735 career
points... One of those players
who can do it all. Carroll was
among the team's leading
rebounders and had her fair share
of steals, helping the Lady
Bulldogs win the Patriot League
West Div. (8-0) and qualify for
postseason play with a 19-3
record... Excellent at finding the
open man, Carroll also compiled
a great deal of assists with new-
comer Jackie Bohenek taking
some of the heat off her... The
three-time Patriot League All-
star also has a great 3-point
shot. ..Just a junior, Carroll still
has another year to play hoop at
RHS. Rockland coach Mai
Lannin-Corton: "Shawna is the
leader out there. She works so
hard on the court and wants to
win. She's going to step up even
more next year as a senior."
Jackie Bohenek - Freshman

comer is

The best
female
runner on the RHS cross country
team in the fall. Bohenek quick-
ly made her presence known on
the basketball court this win-
ter...The tall, long-armed, and
deadly quick forward emerged as
Rockland's leading point-getter
with an average 12.3 points per
game... The Patriot League All-
star revived the Lady Bulldogs'
transition game with her speed
and scored many fast break
points in the process... A solid
rebounder as well, Bohenek's
play in the paint helped
Rockland win the PL West Div.
title with an 8-0 record... She
helped guide the team to the
quarterfinals of the Div. 3 South
Sectional, where the team fin-
ished the winter at 20-4... Also
competes in the 400 meters for
the outdoor track team in the
spring and advanced to the New
England Championships as an
eighth grader... Bohenek will be
one to watch for many years to
come. Rockland coach Mai
Lannin-Cotton: "Jackie is just so
athletic. She has the ability to run
and her long arms give her great
rebounding ability. She can only
get belter."

Pinkus shoots down Falcons with 17 Ks
By Mark Good.
MGOODMAN4KNC COM
How do you spell Christina
Pinkus? Try Christina
Pinkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkus.
Count 'em, that's 17 K's. the
same number of strikeouts
Cohasset's sophomore lefty had
in her team's 5-2 win over
Mashpee on Tuesday.
Pinkus. who throws a fastball,
slider and curve, had all of her
pitches working on this day. She
had a no-hitter through six
innings, but the Falcons looked
as though they planned to start a
miraculous rally with a couple
hits and runs in the top of the sev-
enth and final inning,
Pinkus would have none of
that, however, striking out the
final two batters to pick up an
impressive win.
Skippers head coach Deb
Bostwick complimented her ace
for how she kept it together after
letting Mashpee back in the
game.
"Her composure was nice to
see. She was in control, focused
and real smooth out there."
Bostwick said.
The Cohassel coach certainly is
glad to know thai she has Pinkus
for another two years after this
one. a fact that is not quite as
pleasing for her counterparts.
"The Mashpee coach said 10
me after the game. 'She's a
senior, right?-" Bostwick said.
"When I told him she's just a
sophomore, he just said. "Oh
no.'"
Junior Erin Liddell led the
offensive attack for the Skippers.
going 2-for-3 with two doubles
and two RBI. Sophomore Laura
Campedelli also knocked in two
runs as part of Cohasset's four-run
first. Second baseman Virgina
Spofford set the table at the top of
the lineup, going l -for-3 with two
walks and two runs scored.
Freshman shortstop Anna
Hagerty also got on base a couple
times, including a double to lead
off the second inning.
Senior catcher Casey Anderson
"did a great job behind the plate"
in the words of her coach.
The girls opened their season on
Monday at home against South
Shore Christian. The visitors are a
very inexperience club, and
Cohasset won in five innings via
the mercy rule (a deficit of 1 5 runs
or more).
Third baseman Katie James was
one of many offensive stars on the
day for Cohasset, going 5-for-5
with two triples and two doubles.
Sophomore Virginia Spofford
started on the mound and went
four innings, giving up no hits and
striking out five. She did walk six.
but Bostwick said her pitcher set-
tled down nicely after some jitters
at the start.
"Once Virginia got going, she
was great," said the coach
Junior Emily Savage pitched a
scoreless fifth for Cohasset.
The Skippers faced a daunting
challenge yesterday in defending
South Shore League champion
and state title contender Abington
Games are scheduled this
Monday and Tuesday against
Carver and Harwich, respectively.

he said. "We need to get the ball,
settle it down and get into our
offense. We're running around
all the time, and il gels us tired."
The Sailors did a lot of chasing
in the first half, as Cohassel
demonstrated a patient offense
and worked the ball in and
around the crease area. It ux>k

Straughn finished last year

"I'm very pleased to say he's

Gallotta said of Zappolo. "It's
good to know we have a pos-
sible three-year starter at thai

Senior first baseman Jim
DeGiacomo and junior Chris
Bryan at the hot comer will
round out Cohasset's starting

Bryan was set to get the start

COASTAL STARS
April 8. 2005
Boys tennis starts
with three wins
MiteB
The first place STARS got a bye
in the first round of the playoffs.
Cape Cod won their first game 1-
0 Vs. Westwood in overtime and
less than 24 hours later, they
were in the quarter finals vs. the
Coastal STARS. When the battle
tested team from the Cape got off
the team bus at Hobomock arena
in Pembroke, they had a swagger
in their walk, a hot goaltender and
they were clearly unimpressed
with the 35-3-2 Stars. The STAR
studded cast of the Mite B team
thought their name was already
on the Stanley Cup. This proved
to be a mistake when the Cape
Cod team jump out to a 2-0 lead
over the STARS. At this point.
Declan Leahy called a team meet-
ing on the ice and then called on
his defensive core of Patrick
Graham. Jack Evitts. Joey
Kedfeam and goalie, Kal Maier.
to shut down the high scoring
offense from Cape Cod.
That solved the defensive issue
hut the STARS entered the 2nd
frame with a two goal deficit and
lacing one of the hottest goalies in
the league. Put your seat backs
and tray tables into their upright
positions because this game is
atom to take off! Triple B. Big
Bryan Bowman, set the tone
when he banged the boards and
crashed the comers. Sam Rice
displayed Terry O'Reilly style
hockey and Tucker Ambrose
showed finesse and speed. But
today's scoring belonged to the
smurf line - big things come in
small packages when you're
referring to the front line of Cu-Jo
(Curtis) Golden. Michael (TNT)
Lund, and Robert (talk quiet and
carry a big stick) Reidy.
At 11:09 of the 2nd frame
Golden received a pass from
Jteidy. who then crashed the net
and left the rebound for Michael
Lund - Lund buried his shot to
rdake it a one goal game! With the
s^ore 2- 1 and a crowd noise level
thpt matched the decibels of the
Lakers/Celtics 1983 Boston
Garden game, the STARS weren't
taking prisoners.
With 4:09 to play in the 2nd
period Brendan (Prime Time)
Evitts and Big Cat (Matt Doyle)
put enormous pressure on the
Cape Cod goalie only to be
denied on countless attempts. The
Cape team refused to quit despite
all sorts of adversity and worked
the clock down the close the sec-
ond frame 2-1.
To start the 3rd period the
STARS' coaching staff called on
the smurfs once again. When the
crisp passing combo of Reidy - to
Lund - to Golden worked their
magic. Golden blasted the tying
goal- five hole! With the game
lied, the STARS relied heavily on
great two way hockey from veter-
ans Jeffrey Powers, Declan Leahy
and Capt. Patrick Graham. In
addition to this, there was the
usual outstanding goal tending of
Kal Maier. The 3rd period ended
in a lie (2-2) and this game was
headed into over time.
Aiden Beresford and Brendan
Evitts put on a forechecking clin-
ic in overtime which help spring
Jeff Powers in the offensive /one.
Powers had a clean lane to the
goal when he was tripped from
behind and what should have
been a penalty shot, the referee
swallowed his whistle. This game
was not going to be decided on a
penalty. With 2:09 to play in over
time, Michael Lund won the face
off in the offensive /one. shifted
past the Cape Cod Defenseman.
head-faked the goalie and back
handed the winning goal! Game,
set. match - make that 36-3-2!
Next up for the STARS - NOR-
WOOD. The excitement for this
game should prove to be on par
with Game 7 of the Red Sox-
Yankees 2004 ACLS series, as 2
of the Stars 3 losses came against
Norwood. Wake the kids, phone
the neighbors, and call WEEI.
because this is going to be a
match made in heaven!!
Squirt CI
After finishing the regular sea-
son with an impressive 17-3-4
record, the STARS lost their
opening playoff game to Hanover.
Next up. the STARS laced a feisty
Pembroke Python team, desper-
ately needing a win. Playing in
front of a sell out crowd with an
electrifying playoff atmosphere,
the STARS scored early and
often. At 9:34 of the first period
Chase Sheldon carried the puck
coast to coast and fed a text book
pass to a streaking Jack Condon in
the slot. Condon whistled his sig-
nature wrist shot past the out
stretched Pembroke goalie. Then
at 4:56. Chris Lund dug the puck
out of the comer and made a bril-
liant pass to Jack Condon.
Condon then sent a "one timer" 5-
hole! Trailing 2-0 Pembroke
refused to quit and mounted sev-
eral aggressive attacks, only to he
shut down by tremendous defen-
sive efforts from Robbie Bertone.
Christopher Lund, Sam Asnaull
and Jason Tolman. The final line
of defense - the absolutely phe-
nomenal Mike Soucey playing
between the pipes, would not be
permeated. Soucey, having a
monster season (including 5
shutouts), knows hot goalies win
playoff championships. At 14:07
of the 2nd frame. Pembroke cut
the lead in half and the score was
2-1.
The STARS quickly regained
the 2 goal lead when Kevin
Friedland stole the puck in the
neutral /one. Friedland shitted
from left to right and sizzled a
lead pass to Jack Condon -
Condon lit the lamp for the 3rd
time when he rooted a missle for
his 4th career hai trick. Pembroke
was the "scary monster" that
wouldn't go away when, at 10:03
of the second period, they cut the
score to 3-2. The action was
iniense when veterans Max
Montgomery and Mark
McGoldrick played great two
way hockey and had several scor-
ing opportunities only to be
denied by an acrobatic Pembroke
nctminder.
The third period miiTored the
first two when Jack Condon
struck again, scoring his 4th con-
nective goal. Assists on the goal
were from Robbie Bertone and
Adam Haskcl. A relentless
Pembroke team wouldn't fold,
and with 8:05 remaining in the
contest Pembroke cut the lead to
5-4. At this poini Captain Brian
Craig put the final nail in the cof-
fin scoring the 5th and final goal.
Craig, the team leader and tap
goal scorer, finished the season
with impressive MVP credentials.
5-3 in favor of the STARS! Next
up for the STARS is a feisty
Norwood team on April 16. 6:50
A.M. at Pilgrim. Bring this article

Squirt C2
The Coastal Stars Squirt C-2
had a wild playoff game that
ended with the Siars on top 4-3.
The game started off with a
bang early with Duxhury heating
Star's goalie. Alec Hurd for 2
goals. Duxbury then had another
breakaway against Hurd when a
Duxbury player broke free from
the Stars defense. The player had
Hurd beat and the scorekeeper
had just about made the game 3-0
when Hurd dove to his slick side
and "stoned" the Duxbury player
going for his hat trick. That save
motivated the Stars
Coleman Herimn then broke
away from his defensive position
and scored first on Duxbury to
make the game 2- 1 Jack Kuppens
tied the score with time running
out in the second. The score
remained lied until an errant shol

SPECIAL TO THE MARINER
The 2005 Spring Jewelry
Preview at King Jewelers was
held Wednesday. March 23 as the
store hosted its second annual
Daffodil Days Celehration.
For several weeks, the store
had accepted orders for bouquets
of flowers from customers and
supporters. All money collected
through this endeavor was donat-
ed to the American Cancer
Society (ACS).
Children of all
ages chatted with
the pageant
winner sharing
efforts to help
others.
Guests and clients claiming
flowers were invited to a day
long preview of the season's
newest jewelry collections. An
atmosphere of warmth and gen-
erosity was evident as people
arrived to partake in the event.
The store"s showroom overflow-
ing with cheery daffodil blos-
soms evoked thoughts of spring
despite a bitter chill outdoors and
a weather forecast predicting yet
another overnight snowstorm.
Funds raised by this charitable
venture at King's far surpassed
the donations of the previous
year and would support pro-
grams of the American Cancer
Society. The ACS is available 24
hours a day seven days a week to
patients, survivors, caregivers
and family members of those
touched by cancer. Telephone
access, online information as
well as countless community
activities and services provide
referrals, comfort, direction and
guidance to anyone in need of
assistance.
While supporting the ACS.
guests at King's enjoyed the jew-
elry on view throughout the day.
The couture designs of Jarretiere.
an innovative and award winning
Italian jewelry collection were
presented by Michelle Termine
of Boston. Magnificent estate
jewels, ekdesigns Spring 2005
creations and a brilliant array of
fancy yellow diamonds dazzled
the guests.
Joining the Kings as hostess for
the afternoon was Alison Cronin
of Weymouth, Miss Teen
Massachusetts USA, and a high
school senior who will represent
the Commonwealth at the Miss
Teen USA pageant in August
Her presence at the event
launched King Jewelers' ongo-
ing theme that "Kids Can
Change the World." As a youth
"goodwill ambassador", Alison
\ isited with local youngsters
invited to the party.
Cohasset Scituate Weymouth
and Hingham were among the
towns represented by students
motivated by benevolence and
dedication. Their presence that
day represented appreciation for
the many ways they are involved

encouragement for them to con-
tinue along these paths. Children
of all ages chatted with the
pageant winner sharing accounts
of their efforts to help others.
Alison, a supporter of cancer
related charities and drug resis-
tance causes conversed with the
youngsters about topics such as
"Locks for Love", walkathons
for various causes and the
Cohasset Relay for Life. A donor
to "Locks for Love" herself.
Cronin had much in common
with girls growing their hair so
that it may be cut and donated for
the creation of wigs for kids in
need.
Relay for Life participants dis-
cussed their past successes and
their efforts to encourage other
kids to join them for the event to
be held this June at Cohasset
High School. "It's great to sec so
many kids involved in helping
people in the community." stated
Cronin.
King Jewelers plans to expand
its venture to encourage youth to
join in charitable projects within
the surrounding communities.
The day ended with a visit to
Cohasset Knoll to deliver daf-
fodils to the residents there. At
the event's conclusion, all
involved, young and old were
reminded by the joyful yellow
daffodils and the sweet aroma of
spring to keep hoping, keep help
ing and to believe in miracles.

By Constance Gorfinkle
SPECIAL TO THE JOURNAL
Twenty years ago probably no
one thought that Wellspring, a
small thrift shop at 814
Nantasket Ave. in Hull, would
one day emerge as a major multi-
service agency providing finan-
cial, educational and emotional
support to thousands in need
across the South Shore. Neither
perhaps, could one imagine
Wellspring becoming a commu-
nity center, where staff, volun-
teers, clients and customers, in
many cases, would form an
extended family.
That can be seen in the crowd-
ed aisles of the Thrift Shop,
where mothers with children in
strollers, men trying on warm
jackets and salespeople busily
accepting items from donors, talk
to one another with the ease of
old friends.
All that has come about due to
the vision of its founder, the late
Rev. Diane Edson of Hingham.
A strong advocate for those in
crisis and a tireless worker in
their behalf, Edson, most appro-
priately, has been honored by
Wellspring with a fund. 100 per-
cent of which goes toward pro-
viding immediate support for
qualified clients of the organiza-
tion who are in need of direct cri-
sis intervention. Last year, the
fund got under way with a hand-
some donation of $3,000 from a
couple within Wellspring's inner
circle. The organization then
reached out to businesses and
churches, which added another
$3,000, explains Executive
Director Vinny Harte.
A general appeal for this year's
Edson Fund will be launched
later this month. But two major
fundraisers - a Christmas concert
performed by the Broad Cove
Chorale and an appeal made by
Harte at an Old Ship Church
Sunday service - already have
raised $9,000 for the fund.
(Contributions can be by cash,
check or charge [Visa/MC],
made in person, via mail, over
the phone: 78 1 -925-32 1 1 . or on-
line at www.wellspringhull.org).
Sitting in Wellspring's spare
offices, through which staff
members pass as they go about
their vital tasks, one is buoyed by
the enthusiasm displayed by
Harte, who came to the organiza-
tion just a little over a year-and-
a-half ago after having run a suc-
cessful program that provides
housing for people with family
members in Boston hospitals.
A large, cheerful man with
graying blond hair, Harte has
continued the extraordinary
fundraising efforts of Wellspring
running glamorous, must-go-to
fundraisers.
Glamour, however, isn't what
comes to mind when one stands
outside the undistinguished row
of storefronts that house
Wellspring's offices and stores.
No splashy signs proclaim their
existence, no flashy window
dressings invite the passerby
inside. In fact, except for a few
people going in and out of the
thrift shop, there's little to indi-
cate the beehive of activity tak-
ing place behind those plain exte-
riors, as staff members, volun-
teers, clients and customers take
part in the daily work of
Wellspring.
That work includes running an
adult education program for
those seeking GED certificates
or high school diplomas, provid-
ing crisis counseling and com-
munity outreach, running a
domestic violence intervention
program, and manning a book-
store and food pantry, as well as
the ongoing thrift shop. Indeed.
Wellspring is a helping hand
that's always extended for the
main purpose of getting people
back on their feet. As its creed
states: Wellspring offers a hand
up. not a hand out.
Obviously, maintaining all
those programs costs money,
roughly $460,000 annually, a fig-
ure that only will grow with the
advent of Harte. who, in his first
year — assisted by the board and
consultants — identified new
areas of need.
"One was transportation; one
was case management" he says.
"Those already have been
adopted and accomplished."
Evidence of the former is the
blue-and-white van that sits in
Wellspring's driveway, a gift
from the Hingham-Hull Rotary
that has made possible a means
of getting clients to and from
their various programs.
Harte and his colleagues con-
tinue to look for different ways to
provide help. "In less than a
month, we're going to revisit
what we did and identify more
needs," he continues. "One of
those needs - that we know is
going to come up - is housing:
Do we want to be involved with
affordable housing? Do we want
to look at a safe house for women
in crisis? Do we want to look at
housing for specific populations
— single women, single men?
All that's on the table."
But the table can only be set
with great infusions of money.
Some of that comes out of cre-
ative collaborations with other
agencies, such as the Hull school
department, with which it has

partnered for educational pro-
grams. And it has been able to
secure many grants for particular
projects. But a good deal of
Wellspring's financial support
conies from individuals' dona-
tions, such as the 1473,000 raised
in a capital campaign that made
possible the purchase of its build-
ing on Nantasket Avenue.
But, of course, there's no better
way to raise money than to give
a great party or run a fabulous
event. For ingenuity in that area,
the Wellspring folks have few
peers. A long-running event is
Drowned Hogs, the annual
January swim in which hundreds
take part, including the intrepid
Harte.
Last year, the organization
added two new fundraisers to its
calendar: The Taste of the South
Shore — participated in by 26
area restaurants — which it
shared with the Hull Lil'esaving
Museum, raising in total
$14,000. and The Fashion Plate,
for which volunteers modeled
clothes from the thrift shop.
Early this month, another new
event was held, a wine-tasting at
the Atlantica Restaurant in
Cohasset. And, later in the year.
Wellspring will hold its most
ambitious fundraiser to date: a
dinner and auction at the River
Club in Scituate.
There will be 15 high-end.
very attractive items in the live
auction and 50 items in the silent
auction.'' says Harte. Some of
those already have been
promised, even though the
fundraiser is seven months away.
"We're hoping to raise
$40,000," he adds confidently.
Those plans sound grand and
should attract a large and gener-
ous crowd. But amid the fun no
one will forget what it's all for:
the single mom who will team
how to use a computer, the fami-
lies who will get rental and heat-
ing nasi Stance the holiday happi-
ness that will be enjoyed by those
who otherwise would have none,
the adult who will be able to fin-
ish his or her education, the OUt-
of-work man who will learn how
to land a job. the battered woman
who will find a sale haven.
Wellspring has become a bea-
con for those who need help and
those ului want to help, li s .i col-
laboration that benefits everyone.

Kids helping kids at Derby Academy
April 8. 2005
Page 31
By Carl Schwaber
SPECIAL TO THE JOURNAL
; In the mild afternoon sun on the first day
of April, some 400 Derby Academy stu-
■dents, teachers, and parents participated in
an all school walk-a-lhon, the culminating
event in this year's community service
: project titled "Back to Back: Kids Helping
Kids."
3 The students solicited pledges from fam-
ily and friends before walking multiple
"perimeters of a quarter mile course on
Derby's campus. The aim of this collective
effort was to raise funds to benefit Supply
Sacks and Children's Hospital.
Walk-a-thon
a big success
Supply Sacks is an organization that
provides duffel bags filled with clothes,
personal care items, school supplies, play-
ing cards, and more to children who have
been abruptly removed from their homes
due to abuse or neglect and placed into fos-
ter care without any personal possessions.
Students from Derby's Upper and Middle
Schools are combining their earnings from
the walk and other sources (jobs, chores,
etc.) to fill approximately 25 duffel bags.
In similar fashion. Lower School stu-
dents are pooling their combined earnings
to fill individual backpacks for young
patients staying at Children's Hospital in
Boston for an extended period. Backpack
items include books, crayons, stuffed ani-
mals, games, and activity kits. In all. about
I (XI backpacks will be supplied.
The Back to Back project is being spear-
headed by Derby parents Bev Koswick
and Emily Brown, both of Cohasset.
Media Forms Group has provided Derby
with the backpacks. VF Corporation has
donated 100 pairs of jeans.

Youth drinking
evident in break-in
One local teen is lacing seri-
ous charges following an
alleged break-in of the soccer
storage shed on Milliken Field
Saturday night.
Responding to a call from a
neighbor, police were able to
apprehend one ol the suspects,
a juvenile (meaning the teen is
under 17). Police do nol
release the names of juveniles
arrested.
Police Chief James Hussey
said alcohol played a role anil
likely emboldened the teens to
allegedly commit criminal
acts.
"It appears the break-in was
not motivated by an intent to
steal but by alcohol." said
Hussey. although Ihe teens did
remove some items, including
soccer balls and game shirts,
which were later found scat-
tered around the neighbor-
hood.
He said a call came in about
10 p.m. Saturday regarding
youths behaving suspiciously
on Milliken Field near the soc-
cer shed. Officer Edward
Bagley responded and talked
with the caller, who provided a
description of four white
males. Officer Jeff Treanor
and Sgt. Bill Quigley also
responded to the scene.
A neighborhood dog that
was barking led the to the
apprehension of one suspect,
who was charged with break-
ing and entering in the night-
time; malicious destruction of
property over $250; minor
possession of alcohol and lar-
ceny from a building.
"There is a possibility of
more arrests," Hussey said,
adding there were at least four
teens involved. He said he
believed the parents of the
juvenile who was arrested
have contacted the soccer club
to make restitution.
Hussey said the juvenile
smelled of alcohol and police
found beer cans.
"Alcohol and youth is some-
thing we have to do a lot of
work on." Hussey said. "It has
a negative Impact on the com-
munity; a negative impact on
the victim; and a negative
impact on youth.
"It's something we need to
get a grasp on as a community
and do everything in our
power to have a positive influ-
ence with the kids."
Hussey said he wanted to
thank the people around
Milliken Field who helped the
officers.

Harvard-educated
hedge fund manager
George Fontanills is an
Internationally
renowned best-selling
author, money
manager, and options
trading expert. After mastering all of
the methods and techniques the
wealthy use to protect their stock
market investments, he became a
pioneer in the teaching of options
trading strategies. A guest on many
national television and radio shows,
he's been featured in the Wall Street
Journal, Barron's, Red Herring, CBS
MarketWatch, and TheStreet.com. Mr.
Fontanills sports that rare combination
of academic acumen, in-the-trenches
options trading experience, and
phenomenal teaching skills. NOW,
in his award-winning workshop series
Optionetics', he brings his unique
stock and options trading system to
YOU. If you attend only one financial
seminar in your life, this must be
the one!
THE SECRET IS OPTIONS!
Options are an investment tool created many years ago by the wealthy to protect
their money in the stock market. Like the wealthy, you can ALWAYS protect
your investment in the market, up or down, if you know how to put options to
work for you. Optionetics' will give YOU that power!
Let's face it. For most people, buying stocks is a one-way street. You only profit if
your stock goes up. But many people are making money right NOW using options
to profit when stock prices go down. While you're watching your stock prices fall,
they actually see the value of their portfolios go up Why? Because they
exploit the power of options in their investment strategy!
IT'S ALL ABOUT LEVERAGE
The wealthy know how to get the same investment presence you have, but at a
fraction of the cost. You see, for every $1 ,000 you put in stocks, they only put in
$150 - $200 to achieve the same investment muscle. How? Because they use
options to leverage or control a stock rather than buy it, extending the power of
their investment dollar. That's how the wealthy play the stock market, without
the risk of actually buying the stock.
SO WHAT CAN YOU DO ABOUT IT?
Now, with Optionetics*. you can learn the same simple strategies and techniques
used by the wealthy to leverage their investment dollars using options, and put
them to work for YOU.
DISCOVER THE POWER OF OPTIONETICS®
For a limited time, you're invited to attend the award-winning Optionetics"
Workshop FREE. It will change the way you look at the stock market forever and
give you the tools you need to protect your investment the same way the
weathly do
• See how the rich think about stock market opportunities differently than the
common investor.
• Discover investment systems once reserved for the wealthy and the industry elite.
• Understand the market's hidden factors better than many current options
traders.
• Learn to control stocks without the risk of buying them.
• Discover more practical techniques for making money than you ever would
studying on your own.
• Use time-tested formulas in "real-market" option trades to make big profits
IMMEDIATELY.
• Learn options trading in just DAYS instead of YEARS.
• Control your financial future with proven moneymaking techniques.

c Sondheim'music
I "Company " — Stephen Sondheim's paean to per
— opened on Broadway 35 years
According to Weymouth's Michael Joseph — music director
Company Theatre's current production of the 1970
winner for Best Musical — the show remains as
when it premiered.
"With all the examination of marriage going on these days, this
is a perfect time for this show." Joseph explained by
recently. "There's a big emotional ride, provided by George
book and Sondheim's music that everyone will be able to relate to
in their own lives."
The story of Bobby, a 35-year-old bachelor whose friends are either
married or in serious relationships and whose own search for the per-
fect woman seems destined to remain open-ended is told through
some of Sondheim's best-known songs including "You Could Drive
a Person Crazy." "Ladies Who Lunch." and "Side by Side by Side."
Along the way. Bobby watches as his friends fight plan affairs, con-
nrnplate divorce and dull their emotional pain with booze and drugs.
Bobby wonders whether he will ever walk down the aisle, before
deciding there is no point to "Being Alive," if you're alone.
Joseph isn't alone on this production's creative team. He is joined
by directors Zoe Bradford and Jordie Saucennan and choreogra-
pher Sally Ashton Forrest. "This musical has 35 years of history, so
we have a lot to live up to, but our cast is an A+ group of South
Shore actors and performers who are more than up to the task,
including John King, Sarah deLima. Paula Markowicz and Ann
McCoy."
If anyotie in Company's company of "Company" goes up on a
line or lyric, they need look no further than Joseph.
'Tve known this show since the cast album first came out in the
1970s. I was in high school and I played the album so often that to
this day. my kid sisters know the words to every song." he says with
a laugh.
"Company" will he al the Company Tlieatre, JO Accord Park
Drive. Norwell. thnnigh April 24. For tickets and infomuuion. call

real star is its music.
Set in a modem-day
- _ recording studio where per-
i | formers have gathered to lay
down the ultimate Disney col-

directed, choreographed and co-conceived by Robert longhottum -

most popular Disney movies of the last 75 yogs, including one first
made famous by a parental pachyderm. In "Dumbo." the Ulle char-
acter's mother sings "Baby Mine" as a lullaby She isn't the only one.
"My mom used to sing it to me when she |>ni me to bed at night,
h's always been my favorite Disney song, retailed "On The
Record" cast member Kaitlin Hopkins by telephone recently "It's
such a lovely, lovely song with a heart-stoppingly beauutul arrange-
ment by David Chase for our show. It's done more as a torch song,
and given a more weighty treatment than it had in the men ie."
Hopkins. 41 . the daughter of acclaimed film and stage actress
Shirley Knight and known in her own nght for her work "ii
Broadway and the now defunct NBC-TV daytime drama " Another
World," says that the familiar Disney music is Died in new ways
w ithout sacrificing any of the original meaning.
"Our entire show features beautiful new arrangements, and
because the songs (including nine Academy Award winners fot Best
Song) are done out of context - and by real people and not animat-

DESTINATIONS
Sedona's Mii amo
By LAUREN BECKHAM FALCONE
SEDONA. Ariz. — So. here I was,
2.600 miles from my husband,
baby and a 10-inch snowstorm,
lying lace down on a massage table at
Mii amo spa. covered only in a very small
towel, trying to relax.
Breathe, li doesn't matter that you might
look like Frederfka Bimmel in "Silence of the
Lambs." Breathe. <T'he curling iron is not on.
Breathe. I wonder wh> Denise Richards and
Charlie Sheen really broke up'.'
This was going to be harder than 1 thought.
Bui I was on a mission, hv God. I didn't
board a plane i which I am loath to do), sit next
to Latka from "Taxi" (I swear, they had identi-
cal voices) lor almost six hours and drive two
more north from Phoenix 10 Sedona (Sedona is
annul hall wa> between Phoenix and Ihe Grand
Canyon) to remain uptight. Mii amo. a destina-
tion spa adjacent to the very popular
Enchainment Resort, is a respite tor the seri-
ously stressed out, myself included.
Sel among Ihe awe-inspiring red rocks of
Arizona's BoyntOO Canyon. Mii amo's
promise to guests is a "life-enhancing experi-
ence of achieving I transformation in physical
health, emotional well-being and spiritual
renewal."
Which sounded lo\el> hut I had one ques-
tion: Do the> ser\e wine?
Yes, and much more.
Mii amo. which is Native American for "can
I get a massage" — just kidding; it means
"journey" — is an exclusive destination
designed with the unique environment of
Sedona in mind. Stone walkways lead to and
from Ihe adobe, wood, indigenous slone and
brick main building and guest rooms.
The soothing sound of running water greets
guests al check-in and huge windows allow for
clear views of the buttes. Spa guests can relax
in one of 16 casilas (rooms) with private court-
yards and beehive fireplaces.
But outside the privacy of your room is an
equally contemplative selling. The outdoor
pool and whirlpool have a spectacular view of
Ihe red rocks and mountains. I spent most of
m\ dow n lime — when I was not gelling a spa
treatment — silling on a chaise lounge, drink-
ing in ihe sun's rays and ordering organic-
meals from Mii amo Cafe.
Okay — confession: I know I was here to
Mii unit's imlilimr /xiiil ami whirl/tool have a spectactdor view of the red rocks uiul mountains.
When guests arc mil in the pool many enjoy sitting an a chaise lounge, drinking in the sun \ rays
ami ordering organii meals from Mil amo Cafe
think ahoul m> inner self, to become one with
the sacred surroundings of Sedona. but can I
just say lhal the food was beyond delish .' From
sushi lo Asian chicken salad lo pan-seared
venison, every menu item had a breakdown of
fat. calories, sodium and olher naughly little
numbers, but was practically guilt-tree and
bursting with Oriental and southwestern fla-
vors. Nole to chef: Create a cookbook. Please.
Travelers can choose from ihree-. four- or
seven-night packages, with gratuities and three
daily meals included in the price. My ihree-
nighl relaxation vacation, packed with two 90-
minute and four 60-minuie treatments, began
Thursday night with a Milk and Honey bath
and massage. I was buffed with a honey scrub.
Ihen look a dip Into a hydrotherapy bath tilled
with — guess what? - milk and honey — for
30 minutes, followed by a 6(l-minute massage
on ihe table.
Alter all that I had the best night's sleep I can
remember.
The next morning. I began the day with blue
corn waffles, coffee and a shot of wheal grass
— when in Rome! — followed by a gathering
in the Crystal Grollo. considered Ihe heart and
soul of Mii amo.
The Iciva design of the Crystal Grotto, fea-
turing a skylightlike opening in the ceiling and
sun shining down on a crystal altar, is inspired
by traditional American Indian rituals. Stall
and guests are encouraged to come here each
morning (o set their individual intention for Ihe
day while breathing in some cleansing sage
(which made me a little asthmatic) and listen-
ing lo the high-pitched sound of a Wooden
object rotating inside a crystal bowl (reminis-
cent of a car alarm.)
My intention for the day was to embrace
meditation. Already I was on rocky ground.
Bui I rallied and look the Vortex walk around
the canyon, and it was one of the highlights of
the trip. Our guide was calming yei enthusias-
tic, explaining the sacredness of the canyon to
American Indians, the history of the area and
the awesome geological formations. If you
looked hard enough, they appeared human.
Our guide said the American Indians thought
so, too. which is why Sedona is such a revered
area. The lour was awe-inspiring, but may 1
suggest skipping the wheat grass shot? I felt
like I was burping up astro turf all day.
The rest of the day I speni ai the pool or in
treatments. I got the Blue Corn Vichy, a
scrub/rinse under seven showerheads. When
the therapist walked in wearing a waterproof
apron, pants rolled to his knees and a hose in
his hand, he looked more like /ookeeper about
lo give a rhino an enema lhan a relaxing
masseuse. But after a few minutes. I knew I
was safe. The treatment left me totally blissed
out.
Later during my stay, a nice woman gave me
a lymphatic drainage facial, "ihe answer for
puffy eyes and chin." It was fairly typical
facial fare, until she started pressing on my
neck to drain my lymph nodes. I didn'l mind,
but it's a strange feeling, so be warned.
Olher treatments I tried included Reiki ener-
gy healing, which 1 swear look me lo another
place; a Psychic massage, during which the
iherapisl rubbed me down while explaining
thai I carry so much tension in my back
because I don'i realize my inner core is strong.
The best session of all was the Ayurvedic
Herbal Treatment, a 90-minule serub. massage
and wrap. It's based on ayurvedu. a traditional
health-Care system of India lhal dales back
5.000 years and operales on the premise that
healih is achieved through an individual's
unique balances of energies or "doshas." The
blurb in ihe spa menu said after the treaiment I
would he "escorted to a lounge chair for a cup
of balancing lea and some time lo meditate on
the perfection of your life."
Indeed, I fell dosha-licious, and though I
myself wasn't quite perfect, Mii amo spa is as
close as it gets
Three-night spa packages arc priced from
SI. 650 to S2.K50 per person (depending on
when you travel and which accommodations
you choose). Included are all meals, lectures,
fitness classes and six treatments. For more

'See-through'
harbor fence
tops the list
By Samantha Brown
SAMBROWN«CNC COM
Warning u> keep ihe view, yel
being impeded by safety con-
cerns, selectmen were having
trouble finding a replacement
fence to be installed along
Cohasset Harbor. However, a
new alternative could be on the
horizon which will he both func-
tional and attractive.
Christine Player of Vine
Associates was back before
selectmen this week. The com-
pany is designing a new "'harbor
seawall-scape" for the town.
Player presented three new ren-
derings of fence treatments
drawn for the town's considera-
tion. Only one was completely
compliant with state building
codes and the other two — which
were preferable for the town —
would require variances: one for
the width of the spaces between
vertical rails that are too large and
the other for having horizontal
raifs akin to the rungs of a ladder,
which are similar to what is in
plate currently.
"It's somewhat
traditional and
allows people to
look out onto the
ocean."
— Selectman Ralph
Dormit/er
After viewing the new render-
ings and hearing what it would
take to receive a variance from
the state for a non-compliant
fence. Selectman Michael
Sullivan said the town wants
something which is as close as
possible to what it already has.
but that was proving difficult.
However. Player had contacted
some of her "architect friends"
and had found a fence that might
serve all of Cohasset's needs
while providing the safety
required by the state, if Ihe town
was willing to stray from the
designs which had been present-

Fred Koed may be the happi-
est man in town. The two-term
incumbent selectman received
a vote of confidence at the polls
last Saturday where he handily
won reelection for a third term.
"l"m surprised," Koed said
when the vote totals were
announced. "I've given up pre-
dicting elections, especially my
own.
"I felt good this
morning, doubtful
by mid-afternoon,
and by the end of

would win."
— Fred Koed
"I felt good this morning,
doubtful by mid-afternoon, and
by the end of the day - I had no
idea who would win." he said,
adding he appreciated the vote
of confidence and he looked
forward to tackling the issues
facing Ihe town.
Gary Vanderweil. a former
long-time sewer commissioner,
came in second in the three-
way race for two seats. He said
the election could have gone
either way.
"Any two out of three of us
might have won." he said. "All
three candidates had good,
active election committees and
it was an exciting run."

The school committee voted
to approve June 28 as the last
day of school for students and
June 30 as the last day for

Vstate company. Leggat buys and

Tidor for its own account and on

"This is a very exciting project and one
we're very enthusiastic about"
— Bill Gause. Leggat McCall Properties
The company has partnered with
many local organizations to com-
plete some high-profile projects,
including renovations to
Brandeis University, the restora-
tion of the Trinity Church in
Boston, and the expansion of the
Boston Children's Museum.
Senior Vice President for
Leggat McCall. Bill Gause. who
went before the planning board
Wednesday (April 13) for an
informal introduction, said he is
excited to be involved with the
project on both a personal and
professional level.
"My mom grew up in
Cohasset," he said, and his
grandfather Dan Cotton is cur-
rently a King Street resident. As
a result. Gause has been spend-
ing time in town his whole life
"Cohasset is a very desirable
community." he said, adding
however that senior housing is a
product that has been lacking. "I
think this is a great opportunity to
meet the needs of seniors that
may not have the need for a larg-
er home." he said. "This is a very
exciting project and one we're
very enthusiastic about."
The property was sold by CB
Richard Ellis commercial real
estate brokers for a total purchase
price of $17 million. Leggat not
only purchased the property, it
purchased all approved plans and
permits secured for the project.
Gause said the plans will be
brought up to the level of con-
struction documents, and every-
thing will be built in accordance
with what has already been
approved.
"We'd like to start construction
as soon as possible." said Gause.
which he believes will be this
summer. The company's goal is
to deliver units in the spring or
summer of 2006,
Along with inheriting the plans
and permits. Leggat McCall will
become (he new owners ol the
lawsuit filed by Cedarmere for
sewer access. The sewer com-
mission will not allow the project
to connect to the municipal sewer
due to capacity issues and the
fact the project is located outside
of the Central Sewer District.
Gause said the lawsuit is still in
effect. Until the lawsuit is
resolved, the project can move
forward as planned with an on-
site wastewater system which
was approved by the Department
of Environmental Protection.

Affordable units should 'count'
By Samantha Brown
SAMBROWNOCNC .COM
While there had been some
question regarding whether the
affordable portion of the
Cedarmere development com-
plied with state regulations and
could be "counted" toward the
town's affordable housing stock
— a recent Department of
Housing and Community
Development letter slates plans
will likely receive approval
This is good news for Cohasset
which is trying to get out from
under the slate's 40B require-
ments.
Chapter 40B is the state afford-
able housing law (hat allows
developers to skirt Ideal /oning
regulations in exchange for pro-
viding affordable housing
Cohasset is vulnerable to 40B
projects because it has so little
affordable housing by state stan-
dards, far less than the threshold
of 10 percent of its total housing
slock.
The state allows "local initiative" projects as

The state allows •"local initia-

The (own. via the selectmen,

for "Local Initiative Program

Cediirmere project.
Questions raised in the applica-
tion appeal lo answered
The DHCD had been con-
cerned the project's affordable

Oui-of-district special educa-
tion tuitions took center stage
during this year's school budget
process when it was found the
costs for two students, who are
not residents, were being charged
to the district because their legal
guardian lives in town.
A tight budget made for a
tough situation for the school
department, which was being
asked lo pay $195,000 in com-
bined costs for the students.
However, the matter is working
its way toward a resolution, due
in large part to the guardian
involved in the cases, George
Marlette of Rustic Drive.
Marlette served as Town
Moderator for 12 years, making
him somewhat well known
around town.
A longtime resident. Marlette is
an attorney who specializes in
fiduciary law, which is the reason
he has chosen to serve as
guardian for many young adults
with special needs over the years.
He says he does all the work pro
bono.
Marlette said this is the first
time the tuition charges for one
of his wards have been forward-
ed to Cohasset. He said in the
past, the town where the student
was living picked up the cost. In
fact, he said he served as
guardian to a young man who
moved to at least three different
towns during his guardianship,
and the charges always went
with him.
In his opinion, Marlette said
the issues which arose in
Cohasset are the result of a mis-
interpretation of the Department
of Education Special Education
Regulations, and its understand-
ing of the term "guardian."
"1 didn't know the regulations
would be interpreted this way."
he said.
While in most cases, a
guardian is someone a child lives
with. Marlette said guardianship
can take many shapes and forms.
"There are all types of authority
and I've held them all," he said.
In his opinion, the way the regu-
lation was interpreted in
Cohasset 's case assumes the stu-
dent lives with Marlette. which is
not the case.
Marlette is currently the
"guardian of the person and
estate" of a young woman who
resides in a rehabilitation facility
in Brockton. In 2001. the

Former Tow n Moderator George Marlette. left, congratulates newly elected Town Moderator Dan
Evans alter election results came in Suturtlay night. In an Interview this week. Marlette. who Li an
attorney, explains his role as a legal guardian for a young woman with special needs and the
effect on the school budget.
woman, who at that point lived
in Norton, sustained a head
injury in an automobile accident
which changed her life forever.
When the woman turned IH.
she was legally considered an
adult, but Marlette said she does
not have the full capacity lo
make decisions for herself. The
young woman's parents had
divorced and both were seeking
custody, and when it was deter-
mined they could not come to an
agreement. Marlette was
appointed by the court to serve as
her guardian.
"I accepted the appointment
not having the slightest inkling it
would affect the town," he said,
adding "The court needed to
appoint someone to make legal
and financial decisions, and I'm
considered an expert."
Marlette said part of his role is
to work with the treatment center
as well as the parents to come up
with the best educational plans
and therapeutic treatments for
her.
A second case of guardianship,
which Marlette has recently
stepped down from, involves a
young woman who is residing in
a mental health facility. Marlette
was serving as her guardian in
order to establish a trust for her
and complete her estate plan-
ning.
Marlette said it has been frus-
trating to hear about the charges
as a problem that "has come up
at the I Ith hour." as well as the
many rumors around town. "Not
only is a lot of the information
erroneous. I've taken steps that
have saved the day." he said.
Marlette said he tried more
than one year ago to bring the
matter to the attention of the
school district when he heard
rumblings that charges related to
his situation may fall on
Cohasset's shoulders.
Marlette said he tried to contact
former Supt. Edward Malvey to
tell him about the situation and
its potential problems. "But
throughout his entire tenure, he
never relumed my phone calls."
Marleiie said. From there,
Marlette went lo the special edu-
cation office and said he did
receive a call back from former
Director of Studeni Services
Karen Walls, and he had
assumed ihe matter was going to
be cleared up.
However, the Department of
Education charged Cohasset and
sent the school committee inlo a
panic. "I was surprised at how
little information the school
committee had." said Marleiie,
adding once he sat down with
former School Committee
Chairman Rick Shea and
explained the situation, he as
well as Supt. Denise Walsh were
very helpful in trying lo bring the
matter to a resolution.
Since then there has been much
correspondence between the
town and the stale, and Marleiie
has used his legal expertise lo
help ihe town with its case. He
said he stepped down from his
position as guardian in order lo
help the town in the case of the
young woman in the mental
health facility. He said Ihe role he
played in her case was strictly as
financial planner, and any oiher
lawyer could have done the job.
The judge said in this case, the
Department of Menial Health
will be responsible for paying for
the woman's treatment, which
would have cost Cohasset
$10,000.
However, in ihe case of the
woman with Ihe more significant
needs, Marlette said he knew he
would not step down from serv-
ing as her guardian as it would
not be in her best interest. To
remedy ihe situation, he filed a
motion to appoint her father as .
co-guardian of the person, which !
will give him some level of
authority, although not as much
as Marlette. It will however put !
the charges for her treatment, ■'.
which total $185,000. back on
Ihe town of Norton, which is
where Ihe woman grew up and '•
was living at the lime of Ihe acci- '.
denl, and is where her father »
lives now. "She's never even I
been lo Cohasset." Marlette said, f
Marlette said he has been told a '
ruling will soon be made official I
that ihe town will not be charged
for any prospective or retroactive
costs associated with either of the i ;
young women. The town has noj
and will not be responsible fof
paying for either student, he said.
Marleiie said in addition, he has •
been informed thai the Board of '
Education is changing iis regular
lions as a result of the case in »
Cohasset. which could be done
as early as May. Cohasset's case
has grabbed the attention of ihe
stale legislature as well, he said. .
As a result of the likely favor- '.
able outcome for the town, the '
school committee was able lo
reduce its budget by $195,000.
therefore decreasing its request-
ed override to $400,000.

'See-through' harbor fence tops the list
FROM FENCE. PAGE 1
ed to date.
She said a cable rail fence with
vertical steel cables, which
against a seascape are almost
invisible, could be the answer.
The posts can be made of a vari-
ety of materials and can be paint-
ed various colors and will be
highly visible, but the cables
between the posts will look like
open space while providing a
barrier.
"It's somewhat traditional and
allows people to look out onto
the ocean," said Ralph
Dormiuer who liked the new
fencing.
Player said the cost for the new
fence would be comparable lo
the fencing options the town had
looked at before, which would be
roughly $150 per foot to install.
When it is all said and done.
Player said the project would
cost the town roughly $45,000.
Dick Karoff, 19 Border St.,
said he would like to see a ren-
dering of the proposed fence
presented to the public to give
people a real feel for what it will
look like.
Sullivan took that idea a bit
further and asked Player if
she would be able to bring in
two sections of fence to be
put on display at Town Hall.
Player said she would make
some phone calls, but the
Player said if this is the direc-
tion the town wants to go in,
variances will not be needed
and construction can begin in
the fall. That would mean the
project would go out to bid this
summer and construction
would begin after Labor Day,
providing there are no objec-
tions from the conservation
commission.
"This fence would avoid a
company is based out of
California and it may cost long process," she said,
money to obtain samples.
Flash back: The fencing
along Border Street is taking
center stage because the sea-
wall and walkway that run
along the harbor from the
Atlantica parking lot to tlie
Mill River Marine Boatyard
site need to be refurbished.
Pedestrians Iteavily traverse
begun Uifall apart. Temporary
repairs were made to the sea-
wall in the 1990s but more
needs to be done. Past Town
Meetings appropriated a total
of $40,000 for studies and pre-
liminary engineering and
design; last fall's Dec. 6 spe-
cial Town Meeting appmpriat-
the walkway along the top of ed $600,000 for final engineer-
the stone seawall, which has ing, design and repair.

"SHE THINKS I'M
FUNNY AGAIN"
I used to really crack her up with my jokes. But, over the years, my comic routines
seemed to get a little tired with her. She did ask me to repeat a lot so we went to Mass
Audiology for a free hearing test. Before the exam, they asked her lots of questions.
Come to find out, she was having trouble hearing a lot of things! Who knew that she
couldn't hear my great punchlines? Now, she hears great! And. I seem to be funny again.

'Our Town'
is a hit
Election night hasn't been this exciting in years.
When you think about it. April 9 could have been a real "yawn""
with only two races lor public office and no override on the ballot.
But on the contrary, the turnout at roughl) 43 percent, was pretty
good. Admittedly, a small percentage of thai nun have been due to
a handful of uniformed voter* who came to the polls drinking there
was an override question but. nevertheless, the) participated and
that's a positive.
The •frosting on the cake'" lor us as tire polls closed Saturday
night was the live coverage pmv uied hv the "( )ur Town" learn:
hosts. Kit Martin and Mark DeGiacorno, and Den) St Jim
Schwantner. who wort behind the cameras.
What a wonderful thing!
We can't think of another tow n in the area that can boast "play -
by-play" coverage on election night. In Cohasset live TV coverage-
was a regular occurrence during the 10 years that Wigmore Pierson
hosted "Pierson to Person.*' W hen "Wig"" decided to call it a day -
his absence from our TV' screens created a real vacuum Pm not
sure we realized the gilt that pmgram was until we no longer had it.
Now. Our Tow n has picked up the baton. The new local, cable-
TV program pmvided an invaluable service this election season by
inviting all the candidates to appear in die weeks leading up to
April 9 and answer some pretty tough questions.
The pn>gnun"s hosts and camera crew - who are all volunteers -
were at Town Hall on Saturday as a crowd gathered to hear the
results. Tlx.' w rite-ins lor the recreation commission delayed tilings
for about on hour, si as good TV personalities alw av s do. Mark

ing yours truly I to the micmphone
It was fun and we all owe Our Town a big "thank you" for the
energy and enthusiasm, the show has put into flic election and
Town Meeting, which the pmgram also covered live.
We also want to thank George Marlette lor his years as moderator
and for being such a huge pniponent of "live"" local cov erage.
Too often "media" is a catch-all word encompassing everything
from supemiarkct tabloids to "bloggers" on tlx' internet to the
entire spectrum of talk radio.
We're pnxid to he pan of the "local" nxilia that now includes
Our Town.
In a related matter, we'd like to thank tlx" caixlidatcs who partici-
pated in our Question of tlx* Week. It s a service we sLirled about
15 years ago. That year Ellen Clark, who ran for library trustee,
was the only candidate who answered our questions and he lost!
Nevertheless, we stuck w ith it and can proudly say here at the
Cohasset Mariner, we've had 100 percent participation from candi-
dates in contested races ever since.
We congratulate those who won or lost in Saturdav selection. We
hope Debbie Shadd. candidate for selectman, and Lee Jenkins,
who ran for the school committee, w ill continue to stay involved.
They both ran excellent campaigns, and judging from the number
of their voles, a lot of people liked what they had to say and
believed they eixild make a difference.

To thh Editor:
Congratulations to Fred Koed and Gary
Vanderweil on their eleetion to the Board of
Selectmen. I wish them success as they con-
front the many difficult issues facing the
Town.
1 want to thank the citizens of Cohasset for
their support of my candidacy. Although I fell
short on eleetion day. I enjoyed debating and
discussing the issues with the many towns-
people I met during the course of the cam-
paign.
Thank you also to the organizers of two
wonderful Town election traditions, the
Beechw(xxJ Church Election Supper and the
Luncheon at the Council on Elder Affairs, for
pmviding a forum for the candidates to meet
voters.
I am grateful to Pat Martin and Mark
DeGiacorno and their crew at Our Town
cable TV show for sponsoring the
Selectmen's debate this year, and to the
Cohasset Mariner for pmviding a forum for
written debate on the issues.
Finally. I would like to thank my campaign
chairman. Sam Pease, my treasurer. Nan
Roth, my entire campaign committee, and
the many other wonderful supporters who
worked tirelessly on my behalf.

to the Editor:
Kudos to Police Chief Jim Hussey for his
column on pedestrian safety. Here are some
comments: there are three kinds of pedestri-
ans:
• The first kind walks or jogs on the left of
the road, facing the traffic, as recommended
by the authorities. They can see oncoming
traffic and take evasive action if a vehicle
seems threatening
• The second kind walks or jogs on the
right, back to oncoming traffic, blissfully
unaware that some drivers have poor vision,
are under the influence, are easily distracted,
are talking on their cell phone, may be
blinded by the sun or (at night, by oncoming
lights), may be poor judge of side clearance,
are inclined to pull to the extreme right
when faced with an oncoming vehicle, etc.
A few compound the risk by walking or jog-
ging in the dark while wearing dark cloth-
ing.
• The third kind . a variant of the second,
walks or jogs on the right, back to traffic,
but senses that this is unsafe. Some keep
glancing nervously behind them, but
haven't the cognition to figure what to do
about it (which is to cross over to the other
side, and walk or jog facing the traffic)
The first kind benefits from the fact that
their faces are more noticeable to oncoming
drivers than are the backs of those who walk
or jog on the right with their hack to traffic,
and of course they are in a position to see a
threat from an oncoming vehicle and to do
something about it. But it is the second and
third kind that generate the most statistics
about injury and fatality.

Tree flagging along the right-of-way
MAKING TRACKS
Tom Grubk & Mark Brennan
1 fft
News Hash — On Priday, April 7 the MBTA noti-
fied the Town that it was going to begin flagging
trees along the right-of-way taHnediately. This is in
preparation for the cleari*f that will follow.
Originally, the MBTA was going to wait until May
I for tree marking, since the* cannot do cutting in
most of Cohasset until after At Spring vernal pool
season ends. By marking the right of way trees now,
rather than waiting, the MBTA gets a jump on the
marking process. Tree clearing will not begin until
after May 1.
Remember, the way in which the MBTA will
murk the trees is very different from what you might
expect. The flagged trees, marked with black and
red plastic tape, will not be cut Only the trees in the
right-of-way between the flagged trees will be
removed. So. if trees that you believe are on your

Mack and red plastic tape, will
not be cut. Only the trees in the
right-of-way between the 1
trees will be removed.
property are flagged, that's OK - they are on your
property and will not be cut.
In the same vein, at each railroad crossing the trees
and underbrush will be removed in a wider swath
for increased visibility. It is very important when
cars approach each grade crossing that drivers are
able to see clearly down the tracks as an added safe-
ty measure. So. when the MBTA does mark the
areas for clearing, the width of the clearing will be
much wider at the crossings than at other places
along the right of way. This will affect all residents
with properties adjacent to a railroad crossing.
If you have any questions after the trees are
flagged, or for any other reason, please give us a call
or send an email to us.
Town parking lot — You have probably noticed
that the MBTA's work to excavate and document
the 1 800's vintage roundhouse / turntable has been
complete for several months now. However, the
area has been only temporarily backfilled.
Unfortunately, the spring rains have not been kind to
the backfill and there are numerous ruts. When it
rains it gets very muddy. The dirt from the area
washes over the balance of the parking lot and
makes the whole area look awful. It doesn't make
much sense to have the DPW sweep the Id know
. ing that the next rain will only mess it up again. We
have asked the MBTA to at least do a temporary
paving job. We hope to have this resolved shortly.

HEALTH NOTES
The flu and other potential threats
By:
SP£CIAl TO THE MARINER
As a part of their effort to protect citizens from the
common flu strains, the Center* for Disease Contml
and Prevention (CDC) is trying to determine what it
would take for the avian flu ID become a super bug
that could kill millions of people.
According to Betsy McKay of the Wall Street
Journal, the Atlanta-based agency has launched a
series of risky experiments to simulate the mixing
and matching of genes from the H5NI avian flu
virus that public-health experts fear could turn avian
flu into a pandemic, and H3M2, a common human
flu virus, the strain behind most recent human flu
outbreaks.
In a laboratory even more •cure than the CDC's
anthrax labs. CDC saentistt »rjpe to find out how
dangerous such a so-called Wfcsortant virus might
be. Many health authorities say that an outbreak of
flu similar to the Spanish (M pandemic in 1918.
which killed over 45 million people worldwide, is
only a matter of time.
Flu is only one of the threats to our town. It's been
noted that over 40,000 aircraft fly over Cohasset per
year in a flight path from Logan. It is estimated that
a breach in the earthen Aaron River dam would
cover North Scituate waist high with water. These
threats, and those like the Blizzard of '78. although
remote are not sufficiently rare that they can be

Accordingly, the Town has an Emergency Plan.
Oh. yes. the Emergency Plan. What's happened to
the emergency planning that was so important and
touted after September II? Well, like most prob-
lems, the solution for which has been to throw
money at it: we've seen posturing, politicking and a
paucity of progress.
The State supplied us with several enormous doc-

have dutifully responded and placed these docu-

off for towns like Cohasset, officials in Town need
to use a small amount of time to consider what
actions are needed in an emergency and how they

With the Town Meeting, and the recent elections,
a number of agencies in Town have been pro\ ided
with new leadership. Now is the time for all orga-
nizations to respond with more enthusiasm to the
Town's potential needs in the event of an emer-
gency. An example of where more attention is need-
ed is defibrillators. Some defibrillators have never
left their shipping canons and a program for Town-
wide training to use them is not in place. Nor has
any listing of defibrillators been circulated. Also,
attendance at emergency preparedness meetings has
been sporadic, and delegate response to attend has
not always been forthcoming.
It's not a huge effort to identify a preparedness
network and put it in place, and the payoff may
never come. But it still needs to be done, just in
case.

"-ast year, the historical com-
mission presented the bylaw to
Town Meeting as a non-zoning
bylaw. The bylaw is similar to
currently in place in
Hingham, which can put plans to
demolish a structure on hold for
six months to allow time to con-
sider whether a building can be
restored and see w hat other alter-
natives to demol ition are avail-
able. However, after some dis-
cussion, voters chose to stop dis-
cussion and indefinitely postpone
the article w hich would allow it lo
be brought hack in the future.
This year, the bylaw was on the
warrant as a citizens' petition, and
as a zoning, rather than a non-zon-
ing bylaw, to allow the Building
Inspector to legally enforce it.
However, discussion yielded
essentially the same results, as the
April 2 annual Town Meeting
defeated the article.
Proponent. Rick Swanhorg of
the master plan committee,
reminded voters that 75 percent of
those who responded to a surv ey
sent out by his committee said
they "strongly agree" historic
buildings should he protected. He
also said the train will add to

The Historical Commission had
intended to submit the article
again this yew but when the citi-
zens stepped forward, the com-
mission found it was not neces-
sary to present an article because
they both intended to accomplish
the same goal.
Nathaniel Palmer, a proponent,
said the bylaw would only stop
demolition for a time to encour-
age homeowners to work w ith the
historical commission to preserve
(he structure.
" Just as the name implies, this is
a delay. " he said. While demoli-
tion is on hold, the historical com-
mission can inform owners of the
benefits of preservation, including
receiv ing ta\ credits, he said.
Peter Pratt said the majority of
the planning board recommended
the by law as well
"It's time to start thinking of
protecting our historical assets
outside the common district." he
said, adding right now. any home-
owner -Can take anything and

Monday morning."
However, planning board mem-
ber Bob Sturdy, w ho represented
the minonty vote of his board,
said he and chairman Al Moore
believe. "This is well-intended,
but it's a real burden to the home-
owner."
"If you own a piece of property,
you have the rights to it." Sturdy
said.
Sturdy said this year, his house
will rum 100 yean old and he has
lived in the house for one-third of
that time. He said one of the pre-
vious owners of his home was
lined on the social register at one
time in Cohasset "Is that histori-
cally significant? 1 don't think
so." he said, but the bylaw leads
itself to interpretation. "This cre-
ates a problem, and it's unneces-
sary delay and obstruction." he
said.
However. Palmer said the
bylaw is not intended to "Put any
undue burden on a homeowner."
and said "Most people who own a
historic home know it"
"We're looking to avoid tear-
downs without notifying anyone
but the building inspector."
Palmer said.
Murray Campbell. 75 Old
Pasture Road, said while he sup-
ports the article, he believes
Sturdy has a good point. "Not all
100-plus homes are significant.
In fact, some of them are just
junk." he said.
However. Don Evans, 72 North
Main St. said. "I do believe it's
well intended, but we all know the
road to hell is paved with that "
Evans, who lives in an older
home. said. "We don't contem-
plate taking our house down, we
love it. that's why we're there."
but added he doesn't think it is
sound policy to have a bylaw like
the Demolition Delay bylaw in
place.
Nan Roth. 7 Highland Ave.,
agreed with Evans and said in the
end. if a homo-wrier wants to tear
down their house, they can do so
after six months, and said she
doesn't see how the bylaw would
accomplish anything "except
costing the homeowner money."

Earth removal and zoning
definitions are not usually high
on the list of sexy subjects.
But that wasn't the case at the
April 2 annual Town Meeting,
when debate over two pro-
posed zoning amendments
raged on for roughly 2-1/2
hours.
At the crux of the issue,
according to the articles' pro-
ponents, is the preservation of
Cohasset 's small-town charac-
ter which is being forever
changed by
"McMansionization."
But opponents, who ulti-
mately prevailed, saw the arti-
cles as adding unnecessary
complexity and bureaucracy to
the zoning bylaw.
Mark DeGiacomo. 59 Beach
St., one of the citizen propo-
nents, said the combination of
high land value and one of the
least restrictive zoning bylaws
in the area have resulted in
land being built on that "no
one ever thought would be."
He noted with more sewer
projects and the Greenbush
train coming through town,
development pressures would
only increase.
"The face of Cohasset is
changing." DeGiacomo said.
"If you care about the charac-
ter of the town. I ask your sup-
port for this narrowly drafted
bylaw that is minimally restric-
tive."
DeGiacomo pointed to a
mailing by developer David
Walsh, who is trying to build a
home off Beach Street, as an
example of an out-of-town
developer "who doesn't love
Cohasset for the reasons we
love Cohasset."
He explained the new bylaw
would only affect two areas:
the building of a residential
home on a vacant lot and tear-
ing down an existing home to
build a new one. it would send
Earth removal, land clearing and alteration bylaw
77k bylaw sought to regulate clearing, grading, and earth
renwal associated with residential dex'elopment
• by restricting the amount of the lot that could be cleared
• by limiting the amount of excavation of soil, gravel or ledge
• by preventing alteration ot exposed ledge lace
• by restricting the amount of elevation change due to filling
those projects - if they exceed-
ed certain limits - to the plan-
ning board for a special permit.
That way. the abutters would
have a chance to weigh in early
in the process.
DeGiacomo said this bylaw
would help prevent situations,
such as 3 Jerusalem Lane - a
huge house that replaced a
ranch and dwarfed other
homes on the street.
He said the bylaw would not
affect a homeowner who wants
to blast ledge, fill or grade, or
put an addition on their exist-
ing home. It would also not
affect commercial buildings.
"That's it - it affects vacant
lots and rebuilding of tear-
downs." he said. "We need to
adjust the bylaw with the
times."
But opponents said the word-
ing was too vague and would
add unnecessary regulation.
While a majority of the plan-
ning board supported the arti-
cle. Planning Board Chairman
Al Moore and member Bob
Sturdy did not. Moore said he
didn't feel comfortable with
the bylaw and thought it might
"have unintended conse-
quences."
Woody Chittick. chairman of
the zoning board of appeals,
said the language was too
vague and that bylaws need to
be "terribly precise."
"This is solving a problem
with a baseball bat that could
be accomplished more deli-
cately." he said.
A majority of the advisory
committee agreed with
Chittick but selectmen sup-
ported the article 4-1.
Tom Callahan, a former
selectman and conservation
commissioner, supported the
bylaw change.
"There's no such thing as a
perfect bylaw." he said. "This
would not stop development.
This will result in better pro-
jects."
Opponents expressed worry
they wouldn't be able to take
down trees or build a garden
without a special permit from
the planning board.
Diana Kornet said the special
pemiit would be triggered by
removal of 10 cubic yards of
soil - roughly the size of a 9-
foot long by 10-foot wide by 3-
foot deep basement. "This
could have big ripple effects.''
she said.
Selectman Michael Sullivan,
who had the minority opinion
on his board, said the bylaw
was "not good policy ."
"Let's make sure we're not
taking rights away from our-
selves, to impose restrictions
on developers." Sullivan said.
The article failed to get the
two-thirds vote needed for
bylaw changes.
In a telephone interview this
week. DeGiacomo said people
have approached him asking
the article be brought back
next year. He said some voters
at Town Meeting "were clearly
not listening." "The bylaw
would not prohibit building, it
would only set forth some
guidelines."

'Housekeeping' article fails to pass
A related citizens petition
that also didn't pass muster
would have amended the zon-
ing bylaw by adding some
specific language regarding
building on preexisting, non-
conforming or "under-sized"
lots.
Preexisting means the lot
size was OK before the town
adopted its zoning bylaws.
Essentially the amendment
would have triggered a spe-
cial permit hearing for con-
struction on preexisting,
undersized lots. Tom
Callahan, one of the propo-
nents, noted this amendment
would prevent cases such as 3
Jerusalem Lane. The bylaw
would require a special permit
for expansion/extension or
enlargement that increases the
size of the footprint, w idth or
bulk of an existing building or
structure.
Building Commissioner
Robert Egan. who opposed
the article, said most Cohasset
homes are on non-conforming
lots. "That's nothing to be
ashamed of." he said. "It sim-
ply means your home was
built to conform to the rules in
place at the time."
Egan said if the amendment
passed he estimated 15-20
applications for special per-
mits a month. He said in the
1980s, the town decided a
homeowner could change
non-conforming structures by
right, as long as they didn't
increase the non-conformity.
"If this passes today. I predict
we'll be back here a year from
now rescinding the bylaw."
Egan said.
Proponents said the amend-
ment would reduce hassles for
developers and neighbors and
cut down on legal fees. They
said the change would make
the current bylaw clear in
light of existing state law. so
there would be no misunder-
standing as to what could be
built on non-conforming lots
minus a special permit.
After considerable debate
from opponents and propo-
nents, the article failed to win
a two-thirds majority.

put a "solid" project out to bid.
Much money has been spent
with redesigns, causing changes
along the way, but selectmen
voted to move ahead with a
phased coastruction schedule.
"Obviously it's less than peo-
ple wanted, but nevertheless, it's
a good project," said Selectman
Ralph Dormitzer, who is also on
the Cohasset Revitalization
Review Committee. "1 think it'll
be very attractive."
The revitalization review com-
mittee held a public hearing
April 7 to solicit input on the pro-
ject, and as a result. Dormitzer
compiled a list of recommenda-
tions for selectmen to consider.
At the forefront of the discus-
sion was the importance of tak-
ing action soon as the PWED
grant (Public Works Economic
Development) for the project is
slated to expire May 30. The
town will be asking for an exten-
sion, but it can only receive that
extension if a firm schedule for
construction is in place. The
town must prove it needs the
additional time for completion of
the project, not planning.
To ensure the project comes in
on budget, it will be completed
in phases. The "base project"
will be completed first, which
includes making improvements
to Depot Court at Pleasant Street
to South Main Street, and then
South Main Street south to
approximately Attorney
Henderson's office. The second
phase would include Elm Street
from South Main Street to Brook
Street. The third phase would

There is roughly $1.33 million
in grants remaining for the pro-
ject which includes about $1.2
million of the $1.5 million
PWED grant and a $165,900
transportation grant for the "St
Stephen's sidewalk" at the foot
of the ledge outcropping at the
top of South Main Street. The
town has spent upwards of
$300,000 in design fees. It hired
the Waterfiekl Design Group for
the project and the company has
submitted several "redesigns"
ranging from bump-outs at cor-
ners and crosswalks to no
bumpouts. depending on direc-
tion from selectmen.
Other modifications to the
plans which will ensure the pro-
ject comes in on budget include:
• Using bituminous asphalt for
sidewalks
• Using pressed concrete for
crosswalks and eliminate speed
bumps and pavers
• Elimination of the bump-out
on South Main Street opposite
the pump site
• Elimination of the Red Lion
• Using brick in the pocket
parks at Depot/South Main and
Elm Street/South Main
• Shortening the crosswalk
from the pump site across Elm
Street
Dormitzer said DPW
Superintendent Carl Sesuto, who
was present at the hearing, was
happy to see the bituminous
asphalt sidewalks from a long-
term maintenance standpoint.
Both Police Chief James Hussey
and Fire Chief Roger Lincoln
said they were satisfied from a
safety standpoint as well.
Flashback
The $1.8 million Village
Revitalization project is being
paid for through grants, not local
property taxes. Streetscape
improvements have been side-
tracked over the years due to dis-
agreement over how much mid
exactly what should be done to
revitalize the village area. The
project was put out to hid last
winter, hut only one company-
responded and the bid was too
high.
The review committee lias been
charged with looking over and
"tweaking " plans for the down-
town area, submitted by the
Waterfield Design Group, con-
sulting engineers based out of
Winchester. The Waterfield engi-
neers were hired b\ Former
Town Manager Mark Haddad in
the spring of 2002. Vie goal of
the project is to update the streets
anil sidewalks oj the downtown
area, making the Village more
aesthetically pleasing.
Former Cohasset teacher
gets nod as CMHS principal
By Samantha Brown
SAMBR0WNOCNC.COM
This fall, students at Cohasset
Middle High School will have a
new captain at the helm as Supt
of Schools Denise Walsh has
appointed Joel Antolini to serve
as the school's new principal.
Antolini. who currently serves
as principal of Holbrook Junior-
Senior High School, will replace
Jack DeLorenzo. Although a con-
tract had not been signed at the
time of the announcement. Walsh
said Antolini is slated to come on
board July I. She added she
hopes he will be able to attend the
next school committee meeting,
slated for May 5.
Walsh gave Antolini high
marks, and said the district is very
fortunate to have him back in
Cohasset. Antolini served as a
technology education teacher as
well as track coach in Cohasset
from September 1991 through
June 1995. "He looks forward to
'coming home'." she said.
Walsh announced the new
appointment at the April 7 school
committee meeting and outlined
the search process which began in
January. Although the search
process is finished for the position
of principal, there is still an open-
ing for a full-time assistant princi-
pal for the middle school and a
full-time curriculum coordinator.
Search committees for each of the
three positions were appointed
and Wai h served as chairman of
all three.
Walsh said the principal search
committee first met Feb. 14 to
screen candidates, and interviews
were conducted Feb. 28 and
March I & 2. The weeks of
March 7 & 14. site visits were
conducted and reference checks
were completed. Members of the
principal search committee
included Walsh; Assistant
Principal Mike Gill, who served
as ccKrhairman; Athletic Director
Ron Ford; Director of Special
Services Linda Gill; parents. Joan
Allen and Elaine Breslow; and
teachers. David Magnussen and
Maureen Duffy. Walsh said stu-
dent representatives were present
when the candidates visited the
school, "but we didn't want to
take away from their night com-
mitments." so the students were
not required to attend committee
meetings.
Walsh said from the pool of
roughly 19 applications, the field
was narrowed down to nine, and
then to three. Candidates visited

hers visited the towns where can-
didates currently work. After the
information was collected, "They
felt very strongly we would have
been lucky to have any one of
them," Walsh said.
Walsh said while it was a diffi-
cult decision, she fek Antolini was
the best suited for the job. She
said he will become an active par-
ticipant in the search for a new
middle-school assistant principal
and possibly the curriculum coor-
dinator.
Makes waves
Longtime resident and member
of the Cohasset High School class
of 1968 Edward Goff, 4
Ledgewood Dr., attended the
April 7 school committee meeting
to voice his displeasure that inter-
im Principal Jack DeLorenzo.
who did not attend, was not
appointed to the permanent post
"I'm perplexed at why we're
looking for a new principal," he
said, noting Walsh had said she
was pleased with De Lorenzo's
performance. Goff sent his three
children through the Cohasset
school system and in that rime he
has gotten to know DeLorenzo
well. He said DeLorenzo
worked closely with two of his
children — one served as
Student Council prasident and
the other was class president —
and he doesn't understand why a
search was conducted for a new
principal, when DeLorenzo is
doing a great job and wants to
stay. "We shouldn't be at mis
point" he said.
Goff asked — with the school
budget turmoil, a school com-
mittee member's resignation,
and recent changes in adminis-
tration including a new principal
at Deer Hill, a new superinten-
dent of schools, and changes in
administrative positions,
"Where's the continuity 7"
"Jack's been here 1 9 years and
he's thrown out like the trash. I
find it offensive. Truly offen-
sive." he said.
School committee member
Rick Flynn agreed DeLorenzo
has done a terrific job for the
school department, but said it is
important to understand the his-
tory of how the new appoint-
ment came to be.
Flynn explained last year, for-
mer Supt. Edward Malvey spoke
to DeLorenzo. who was slated to
retire in June, and asked fi he
would be willing to stay in
Cohasset and take over as princi-
pal because Michael Jones' res-
ignation came at such a late
point in the school year. (Jones
accepted a job in Lexington).
Flynn said DeLorenzo knew
the position was going to be an
interim position and a search
would be conducted for a per-
manent principal. "The plan all
along was to find a replacement
for Dr. Jones," he said. He said
a search committee was formed
as has always been done, "and
they did their job. They found a
candidate who can move us for-
ward," he said.
Flynn said while DeLorenzo
has been in the school system a
long time and is someone "we
all know and like," the superin-
tendent has made her decision.
School committee member
Adrienne MacCarthy said while
other residents have also come
forward to support DeLorenzo,
said it is Walsh's decision to
choose whomever she would
like. "It's her turn to start a play-
ing field for her team," she said.
Members of the search com-
mittee are prohibited from shar-
ing names of the applicants who
participated in the search
process, and DeLorenzo, who
has been with Cohasset schools
for 19 years, was unable to be
reached for comment before the
Mariner went to press. He did.
however, say in a prior interview
that he was very disappointed he
was not given the chance to con-
tinue on in his role and would
have made the long term com-
mitment Walsh is looking for
Although DeLorenzo may
have had the option of being
"put in the pile." Goff said with
everything he has done for the
district, "He should have been
offered the job."

By Samantha Brown
SAMBR0WNOCNC.COM
Situated directly under a flight
path for Logan Airport, Cohasset
has recognized the need to be pre-
pared for the emergency situation
that would arise should a plane
ever crash. In fact, the town is
prepared for many different
emergency situations including
everything from biological
attacks to the more mundane
coastal flooding and snowstorms.
Thanks to the town's Office of
Emergency Management, which
has done everything in its power
to ensure the town meets safety
directives put forth by the
Department of Public Health and
the Massachusetts Emergency
Management Agency, Cohasset is
prepared for whatever might
come this way.
The town has had a plan for
emergencies in place for many
years. However, in December
2003 a new, updated version of a
Comprehensive Emergency
Management Plan was submitted
to the state. In fact, the town's
plans were so good, an official
from MEMA contacted then
Town Manager Mark Haddad to
inform him Cohasset's report was
so impressive, the organization
plans on using it as a model for
other communities. Belore that
time, the town's emergency plans
had not been updated since 1999.
Since the new plans were sub-
mined, members of the town's
Office of Emergency
Management, including Director
Arthur Lehr. Deputy Director
Glenn Pratt, as well as Health
Agent Joseph Godzik, Fire Chief
Roger Lincoln and Police Chief
James Hussey, have been meet-
ing every two months to discuss
ways to improve upon the town's
plans, such as applying for grants
and investigating training oppor-
tunities for emergency respon-
ded.
committee looks
forward to working
closely with the
and getting its
plans up to date
and detailed.
'There are so many things thai
can happen." said Pratt, adding
investing in a plan to ensure the
safety of the town is like buying
insurance. "You never know
when you're going to need it"
That is why his group has contin-
ually been researching ways to
improve the emergency services
it could provide, if necessary.
Pratt said this year. Ihe town
received a $12,800 grant which
was used to purchase radiation
detection equipment for the fire
department. He said although the
government has allocated money
for homeland security programs,
a town like Cohasset never
receives much because it is so
small. He said usually, funds are
allocated in a way that can have a
regional impact, such as purchas-
ing a piece of heavy equipmem
that can be used by many towns,
and he said thai type of funding
typically goes lo a lown similar in
size to Quincy, rather than a town
like Cohasset.
'Cohasset is so small, we don'i
gel much," he said.
Bui thai doesn'i discourage the
group from trying to obtain any
and all funding possible. "We
apply for everything that comes
along." said Pratt.
In addition. Pratt said the Board
of Health has been applying for
grant funding and ii received two
this year alone. Pratt said some of
the money was used to purchase
defibrillators and the money
which was left over will be used
for various emergency training
for town employees.
Along with the grants, for the
first time this year, the lown bud-
gel has a line item to cover
expenses related to emergency
preparedness. Pratl said the town
has allocated $5,000 to the cause,
"which is a pretty big increase
from zero."
"We actually have money like
any other town department," he
said, which he believes is a |
step in the right direction
Pratt said a large portion of the
planning necessary for any town
safety program relates lo its
schools. He said Cohasset relies
heavily upon its schools not only
for transportation, as using school
buses might become necessary in
the case of a large evacuation, but
Ihe school buildings and large
cafeterias are a benefit to the
community as well.
'The schools are a big piece of
Ihe plan," said Pratt, adding due
to the large amount of people who
are in the buildings on a daily
basis, "it is one of the most likely
places where something would
happen." In addition, he said
because the large majority of peo-
ple in the school buildings are
children who cannot fend for
themselves, il is extremely impor-
tant for set emergency procedures
to be in place.
Pratt said the committee looks
forward to working closely with
Ihe school department and getting
its plans up to dale and detailed.
"Itnasn't been done well over Ihe
years and in some ways, they're
still behind." said Pratt.
But nevertheless. Pratt said Ihe
emergency management office is
"very anxious," to make sure the
schools have the most up-to-dale
emergency plans, which will
make ii easier for those respond-
ing to know what is expected of
them.
Pratt said going forward, one of
the larger goals the committee
hopes to accomplish this year is to
have an emergency training ses-
sion in the early fall. "We warn lo
see if all the things we think and
talk about" really work when
tested, he said. "There are all
kinds of issues thai come up and
Pratt said. "You never really
know until you try it."

Lady laxers come back against
Falmouth, hold on for draw
oy mam laooar
MG0ODM»N»CNC.COM
Things were looking dire for the
Cohasset girls lacrosse team in the
second half of last Thursday's
game at Falmouth.
After being down 5-1 at halftime
and 8-5 with 10 minutes to go. the
Skippers went on a run to take a 9-
8 lead.
After Falmouth tied it at 9-9,
Lauren Ri/^otti (who, along with
Lisa Spirito, scored two goals
each in the Skippers" 4-0 run) put
Cohasset ahead once again
; After Falmouth again drew even
;with a minute to go, Cohasset
"nearly escaped with a victory, but
instead had to settle for a 10-10 tie
on the road against a solid team.
"'We had a couple good opportu-
jiities lo retake the lead, but
"Falmouth's goalie made two great
?aves," said head coach Torin
Sweeney.
; Spirito (four goals), Riz/otti
(three goals, assist). Lindsay
Durkin (two goals, avsist) and
Mackenzie Holway (goal, assist)
accounted for the Cohasset scor-
ing. Holway earned the praise of
Sweeney for playing "a great two-
way game."
The coach says his team came
out a little Hat (as many teams in
ihcse parts do after making the
infamous bus ride down the
Cape), but showed some fortitude
as the game wore on.
"They really dug deep to make
lhat comeback." Sweeney said.
Although it came to a different
result the Skippers again played a
strong second half Tuesday
against Duxbury. Cohasset losi to
the powerhouse Green Dragons.
13-3, but it could have been far
worse.
The score at the half was 11-1,
bui the blue and white made some
adjustments dunng the break and
turned things around.
The girls definitely played well
in the second half.'" Sweeney said.
"We went man-to-man and man-
aged to lie them. 2-2, in the second
half. That was definitely encour-
aging."
Holway scored two goals and
again played well defensively.
Riz/otti scored the other goal and
also had an assist.
The defensive effort in the sec-
ond half was led by strong efforts
from Molly Kirk. Miranda
Lan/illotti and Danielle Haijar.
After a game yesterday against
Barnstable. Cohasset ( I -2- 1 ) does
not play again until the 26th when
they host Hanover. After that is a
road game at undefeated Norwell
on the 28th.

Abington shows why they're the defending league champs
By Evan Deutsch
CORRESPONDENT
li seemed almost too gixxl to
be I rue.
After the April showers sub-
sided, ihe Lady Skippers floated
with ease past iheir first two
opponents of the softball sea-
son.
The initial ouiing came and
went with the Souih Shore
Chnsiian Academy bowing to
Cohasset under ihe
slaughter-rule victory provi-
sions. Then, the Falcons of
Mashpee fell prey lo the Lady
Skipper spell. The Red Sox and
David Wells could have bor-
rowed some of this Cohasset
luck.
April 7 marked ihe end lo ihe
two-game euphoria. As soon as
Ihe Lady Skippers got off the
bus in Abington. things didn'i
feel right. The clouds rolled in.
the winds picked up and the
temperature dropped.
Bui the Abington bats heated
up like there was no tomorrow.
The Green Wave looked every
part of iheir defending league
champion siatus. The Green
Wave beat Ihe Lady Skippers in
a 14-0. one-hit shutout.
No matter how bad the
shutout may sound, its all rela-
tive. Lasl year, the Skippers fell
lo Abington in a game thai
ended in ihe 5th inning due to
the slaughter rule. At least this
lime around, Abington had to
work harder for its victory.
Abington enlered the game
with some striking advantages.
First, the Green Wave squad
included six seniors compared
to iwo for the Lady Skippers.
"Our new pitching
help make the girls
more consistent
and confident at
the plate."
Head coach Deb Boslwick
Lady Skippers
Second. Abington showed up
with tremendous depth, noi sur-
prising for a team w ilh years of
experience. Cohasset, on the
other hand, sianed its team
from scratch only four years
ago.
Virginia Spofford pitched for
Cohassel and struggled againsi
an offensive powerhouse. The
Green Wave banged out 13 hits
on top of 8 walks and 6 passed
balls.
Defensively speaking, co-cap-
tain Erin Liddell showed locus
at second base while freshman
Anna Haggerly fielded very
well al shortstop Melissa
Crowley -Buck and CO -captain
Cecelia Chapman played with
intensity in Ihe outfield.
Said Go-captain Cases
Anderson. "Our defense main-
tained ils steadiness Bui this
lough Abington learn came oul
swinging. We need to do the
same"
Head coach Deh Bostwick
was on the same page wilh her
assessment
'"Hitting remains our Weak-
ness. We reali/e thai." she said
"Our new pitching machine
should help make Ihe girls more
consisienl and confident at ihe
plate."
Chapman lays she also sees
poiential among her teammaies
"Compared to last year, we
have exhibited much more
energy and intensity" she said
"Once we gel some power in
our bats, our record should
improve significantly. '"
Cohassel had three games on
iheir schedule ihis week:
Monday againsi Carver.
Tuesday at Harwich and
Thursday at Hull. Reports on
these games are forthcoming in
nexi week's Mariner.
After that, the Lady Skippers
do not play again until after
April vacation, when thev trav-
el to Norwell on the 26th'.

Coming to his team's Aid
FROM TEAM'S AID. PAGE 15
Senior Chris Sims played in
net. and had a very nice game
with 14 saves.
The game was a defensive
battle, particularly in the first
half, where the teams combined
for only three goals heading
into the last minute. That is
when Kovach struck lor what
Curran said was a very impor-
tant goal.
"After a long drought. Jake
made it 2-2 at the end of the
half." said the coach. "It was a
good, solid bounce shot that
completely baffled their
goalie."
A Div. 2 tournament team last
season. CM played a zone
defense that forced a slow-
paced game. The Skippers had
to be patient on offense, and
they eventually came through,
starting with the Kovach goal.
About the only complaint
Curran had was his team's
occasional inability to clear the
ball, which he says cost them a
couple goals. Overall, however,
it was a nice way to come back
from a tough 1 1 -8 loss to
Falmouth last Friday.
Buick. Previte and Steele
played well on offense, com-
bining for all eight Cohasset
goals (with Buick adding three
assists). It wasn't enough, how-
ever, to beat a deep, talented
Falmouth team that consistent-
ly qualifies for the Div. 1 play-
offs.
Cohasset was ahead 6-4 at the
half, but Falmouth's depth
became the deciding factor
down the stretch, as the visitors
scored five goals in the fourth
period.
"Early on, we were moving
(he ball well and playing some
good defense," Curran said.
"But we just didn't have
enough bodies. We grew weary,
and we starting swinging out
sticks instead of playing sound,
positional lacrosse."With a little
bit more depth, I think we
would have been in the win col-
umn."
Yesterday, the Skippers took
on a Barnstable club that
advanced to the Div. 1 semifi-
nals last season.
brother Mark, and Honorable
Mention selection here, led the
team in goals scored ( 12) and tied
for team scoring lead (22). .. Bill
and Mark also play varsity golf
and lacrosse at HHS... the twins
helped direct golf team to third
place finish in stale Div. 3 tourney
this past fall... both are leaning
more toward playing college golf
than hockey... Bill is leaning
toward majoring in Economics- or
Business... Coach Jim Sylvia:
"Bill has a lot of natural talent. He
was very important in all areas of
the game for as this year, but I
think we'll be looking for him to
take on an even bigger role next
year. 1 think he can handle it."

L 1 1 Blue squad opened up their
-1105 lacrosse season with a terrif-
«• game against Hull this past
Sunday al Milliken Field.
Though our youngest laxers
MVjn'l had much practice time
outdoors, they came out full of
smiles and eager to get the game
OB. The contest was evenly
matched throughout, and at the
end the home team managed to
squeeze out a victory.
Hut the real success was seeing
«W Of the kids come together as a
Km and play the game with
enthusiasm, excitemenl. and
spurtsmanship. There were some
greal performances worthy of
mentioning - Cole Kissick man-
ning the goal in one quarter and
then relentlessly battling for face-
"fts in another; end-to-end runs
by Christian Davis and Evan
"eager lo set up scores and keep
ihe game moving; fantastic late-
game defense by Ryan
MacCarthy and Axel Seppala;
Strong play on both sides of the
ball from 'John Mills and Nick

All in all. it was a great opening
day for Cohasset Iutx and for
everyone lucky enough to he out
OH Ihe fields to bring in another
season.

against Hull

slow ly through Ihe first half as the
boys relied more on running the
ball downficld rather than pass-
ing. Several timely possessions
from face-off by Thomas Flibotte
rallied the boys in the second half,
combined with Ihe strong middie
presence of Jack Carrier, and
Morgan McCarthy playing his

Ull - White Team at Home
against Dux bury
The boys showed a lot of husile
and determination against a tough
Duxbury team last Sunday, but for
all of their efforts, it was not
enough to overcome the strength
of the all 4th-grade Duxbury
rivals.
As a team. Cohasset While
showed both a great altitude and
desire. Most importantly, all the
players had fun playing the game
while their families enjoyed a
great day al Milliken. Many of
the returning players came ready
for lacrosse with notable efforts
by a number of fourth graders.
Sarah Brown at middie showed
Ihe boys a thing or two about the
word "hustle" with a few great
fast breaks across ihe midfield
line.
Andrew Fontaine drove the ball
into our crease lo our dismay the
and two others volunieered to join
Duxbury for the day ) and we can't
wait to have him back next week,
ll was also exciting to watch the
Nahill boys make outstanding
plays at boih ends of the field.
Blair McGowen showed his
skill while on defense by clearing
Ihe ball across the midfield line
three times and while in Ihe goal
with excellent saves. Zack
Slrecker w as our goalie in Ihe first
hall and made ihe crowd gasp
with a fantastic save lo deny a
goal by Duxbury.
Third graders also showed great
efforts, siarting w ith Will Golden,
who found ground balls and Ihe
light of day for a few great fast
breaks Henry Brown also
showed some "Brown Brothers"
magic al ihe midfield line while
Colin Whelan was making plays
lor Duxbury (we won'l lei you go

Max Montgomery also wowed
Ihe crowd wilh two greal shots
and excellent play in close. Lastly,
Tommy Powers showed mil only
sirenglh bul speed as he denied

phy sical, with Falmoulh winning

Mite CI wins championship game
The Coastal Stars Mite CI
team won the conference cham-
pionship last week in an associa-
tion match up against (he Coastal
Stars Mite C 3 team. It was a hard
fought battle with several lead
changes but the C- 1 team perse-
vered with Scoring by James
Dietrich and Jack Conlon assist-
ed by Joe Deyeso and Hugh
Healey.
Tyler McKinnon stepped up as
a volunteer goalie and was awe-
some in net.
The defensive lines of DJ
Cronin. Sean Feeney. Joe
Proctor. Chris Bertone. Tommy
Prcndeigasl. and Jack Shaw were
all over the opposing offense
never letting them get their game
in high gear. The offensive lines
of Daniel Cronin. Ben Swim.
Jake Moore, Joe Deyeso. Cam
Mastrangelo. James Dietrich.
Tommy Prendergasl Jack Conlon
and Liam Manning all did a great
job pulling out the win at the end.
The Stars C- 1 team had a great
year showing much improve-
meni by going all the way after a
slow start. We wish all the play-
ers luck next year. Whether they
are on Squirts or Mites they
should prove to be just as enter-
taining next year as they were
this year.
It was a wonderful year for the
Stars and much thanks to
Coaches Healey. Prendergasl.
Mastrangelo. Dietrich and
McKinnon for the great job they
did with the kids.
Squirt C-2
The Coastal Stars Squirt C-2
hockey team won their second
playoff game last week against
the Coastal Stan. 3. In a battle for
bragging rights in the Stars'
Squirt C division, both teams
played an even game the whole
first period with C-2 scoring late
in the period lo take a 1-0 lead.
Both teams had pucks go off the
posi and out. The first goal being
scored by Jack Kuppens.
The C-2 defense of Chris
Bjorkman. Colin Bell. Coleman
Hernon. and Jake Demon
worked hard so that Alec Hurd.
C-2 goalie, had few shots on him.
There was only one blemish in
the second when a C-3 player
beat Hurd for the only goal they
would score.
The Stars C-2 came alive in the
second period with 3 goals. Jake
Timcoe. Mick Barry, and Jack
Kuppens provided the firepower.
Nick Mulrey. Tim Cavanaro.
Eihan Maher. Nale Morse.
Brendon Queenan. and Adam
Jackson all made sure (heir
goalie didn't have to work hard
lor (he resl of the second period.
The third period was a great
one for Queenan w ho scored lo
pul the game oul of reach. This
makes the Stars C-2 . 2-0 in the
playoffs and will l<x>k lo make it
3-0 this weekend.
MiteB
August 21 2004 was a warm
summer day, I was enjoying the
sun and sipping an adull bever-
age poolside when the phone
rang: Ring, Ring... "Hello this is
Coach Joe. your son needs to be
al practice tomorrow morning
5:50 AM al Hockomock Ice rink
- try lo gel there 45 minutes early
so we can introduce Ihe coaching
staff!"
Fast forward lo April 8th. 2005.
Ring. Ring... "Hello this is
Coach Joe. we're playing
Norwood tomorrow morning
5:50 AM al Bridgewaler - try to
gel there 45 minutes early - we're
in the semi finals!" Nine months
later; that's full term and carrying
triplets!!
Facing Norwood for Ihe 3rd
lime and having lost (he first two.
this was the match the STARS
were salivating for. Norwood is
last, ferocious, and most certain-
ly Ihe best coached learn on the
east coast. The STARS were
ready for "Rocky 3" and il
showed. Al 13:05 of Ihe lirsi
frame, a tenacious Robert Reidy
dug ihe puck out of ihe offensive
corner and siz/led a lead pass lo
a streaking Michael Lund. Lund
then feathered a room service
feed to Cu-Jo (Curtis) Golden.
Golden, in the slot, buried a snap
shot, top shelf, lo give the Slars
the 1-0 edge. Then at 3:02
'Triple B" (Big Bryan Bowman)
gained Ihe blue line and zipped a
text book pass to Brendan Evitts.
Evitts. a goalie's worst night-
mare, hammered a wrist shol lo
the back of the net to give the
STARS a definitive two goal lead
lo end the I si period.
Norwood kept their composure
and the STARS cushion evapo
rated quickly. Norwood scored
two quick goals to lie Ihe score 2-
2 before Ihe midpoint of period
number 2. This game would only
be won with great two way hock-
ey and outstanding teamwork.
Trial's exactly what the STARS
got from a tired up "SIX PACK
ON ICE" Capi. Patrick Graham,
Declan "The Destroyer" Leahy.
"Smoking" Joey Redfeam.
"Action Jackson" Jack Evitts.
"A-Train" Aiden Beresford.
James "the Crusher" Hussey and
a battle tested goalie named
SloneWall Kal Maier were all for
one. and one for all in protecting
the net. The Department of
Defense had tasted defeat from
Norwood in ihe past and like a
had oyster, they didn't like it. •
The third period opened with
outstanding hustle from the line
of Sam Rice, Tucker Ambrose
and Jeffrey Powers. All three
players showed why they were
lop picks in Ihe 2(XM draft. With
Kal swatting shots on net like
King Kong swiping attacking
helicopters, Norwcxxl could not
peneiraie. With 4:13 to play in
regulation. Big Cat Matt Doyle
decided lo lake matters in his
own hands when he won a tace
off in ihe offensive end. busted
through two defenders, did a
Shake & Bake fake with a roof
top ending lo give the STARS a
3-2 victory and an invitation to
Ihe FINALS!!

FROM BULLIES. PAGE 1
friend at school who is being
bullied. The letter states: "My
friend gets teased all the time
and (eels lonely and scared at
school, even at lunch and recess.
The bullying is even worse on
the bis. I don't think it's fair, but
I' don't know how to help. I'm
afraic that if I help. I will be
teased and bullied, too. Why are
kids jo mean sometimes'.' What
ean I do to help my friend'.'
Ben said he could relate to the
queston because he had been on
both sides of the issue. He had
both been bullied, and at the
beginning of the school year, had
participated in bullying himself.
"-It was wrong." he said.
In his letter, he suggested a
strategy his mother taught him.
which is to "overload your ene-
mies with kindness." and many
times, bullies will leave you
alone. He also said anyone who
is being bullied should tell an
adult, which he found helpful, as
adults can help the two children
work things out. 'Tney'll also
make suggestions to you on how
to handle a situation when
you're being bullied." he said in
his letter.
Caroline said in her experi-
ence, "most people are really
nice." but if they are a bully, they
must have a reason. In her letter
she said if anyone is being bul-
lied, "it's your job to help."
She suggested telling an adult,
or a parent who can help. "I
don't blame you that you're
scared to get teased and bullied if
you help, but that is not going to
happen if the principal gets into
the action. " she said in her letter.
She also said. "You will know it
was worthwhile when you see
how happy _\our friend is that he
or she is not being bullied any-
more. You will knov. that you
have been a good friend."
Eric said in the past, he has
been bullied a little bit. hut he
has also seen other children
being bullied at recess. His
advice was to tell an adult,
"because your friend is scared
and could get hurt ." He said
telling bullies that they are
being mean may also work.

Are Hazards Hiding in your House?
The miracles of modern convenience often come
with a side effect: toxicity.
Chemicals that kill crabgrass. remove rust, dissolve
paint, and even electronic devices and some building
materials can also make us sick if we toss them out
carelessly.
The South Shore Recycling Cooperative has some
tips to prevent us from poisoning our planet:
1. Be careful what you buy.
Choose the least toxic product to get the job done.
Simple soapy water cleans most surfaces. Latex paint
is easier to work with and dispose than oil based paint.
If you buy too much, you can just dry it up and put it
in the trash. Oil based paints and thinners are flamma-
ble, the fumes can make you sick, and they need to be
brought to your town's paint shed or household haz-
ardous product (HHP) collection for proper disposal
(which, by the way. costs your town a lot of money).
Electronic thermostats are also a safer and more versa-
tile choice than non-electronic ones, which contain a
lot of mercury and should also be disposed separately.
2. Fight the urge to buy the bulky bargain!
Proper disposal of excess hazardous products can
cost more than what you paid for them; improper
dumping can hurt people. For instance, flammables in
the trash can cause trash truck fires.
3. Weigh the choices.
Some products that contain scary stuff have other
virtues that outweigh their toxicity. Fluorescent lights
contain small amounts of mercury, but save large
amounts of energy. So buy them, then recycle them at
your town's recycling center or HHP collection, along
with your old fashioned thermostats and thermometers.
Rechargeable batteries contain cadmium, another
toxic heavy metal. But they too save energy, as well as
waste, and can be safely recycled like fluorescent
lights. Their alkaline counterparts are not toxic, but
they only deliver 2% of the energy required to make
them, and they weigh down your trash.
4. Throwing it away doesn't mean it goes away.
What you put in your trash or down your drain can
end up in the air you breathe, the water you drink, or in
a sanitation worker's face. Solvents, pesticides, pool
chemicals, automotive fluids, caustic cleaners, and
toxic metals like mercury and cadmium are just some
of the hazards that may be hiding in your house. Most
towns provide safe ways to dispose of them, and will
even trade you a digital thermometer through a pro-
gram run by American Ref-Fuel for your mercury
ones! The South Shore Recycling Cooperative coordi-
nates about a dozen town collection events open to all
area residents each year. If you're not sure what to do
with your household hazardous products, check with
your Board of Health or go to ssrc.info.

World-famous real estate investor
and author reveals secrets of buying
homes with no money down
Robert Allen's legendary workshop reveals how to change your financial future in 90 days or less
Years ago, when I invented the now world-famous "No Money Down
real estate system, people thought it simply couldn't be done... Buying
real estate without investing a dime of your own money! But, I have
proven it can be done, year after year, in all kinds of housing markets. Perhaps
you've seen me on TV — or perhaps you've read one of my best-selling books.
I've shown tens of thousands that just about anyone can make a fortune in
real estate. But I have to tell you, in all my years of showing people how to
create wealth through real estate, I believe it's never been as easy as it is
today. Plus, I believe you can make more money now in real estate than ever
With low interest rates and soaring appreciation, now is the time that you
could become my next real estate millionaire — perhaps even a multimillionaire
Even if you're stone cold broke right now, you can still become richer than
most Americans will ever be. The profit floodgates have truly opened for so
many of my students. I believe you too can take advantage of all the lasting
wealth that real estate can provide. And I'd like to tell you how in my updated
workshop. Creating Wealth with Real Estate.
Challenge #f ; Find fast wealth in
any city, town, or neighborhood
I wallet. Give^^^
When I first developed my revolutionary system for buying
real estate, I very publicly challenged the media to... "Send
me to any city in America. Take away my wallet. Give
me $100 for living expenses. In 72 hours.
I'll buy an excellent piece of property,
using none of my own money." Keep in
mind, I would have no cash to invest. No
connections No firsthand knowledge of the real estate
market where I was going. But I would have my new system
for buying real estate. And that meant none of the above
mattered.
I didn't buy just one property. I bought four!
The ios Angeles Times took me up on my gutsy challenge.
In just 57 hours. I had taken title to not one, but to foot
properties — adding S722.QOQ in a»ets to my real estate
portfolio. That's the equivalent of more than J 10.000
an hour.
_
Challenge #2; Take someone from
unemployed to over $100,000 in equity
) others how^_^^
No better example of "ANYBODY CAN DO THIS" exists than
when I made another major public challenge. As you might
be able to guess, I'm not shy about telling others how
my system works. So I declared... "Send me
to any unemployment line in America. Let'
me select someone that is broke, out of
wari, and discouraged. In two days time,
I'll teach my strategies for Creating Wealth. In 90 days, that
person will be back on his/her feet with $5,000 in the bank."
It was in St. Louis, Missouri, where I pulled a couple out of the
unemployment line and placed them on the path to wealth. Within
90 days, these first-timers earned more than $5,000 in cash But
that was just the beginning... Within the next 12 months, they
garnered more than $100,000. It changed their lives forever.
Think of how an extra $100,000 or more could change your life
and improve your family's future- What dreams have you put
aside that $100,000 could reawaken?
Challenge #3: Prove anyone can do it
re my
I've become famous as America's leading expert on
purchasing real estate with no money down. I've been
interviewed in newspaper, and on radio and TV. In fact Regis
Philbin challenged me on the spot to prove my
system worked for anyone. I selected a
young woman right out of Regis' studio
audience and guided this first-timer to
earning more than $20,000 in 90 days. And
now, I'd like to pull you out of your chair and invite you to
discover why my powerful and internationally acclaimed
Creating Wealth with Real Estate program has been so hugely
rewarding for people across the country — and why it can also
Your turn to succeed
Can you become a millionaire? Dozens of my students have. At
the FREE preview of my workshop, you'll see real-life examples of
how my powerful wealth creation strategies have helped people
jump into
Challenge #4: Make you my next millionaire! STARTS NOW!
I've proved time and again that my system can work
just about anywhere, anytime, and for just about
anyone — even people who are flat broke. Now, I'd
in fact, my big mouth BouM make you a millionaire.
That's because I've challenged myself to create
millionaires all across America. Yup, I went right for
the "M" word: millionaire. Raised a few eyebrows
with that one. But remember, you don't need money
in the bank to buy real estate. You don't even need
good credit. All you need is my Creating Wealth with
Real Estate system and the personal gumption to go
out and apply it.
Now it's your turn to take a
step toward real wealth
The wealth is out there. I will show you how it's
possible to find it and grab it. Take a life-changing
step toward financial independence for yourself and
your family today. The road (it's more of a
superhighway actually) to millionaire status begins
right here. Right now. I'm hoping to create at least
1,000 millionaires. And I'd like to count you among
them. There's no telling when my FREE workshop
will be back in your area, because it's simply
impossible for me to bring my famous workshop to
every city. Grab this unique opportunity to discover
hidden wealth opportunities in real estate.
Bring someone you care about
If you have a friend or family member who wants to
increase their wealth, bring them to this FREE
empowering event. I believe there's never
been a better time to invest in real estate. Forecasts
call for soaring demand for homes and rising prices.
At this free event, you'll see how it's possible to ride
this historic trend to personal riches.

It was a Sinatra song f

department to
; a new Sinatra
who could sing Sinatra's
. I ended up doing p
including one at the
b"s "Duets D," the company again
i-store appearances. "From there, I
decided to focus on Sinatra fall-time," explains Kelly. "I never saw
Sinatra in person, » I washed concert videos of him to learn his
mannerisms. I looked at everything from how he entered the stage,
and with what music, to how he carried himself throughout the
show."
Kelly soon realM M had someanng more than just vocal
sound in common** Of Sue Eyes. "We're both the same height,
and I started to gain Weight tt the same age that Prank did. It's scary
sometimes to realiar how «fcch we actually look alike. My tuxe-
does are even cuHDBVtaikJfcd to suggest Sinatra's signature style."
Clothes may make the rMt but with Sinatra it was the voice that
made the legend. "Yfau can It anywhere in the world and if you hear
Frank Sinatra, people imrhfdiately recognize the voice. There are
mega-stars, superstars, 5f>jnd so on. but Sinatra was a mega-star
in a class all his own."
Since leaving the South thore. first for Florida and now New

The 50-year-old father of WD adult sons, Billy and David, likes to
tour, even if it isn't as lucrative for him as it was for Sinatra.

The real Jurassic park
Help dig up dinosaur bones
in Montana's PaleoWorld
By NANCY CHAPMAN
SPECIAL TO THE HERALD
HELL CREEK FORMATION. Mom. ( The fossil was
embedded entirely in sandstone, its discovery made possible
mostly by the naivete of the man looking for it
He moved a rock, and there it was.
He wasn't a paleontologist, or a ranch owner surveying his proper-
ty. He was a tourist, a father who had brought his £year-old son out
to the proverbial middle of nowhere for a bonding experience. Like
many children, the boy was obsessed with dinosaurs.
Welcome to northeast Montana's Badlands, where an entire tricer-
atops skeleton was unearthed in 1980 and where remains of a young
tyrannosaurus rex recently yielded real dinosaur tissue. It is here that
PaleoWorld escorts adventurous tourists hoping to unearth some finds
of their own.
Joseph -Paleo Joe" Hatcher Is the pakxxrtologht In charge of the
i a* DiUmU/mW In I
I m ransvviutni in I
No training in paleontology is needed. If you have the money and
the desire, you can join in the research.
PaleoWorld is an ambitious upstart a nonprofit organization dedi-
cated to teaching and studying paleontology.
There are real sc ientists and science students at the dig site, 25 miles
west nt Jordan, a tiny outpost of civilization in the midst of miles of
desolation. Though the landscape is devoid of the things that make life
h\ able for humans, this is a place rich in fossils.
Scientists say this land-locked pan of the United States was once
under water, home to thousands of sea creatures. Hard for the human
mind to comprehend, but once you find fossilized turtle shells among
the sage brush, you'll believe it
The w ind is a constant companion and the weather is always a chal-
lenge, In tlx spring, frequent rainfall threatens to make the roads
impassable, even for residents accustomed to such hardships. Later in
die -easmi the sun beats down relentlessly, and temperatures soar into
A repHca of a T. rex head In the Garfield County
the upper 90s ( or higher.
The terrain too is challenging ( there are no steps leading down to
the dig site. This isn't a tour, it's real exploration, and creature com-
forts are few.
Joseph "Paleo Joe" Hatcher is the paleontologist in charge of the
expedition, his youthful enthusiasm and boyish charm bringing a
friendly ambience to the adventure. This former football player pep-
pers his comments with references to "Star Wars." and relentlessly
teases the college students who stay with him through the season,
building their resumes in hopes of a career in science.
Paying customers are treated more courteously, and Hatcher goes
out of his way to please.
I joined an excursion in June, and our first day was rained out.
Hatcher was determined to go out the second day: He had tourists and
he was behind in his research into wash sites for a study on paleo-ecol-
ogy.
Off we went in a beat-up four-wheel drive vehicle that slipped wild-
ly through the mud. Cows peered curiously over the fences that lined
the road.
I was skeptical, but within half an hour of arriving at the site, I found
my first fossil. I had taken my rock hammer and plunked it down in a
random spot. It hit something hard on the first swing. Turned out to 3-
inch piece of fossilized bone under the muck.
Shortly after that father and son unearthed the mysterious bone
compressed and embedded in sandstone, and Hatcher's plans to
research wash sites that day were quickly abandoned.
Excavating the bone proved to be difficult. "I've never had to work
so hard to get out a fossil," Hatcher commented as he worked at it with
a rock hammer and a screwdriver, trying to break apart the rock with-
out damaging the precious link to a time long gone. He used a tube of
paleoglue ( yes, there is such a thing ( on the fossil whenever it
appeared likely to crumble.
While he worked, another tourist a 1 2-year-old boy, climbed a butte
nearby. His excited voice crackled over the walkie-talkie, repeatedly
reporting that he'd found bone fragments.
Below Hatcher, one of the students picked meticulously through the
sand. What she found was tiny but interesting: a raptor tooth and a
complete fish vertebrae.
When Hatcher finally exposed the bone, he whistled. "Look at that.
That's the first time sunlight ever hit that bone ... 65 million years in
the darkness, and it's gonna get sunburned today."
At lunch he confidently predicted it was a triceratops rib bone. It was
a safe bet: paleontologists call the area Trike Country, for the abun-
dance of triceratops fossils found there.
But there are plenty of other fossils lying about in plain sight on the
ranch. Another day's finds included tyrannosaurus rex teeth and frag-
ments of turtle shells.
1 kept my eyes focused downward as the group walked through
another location and was rewarded when I spotted a round object with
ridges. I was sure was a fossilized fish eye. Turned out it was a tiny
American Indian artifact akin to a bead that was worn in a necklace.
Most serious scientific research is saved for when the paying cus-
tomers aren't around. On my visit Hatcher was excited about two dis-
coveries: a skull ( belonging to a duck-billed diplosuchas. previously
unknown to Montana ( and a striation in the rocks, which he had iden-
tified as a K-T boundary, the marker between the Cretaceous period

and the Triassic period.
Even the 6-year-old seemed pleased, running about and striking
things with a rock hammer.
In addition to working at the dig site, guests are welcome to visit the
laboratory in Jordan.
Here Hatcher patiently instructed kids in the fine an of restoring fos-
sils, giving them tasks they could handle, such as using a toothbrush
soaked with hydrogen peroxide to remove eons worth of gunk.
For adventurous would-be scientists, it was all a thrill.
One week Dinosaur Expeditions are offered June through August,
and priced from $700 per adult. $350 per child 15 and younger lair-
fare, most meals and lodging are extra). Special rates are available for

Cook-only
meeting set
for Tuesday
Selectmen to focus
on housing project
• . oy samanuia Drown
SAMBROWNffCNC COM
has been ;i lol oi talk sur-
rijjnding an April Ml wastewater
(leadline lor the Cook Estate
property. However, that deadline
is in place only for the parties
involved to be satisfied the town
has a solid plan for a wastewater
solution.
On April 30, if an agreement
can be reached, (he town will
have the rest of the year to work
out the wastewater logistics. In
addition, building plans must pass
muster with the planning board,
as well as seleclnien before the
project can break ground,
This news is significant because
the proposed. 95-unit Cook hous-
ing project is seen as going a long
way toward providing affordable
and market-rate housing for the
town's senior cili/ens. many of
whom want to downsize or can
no longer afford high property
taxes.
In an effort to iron out as many
of the wastewater details as possi-
ble before a conference with the
Cook heirs, other meetings
regarding the project were sched-
uled. The Cook working group,
which has been charged with
investigating all solutions for the
Cook property, met Thursday at 4
p.m. after the Mariner went to
press and is slated to meet With
selectmen Tuesday, April 26. The
meeting on the 26th will be dedi-
cated solely to the Cook project

Development could
provide fiscal relief
By!
SAMBROWNl9CNC.COM
Cohasset has been experiencing
budgetary troubles as a result of
an increase in the cost of ten ices,
a decrease in state aid. and not
enough revenue to make up the
difference. However, there are
some who think the developments
currently on the table could pro-
vide the monetary cushion the
town needs to gel back on its feet.
Member of the Cook working
group Dave Fulton, compiled a
preliminary droit of a financial
analysis which indicates, although
the numbers could change in the
future, that the town could make
as much as $7.6 million from all
the fees associated with building
Avalon, Cedarmere and the Cook
Estate projects. If the tow n could
count on that amount of revenue
coming into the tow n. events such
as the $400,000 override which
was passed last year and the
SflXMXlO override which will be-
on the special election ballot
Saturday. May 21, could be a
thing of the past
Fulton works for OLC
Development Resources. LLC. a
company which provides real-
estate services |o clients, with a
ft >eus on development. He recent-
ly compiled a similar financial
analysis for the town of Bourne
for a otXfunit development.
"I'm surprised no one has
looked at it this way before." he
said of tlx.- potential these projects
have financially for the town.

When babies are
born, ihey are
wrapped tightly in
a blanket to make them (eel
safe and warm. As children
get older, they can often be
seen carrying around the same
blanket, sometimes with a tat-
tered edge that shows it has
continually wrapped them in
love.
Blankets have a way of
bringing comfort, and when a
child is very sick, they need to
feel secure more than any
other time in their lives. To
help make sure every child
who is battling a disease has a
special blanket created lor the
sole purpose of helping them
pull through, volunteers in
Colorado began Project Linus
— named after the Peanuts
comic strip character created
by Charles Schult/ who
always carries a security blan-
ket — which has distributed
roughly WO.txMi homemade
blankets to hospitals around
the country since IW5.
In Cohasset. the First Parish
Llnitarian Universalis! Church
began its chapter of Project
Linus one year ago this June
and already they have sent 79
blankets to area hospitals. First
Parish Project Coordinator
Janet Campbell said the most
recent group of donations
were made during a session in
February, and 48 blankets
were divided among the
Shriners Hospital in Boston,
the South Shore Special Care
Nursery at South Shore
Hospital, and Project Hope in
Dorchester.
"Like any volunteer protect,
it makes you teel so good and
what you get back is far more
than what you give." she said.
Campbell said there are
many Cohasset residents who
gather together to sew or knit
their blankets. "And believe it
or not. some people quilt
them." she said. As long as
the fabric is washable, there
are children eager to receive,
she said.
While many of the partici-
pants are women, she said
men and even children gather
to help. "We do have a lot of
laughs, but it's a good excuse
to gather." she said. She
added they are trying to
involve more children in the
project and have thought of
incorporating it as a church
school pmiis .i
"It's an easy way to Itfartl
how to sew." said ( urnphell,

CPT John Paul Lyon was
always a strong leader — a per-
fect trait for any military man.
From the time he spent with
Cohasset Boy Scout Troop 28
to his final days with his fellow
soldiers during Vietnam, he
was always glad to serve his
community and his country.
But as was the fate of many
young men who went off to
Vietnam. Lyon never returned
to the seaside town he called
home after shipping off for
duty. Thirty-six years ago this
week, Lyon paid the ultimate
sacrifice in the name of free-
dom, while leading fellow sol-
diers on a mission overseas.
Born on March 29, 1944,
Lyon was the second of three
children in his family. In 1956,
he moved to Cohasset. where
he lived at 45 Jov Place with
since 1979

his parents, older sister Alice,
and younger brother Jim.
Lyon had a flair for building,
and his brother Jim remembers
the two of them working
together for their father's build-
ing business. By the ages of 1 0
and 12, they were putting up
sheet rock.
Lyon's love of building car-
ried through to his high school
years when his mentor, art
teacher Tom Lucas, took him
under his wing and invited him
to help remodel the big house-
on Bourne Rock overlooking
Cohasset village, after school
and during the summer. Lyon
won a scholarship to the
Boston Museum of Fine Arts
Art School, which he attended
during his high school years.
Lyon's high school yearbook
quote reads, "Peace be within
thy walls." a true testament to
his love of construction.

FAST FACTS

April 22. 2005
WOM FISCAL RELIEF. PAGE 1
"ill need a water connection,
which Fulton estimated at $3,300
per connection, which is a one
lime fee to the developer. He esti-
mated non-age restricted housing
units, such as those in Avalon.
would use roughly 110 gallons
per day, per bedroom.
Avalon is looking to build 200
units, for a total of roughly 36,000
gallons per day. which could yield
523,910 in quarterly water usage
fees from residents. Add on the
water service quarterly fee set at
$29 per meter, and with 15
meters. Avalon would yield
another $435, for a quarterly total
of $24,345. or $97,380 per year.
Connection fees charged to the
developer would cost roughly
S66G\000.
While Avalon would yield the
most money in terms of water
usage. Cedarmere and Cook
would bring in significant rev-
enues as well. Fulton estimated
these age restricted housing pro-
ject will use roughly 150 gallons
per day per unit, which means at
105 units. Cedarmere would use
1 5,750 gallons per day, and bring
in roughly $10,461 in quarterly
revenue from residents. Add on
the water serv ice fees charged to
its 78 meters and the project will
yield another $2,262 for a quarter-
ly total of $ 1 2.723. or $50,892 per
year. Water connection fees
charged to Cedarmere developers
would be roughly $257,000.
The Cook Estate is estimated to
use 14.250 gallons per day per
unit for a quarterly total of $9,464.
Water service fees to 60 meters
would yield $1,740 for a quarter-
ly total of $11,204 and a yearly
total of $44,8 1 6. One ti me water
connection fees charged to the
developer would cost roughly
$198,000.
Using Fulton's estimates, one-
time water connection fees from
the three developers alone could
total a little more than $1.1 mil-
lion, not to mention the recurring
revenue from water usage and
service fees which could be as
high as 5193,090 per year.
Sewer fees
If all three projects are built, the
town can be guaranteed it will
bring in revenue from water fees,
although the estimates provided
by Fulton could change.
However, where the town would
really benefit is from sewer con-
nection fees charged to develop-
ers, which although they are a
one-time charge, are more than
double the water connection fees.
Assuming there was a way to
hook up all three projects to the
Elm Street wastewater treatment
plant, and assuming the Sewer
Commission would collect a one-
time $15,000 per unit connection
fee, the town could receive a one-
time payment of $6 million.
With 200 units, Avalon would
yield the highest sewer payments.
Assuming the development dis-
charges 36.000 gallons of waste-
water per day, and residents arc
charged a quarterly fee of $6.70
per 100 cubic feet. Fulton esti-
mates the development could
yield $29,021 in quarterly rev-
enue for sewer usage. With a
sewer service fee of $35 per unit
per quarter. Avalon would bring in
an additional $7,000 per quarter,
which together with usage fees
yields $144,086 in yearly rev-
enue. The town would also
receive $3 million from the devel-
oper in one-time sewer connec-
tion fees.
Cedarmere's 105 units are
expected to discharge roughly
15.750 gallons of wastewater per
day. which would bring in rough-
ly $12,697 in quarterly revenue.
Add on sewer service fees and an
additional $3,675 would be paid
out to the town quarterly.
Annually, residents would pay
$65,487 in sewer fees to the town.
One-time charges to the develop-
er would provide the town with
$1,575,000.
The Ccxik Estate, with 95 pro-
posed units of housing, is project-
ed to discharge 14.250 gallons of
wastewater per day and usage
fees to residents would total
$11,488. Couple that with service
fees and an additional $3,325
would be paid to the town quar-
terly. Yearly, the town might
expect to receive $59,251 in
ongoing sewer revenue. One
time connection fees paid by the
developer could total $ 1 ,425.000.
Other potential smaller fees the
town could collect from new resi-
dents are auto excise taxes, esti-
mated at $2(X) per unit, which
would yield $80,000 assuming
400 units. In addition, the town
would receive a one-time fee for
the transaction of the Cook Estate
land which could be roughly
$700,000. There will also be
building permit fees associated
with each project and ongoing tax
revenue.
The cost?
Although the projects w ill have
a positive financial impact on the
town in many ways, new devel-
opment will bring more people to
town to share the services it pro-
vides.
Fulton estimated the police and
tire stations will not require addi-
tional manning or equipment as a
result of the additional residents,
but did attribute a cost for services
for each at $100,000 for the police
station and $75,000 for the fire
department
In addition, he assumed town
buildings such as the library, and
community center as well as the
Cohasset Elder Affairs office will
be utilized even more with the
influx of residents, and said
$50,000 should cover that cost.
However, public works services
such as trash collection, landscape
maintenance and road mainte-
nance will be taken care of within
the developments, so the town's
DPW will not be affected, nor
will the Town Hall office admin
Miration.
Fulton said both the police and
fire chiefs were going to be
reviewing his analysis this week
as well as Town Manager Bi
Griffin and they would be getting
back to him with any questions or
comments.

Selectmen to focus on Cook
Project at Tuesday meeting
FROM MEETING, PAGE 1
Dave Fulton is a member of the
Cook working group, and he has
been involved with the Cook pro-
ject since its inception. Fulton
works for GLC Development
Resources, which worked with
the town in the beginning of the
Cook developer selection process.
He said in his opinion, there has
been so much focus on the waste-
water portion of the project, the
town has lost sight of many other
important factors of the project.
"A lot of people have lost tin-
point." he said, which is to pro-
vide affordable housing lor
seniors in town, and a wastewater
solution does not mean the project
is in the clear. He noted the pn>-
ject will be tiled under the Senior
Multi-Family Residence Overlay
District bylaw, which means it
will need to come hetore the plan-
ning board to obtain a special per-
mit, just as Cedarmere did.
Cedarmere. a (OS-unit senior
housing project si.iied for
BeechwcKxj Street, was the first
project to file under the town's
senior overlay bylaw
Cedarmere developers met
with die planning hoard prior to
submitting plans lor their project
to gain input as to w hat it would
like to sec. and came back with
draw ings catered to vv hat the ti iwn
requested During the process,
everything from the buildings to
the lighting to traffic concerns
were aired, and much of the dis
CUSSKXI was sparked by abutters
to the site. It tcx>k roughly eight
months lor the project to receive
planning board approval alone,
However. Fulton said with the
measures w hich have been taken
so far with the Cook Estate, he
thinks discussion with abutters
should he somew hat limited. The
property, located on Sohier Street
is flanked by the Deer Hill and
Osgood schools on one side and
the Stop and Shop Plaza on the
other, which leaves residents on
Fairoaks Lane and Red Fox l-ane
as the major groups of abutters
Fulton said he met with residents
from both streets to discuss the
project w hile he was siill acting as
a consultant for ihe tow n, and as a
result, buffets as well as lighting
restrictions will he put in place to
limit the project's impact.
In addition to Obtaining a special
permit, the project will file its
affordable units with the suite as a
LIP (Local Initiative) project
which Cedarmere also did. w hich
will require the Board of
Selectmen sign off on Ihe project
as well. "It's still under a lot of
review," Fulton said.

Disposition Agreement the town
was supposed to sign with
Northland Residential, the com-
pany the town is working with to
huild on the Cook Estate. An
LDA is similar to a Purchase and
Sale agreement. Fulton said at
this point in time, the company
has not yet signed an agreement
with ihe town, hut because there
has been so much time and effort
put into the project, anv signed
agreement would need to he flex-
ible to allow die developers an
"out" it a wastewater solution
cannot he found lor the site. He
said the town is currently holding
a SIOO.ixki deposit from
Northland as well as the written
response Irom ihe companv
regarding the KIT. which is bind-
ing enough "We cannot force
them to build this without a waste
water solution." he said.
Without a sewer connection, the
project must obtain a groundwatct
discharge permit from the
Department of Environmental
Protection, which is required I'm

than 10,000 gallons per day. The
Cook Estate development will

Project Linus Chapter at First Parish makes blankets with TLC

know how special the gift they
receive is when they read.
"Made With Tender Loving
Care for Project Linus." on the
tag sew n on each blanket.
"Like any
project, it makes
you feel so good
and what you get
than what you
give."
— Janet Campbell,
project coordinator
Campbell said even prema-
ture babies are given blankets
and otten they are draped over
the lop of the incubators to
mimic the darkness of the
womb. When they are strong
enough to be taken home, their
parents will wrap the baby in
the blanket that has watched
over them during their hospital
stay.
But Campbell said the blan-
kets are not just given to chil-
dren, they are given to mothers
who are expecting and are in
the hospital with complica-
tions. She recalled the story of
a woman who was pregnant
with quadruplets and all four of
the babies passed away shortly
after birth. However, the moth-
er has a picture of all four
together, lying on a blanket
made by Project Linus, and she
said knowing someone who
had never met her had taken (he
time to make something for her
and her babies, to help them get
through a difficult time, meant
so much. "It made her feel so
good to know someone cared
about her." Campbell said.
First Parish makes blankets
all year round and Campbell
said one of the destinations for
their donations will be Africa

in an orphanage were sleeping
with burlap or wool blankets,
her group decided to make
some soft, comfy blankets to be
sent overseas. She said some-
one from the parish will be
traveling this fall and will bring
the blankets over with them.
Campbell said they are
always looking for more people
to become involved with
Project Linus and said dona-
tions of materials are always
welcome from those who might
not be as crafty as others. She
said the group also accepts
donated store-bought blankets
and Project Linus volunteers
will sew on the tag making it an
official Project Linus blanket.
Blankets can also be donated in
memory of a loved one.
"We are always grateful for
every blanket and there is
always a need." she said.

Project Linus, please visit the

Fred Koed rallies for CG station
By Samantha Brown
SAM BR O WN^CNC .COM
Selectmen Chairman Fred
Koed said he would like to see
Cohasset support any efforts to
bring the Scituate Coast Guard
station back into full-time oper-
ation.
At a recent benefit for the sur-
vivors of the Lady Lorraine —
a Scituate commercial fishing
vessel which caught on fire at
sea in late February, claiming
the life of one crew member
Koed said one of the resound-
Federal funding has been cut back so
that Scituate's station is only able to
six months of the year.
ing concerns among fishermen
from all the neighboring towns
is the limited ability of the
Scituate Coast Guard station.
Federal funding has been cut
back so much that Scituate's
station is only able to operate
six months of the year, from
May to October, which is recre-
ational boating season. Those
on the seas during the rest of the
year must rely on the Coast
Guard Station at Point Allerton
in Hull, and many times other
local fishermen or residents in
boats respond to the scene of an
accident before they arrive. If
Hull is responding to another
emergency. Koed said the clos-
est Coast Guard station is in
Sandwich on Cape Cod.
Koed said the issue is a feder-
al one, and he would urge
Cohasset to support any efforts
to reopen Scituate's Coast
Guard station full time. •'It's
time for the towns to come
together." he said.
RTF gets high marks
President of HAZMATEAM,
Inc. Leo Traverse recently paid
a visit to the Cohasset
Recycling Transfer Facility and
in a letter to DPW Supt. Carl
Sestito said among the many he
has seen. Cohasset's stands out.
He said he appreciated DPW
employees taking time from
their busy schedules to show
him around and chuckled when
two employees picked up a
"scrap of paper." during the tour
with the attitude that it should
never have been there.
"Keeping these areas clean and
spotless in any recycling opera-
tion is truly a difficult task."
Traverse said.
Traverse said the information
and pictures he took while on site
will be used during the 24-hour
Household Waste program spon-
sored by the Cape Cod Extension
University of Massachusetts to
"show off' what a properly man-
aged recycling center should
look like. 'Cohasset's knowl-
and understanding of the
ft health, safety, and envi-
ronmental requirements is truly
superb," he said.
Traverse said Sestito has done
a superb job in reorganizing,
managing, and keeping the
Cohasset Recycling Center in
"showroom condition."

"SHE THINKS I'M
FUNNY AGAIN"
I used to really crack her up with my jokes. But, over the years, my comic routines
seemed to get a little tired with her. She did ask me to repeat a lot so we went to Mass
Audiology for a free hearing test. Before the exam, they asked her lots of questions.
Come to find out, she was having trouble hearing a lot of things! Who knew that she
couldn't hear my great punchlines? Now, she hears great! And, I seem to be funny again.

Another Kind of Black Gold
The South Shore Recycling Cooperative wants to help
you keep your yard and our towns green, li s easy! Did
you know that ahout a fifth of your typical household's
"trash" is yard waste'.' Throw in the kitchen scraps and
you've got about a third of your family's discards, which
yon could be putting to use making your yard, garden and
houseplants greener, and your neighbors green with envj 1
Not only that, hut all those pesky fallen leaves and grass
clippings which we tend to think of as "waste." are also
banned from disposal with the trash b) a Mass. Dept. of
Environmental Protection regulation That's because it is
better for the environment to recycle it b\ composting than
to bury it in a landfill or incinerate it. It is also illegal to
dump sard waste into wetlands, streams or ponds. And
don't even think about burning leaves; clean air standards
have prohibited that for years.
Most towns in our area provide some way to dispose of
sard waste without breaking the law. either collecting it
separately at the curb on certain dales, or pnniding a town-
run place to take it to be composted. Some towns w ill
even give its residents back the finished compost!
But if you have a leaf blower with a bag. you can mulch
it up yourself for healthier shrubs, gardens and wooded
areas. And if you have a little space in your yard and want
to make you're your trash lighter and sweeter smelling, you
can throw in your kitchen scraps and compost it yourself!
Kitchen waste that came from plants, like Fruit and veg-
etable scraps, tea bags, coffee grounds, paper towels, and
even leftover spaghetti can go in the pile
It's easy to make compost because most of the work is
done by worms and naturally occurring soil organisms that
turn organic material into fertile humus. Several towns in
our area otter low cost compost bins that come with
instructions. Don't worry, it's not rocket science! You can
also build your ow n bin. Enclosed compost piles keep out
pests, hold heat and moisture in. and look lovely. They can
be made of wood, concrete blocks, metal or plastic. Put it
in a conv enient, shady area that can be reached w ith your
hose
Once your pile is built, just keep adding garbage. It will
smell fine if you cover it with leaves, pine needles, or scrap
paper towels, which also improves the quality. Add water
to your pile If it gets dry so the worms don't get thirsty.
It you stir it up once in a while, your leaves and left-
overs will become usable compost in 3 to 6 months!
Know n as "black gold" to gardeners, it restores nutrients in
the soil, holds in moisture, and helps plants resist disease.
And you'll save money and the planet because you won't
need pesticides or chemical fertilizers!
Compost-a little effort can make a big difference.

FROM LYON. PAGE 1
Members of the class of 1962
voted Lyon most talented and
most noted for his smile. In
those days. Lyon was smiling a
lot. as he was a member of the
undefeated 1958 Cohasset
High School football team with
other football legends like
Clark Chalterton. Rich Silvia,
and Greg Koval.
But Lyon was a versatile ath-
lete and in the spring, was a star
on the CHS baseball team. He
was also the basketball manag-
er all four years of high school.
He and his closest friends —
Tommy Knoy. Steve Gregg.
Steve Towel, and Alex Kaplan
— all played sports together
and were known as The
Musketeers."
Even when not on the courts
or on the field. Lyon and his
friends could be found doing
everything together. In fact.
Kaplan and Lyon were such
good friends, they double dated
the night ot the senior prom.
Kaplan said he remembers
going to pick up their dates in
Lyon's lather's Cadillac.
Lyon, like many Cohasset
residents, also enjoyed spend-
ing time on the water. Lyon
and his brother Jim kept a boat
in Little Harbor behind their
house. On many hot summer
days. Jim remembers the two
taking adventures out into the
harbor.
Lyon did not always know he

school in 1962. he attended
Northeastern University in
Boston, but ended up transfer-
ring to Norwich University in
Vermont where he found his
calling in military service.
After graduating from
Norwich, he headed out in
September 1966 to begin his
military career at Fort Knox,
Kentucky.
Lyon served as an instructor
at the Allied Offices Training
Center at Fort Knox, and
trained there for 1 1 months
before embarking on an assign-
ment in August 1967 which
sent him to Panmuajom. South
Korea. On that mission. Lyon
served as a Brigade Adjutant
2nd Brigade 2nd Infantry.
Upon his departure from South
Korea, Lyon received a letter of
appreciation from the Korean
Army Headquarters Lesion
Officer Group Commander for
his efforts.
Eager to move his military
career forward. Lyon volun-
teered for a lour in Vietnam,
and in September 1968. he Kxik
a command in Troop B. 7th
Squares named after
fallen servicemen
CKT John Paul Lyon is one of
many veterans who have been
honored by the town of
Cohasset lor their service to the
country. The town lost seven
other men during the Vietnam
War who have all been memo-
rialized with squares or other
memorials in town including:
• Peter J. Albiani. Jr.:

But on the morning of April

promising future was cut short.
Always a strong leader. Lyon
was organizing and giving
guidance to his troops after
their air assault helicopters
landed in an enemy mine field,
when he was killed in an explo-
sion. Lyon gave his life for his
country just a few weeks after
his 25th birthday.
Vietnam took a heavy toll on
Cohasset. as eight men were
killed including Peter J.
Albiani. Jr.. Peter Cogill. Allen
P. Keating. William C. Laidlaw.
Edward R, Maree, Craig M.
Simeone, Dennis J. Reardon.
and Lyon. Cohasset lost the
same number of soldiers during
World War II.
The worst eight months of
Vietnam were in 1969. when
the town lost live men. four at
six-week intervals. By the end
of the year. Cohasset had sacri-
ficed three men from the
Cohasset High School class of
1966.
To keep the memory alive of
the boy whose smile will never
be forgotten. Cohasset residents
dedicated the John Paul Lyon
Memorial Square in his memo-
ry, located at the intersection of
North Main Street and Joy
Place, not far from his boyhood
home, to ensure the sacrifice he
made for his town and his
country is never forgotten.

HEALTH NOTES
Town needs to control growth by planning and not by sewers
7 DOUO
SPECIAL TO THE MARINER
For two years, it's been obvi-
ous that Avalon, with its vast
resources and record of success-
es was going to become a part
of our community. Those trying
to stop the development had
neither the skill nor the
resources to do so. Instead, they
permitted another large devel-
opment. Cedarmere. and
opposed the only development
really wanted by a majority of
voters in the Town, the Cook
Estate. It is not at all certain the
Cook estate can be saved, even
after the Sewer Commission has
reversed itself and begun to sup-
port an enlarged capacity being
sent by a pipe down 3-A to Hull.
The Hull connection was pro-
posed two years ago. and is fea-
sible only if the Town owns
control of the pipe. Otherwise,
anyone wishing to make a con-
nection along the right of way
would, by state law. be entitled
to do so. Ownership by the town
would bestow some amount of
control, allowing the Town to
limit connections or increases > >l
capacity by existing develop-
ments. This small amount of
control would be much stronger
if a home rule petition proposed
by the Town's legal counsel
were enacted.
Now that the sewer logjam is
past, there are those who say
that there is no more land to be
developed in Town; a patent fal-
lacy. With the connection to
Hull a potential reality, it
behooves the Town in some
way to begin controlling growth
by planning rather than sewer-
ing. Those opposing the cre-
ation of better controls of con-
struction in the Town had better
rethink their approach, or we'll
have another 600 new homes in
two more years. The railroad is
a magnet for builders. Like it or
not. Cohasset has become a
high-growth suburban commu-
nity and there will be a price to
pay.
No one has considered the
more peripheral concerns with
the fallout of three large devel-
opments coming to town and its
effect on elements of the infra-
structure. Perhaps the most
important is that the Central
Sewer plant, approved for
Register to vote for Special Town Meeting
Friday. April 29. will be the new home. Registration
last day to register to vote for
the upcoming May 21. Special
Town Election. Registration
sessions will be held at the
Town Clerk's office on April
29. from 9 a.m. to S p.m.
Any citizen of the United
Stales who is a Massachusetts
resident and who will be 18
years old on or before a town
meeting or Flection Day may
register to vote. There is no
waiting period to be eligible to
register to vole. If you move,
you may register to vote as
soon as you move into your
closed for a brief period before
each town meeting and elec-
tion to allow election officials
time to prepare the voting lists.
If you register during a
"closed" period, you will be
eligible to vote only in later
town meetings or elections.
Elections are generally held
at the Town Hall Auditorium.
Because of a previously sched-
uled event, the election will be
held at the Second
Congregational Church
(which is adjacent to the Town
Hall) from 8 a.m. to ft p.m.
400.000 gallons effluent will be
sought after by every builder
with a few homes having the
necessary proximity.
In spite of those that say there
is plenty of capacity at Central
after Little Harbor is connected,
there is almost no additional
capacity. And. hanging over the
heads of the Sewer Commission
is the specter of increased oper-
ating costs, failing systems in
and near the central district. It
behooves the Sewer
Commission to provide for a
substantial reserve capacity for
nearby on-site Systems which
have not yet been identified and
for inevitable unexpected
glitches in the new technology
being used in the Central plant
A second problem is the
unrecognized threat these new
developments will pose for
stormwater disposal.
Cedarmere especially. Cohasset
stormwater regulations are piti-
fully inadequate and Cedarmere
will be dumping still more
stormwater into the Gulf. It's a
certainty thai the Gulf will get
worse before it gets better.
Water coming from
Cedarmere. existing homes on
Beech wood Street and otter
new developments in the area
will inundate Pegrams brook
and without better stormwater
control, we'll have another
Straits Pond on the south side of
Cohasset. It's already a facl thai
the Harbor with its enonnous
inflow of fresh water from the
Gulf. Scituaie's Musquashicul
Pond and James Brix.k now has
more fresh water than it can sus-
tain without alteration of its
ecosystem.
And. as to the pipeline to Hull,
the difference between the Hull
plant and the Cohasset plant is
space. The Cohasset plant has a
small footprint which is unex-
pandable because it's in a wet-
land, and in ihe middle of Town.
There's no rtx>m to expand, and
nobody wants a huge plant in
the middle pf Town. The Hull
plant has space to assign a larg-
er area to effluent treatment, and
can therefore potentially
process wastewater more eco-
nomically. Moreover. Hull has
adequate hydraulic capacity,
that is. they can process large
amounts of effluent water.
The Hull capacity is limited
by the ability to treat the efflu-
ent. Ihe so-called BOD capacity.
But since they have room they
can construct such capacity.
And. it's unlikely lhat they
would wanl to change any
arrangement ihey make with
Cohasset once their treatment
capability has expanded since it
represents an income stream to
Ihem. The state will be paying
for some of ihe Hull plant
usage, since Ihe plant will be
picking up effluent from the set-
tling pond caused by the Mass
Highway salt pile on 3-A.
Most of us have little interest
in these matters, as we're part of
the apathetic majority to whom
il doesn't matter. Thank God
there are a few who care.

EDITORIAL
A new day
Trees and flowers are about to burst forth with color.
You can feel it. at last.
As warmer days become a common occurrence, we're
hopeful that we are emerging from our "winter of discon-
tent" in more ways than one.
Now with the Town Election and Town Meeting behind
us, we sense there's a new energy, renewed focus and
determination to think "outside the box."
Cohasset laces myriad challenges, not the least of which
are the pressures of development and fiscal reality.
Finding the right balance is going to be key. There are
opportunities out there - we're sure of it - to be more effi-
cient, find savings, and develop or uncover sources of
revenue, all the while ensuring that Cohasset stays the
lovely, seaside community that it is.
This needs to be accomplished without pitting school
needs against public safety and maintenance of our roads,
buildings and parklands. There's also a real urgency to
ensure Cohasset has some level of economic diversity
within its borders and doesn't become solely a haven for
the well-to-do. Affordable housing has got to be a priori-
ty-
The village project needs to move ahead so downtown
shops, restaurants and businesses can thrive. Excuse us
but "our slip is showing" in the village. Some may insist
that it is quaint, but to outsiders who will come to town to
spend their money, the place looks rundown and in need
of sprucing up. despite the creative efforts of shop own-
ers. New sidewalks would make a huge difference.
It's also important that the Ripley Road area somehow
be incorporated into the downtown "feel" so folks realize
the v illage goes beyond the lop of South Main Street.
We think Route 3A is a potential gold mine, especially
with the prospect of the train station at the old Graham
Waste/Winter Garden site. Much of the highway commer-
cial business district is in need of redevelopment - there's
got to be a way to make that attractive to property owners
without compromising abutter, zoning or public safety
issues. Staying on top of traffic issues along the state
highway is going to be an important challenge.
We also think the Master Plan needs to come down off
the shelf. Let's reconvene the Master Plan committee, if
only to review the objectives of the plan and go over how
to get from "Point A to Point B." There ought to be quar-
terly updates, with measurable goals - letting townspeo-
ple know where the "vision" of the Master Plan stands
and what, if anything needs adjusting in light of unfore-
seen events.
In our years of covering Cohasset, there's been one con-
stant: talented people who care about this town. The brain
trust here is huge. So let's continue to tap thai and move
forward. The next five years is going to set the stage for
the next 50 years. We think there are plenty of people in
town willing to roll up their sleeves and devote their time
to both planning and implementation.
We need to stop to think: what will our children and
grandchildren say about Cohasset? Did we do all we
could to protect this little corner of heaven?

ETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Overcoming challenges
To the Editor:
The 2005 town elections are now behind
us, and I would like to thank all the towns-
people who came out lo vole, and also my
supporters for the work they did on my suc-
cessful campaign for selectman. Also. I
would like lo say thai I appreciate the excel-
lent campaigns run by both my opponents,
Debbie Shadd and Fred Koed.
There are many challenges facing the town,
and I will do my best to do my part in over-
coming them. The most immediate challenge
is the Proposition 2-1/2 override vole, slated
for Saturday. May 21.1 believe it is important
that the town pass this vote to give us short-
lerm financial balance and continuity of our
town and school programs and services,
while providing elected officials wirh some
breathing room to work on long range solu-
tions to reigning in our taxation.
I recently studied the "Cohasset Senior
Housing Survey" done in 2000. The study
underlined to me thai the biggest issue facing
seniors is the high taxation in town. Unless
taxation can be broughi under control, many
seniors will not be able to afford Cohasset.
regardless of housing options. This is ihe
longer range challenge thai we mast work on.
once we are beyond (hopefully successfully!)
the May 21 override vote.

Cook Estate is worth saving
to the Editor:
The many critics of the Cook project
remind me of the blind men of Hindustan
who went to see the elephant. One felt a leg
and decided thai the animal was like a tree,
one felt its tail and determined thai il was like
a rope, and so on. None could correctly con-
ceive of the whole animal!
The facts are thai Cedamere is approved,
Avalon is sure to hang in until it is. Even so.
unless Cook is saved, we don't have enough
affordable units lo insulate the town from yet
another 40-B intrusion, and one is already
getting suited up to pounce on us. Cook will
provide some positive cash flow to the town,
whereas [he another 40-B will generate less
taxes than the cost of services to it. Hence the
pragmatic thing is to do what it takes to save
Cook.
The proposed pipeline to Hull would not
automatically open 3A lo development
access would be limited by the agreement
between Hull and Cohasset for a finite annu-
al flow, which would be assigned lo ihe four
entities thai fund the pipeline and lo certain
groups of residences adjacent lo Ihe pipeline
as selected by Ihe Sewer Commission. The
four entities are: Avalon. Cedamierc. Cook,
and the Mass Highway Department (which is
disposing ihe effluent from Ihe landfill and
adjacenl areas). The Sewer Commission
would control the negotiations, both Hull and
Cohassel have good reason lo control (limit)
the capacity contracted for.
As for subsidies, we are not subsidizing
Cook, but we will be subsidizing Avalon
annually and also the nexi 40-B by ihe excess
of cost of services over lax revenues.
The only intervention by Cohassel ■•gov-
ernment" is to have been ihe catalyst lor
Ihe maneuvers thai enabled Cohassel to con-
trol how the Cook property is developed and
meet some of our previously established
housing goals, rather than lei ihe properly be
developed in whatever pattern gives the
developer the most profit. What's so bad
about thai kind of intervention'.' It's a lot bel-
ter deal for Cohassel than any 40-B project,
and better than we've got so far from other
developments or are ever likely to get
I'm noi a believer in the government run-
ning anything much, but on ihe other hand
Ihe fellow citizens we elected, appointed, or
volunteered to deal with our housing or other
problems should be expected to do some-
thing to address these issues, and we should-
n'l damn their efforts as "government inter-
ference"."
The Cook project as currenily conceived
helps satisfy moderately-priced housing
needs while being economically viable. At
the I lih hour il is impractical to incorporate
or substiiule response to other desires while
retaining economic viability, and/or ceding
control of Ihe project to a developer with his
own for-profit plan. Nor should we contem-
plate subsidizing a project revised to accom-
modate Ihe preferences of some critics with
taxpayer funds, either directly or flow
through the Cohasset Preservation
Commission .
Our one and only opportunity lo control Ihe
use of the Cook property lo best serve our
moderately priced senior housing needs, and
to stave off another 40-B project, is lo save
the current concept; thai chance will be lost
by diddling fruitlessly wilh downsizing or
other whimsical alternatives. No lime
remains for such indulgences.
Of course there are arguments againsl a
pipeline to Hull, but it does save Cook, and
enables ihe capacity ol Cohasset s treatment
plant to be devoted lo residential needs with-
OUt the Damoclean sword of certain lawsuits

Help with Title 5 systems
to the editor:
Ai the recent Town Meeting, voters agreed
lo sewer ihe Little Harbor/Atlantic Avenue
and the Jerusalem Road Sewer Districts and
For these betterment's to be paid for by the
properties being benefited.
The voters also agreed on the Town con-
tributing to the COM of these projects on a 50-
50 basis contingent upon the voters of the
Town authorizing an override of Proposition
2-1/2. This is (he same approach ihe Town
has laken in the pasl for Ihe North Cohassel
and Central Sewer Districts.
However, having the Town provide assis-
tance to homeowners wilh sewers, but not to
homeowners w ith septic systems is a concern
of many. 1 would like to offer some thoughts
on how to rectify this situation should the
voters authorize the override.
I suggest thai the Board of Health propose
a variation of Article 15 which was with-
drawn from consideration in Ihe past Town
Meeting. At the next Town Meeting, the
Board should request lhai the Town raise and
appropriate $500,000 to be placed in a spe-
cial account. Any homeowner with a failed
septic sysiem could apply for assistance to
bring their system into compliance with Tide
5 requirements and be reimbursed for costs
up lo $I4.(XK) from Ihe account upon suc-
cessful completion of the work. This amount
is equivalent to whai ihe Town expects assist-
ing each homeowner in the Litde
Harbor/Atlantic Avenue and Jerusalem Road
Sewer Districts if the override is approved.
In this way. 35 homeowners with failed
septic systems could be eligible to receive
assistance in the first year. The next year the
Board would reques the balance in the
account lo S500.000. This process should be
continued in subsequenl years.
I agree that if the Town continues to pro-
vide financial assistance for sewer installa-
tions, comparable assistance should be pro-
\ ided lo homeowners with septic systems as
well. I hope lhal the concept I have proposed
might appeal to all homeowners and the
Town.

War of words: Delahunt
tackles Iraq in local forum
Other issues also addressed
By Matthew J. Gill
MGIU»CNC.COM
For (wo hours serious political discussion took
precedence over a number of other spring-related
activities.
On one of this spring's first sunny Saturdays,
approximately 60 residents from across the South
Shore headed inside Norwell Town Hall to take part
in a question and answer session with U.S.
Congressman Bill Delahunt, D-Quincy.
In his introductory address, Delahunt said the
forum held earlier this month would be a chance for
him to listen to members of his South Shore con-
stituency, and answer their questions about national
and local issues.
Those in audience didn't disappoint.
They queried the congressman on numerous
issues, ranging from the War in Iraq to the current
state of Social Security. They also asked about alter-
native energy sources and a possible Palestinian
state.
When Ryan Herling, a 16-year-old student at
Norwell High and a member of the school's Young
Democrats Club, asked Delahunt for his thoughts
on the future of Iraq, the congressman said the
region is "a long way from being stable.
"We've got to get out of there," Delahunt said.
"It's a mess and we're not going to stay there."
Delahunt speculated that Iraq could devolve into a
"fractured region." similar to the Balkans during the
1990s.
"I think we all share a hope that it will be stabi-
lized." he added.
Delahunt said the War in Iraq is costing the United
Stales both a lot of money, and a loss in reputation.
"We've lost credibility all around the world." he
said.
He added that other countries thai are supporting
the new Iraqi government are doing so in the form of
monetary loans to Iraq, but the U.S. government is
"giving ii away."
"We can't fund No Child Left Behind, and build
and [renovatel 5.000 schools in Iraq." Delahunt said.
Former Norwell Selectman David Mayers criti-
cized President George W. Bush for the war.
"I'm concerned about our president," Mayers said.
"Why don't we call (him) a murderer?'
After 9/11, Mayers said those who hijacked the
planes and killed between 2.0OO-3.O0O lives in New
York. Washington DC. and Pennsylvania were
called murderers. But even more innocent lives, he
said, have been lost in Iraq.
Although Delahunt' s criticism of the president was
not as bluni. it was no less harsh.
"This has been the most mis-managed military
adventure in the history of the United Slates." he said.
Delahunt also criticized the president for culling
back on veterans' benefits in a lime when they're
needed ihe most.
Delahum's remarks against the president seemed to
be embraced by others in the audience.
In the parking lot outside, the bumper slicker
affixed lo most vehicles advertised "Kerry/Edwards "
Inside. Norwell resideni Stacey Schacter donned a
shirt-ful of pins with phrases including "Is it 2008
yet?." "I'm blue are you." and "I'm too informed lo
be a Republican."
Delahunt cautioned, however, that Americans who
are against the war. should not blame American sol-
dim for it
"We should never blame the war on the warriors."
he said.
"This is a war for the soul of this country." Scituale
resideni Bill Barton added, "and we are losing the
war-
Barton said he moved from Texas to Massachusetts
recently because he fell he wasn't being represented
in the Lone Star State.
With Democratic Senators Ted Kennedy and John
Kerry, and Congressman Delahunt, Barton said his
beliefs are being well represented.
"You're speaking for me and I'm proud of you," he
said to Delahunt. "We hired you to be our soldier.
Stand up and be our soldier out there."
PH0TOVCRAIG G0EDECKE
US. Congressman Bill IMahum makes a /mini during a public forum for constituents at Norwell
Town Hall. Approximately 60 South Shore voters participated in the question and answer session,
w hich ntised topics such as the War in Iraq. Social Security and mandatory national service.
A Bridgewalcr resident, Fayc George garnered a
round of applause when she asked. "Since World
War II. how many years of peace have we had?"
A member ol Citizens for an Active Community,
George also queried what Democrats have learned
Since Kerry losi in the last presidential election.
Instead of adopting more centrist beliefs, which has
been an issues of discussion among some Democrats
across ihe nation. George said ihe party should
remain true lo its leftist beliefs.
She added that Democrats should consider e;indi-
dates like Dennis Kucinich. one of ihe Democratic
contenders who lost lo Kerry in the party's primary.
Although Kucinich may not have the charisma of
some other candidales. he does have "strong moral
convictions." George said.
Many ai ihe meeting raised questions and concerns
about the future of Social Security.
Paul Lyons, an 83-year-old Weymouth resideni.
BSked Delahunl what should be done to "bail out
Si vial Security."
"Reduce ihe deficit," Delahunt replied. "|and| raise
the caps."
Of even more importance than Social Security,
Delahunt said, is tlx- current state of health care for
many Americans.
"I think we can solve Social Security as it was orig-
inally perceived," Delahunt said "Health care is the
crises, not Social Security."
When the topic of new energy sources was raised,
Delahunl said he supports projects including hybrid
cars and wind energy, as long as they're done right.
Delahunt speculated thai were the United States to
increase its regulations on gas-usage, compelling
automobile manufacturers to produce vehicles that
gel 40 miles per gallon of gas rather than 20
miles/gallon, the nation s energy crises would be
solved
A lack of "political will." Delahunl said, has stalled
advances in this field.
The congressman added thai although he does sup-
ports wind energy technology, lawmakers must be
careful on Nantucket Sound with the proposed Cape
Wind project.
The proposed project, which would site more than
100 wind turbines in the waters off of Nantucket
Sound, has been mired in controversy.
"We've got to be careful with our oceans."
Delahunt said, adding that he would support a thor-
ough study of both the US' Atlantic and Pacific coast-
lines to site similar projects.
Attending the public forum with his u ife Catherine
and son John. Norwell resideni Sheikh Rahman said
because of US policies, the American government is
now poorer lhan Bangladesh, the country where he
was horn.
Bangladesh currently has ii national debtof appn «-
imately S7 billion. Rahman said, hut the country's
debl stands at approximately 17 trillion,
When the conversation turned towards more local
issues, members of the audience commented that
America is losing its "sense of community."
"1 think we all owe our country something,"
Delahunl added. "We need lore-energize ourselves in
terms of commitment to country."
When Delahunl. who pns\ iousl) served in the U.S.
Coast Guard, asked those in the audience if the)
would support a program ot mandator) national ser-
vice, a large majority of attendants raised their hand
"When you go into the service." IX'lahuni said. "
you find out what America is all about."
Pat Bordewieck. a Norwell resident, said she had
the opportunity to witness such a program lirsi hand
when she lived in Norway. As ii was run in Norway
— including opportunities in the military and other
areas of service — the program was of great benefit,
she said.
Before departing lor a similar public forum in
Hyannis Saturday afternoon, IX'lahuni urged those in
attendance to stay inlomied and involved,
"Continue to write, continue to watch and continue
to criticize." he said.
After the meeting. Catherine Rahman said she
respects Delahunl and his views.
"I really feel he told the truth," she said, "and the
country needs to he told the truth."
The Rahman's son. John, added that the forum was
a good way for voters to express themselves, hut In-
said he w ished there were more people in attendance.
"People brought up dungs thai are near and dear DO
their hearts," Norwell Selectmen Chairman John
Mariano said. "IDelahunt] said he came lo listen, and
he did."

I'm sure all you guys will be pleased lo note
that after lo! these 60-odd years, old Jim
Kilroy is still being called on lo serve.
The city of Quincy, where Kilroy has sud-
denly come to rank with the Adamses and the
Hancocks as a favorite son. has resurrected the
wartime phrase "Kilroy Was Here!" in an effort
to lure more tourists off the well-traveled
Boston - to- PI y 1 1 ii >u t h n >ad .

This being wartime, newly built ships Irom
ihe Fore River Shipyard often were rushed into
the conflict without ihe final coal of paint
"Kilroy WHS here." may hav e appeared . m more
battlefields lhan Remember Pearl Harbor."
Fun-loving GIs took to scrawling it in the most
unlikely places.
II was said thai Joe Stalin noted il 00 the wall
of the men's room at the Potsdam Conference
and came out asking Harry Truman. "Who is
this guy Kilroy and why is he following me
around.'" The second wave of occupation
troops in Tokyo found it scrawled on the
Imperial Palace.
Kilroy died in 1962 bul his wife. Margaret,
kepi the fire burning.
"My Jim." she said, "was too old for the
Second World War. And he was too young for
ihe First World War. But he was very proud of
the tribute our American serv icemen paid him
when they adopted his 'Kilroy was here' slogan
as their very own."
Bui Jim Kilroy \ contribution to morale in
World War II might have gone unnoticed if il
had nol been for the Transit Company of
America, w hich in the lale 1940s, sponsored a
contest to find the origin of the catchphrase.
Jim entered the contest and won.
The prize was a 24-fool-long bright orange
antique trolley car. delivered to the Kilroy
home in Halifax on Christmas Eve. Jim was
disappointed bul the nine Kilroy kids were
enthralled. Chalked lo the ceiling of the trolley
car were Ihe words: "Santa was here'"

The Cohasset School
Department and Project Safeguard
announce that the 2005 Spring
Summit for seventh-graders will
be held on May 4. in the Middle
High School Auditorium from
7:50 to 11:50 am. This year's
event promises to be a very infor-
mational and insightful day.
The Spring Summit (previously
known as "Campus on the
Common") is being planned for
both parents and students this year.
Its purpose is to provide young
people and their parents with the
information needed to help them
deal productively with such social
pressures as anorexia divorce,
drinking, drug use. athletic pres-
sure, college admission, etc. Using
parent and student breakout ses-
sions, speakers, peer leaders and
interactive presentations, our goal
is to help the students in making
productive and healthy choices in
their lives.
Commenting on the event Sheila
Toomey said, 'The Spring
Summit can be an important
resource for both students and par-
ents. The pressures and choices
that young people face Uxlay can
be daunting. Within our families,
schools, communities and peer
groups, we have the ability to otter
our youth the support they need for
healthy development. The Spring
Summit is a great resource for
accomplishing this goal.
Motivational speakers, student
peer leaders, special drug ambas-
vtdors. health professionals and
educators will all present at this
event. The day will include sever-
al interactive exercises such as
role-playing and workgroup Ses-
sions for both students and parents.
One of this year's speakers w ill
be Dr. Punyamurtula S. Kishore.
President and Founder of the
National Library of Addictions
(NLA) in Bnxikline. He personal-
ly maintains the NLA. which
offers lectures on addiction related
topics, publishes newsletters and
coordinates interventions. Dr.
Kishore also serves as an associate
physician at Beth Israel
Deaconess Medical Center in
Boston as well as primary care and
addictions medicine specialist
with Primary Care Associates
(Chestnut Hill and Sandwich.:.
Brighton Family Practice and
Addiction Medicine Associates,
Woburn Family Practice.
Springfield Family Practice and
Worcester Family Practice
The day's presentations will also
include the results of a targeted
survey of the Cohasset sixth. ECS
enth. and eighth graders. Anion;-'
other questions, this Hive) asked
students about die types of pres-
sures they may be under and how
they personally have responded to
those stresses.
Most Cohasset youth live
healthy, productive lives and
develop inlo competent, success-
ful adults. The goal of the Spring
Summit is to build on these strong
backgniunds and present our stii-
dents with a positive -oriented pre-
sentation that will help them in
their coming-of-age years.
Through the peer leaders and inter
active formats, as well as by go inc
their parents the information need
ed to guide them, we will assure
the students that they OR valuable
members of our society w ith .i
worthy and fresh perspective. We
will also present the consequences
of making unhealthy, choices
through (Hir drug ambassador pro-
gram, sponsored by the National
Library on Addiction.

Skippers succumb to
Barnstable, 11-10

The Cohassei boss lacrosse
learn has been in a number of
dose games early in Ihe season,
and hase been on holh ends of
the final score
Unfortunately for lhe Skippers,
they were on ihe wrong such end
last Thursday, when ihes tow-
eled to Barnstable and lost an
overtime thriller. 11-10.
Freshman Michael Grimm,
whom head coach Slu Curran
said played a great game for
Cohassei. and junior Aidan
Buick connecled for Ihe gamc-
tying goal in the closing seconds
of regulation. Grimm dodged a
defender and found an open
Buick near lhe net, and he didn't
miss, tying the score at 10.
The Skippers had problems
throughoul ihe game with penal-
lies and other miscues. and lhai is
whai cost them in lhe end.
Shortly after Buick's goal.
Cohasset was called for offsides,
an inopportune moment for a
time-serving call. Barnstable had
lhe possession Io start the extra
frame and. still a man up. scored
less than a minute in lo send
Cohassei home with a lough
loss.
"Were sve disappointed? Yes.
Discouraged.' A little bit,"
Curran said. "Bui. I have to say
I'm very happy with ihe was we
competed against a good learn."
One of the lop players on lhe
day for Cohassei w as senior mid-
dle Joe Durkin. who exemplified
lhe competitive spirit that his
coach lauded.
"In a 4S-minuie game, he's
playing 47 of them, He goes ail
day long." Curran said of
Durkin. "He does face-off- lor
us. and he's a key guy on our
clear. His motor runs on high;
he's always going and going."
The Skippers also continued lo
receive consistent play from fel-
low midfielders Sam Steele and
Mall Cases . Chris Sims started in
goal and made a number of key
saves lo keep his learn in il.
Curran said his team "slu used
some good spark" al Ihe outset of
ihe game, jumping out lo a 3-0
lead. Barnstable came hack,
however, and il w as a close game
Ihroughoul.
The loss dropped Cohassel's
record lo 2-3 on the season, and
they hosi a lough Hollision learn

Softball team hits
a tough stretch
By Evan Deutsch
CORRESPONDENT
There's something about the
Hull peninsula that can casi a
spell on a visiling learn.
In Ihe world of sand-blown
playing fields, lidal currents and
strong winds, ihe luck of the
Cohassei softball team hit a sea-
son low on April l4.The Pirates
handed the Lady Skippers iheir
fourth loss in a row by a 7-2
score.
Any fan who left lhe game
after four innings would have
concluded the two learns
matched up very closely.
Cohassel's Christina Pinkus frus-
trated several Pirate bailers with
her flaw less pitching. By ihe end
of the game, she would amass
ten strikeouts.
Christina benefited from a tal-
ented infield of Erin Liddell at
first. Virginia Spofford al second.
Anna Haggerty in the shortstop
position, and Katie James al Ihe
hot comer. Casey Anderson pro-
vided Pinkus with a solid target

Hitting, pitching and defense.
In Ihe Ihree phases of baseball.
Cohassei has been doing alright
for themselves in two of them.
The defense has been "satisfac-
lory." according to head coach Al
Gallotta. And the pitching - led
by, senior Teddie Slraughn. junior
Chris Bry an and freshman Brian
Hill - has. for lhe most pan. been
faring well.
Il is Ihe hilling, howeser. lhat
needs to pick itself up if the
Skippers are lo improve on their
2-3 record. Senior catcher Luis
Blanco and second baseman Tim
Pilczak have certainly been
delivering, as each has had a few
multiple-hit games so far this
season
Alter that. Gallotta is wailing
for others to step up.
"The problem with us right
now is a lack of hitting from top
to bottom." ihe coach said
Wednesday. "In any given game,
il seems like it's just two or three
guys carry ing Ihe load. We have
to improve offensively by mak-
ing better contact and cutting
down on our strikeouts."
Slraughn and sophomore Nick
Zappolo showed some signs of
life al Ihe plate in the Skippers'
two most recent games, giving
Gallotta hope thai his lineup will
indeed start to produce more.
Both guys had two hits in a 1 2-4
loss io Hull.
Slraughn picked up a couple
more hils lhe next day in a 22- 1
victory Over Souih Shore

Blanco (Ihree RBI on lhe das I

knocked in ihree runs, including
a two-ran triple.

off the Pirates well. Aside from
ihe 5th inning let-up. we played a
pretty respectable game."
Indeed, the 5th inning proved
tire undoing for the Cohasset
nine. The Pirates' bats swirled
faster than the windmill in near-
by Hull Gut. and the Skippers
could not weather lhe sionn.
After a slew of hits and four
Cohassei errors. Ihe Pirates had

The f>ih inning proved no walk

Overall, though. Coach Bostwick
seems optimistic about her team's
potential.
"We have a sturdy defense and an
excellent pitching lineup," she
remarked. 'Our batting will get bet-
ter with time and individual work.
This team shows a lot of promise.
The girls need to believe that too!
More than anything they need to
improve their mental strength."
The Hull game came on the heels
of two lough losses earlier in the
week. On Monday the 1 1th, the
Skippers lost a hard-fought game to
Carver, 2- 1 .
Pinkus pitched all seven innings,
allowing only three hits and three
walks, while striking out five.
Carver scored both runs in the 1st.
with Pinkus and her defense hold-
ing them from there.
Cohasset scored in the 7th, with
Spofford hitting a double with one
out and Liddell hitting a saenfice
fly to left field for Spofford to
advance to third. Sophomore Laura
Campedelli then knocked a base hit
to left for an RBI, scoring Spofford.
Carver right fielder Danielle
Spillane robbed Crowley-Buck of a
double with an over-lhe-shoulder
catch to end the game.
The next day, in a game that was
played in the snow with slippery
field conditions, the girls lost to
Harwich, 11-7.
Hitting well for Cohasset was
James <3-for-4 with a triple and an
RBI), Anderson (2-for-4 with an
RBI) and Liddell (2-for4 with 3
RBI). Crowley-Buck went l-for-3
with an RBI.
Pinkus pitched well in relief,
going five innings, giving up just
one hit and getting nine strike outs.
The Lady Skippers have had
plenty of time to rest over April
vacation. They will look to turn
their season around when they face
Norwell on Tuesday.

CHS tennis teams set for
showdown with Norwell

"We certainly have ihe capabil-
ity of raising our game when it
mailers most," Swartz said. "But
now we have to do it. If we don't
play our besl, il will be tough for
us to win."
As for the girls' side of things, it
is Norwell who has something to
prove to Cohassel. The Lady
Skippers have dominated the
league in recent years, and posted
two solid 4-1 victories over
Norwell lasi season.
Many eyes will be on the first
singles matchup between
Cohasset senior Elizabeth Stone
and Norwell freshman Susan
IS net 1 1 Both are undefeated so far
this year, and have dominated
opponents, rarely losing more
than one game in a set.
For Cohasset. freshman Meg
Anderson has been establishing
herself as a force on ihe singles
circuit, and could very well be al
second singles againsl Norwell's
Taylor Cleaves. Should thai be
the case on Tuesday, thai will be
another great match.
Unlike seasons past, it is tough
to figure out where the points will
he coming from when the girls
square oft. It should make for a
highly entertaining encounter,
one thai Norwell first doubles
player and senior captain Carls
Arena says should be as close as
possible.
"We know it's going to be 3-2
one way or the other." Arena
said. "No one is going to win eas-
ily."
So the stage is set lor Tuesday
with Norwell. The girls match
will be played at Norwell High
School, while the boys will play
al Milliken Field on Bancroft
Road in Cohassel. near the high
school. Both are scheduled to
start at 4 p.m.

Gallotta calls the best pitcher in
the league.
The Cohasset coach says his
lineup should warm up with the
weather, and that will have to
happen if Ihe Skippers are Bo
achieve their goal of making
Ihe stale tournament. Either
way, Gallotta says he has
enjoyed his coaching experi-
ence so far this season.
"I'm really proud of the this
team; they're a good group of
kids," he said. "I haven't had a
bad day with them yet."
"He saw limited minutes going
into the season, but he wailed
patiently and really had a greal

MiteA
I he Coastal Stars Mite A
WHO hegan their playoff series
on Sunday. April 3 against a
tough Brewins team from
Taunton. The Stars had fin-
ished the regular season in sec-
ond place with a record of 17-1-
•* They had played the
Brewins twice hefore. winning
Die lirst with the second game
ending in a tie. Both teams
came ready to play, neither of
them wanting their season to
end with a loss.
The first period saw tight play
form both teams and strong
goal tending at both ends of the
ice The Stars forwards of
(olin MacDonald, Kenny
I'iirncll. Tommy O'Brien,
Brandon Winn, David
1 .it, lido, Brendan Crane,
Martin Buckley. Pal Holway
and Sam Topham had numer-
ous scoring opportunities, but
the Brewins goalie was unflap-
pable against the Stars offen-
sive arsenal. Pat Holway was
finally able to score the first
goal midway through the sec-
ond period skating it up from
center ice and roofed it over the
goalies glove.
B) the end of the second peri-
od the boys and girls from
Taunton had managed to lie the
game up. Tommy O'Brien
scored in the third period with a
wrist shot from the right side to
put the Stars back up by one
with ten minutes left in the
game. The Stars defensemen.
Jeremy Duchini, Charley
Michalowski, Matt Burchili.
Declan Leahy and Charlie
Blackington continued to play
strong defense the remainder of
the game limiting the number
of shots on net for the Brewins.
The few remaining shots that
they did make were stopped
with ease by goalie Jeff Nagle.
who just got better with each
game the Stars played. At the
final buzzer, the Stars won the
game with a 2- 1 score and were
off to the next rounds in the
playoffs. It was such a hard
fought victory, who knew at the
time that this would be the eas-
iest playoff game the Stars
would have.
The final two games in the
South Shore Conference play-
off were held this past week-
end. The Stars had to face the
always competitive Norwood
team early Saturday morning if
they wanted a chance to play in
the Championship game to be
played on Sunday. The Stars
had won the first regular season
game to Norwood but had lost a
tournament game over
Christmas vacation.
The Stars were first to score
five minutes into the first peri-
od when Charley Michalowski
brought the puck up from cen-
ter ice and passed it to Martin
Buckley who chipped past the
strong Norwood goalie. The
defense for both teams played a
strong role in this game, but the
goalie for Norwood and Stars'
goalie Jeff Nagle played out-
standing in the nets. The
Norwood team was unable to
score until late in the second
period making the game tied
alter two. Two minutes into the
third period, Martin Buckley
scored his second goal of the
game off of a pass from Sam
Topham.
With six minutes remaining in
the third, the kids from
Norwood were able to get by
the defense and slipped on in to
once again tie the game. At the
end of regulation time, the
game was lied 2-2. Had this
beer, a regular season game,
thai would have been the end of
it. But in all playoff situations
there must be one winner. So
the iwo teams continued to play
for not just one, but three five
minute over time periods.
The Stars seemed to control
(he play for most of this, how-
ever, the Norwood goalie kept
them out of the net. Jeff Nagle
l„r the Stars appeared to stay
calm ;md i" control as if he has
played undei this pressure hun-
dreds of limes. Finally, with
only |() second left in the third
overtime. Sam Topham
bounced a shot off the goalie's
nusk and. as he has done many
limes throughout the season.
Coin, MacDonald was in posi-
tion to knock in the rebound for
the winning goal. The Stars
were going to the finals after a
3-2 victory. The parents and
friends in the stands, who were
losing their voices from cheer-
ing on the boys, were almost as
elated as the eight and nine year
olds on the ice.
The Stars' third and final
playoff game was held on
Sunday April 10 in Randolph.
It was truly a south shore final
with the boys from Marshfield
and Cohasset facing a very
competitive team from
Duxbury. The teams were
evenly matched as should be
the case in the finals. Either
team could win this game.
The first period was a back
and forth battle, with a number
of scoring opportunities for
both teams, but the two goalies
were not letting anything pass
them. After one period of play,
it was 0-0. The Stars scored
first when Colin MacDonald
shot the puck past the Duxbury
goalie off of a rebound from
Tommy O'Brien. The lead was
short lived as the Duxbury team
tied it up less than four minutes
later.
After two. the game was tied
l-l. Duxbury scored early in
the third period and the game
went back to a show of the
goalies. The Stars boys stayed
at it and finally with f> minutes
left in the game. Sam Topham
made a centering pass to Martin
Buckley who shot it past the
weak ~ide of the goalie. Maybe
not a hat trick for Martin, but
the three goals in the two games
made the difference in keeping
the Stars alive for overtime
play. Jeff Nagle managed to
stare down a one on one by a
strong offensive player from
Duxbury and denied him of a
goal to keep the game tied.
Neither team was able to
score for the remainder of the
game, so for the second time in
as many days, the Coastal Stars
were going to overtime.
Throughout the first overtime
there was plenty of skating,
passing, back checking and
shooting on net. but no one was
able to gel one in the net.
Halfway through the second
overtime, the line of Colin
MacDonald. Brandon Winn
and Charley Michalowski were
able to put enough pressure at
the Duxbury end of the ice. that
Charley was able to lift one
over the goalie.
The Stars Mite A team
became the South Shore
Conference Champions!
The Coastal Star Mite As had
an outstanding season. I wish I
could have mentioned all of the
outstanding plays by all of the
boys, both offense and defense,
but this article would be even
longer than it already is. Jeff
Nagle was the Playoff MVP
because without his outstand-
ing plays in net the team would
not have gotten this far. The
boys played as a team all year
and just like the New England
Patriots, that is why they won
the Championship game.
No one superstar, just a group
of boys who love to play hock-
ey who learned to work togeth-
er. They were fortunate to have
a great group of dedicated
coaches. Tim Leahy, Tim
Burchili and Charlie Parnell
These men work with the team
two times a week for seven
months. Their dedication, and
the dedication of all the Stars
coaches at all the levels of
hockey offered by the Coastal
Stars, is second to none!
Thanks Coaches for a great
year and a great experience.
Enjoy your time off, summer
hockey starts in two months!

There are two terrible things
that can happen on April 16.
I.) You receive an IRS notice
with these nasty three words:
"You're being audited!" or 2.)
Your team is lacing the Coastal
Stars in the semi finals! Pick
your poison!
Norwood chose the later...
On Saturday. April 16 - a date
when mosl people were pack-
ing for vacation, the Coastal
Stars coach Ken Sheldon was
working the X's and O's on the
chalk board for a short handed
hockey team.
A.) Lose, and you break out
the golf clubs. B. ) Win. and you
get to pack ihe hockey bag one
more time because you're
heading to Ihe finals! The Stars
circled choice B!
At 9:04 of the first period.
Chase Sheldon fed a pic-
turesque pass to Kevin
Friedland. Friedland fiddled
and diddled all the way to the
Norwood net and blasted a roof
top wrist shot! 1-0 Stars!! Then
at 6:37 of Ihe first frame.
Tucker Welch lit ihe lamp w ith
assists from Adam Haskell
and Kd Tobin.
Period two started with an all
out Norwood attack - only to be
suffocatedby the Stars awe-
some defense. Look up defense
in Webster's and you'll see a
picture of Mark McGoldrick.
Christopher Lund, Sam
Asnault and Jason Tolman.
All four men gave Stars goal-
lender Michael Soucey a day
without heavy lifting! At 12:17
of the 3rd period, Norwood cut
the lead in half. The Stars
answered that score with goal
#2 from Tucker Welch with
Christopher Lund and Sam
Asnault on the assists.
Norwood wouldn't quit: after
pulling the goalie, they cut the
lead to I at 2:08 of the final
period.
It was a great effort by
Norwood; however the Stars
put the frosting on the cake
with 38 seconds remaining in
the contest: McGoldrick to
Tolman to Jack (The BigShow)
Condon. Condon fired at the
empty bucket and gave Ihe
Stars a decisive 4-2 lead and a
ticket to the finals.
Circle April 23 on your calen-
dar- one local team will still be

April 10. 2005 a beautiful
Sunday morning, 60 degrees
with a light westerly breeze.
Should I golf or fish today?
Hmmmm Keep the clubs
in the trunk, the fishing rod in
the closet, and grab the "Six
Pack" and their teammates
because the Coastal Stars Mile
B are still playing hockey!
The Frozen Four has melted
to The Tundra Two. It was The
Stars vs. Braintree in the finals,
two teams with the highest
(coaching) payrolls and the
biggest stars. Hold onto your
beers (and refrain from spilling
them on Sheffield) because this
is the Sox and Yankees of youth
hockey.
Playing in front of a packed
house at the Randolph Ice
Arena for the Championship,
both teams were ready for an
intense match-up. The Stars
came out a bit unprepared for
the onslaught of the lleet-skat-
ing Braintree team. And
Braintree capitalized on this by
scoring the first goal at 1 3:07.
But as countless champi-
onship-caliber teams have

learned throughout the history
of hockey, the come from
behind victories are the sweet-
est. This is especially true when
an opposing net minder was at
the top of his game - and Stars
goalie Kal Maier was HOT!
Additionally, the deadly
blend of size and speed on
defense was evident when
watching what's become
known throughout the league as
the Coastal Stars Mite B "SIX
PACK": Declan Leahy,
Patrick Graham, James
Hussey, Aiden Beresford,
Jack Evitts, and Joey
Kedfearn. Goal scorers get the
press clippings and the chicks,
but DEFENSE wins hockey
games. And for this "no-name"
defense, it was just another day
at the office, but without the
water cooler gossip, because
these guys were on a mission.
Entering the 2nd frame with a
one goal deficit, the Stars need-

Curtis Golden dug the puck
out of the offensive corner and
shuffled a pass to Michael
Lund. Lund sent a stick to stick
pass to Robert Reidy - Reidy
blasted a "one timer" to the
back of the net to even the score
l-l.
The go-ahead goal came from
the offensive line of Bryan
Bowman, Matt Doyle, and
Brendan Evitts - looking like
men against boys. This trio has
been firing on all cylinders and
it showed today: Doyle won a
face off in the offensive zone,
backhanded a pass to B. Evitts
who. in turn, sent a laser pass to
Bowman in the slot. Bowman
riffled a wrist shot top right cor-
ner to give the Stars the go-
ahead goal, making the score 2-
I.
The 3rd period started with
outstanding two-way hockey
from the line of Jeff Powers,
Tucker Ambrose, and Sam
Rice. This line is big and phys-
ical, and continuously banged
the boards to stifle any and all
Braintree rushes. Bowman
cemented the victory when at
4:11 of the final period he
gained the blue line and blasted
a snap shot that whistled past
the glove-side hand of the
Braintree goalie. With a final
score of 3-1 in favor of the
Stars, we all could savor their
incredible (38-3-2) season and
bask in the limelight as the
World Champion Stars!
As this will be my last literary
effort of the season. I'd like to
take a moment to reflect on the
growth of these players. Back
in the fall, coming together
from various areas on the south
shore, our team was selected.
Of course there was enthusiasm
and high hopes, but there were
also a lot of questions. To see
these young men go from "The
Bad News Bears on ice" to the
"Miracle on Ice" was truly an
incredible experience. The fact
that over the past nine months
these young men have grown in
so many ways: teamwork.
endurance, enthusiasm, perse-
verance, and friendship.

Evan's Run set
for May 22
The 5th Annual Evan's Run has
been scheduled for Sunday. May
22 at 10:30 a.m. at Norwell High
School.
The race, which offers a 5K run
and walk and a I OK run. is
named in honor of Evan Henry, a
Norwell native who passed away
in July of 2000 at the age of 1 1 ,
Evan was aulistic. and the
Henry family decided soon after
his passing to set up a founda-
tion that raises funds for organi-
zations that help autistic children
like Evan. Thus, the Evan Henry
Foundation was bom.
The first Evan's Run had great
numbers, but attendance and par-
ticipation has waned in the last
three years. The Foundation has
organized quite an event this
year, including live entertain-
ment from the Jon Frattasio
Band. There will be a bandstand
set up at the high school, where
the race begins and ends, and the
entertainment is scheduled for 8
a.m. to noon.
A pott-race party has also been
planned, and will be held at
McGreal's Tavern in Norwell
Center. Festivities there are set to
begin around 1 p.m.
Cost to register for the race is
$20 ($10 for the various chil-
dren's races that have also been
set up), with proceeds going to
the Evan Henry foundation. If
you just want to watch the race
and enjoy the music, that is total-
ly free of charge.
For more information about the
race, or to register, go to the
Foundation's website.
www.evanhenry.org. or call the
race hotline at 617-347-2068.

antibiotic penicillin. She said to begin her project, she visited the South Store Hospital microbiol-

tom of the petrie dish is agar, a gelatinous substance which bacteria can grow on. Anya said she

Sk k person \ mouth, and some f mm her toilet bowl at home. She let the bacteria go to work in
the dishes, and found when she used a plain piece of bread without preservatives, and just a few
drops a/ water in a warm, dry place, it yielded mow bacteria than anything else. In addition.
. \nya exposed the agar in a few different petrie dishes to a dirty hand, a hand washed with
antibat tcruil soap, and a hand washed with soap and water to see which kinds of bacteria she

Right C 'hristina I leaky conducted an experiment of the mind. She created her own flash cards
with color names written on them. However, she wrote the words in a different color ink than the

through the flash cards with subjects, asking them to read what they saw and sav the color out

she found out of the II people who participated in her experiment, moiv adults said the woid they

Above: Testing the effect of preservatives on food. Whitney Jape experimented with four different
types of french fries to see which would spoil first. She tested fries from Burger King. McDonald's
and Wendy's, as well as a homemade butch. Whitney said she thought the homemade fries would
begin producing mold the fastest because they did not have any preservatives, and she was right.
However, the fries with the preservatives ended up with fust as much mold as the homemade fries
over a time span of 30 days, which led her to believe that while ptvserxatives don t stop mold
entirely, it can inhibit its growth for a lime.

Budding scientists show their talents at Deer Hill fair
£#m/y Slanislawzyk's project studied whether or
not music has an effect on the growth of plants.
Armed with Jour flower pots, she planted an
even amount of petunia seeds in each pot. and
tended to them all with the same water and sun-
light conditions. However, two of her pots were
placed next to a radio and treated to the sounds
of Mix °H.5 FM. which seemed to have a posi-
tive influence. Of the two pots which listened to
■ music, sprouts began popping through the soil
. in nine days, while it took 10 days for the non-
'. musical plants to sprout. In addition, the musi-
; cat plants had more sprouts in their individual
; pots than the non-musical plants. Emily said
I she had not anticipated music would affect her
; plants, hut she was pleasantly surprised.
While most children are told not to play with
their food, Jamie Timothy's experiment centered
around the popping ability of popcorn. He
questioned whether corn popped on the stove
would be fluffier than corn popped in the
microwave, and although he had predicted
stove-popped kernels would he fluffier, much to
his astonishment, the corn from the microwave
was significantly larger. Timothy compiled
graphs of the different popping variables and
showed examples of the two types of corn.
Those popped in the microwave were obviously
much larger
David Williams 'project. "Sunshine on my
shoulders makes me happy,'' tested the affect
sunlight has on plants. He took two identi-
cal plants and kept one in the shade and
gave the other abundant sunlight, and chart-
ed the progress or decline in their condition.
Just as he suspected, the plant without sun-
light began m will rather quickly, while the
plant which was showered in sunlight
thrived.
Taylor Gob took a stab at growing his own
crystaLs. similar to the stalactite 's found in
caves. He wanted to see if he could grow crys-
tals using water and baking soda in a week or
less. With two glass jars and a string tied
between, he experimented with the amount of
baking soda used in each batch to see what
combination yielded the best crystals. He said
he had a great time tracking their progress
ewry day. watching to see how many more
would appear.

MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE
Many people with hearing
impairments reject the idea of
being fitted with a hearing instru-
ment on the basis that it will stig-
matize them. This perception is
largely borne of a culture steeped
in the culture of youth. Whether
one agrees or not, there is no
argument that the present genera-
tion of hearing instruments are so
small as to render them nearly
invisible. For instance, complete-
ly-in-the-canal (CIC) instruments
are so small that they fit entirely
in the ear canal. Even instru-
ments of the next largest size, in-
thc-canal (ITC) devices, are so
small as to be barely noticeable.
These diminutive instruments all
but remove one of the biggest
objections that many have to
being fined for a hearing instru-
ment.
Hearing loss can affect people of
all ages. The good news is that
with the latest hearing aul tech-
nology, virtually all hearing prob-
lems can be helped. It takes the
extensive training and skills of
a Board Certified hearing
Instrument Specialist, however,
to really make the difference At
FAMILY HEARING CARE
CENTER, we are dedicated to
helping the hearing impaired
maximize their hearing potential.
From initial testing and consulta-
tions to precise fittings and
follow-up care, you can confi-
dently rely on our compassion
and abilities here at 534 Mala
Street (Rt. 18). across from the
Stetson Bldg. in mouth
PH: 781-337-1 144. We also have
an office in Abington.
P.S. Research indicates that 90%
of consumers perceive complete-
l\-m-the-canal instruments to be
completely invisible.

Timbuktu is practically a synonym for the most
remote, mysterious and inaccessible of places. Well,
not anymore. Not even for a cruiser.

during a series of 16-day Wesl Africa cruise tour, that
feature a seven-day sailing aboard the 34-passenger

Is Cook
cooked?
Scaled-back
project floated
By Samarttha Brown
SAMBHOWNSCNC.COM
The Cook Estate may have
cleared a huge hurdle Tuesday as
developers offered to scale back
the project by 30 units to allow
wastewater to be disposed of on
site. But a change in scope could
require the project to go back to
square one and time is not a luxu-
ry the town has.
Selectmen have posted a meet-
ing for today (Friday. April 29 at
5 p.m.) to discuss the town's
options. At the time the Mariner
went to press yesterday, it was
unclear if that meeting would be
necessary.
Town officials were waiting to
hear whether extending a waste-
water-solution deadline agreed
upon in the purchase and sale
from Saturday. April 30 to
Tuesday. May 3 would be accept-
able with the Cook Estate heirs.
If the heirs agree, the board will
meet Tuesday evening with coun-
sel to make a final decision on
whether to work with Northland
Residential to bring the reduced
project to fruition or call it quits.
However, the Cook Estate heirs
indicated through a letter written
by their consultants at LandVest.
that they are not inclined to grant
further extensions of the purchase
and sale agreement for the Sohier
Street property.
But in light of the recent pro-
posal to scale the project back, the
town decided it must ask for a
few more days in order to meet
with counsel. The town has
entered into three amended pur-
chase and sale agreement with the
Cook heirs thus far. Delays have
been due to the fact soils at the
site cannot handle the wastewater
from 95 units; hooking up to the
town sewer is not an option,
according to the sewer commis-
sion.
With a reduction in the si/e of
the project, from 95 units to 65.
the scope may be changed

As of Wednesday. Fire Capt.

life-saving shocks to patients in

with the devices, and training to
be completed to ensure there is
always someone nearby who
knows how to use the machines.
"This should get us rolling."

"We were very lucky," said

Open Meeting Law complaint filed
Karen Quigley. 27 Clay
Spring Road, tiled a complaint
with the District Attorney's
office alleging the Board of
Selectmen violated the Open
Meeting Law by failing to post
a meeting in a timely manner. A
meeting was held April 4 at
Town Hall, which dealt with the
Cook Estate, and although it
was posted Friday. April I and
technically me( (he 48 hour noti-
fication required by the Open
Meeting Law. Town Hall closes
at I p.m. on Friday and does not
open again until Monday morn-
ing, which may not have given
residents adequate time to
become informed about (he
meeting.
"I doub( the good faith
involved in this posting, and
whether it does meet the spirit of
the law," Quigley stated in her
letter.
Quigley said at that meeting,
two selectmen. Ralph
Dormit/er and Fred Koed. ques-
(ioned whether (he meeting
should proceed in light of the
posting question, but (he major-
ity decided it was an informa-
tional meeting and il could pro-
ceed as long as no decisions
would be made.
•The topic of (he meeting is
quiie controversial, and I
believe (he intent was lo avoid

an opposition. I found OUI about
(he meeting by chance in speak-
ing with Ralph. In all fairness,
following my conversation with
Ralph, the Town Manager's
office did call to inform me of
(he meeting." she wrote.
Quigley also pointed oul lha(
traditionally, (here are no meet-
ings held between Town
Meeting and Election Day. as
was the case that week, and the
meeting w as held on a Monday
night, even though the board
typically meets on Tuesdays.
In addition. Quigley said all
three members of the Sewer
Commission were in attendance
and it never posted for (he meet-
ing. 'To circumvent the Open
Meeting Law. these commis-
sioners sat in the public seating
area and spoke as "private citi-
zens.' However, they replied to
questions posed by (he select-
men only in regard (o sewer
issues," she wrote.
The DA's office has reques(ed
(he Board of Selectmen respond
and explain the circumstances
of (he posting and has also
asked for an explanation from

be very critical moments. It can
be the difference between life
and death." she said.
While the schools are up and
running. South Shore Hospital
docs not yet have a set protocol
for bringing AEDs into public
buildings, and therefore an
agreement has not been made
with the town which would
enable the machines to be
installed in places such as Town
Hall, the Paul Pratt Memorial
Library and the Senior Center.
However, Silvia said in his per-
sonal opinion, it makes more
sense to have one medical direc-
tor overseeing the entire program
than splitting it betw een two enti-
ties, which is why the department
has chosen to continue working
with the hospital to come up with
an agreement thai works for
everyone involved.
"My personal thought is that
there should be one director for
the whole program." he said.
Silvia said he hoped to be able
to meet with representatives
from the hospital potentially as
early as this week, and added he
believes the agreement that
would be settled upon would be
similar to the agreement the hos-
pital has with the school build-
ings.

some which were purchased as a
resiill of fund-raising or dona-
tions Bom residents. Any AEDs
installed around town will be
regularly inspected by members
of i he lire department to make
sure the equipment is working
properly
The ultimate goal of the fire-
department is to meet the
requirements of a "heart-safe"
community, which means having
equipment on hand that even
someone with minimal training
can use to save the life of some-
one who has gone inlo cardiac
arrest. Studies have shown if a
person can be detibrillated wilh-
in one lo two minutes of going
into sudden cardiac arrest, there
is an 80 percent chance of sur-
vival. However, that survival
rale decreases with every passing
minute, and with a delay of 10
minutes, there is a less than 5
percent chance the person will be
able lo pull through.
The AEDs the department has

tion to the program, including
graduating high school seniors.
Smullen first became
involved with Girl Scouts in
I960, when her daughter
Christine was in second grade.
Smullen said she received a
call from a leader, who was
also a teacher at one of the
local schools, who was con-
tacting the mother of every
second grade girl in the town to
see if they would be interested
in helping out with Girl Scouts.
"I told her. I don't know
anything about Girl Scouting."
but she said I could learn right
along with the rest of them."
Smullen said, and that was all
it took for her to become
involved.
At that time. Smullen said the
badges the girls in her troop
earned were somewhat differ-
ent from what the girls today
are learning. She said the)
would learn to sew and to cook
and other various domestic
skills, but as the years went on.
she remembers bringing a
Cohassel resident in to speak to
the girls about taking care of
the cars they would one day
have, including how to change
the oil. Today. Girl Scouts are
earning badges in aeronautic
and technical categories. "The
girls have branched out so
much since then." she said.
Smullen said from year to
year, she always tried to have a
well-rounded troop and expose
them to a variety of different
experiences, and camping was
always a big part of that agen-
da. "I think camp helped the
girls become self-reliant, while
at the same time teaching them
teamwork." she said.
Kvery year. Smullen and her
girls would leave on a Friday
afternoon for a camping desti-
nation. Sometimes they would
camp out at Long Pond in
Plymouth, or Brewster on Cape
Cod. but they even traveled as
far as Virginia.
"We tried them all and we'd
be gone for the whole week-
end." said Smullen.
Before every camping trip.
Smullen said the girls in her
troop would spend several
weeks planning. They would
write down the various things
they wanted to do on their trip
and because "we couldn't do
everything." the troop as a
whole would take a vote. The
troops would also vote on
meals they would make while
on their trip, over an open fire.
Smullen said her girls would
also go camping in the winter.
Her troops would typically be
comprised of roughly 30 girls
in grades four through six.
which is much less than the
typical 10 girl troop of today,
and the winter camping trips
were a special treat for the old-
est girls in the troop. However.
Smullen said Mother Nature
never cooperated, and as much
as they might hope, it would
never snow during their winter
camping excursions. But the
weather didn't matter when the
girls went on indoor camping
trips to the Boston Children's
Museum and the Museum of
Science.
But for all her years of expe-
rience. Smullen said it look her
a long time before she would
brave the great outdoors.
"It took me a while to go

camping." she admits, adding
there were always volunteers
that were willing to take the
girls on the trip, and she was
happy to oblige. But one year,
she was asked again to come-
along and thought to herself.
"What the heck. I ll go." and
she was hooked.
But these days Smullen is
happy to sleep in her own bed
rather than a tent or cabin in the
woods.
"I just can't keep up with
these young girls anymore."
she quipped. However.
Smullen said she still sub-
scribes to Leader Magazine,
the quarterly national maga-
zine lor adults in Girl Scouting,
to keep abreast of what the
girls in scouting are doing. "It
makes me nostalgic." she said,
Smullen said she still keeps
in touch with her former troop
members and last summer, one

some fellow troop members to
her house for dinner.
"We all had a good time rem-

said if nothing else, she hopes
the years she spent serving as a
Girl Scout leader had a positive
impact on those in her troops,
and that her goal ol making
each year a little belter than the
last came true.

Ralph Domiit/er. However, he
asked wh\ Northland couldn't

four months ago when there
would have been lime to figure
QUI whether the project would
need to go out to bid again.
I>>rmil/cr said in his opinion,
(here is a good possibility negoti-
, iiions would need to begin again
because it is such a material

not have the lime.

prociia'menl laws bv enabling his
companv lo build the project on a

project would siav the same —
including the sale price lor the
combined Cook and adjacent
town-owned land, which has
been set at $5.25 million —
except it would be built on a
smaller, but esactlv proportionate
scale.
"I really ihink you have an
opportunitv before you." said
Daw ley, adding his companv has
a commitment lo ensuring the
mix of units remain the same as
well as the level of affordability.
"I challenge you to have the
conviction to gel something

and Cix)k heirs will receive the
compensation they expected,

a reduction in units, the lown will
not have to worry about giving
away sewer capacity for the pro-
ject, and the company is willing to
either give back the town's land
or enter it into permanent conser-
vation for further open space.
Dawley added he believes a
change in the si/£ of the project
will not require a Town Meeting
vote for approval, and new nego-
tiations would not need to take
place. "It's not our style to make
threats, but if it goes in a direction
like that we'll do everything we
can to protect our interests."
adding his company has spent a
lot of time and money digging
holes at the South Shore Music
Circus, the library, and neighbor's
property to try to find percable

But Dormitzer said in his view,
the changes are significant and
asked Dawley if his company
would be willing to indemnify the
town against others who may
have bid on the project if they had
known the town would have
accepted something on a smaller
scale.
However. Town Counsel Rod
Hoffman said in his opinion, if ihe
project is given the go-ahead and
it is found to be in violation of
pnxruremeni laws, virtually any
developer could sue Ihe town,
whether they bid on the project
beforehand or not which leaves
the town vulnerable on many
fronts.
To ease the minds of the board
somewhat George McGoldrick.
one of the developers who bid on
the project, came forward and
said for the record, he w ill not sue
the town if Northland moves for-
ward with a smaller project. "You
will have no chapter 30B issue
from us." he said.
Voters at the 2(X)3 Special Town
Meeting approved the allocation
of $4.5 million for ihe purchase of
the 22-acre Cook parcel of land
which was then marketed with
the town's adjacent 8.7 acres of
land for $5.25 million for senior
housing. The lown is crying to

Do they help or hurt the budget?
Multi-unit projects can
impact the bottom line
By Same
SAMBROWNWCNC.COM
There are three potential developments on
Cohasset's horizon and the specifics of each
continue to change, making it difficult to pin
down the exact financial gains or losses the
town could expect in the future.
With very little affordable housing in town,
developers have come to the table with plans
to provide if But there are up sides and
down sides to every proposal which will
greatly impact the lown in both positive and
negative ways. Residents, in turn, have
become very passionate in their views
regarding which projects should move ahead
and which plans should be thrown out with
the trash.
The argument has been made thai building
the Avalon, Cedarmere and Cook projects
will bring in revenue to the town, and are
therefore a benefit. However, the added
pressures of new people in the community
could put a strain on town services.
Director of Finance Michael Buckley said
building permits are a one-time source the
lown can count on if the projects are built.
Building permit fees are added to the operat-
ing budget, and are based according to the
value of the construction. Depending on
how the projects are ultimately built, the
town could receive anywhere front roughly
S4O0.000 lo $600,000 depending on the
number and type of units which are built.
"Property taxes are considered new
growth," Buckley said, adding they too can
be counted on, and will add to what the town
can raise under Prop. 2-1/2 — the state law
that caps the amount a town can raise its tax
levy from year to year. Excise taxes would
also be added lo the operating budget.
However, bringing new residents to town
could cost more money, as it will need to pro-
vide the same services to a larger number of
recipients.
Buckley said roads to the developments
will most likely be built to (own standards
and the DPW may end up being responsible
for keeping them clear, and plowing would
he an additional cost to the town.
"Ordinarily people in senior housing don't
cause too much trouble." Buckley said,
which will likely mean the police department
will not be affected, however, senior housing
developments typically increase activity at
ihe fire department through ambulance runs.
Buckley pointed out that because the lown
runs its own ambulance service. Ihe town
would be reimbursed for some of Ihe costs
associated with any extra runs.
"There will be an incredibly
negative impact on the
town financially to bring in
400 to 500 brand new
! units in the next
— Peter Pran, planning board
But the real looming financial question is
what happens to the schools if there is a sud-
den influx of students. With the develop-
ment of senior housing, "empty nesters"
have someplace to flock to, so to speak.
Young families with children could move to
the area, increasing enrollment at Ihe schools
and putting a heavy burden on an already
thinly-stretched school budget.
"There will be an incredibly negative
impact on the lown financially lo bring in
400 to 500 brand new housing units in the
next two or three years," said planning board
member Peter Pran. He said currently, there
are roughly 2.900 housing units in town and
to "bring in such a high number of new units
would have a devastating impact on the com-
munity," as the total housing stock could
potentially be increased by nearly 20 percent
in one fell swoop.
Pran said it is the lead role of his board as
planners to make sure growth is handled
responsibly, and he and Ihe majority of the
board believe the addition of units from all
three projects will be devastating for the
Cohasset school system in such a short peri-
od of time.
Cedarmere. with its 105 units of affordable
and market rate town homes and condomini-
ums could potentially open up homes for
seniors currently living in town who are
looking to downsize. However, there is noth-
ing to preclude seniors from out of town
from purchasing the units before Cohasset
residents have a chance, which means there
is no way to tell exactly what the impact will
be until people start selling.
On the other hand, the Cook Estate project
will likely offer a pre-sale period for
Cohasset residents only, which could encour-
age residents to move out of their family
homes, which would open up single family
homes in town. However, the Cook Estate
could be downsizing from 95 units to 65
units, which would in effect decrease the
number of potential residents selling their
family homes to move to the complex.
In addition to the children moving to sin-
gle-family homes from Cedarmere and Ihe
Cook Estate, Avalon could not only have the
same effect of empty nesters leaving their
family homes, it could bring children with it
Avalon will have 200 one- and two-bed-
room rental units, which because it is not
age-restricted, would allow children to live
there. However. Vice President of
Development for AvalonBay Communities
Scott Dale said the development could just as
easily prov ide homes for seniors, which is
what the lown says it wants.
"What we build seems to be an attractive
package." for those in the 55-plus crowd, he
said adding in other mixed-income commu-
nities ihe company has built roughly 20 to
25 percent of the units, on average, are occu-
pied by 55-plus residents.
Dale said based on information compiled
from previous communities built by the com-
pany, he would estimate Cohasset could see
between 30 and 40 children spread through-
out the 2(X) units, based on the number of
bedrooms and the affordability structure,
although that figure could be more or less in
the end.
However, if Dale's calculations are right
with charges of roughly $8,000 per student
the town could see costs associated with only
those children up to as much as $320,000.
not counting the natural growth in enrollment
that happens as families come into lown to
fill up the vacant homes, or have more chil-
dren. In addition, with a school system like
Cohasset's. there are some who believe the
apartments could be an enormous draw to the
town, and Avalon could receive many more
children than it bargained for. But if the pro-
ject is attractive for seniors, they may move
into the development, taking the place the
children would have occupied.
Although it has been said that revenue from
water and potential sewer connections could
help offset project costs. Buckley explained
all fees collected by the Water and Sewer
Departments are put into an enterprise fund
which will only affect those departments. He
explained enterprise funds serve as an
accounting method which ensures funds
charged lor a specific purpose are used for

Increases in Water or Sewer Department
revenues could potentially decrease water or

Town Meeting ultimately has the say over
how to spend enterprise fund money.

Town still shy of meeting state affordable housing benchmark
By Samantha Brown
SAMBROWN«CNC.COM
"Affordable housing" may be
two of the most bandied about
words in local lexicon.
Everyone seems to be for it.
'Yet affordable housing projects
built under Chapter 40B - that
often involve higher density
than towns normally permit —
are controversial whether in
Cohasset, Hingham. Scituate or
Marshfield.
In fact no area town, with the
exception of Hull, which has
added 83 units in four years, is
on the state list of communities
showing significant progress in
tmilding affordable housing.
Cohasset. whose average-val-
ued home is roughly $670,000,
has only 76 units of "affordable
housing" by slate standards and
therefore, is well below the
threshold of 10 percent of the
town's housing meeting the
state's definition of low- and
moderate- income housing.
This is significant because
Cohasset remains vulnerable lo
40B projects. Chapter 40B, also
known as the comprehensive
permit law. is a 36-year-old state
statute that enables local loning
boards of appeals to approve
affordable housing develop-
ments under flexible rules if at
least 20-25 percent of the units
have long-term affordability
restrictions.
If the ZBA denies a 40B pro-
ject and the town is under the II)
percent threshold, the developer
can appeal lo the stale Housing
Appeals Committee.
To measure the progress of
cities and towns, the state uses
ihe 2000 federal census to deter-
mine a municipality's total year-
round housing slock, which in
Cohassel's case is 2.752 units.
Although communiiies are
adding new market-rale housing
all the time, the "grand total" of
a community's housing invento-
ry lo measure progress toward
ihe 10 percent threshold stays
the same until ihe 2010 census
while the municipality can add
to its affordable count before
then, according to the stale
Department of Housing and
Community Development.
As it stands now. Cohasset has
64 units of affordable housing
for senior citizens in the
Harborview Apartments, located
on Elm Street behind the police
and fire stations. There are an
additional 1 2 units of affordable
special needs housing next to
Harborview, which are not des-
ignated for seniors. Both com-
plexes are run by the Cohasset
Housing Authority, and together,
they comprise the only subsi-
dized housing in Cohasset. The
complex was built with state
funds back in 1974.
There are currently three pro-
jects in the pipeline which
would help the town boost its
affordable housing inventory:
Avalon, Cedarmere, and the
Cook Estate, all of which have
faced some stiff opposition in
the community mainly because
in aggregate they would add
some 400 housing units to town,
Some worry about the potential
impact on ihe schools, public
safely and town infrastructure
from thai much new develop-
ment.
With its 200 units, Avalon.
which is a 40B project, could
provide enough affordable hous-
ing for the town to reach its 10
percent goal. Although only 50
unils are actually affordable —
because all 200 are rental unils
and the slate encourages rental
housing - all units are counted
toward the 10 percent.
The zoning board of appeals
granted ihe project a compre-
hensive permit almost a year
and a half ago, which included
plans for an on-site wastewater
treatment system, bui Ihe water
commission sought lo annul Ihe
comprehensive permit because
it believes the project's septic
system could pollute Lily Pond,
the town's drinking water sup-
ply. The water commission
appeal is still lied up in court and
until it is resolved, the town
remains vulnerable to more 40B
projects.
Avalon has also filed for a
modification of its comprehen-
sive permit lhal would allow it
to hook up to the town's sewer
treatment plant. Avalon asked
the ZBA lo determine whether
there is adequate capacity and
presented testimony during a
public hearing in January from
its own engineers, who say there
is. The ZBA denied the request,
deferring lo ihe sewer commis-
About 40B:
Purpose: To increase the supply and improve the regional
distribution of low and moderate income housing by allowing a
limited suspension of existing local regulations.
Role of ZBA: Holds a public hearing to address local con-
cerns. Can issue a single comprehensive permit lhal substitutes
all local permits and approvals normally issued by local hoards.
It can also issue a comprehensive permit with conditions or
deny the permit.
Affordable units: Reserved for seniors or families u ho make
less than 80 percent of the median household income for ihe
area. Most earn less than $50,000 a year.
Progress: 33 communities have exceeded the 10 percenl
goal, up from 23 in 1997. 18 communiiies are ,n 8ot l» percent.
Area inventory:
Cohasset: 2.8 percent
Hingham: 3.3 percenl
Hull: 3.4 percent
Scituate: 4.4 percenl
Marshfield: 4 5 percenl
DHCD. April I, 2005
sion which said any capacity
thai does exisi should be given
to existing residences. Avalon
has appealed thai decision to the
Housing Appeals Committee.
Ihe arbiter on 40B project dis-
putes.
Avalon says ii is amenable to
any one of three options: an on-
site system, municipal hookup
lo Cohassei or municipal con-
nection to Hull.
Scon Dale, vice president of
development for Avalon. says
despile the setbacks. Avalon will
move ahead.
"We're not going anywhere. "
he said. "We've been involved
with similar situations in ihe past
and it can lake a long lime before
construction can start."
"We are in this tor the long haul
- whether that's two years, live
years, or a decade."
Two projects will be considered
under the town's Senior Multi-
family Overlay District bylaw,
passed in the fall of 2002. a por-
tion of which would add lo ihe
town's affordable housing stock
thmugh the slate Local Initiative
Program, dubbed LIP. UPs or
"friendly 4(IBs" — which must
serve those with incomes equal to
or less lhan 80 percenl of the area
median income — are attractive
lo communities because ihev can
have more control over ihe devel-
opmenls.
"LIPs give towns the ability lo
'row their own boat.' rather than
have a project dictated lo iheni."
says Philip Hailer of [he DHCD.
The 105-unn Cedarmere pro-
ject. Slated tor 4 1 -acres off
BeechwiMxl Street, is already
fully permitted. The property

Bill Clause said ihe companv
intends to break ground on the
project in earl) summer.
Or the 105 units, there will be
27 for-sale. one- and iwo-hed
room affordable condominiums.
located in a building with four,
fa -sale market rale one- and
two-bedroom condominiums.
The rest of the project will be a
combination of for-sale market
rate townhouses and condomini-
ums.
Cedarmere was ihe lirsi to file
under the town's Senior Multi-
family Overlay District Bylaw,
which requires developments
have an affordable component.
The bylaw allows developers to
build higher density housing
lhan zoning regulations allow, in
exchange for affordable unils
The project is tiling its afford-
able unils to he counted by Ihe
State as a Local Initiative

which will allow the units to be

Housing and Community
Development All LIP projects

is determined ihe 27 unils meet
ihe state's criteria, then those
unils can be added to ihe town's
affordable housing inventory
There is g third project on the
horizon which could further add
to ihe town's affordable housing

native for seniors in town The
Cook Esiale project will lollow

Overlay bylaw once a waste-
Water solution lor the she is
found. Plans currently entail
building 95 unils of senior hous-
ing, which would be made upol
58 for-sale condominiums and
37 rental apartments, however
Ihe option to downsize the pro-
jecl lo 65 total unils was floated
Tuesday night. With 95 total
unils. twenty-eight of the apart-
ments would be affordable
rental apartments and nine
would be market rate rental
apartments, and ihe slate would
allow all 37 rental units lo count.
With 65 units, there could poten-
tially be 20 affordable units on
site.
There are two other apartments
which were slated lo count
toward the town's affordable
housing stock, but as of right
now. do not Tom Gruber of the
Historical Society explained the
two apartments located in the
Paul Pratt Memorial Building —
the former town library and cur-
rent Historical Society headquar-
ters — were buill in 2004 and
were designated as 55-plus hous-
ing An income limil of "medi-
an" was sel for the units, which
at that time would not qualify
them as being able lo counl
toward the town's affordable
housing slock. Gruber said he
hat spoken with Town Planner
Liz Harrington and she thinks
there may have been modifica-
tions lhal may permit the apart-
ments to qualify under certain
guidelines Gruber said it so. ihe
Historical Society will need lo
Weigh the pluses and minuses to
decide whether it would like to
make the apartments formally
count by tiling an applicalion

I just wanted la lake g minute and tell you how happy I am
with how things are going lor me since I started at Fitness
Together. Concord. In fact. I have already exceeded my
initial expectations
After a rough year. I had been finding more and more
excuses NOT to work out. I usually fell back on the "I'm
just too busy" excuse Being able to make appointments
makes it so much easier to lit into my busy schedule.
1 he experience w ouldn't be the same w ithout the staff you
have. Frank, Johnny and Tim have given me the perfect mix
ol encouragement and challenge. I was never a big fan of
gyms because I was a bit self-conscious. Having the private
room and a trainer I am comfortable with has made all the
difference.
Each month brings a new accomplishment. Here's to
keeping it going!

Bald eagles
make a comeback
Sightings reported on the South Shore
By John Galluzzo
CORRESPONDENT
The calls keep coming in. like
the one from a gentleman in
Plymouth. "I have a sighting to
report." he said. "Something
I've never seen before. I looked
up and I couldn't believe my
eyes. It was a mature bald
eagle."
Another caller to the Mass.
Audubon's South Shore
Regional Office reported a simi-
lar sighting off Cove Creek in
Marshficld. on the North River,
and a third informant pointed out
a sighting above Pembroke's
Hobomock Pond. Another call
came in of a bald eagle on the
Jones River in Kingston.
A check of Mass. Audubon's
online bird sightings list
( w\vw.massaudubon.org/Birds&
Beyond/sightings) shows that
single bald eagles have been
seen throughout eastern
Massachusetts, in Belmont.
Gloucester and the Mystic Lakes
in Arlington.
Are these occurrences out of
the ordinary? Not really. Does
that make sighting a bald eagle
any less special? Not at all.
Bald eagles in Massachusetts,
like wild turkeys, symbolize
success in wildlife conservation
efforts over the past century.
Like many species, bald eagles
were abundant in Massachusetts
prior to European settlement. As
hunters and fishermen compet-
ed for the same foods the bald
eagle had traditionally eaten
(bald eagles are classed with
several other species world
wide as "fish eagles"), the birds'
numbers declined. When Mass
Audubon and the Massachusetts
Division of Fisheries and
Wildlife teamed up to make
attempts at reintroduction of
breeding eagles in the state, they
estimated that the last such pairs
had disappeared at the begin-
ning of the twentieth century.
Nationally, bald eagle numbers
declined throughout the 1910s,
'20s and '30s. but the birds
received a reprieve from hunters'
guns with the passing of the Bald
Eagle Protection Act of 1940,
"prohibiting, except under cer-
tain specified conditions, the tak-
ing, possession and commerce of
such birds." Widespread pesti-
cide use during the next three
decades led to a rapid drop off in
successful bald eagle births and
an increase in adult and imma-
ture bird mortality. Pesticides
like DDT that washed into fresh-
water feeding areas eventually
made their way up the food chain
into the choice fish of the bald
eagle diet. Females laid eggs
with soft shells or even no shells
at all, due to an inability to pro-
duce calcium to coat the eggs,
and the brooding parents often
crushed their own young.
By 1963, only 417 known
breeding pairs of bald eagles
existed in the lower 48 United
States. Our national symbol was
quickly being wiped out.
Bald eagle sightings have been
reported on the South Shore.
Two significant moments in
the 1970s, though, signaled at
least a chance for the birds'
reemergence in America. First,
in 1972. the federal government
banned the use of DDT: then, a
year later. President Richard M
Nixon signed the Endangered
Species Act into law. On July 4.
1976. symbolically choosing the
country's bicentennial celebra-
tion date, the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service listed the bald
eagle as a national endangered
species. In 1995. the Clinton
administration upgraded the bald
eagle from endangered to threat-
ened, and as of May 2004. the
Bush administration is hinting at
the bird's removal from the list
altogether. Today, more than
7.500 known breeding pairs
inhabit the contiguous "lower
48." with more than 50.000 birds
occupying salmon-rich Alaska
and British Columbia.
Here in Massachusetts, though,
the road has been a bit tougher.
In 1982 the joint effort to reintro-
duce breeding pairs to
Massachusetts began with the
importation of twoeagle-puppei-
fed chicks from Michigan. When
those two birds successfully
entered the wild, 41 more eagle
chicks were transported from
Michigan, Nova Scotia and
Manitoba and in 1989 two pairs
of eagles successfully raised
young at the Quabbin Reservoir
in the central portion of the state.
According to the Mass Audubon
website. "By 2004. nesting
eagles had spread across the
state, with a total of eighteen ter-
ritorial pairs." Regionally, bald
eagles have set up their nests in
the Lakeville/Middleboro area.
During the course of the w inter
the bald eagle population in
Massachusetts climbs with the
migration of birds from the north
seeking open freshwater ponds
in which to feed. "During the
2004 Midwinter Bald Eagle
Survey," according to Mass
Audubon, "a total of 61 birds
were recorded, 39 of these at
Quabbin Reservoir." When it
gets cold enough to freeze the
ponds and lakes of our region, as
it has been for most of the 2005
calendar year to date, the eagles
will leave those areas and head
for rivers: hence the North River
sighting in late January, and
sightings along the Jones River
on the South Shore.
Notorious as carrion con-
sumers and scavengers — even
chasing osprey and forcing them
to drop their own catches —
eagles were definitely not the
favorite bird of statesman
Benjamin Franklin. "I wish that
the bald eagle had not been cho-
sen as the representative of our
country." he wrote, "he is a bird
of bad moral character, he does
not get his living
honestly.... Besides he is a rank
coward; the little kingbird, not
bigger than a sparrow attacks
him boldly and drives him out of
the district. He is therefore by no
means a proper emblem for the
brave and honest.,.. For a truth,
the turkey is in comparison a
much more respectable bird, and
withal a true original native of
America."
Edward Howe Forbush. author
of "Birds of Massachusetts and
Other New England States," dis-
agreed. Speaking of his first bald
eagle sighting as a youth, he
gushed. "My emotions on that
occasion were somewhat similar
to those experienced when I first
viewed in the near distance the
great dome of the capitol at
Washington, for around both bird
and building cluster many mem-
ories and traditions of a great
country and a mighty people.
Our eagle may deserve some of
the epithets that have been
heaped upon him; he may be a
robber, a skulker and a carrion
feeder; nevertheless he is a pow-
erful and noble bird and a master
of the air."
So is seeing a bald eagle rare
on the South Shore of
Massachusetts? Not as rare as
it was a century ago. but the
vision is still certainly a treat
to behold.

The sweet scents of springtime
April 29, 2005
Page 1 1
GREEN
THUMBS UP
Suzanne Mahler
As I stroll through the land-
scape on a bright Sunday after-
noon in late April, the sweet
scents of springtime permeate
the fresh spring air. Sparkling
drops of moisture cling to
branches, shimmering like
strands of tiny jewels from our
welcome April showers earlier in
the day. In only a matter of day s,
it seems as if every tree and
shrub has suddenly exploded
into bloom. A profusion of love-
ly pink blossoms smothers the
branches of cherries and plums
creating a fairyland of delicate,
fleeting beauty. The showy,
satiny flowers of star and saucer
magnolias are sensational this
season although frosty evening
temperatures in colder pockets
nipped many of their delicate
petals. Cheerful mounds of
sunny yellow forsythia glow in
the afternoon sun. Gardens are
dotted with colorful clumps of
early tulips, daffodils and grape
hyacinths. Spring has surely
sprung!
The heavenly perfume of
hyacinths drifts across the garden
carried by a warm gentle breeze;
dense clusters of satiny, tubular
bells on stocky, fleshy stems
brighten the landscape in shades
of royal purple, glistening white,
and luscious shades of pink.
Androniedas (Pieris japonica)
provide the shrub border with an
attractive combination of sweetly
scented, dense clusters of milky-
white cascading bells and attrac-
tive whorls of dark evergreen
leaves. The distinctive scents of
bronze fennel, lavender and cat-
nip join these aromatic delights
as I clip and rake my tiny herb
garden.
As you make your annual
springtime pilgrimage to the
local nurseries this season, con-
sider purchasing plants that offer
pleasure for all the senses.
Although visual enjoyment usu-
ally dominates our designs, few
can deny the irresistible urge to
stroke the soft, fuzzy leaves of
lamb's ears (Stachys) or pat the
silky foliage of Artemisia 'Silver
Mound'. Ornamental grasses
provide sound, in addition to tex-
ture and motion and are valuable
additions to the fall and winter
landscape. Fragrant plants, in
particular, offer a lasting impres-
sion that often lingers from sea-
son lo season. "Scents more than
sounds or sights make the heart-
strings crack." wrote Rudyard
Kipling, and a landscape that
includes strategically placed aro-
matic plants will be all the more
pleasurable.
There are several ways to
approach fragrance in the gar-
den. Entire gardens devoted to
fragrant flowers or foliages, such
as rose gardens, or herb gardens,
which may be both functional
and aromatic, offer pockets of
continuous intermingling scents.
In my own garden, I prefer to

Fragrance, like color, tends to
be extremely personal; each gar-
dener is likely to have specific
preferences, often due to associa-
tions with childhood memories.
The wonderful scent of pine
woods from my youth spent in
the Catskills is revisited each
time I spread shredded pine bark
mulch. The sweel perfume of
lilacs and roses reminds me of
my mother's magnificent gar-
dens when I was younger. We
tend to describe and associate
many flower smells with more
familiar aromas, particularly
those found in the kitchen. The
wonderfully fragrant purple
blooms of Heliotrope smell "like
vanilla frosting or a fresh-baked
cake". Numerous aromatic
plants are described as 'lemon-
scented, reminiscent of oranges,
or clove-scented'.
Many fragrances are subtle and
may require that you poke your
nose directly into the flower to
appreciate their scenl or crush
their leaves to release their won-
derful aromas; others, like
hyacinths, lilies, lilacs, or vibur-
num, pervade the garden with the
slightest bree/e. Mass plantings
of a singular fragrant plant will
produce a significant aroma such
as a lilac or privet hedge.
Plantings of individual aromatic
plants may yield just the hint of
their perfume, perhaps prompt-
ing further investigation to deter-
mine the source of the sweel
smell. It should be noted that the

Opinion
EDITORIAL
Are we pro
or con?
For the record, here at the Mariner we are neither pro- nor
anti -development.
We'll admit to living in a house that is part of a subdivision
that used to be a farm.
We're sure folks back in the early 70s when our house was
built, bemoaned losing the open space and Woodland, We
wouldn't have blamed them.
When walking our neighborhood, we admit to being con-
cerned about an "empty lot" and the specter of a 40- B project
developer buying it. putting a road in and over-populating our
area w ith people and traffic.
In our years as reporters, we've covered innumerable "devel-
opments" across the South Shore and nary a one went through
without some opposition.
However, w ith that being said. Cohassel laces some real chal-
lenges. With three, large ntulti-unit projects on the horizon -
without careful planning, the impact could affect the quality of
life Cohasseters treasure.
We don't have the answers but will continue to follow the
issues and report on them the best we can.
At the Mariner we have absolutely nothing to gain if any. all.
or none of the projects come to fruition. But there is a lot at
stake for Cohassel. we are aware of that.
We also wholeheartedly agree "a field is always better as a
field." But. unfortunately, residents can't pull up the drawbridge
alter they move into a community and prevent further develop-
ment.
Efforts to prevent change through the potential influx of new-
comers is nothing new in Cohasset. According to historian E.
Victor Bigelow. the Indian inhabitants of Quonahassit did not
give C'apt. John Smith - credited with being the discoverer of
Cohasset — and the eight or nine English sailors with him a
warm reception in the summer of 1614.
"Great excitement was aroused by these intruders, as though
by instinct the savage heart felt the far-reaching consequences
of that v isit." Bigelow wrote in the "Narrative History of
Cohasset" Vol. L Capt. Smith and his men enraged several of
the Indians who let their arrows fly at them.
As time marched on. the English took over the New World -
and the rest is history.
If there is one important lesson here, it is not change but how
a community plans for and handles change that is critically
important. Arrows may not be the best way to keep developers
at bay.
On a related matter, we have another catch phrase to share
that we learned in neighboring Hingham.
In addition to "smart growth." and "strategic planning" - you
can now add "echo effect." The "echo effect" means empty
nesters could sell on an accelerated basis if they have attractive
options in town. However, some would argue those seniors
would sell eventually anyway. So the only question is do you
want to keep the seniors in town or have them move elsewhere?
Schoolchildren are going to be a byproduct of subdivisions
with single-family homes or multi-unit developments.
Congratulations,
Mrs. Smullen
With all the contention around town relating to sewer capacity
and multi-unit housing projects, it's nice to take a step back and
get some perspective.
The Girl Scouts are going strong and to our knowledge are
not embroiled in controversy.
We participated in the Girl Scouts through high school and
those memories are still some of our fondest.
We went to New York City and camped on Nantucket, and
marched in every Memorial Day Parade.
We were blessed to have creative, energetic Girl Scout leaders
over the years who inspired us. The friendships formed in
scouting can last a lifetime.
So it's nice to know the Patriots Trail Council has recognized
a true Cohasset treasure, long-time Girl Scout Louise Smullen,
who at 86 years young, has spent 45 years involved in
Scouting.
We take our hats off to Mrs. Smullen - one of those "unsung"
heroes whose has played a positive role in so many girls' lives.

To the Editor:
Heartfelt thanks 10 the Rotary Club which
organized the Fran Coffey Memorial Walk.
Father Waldron's People in Need and the
Bishop Roucco House for Girls are most
grateful for the donations made in Fran's
name.
We appreciate all who volunteered and par-
ticipated to honor Fran in such a wonderful

to the editor:
I suppose it is to be expected, but there are
rumors that one or more of the Cook project
supporters are on Northland's payroll. The
credulous pass the allegation on. but it is
untrue.
Northland was the winning bidder to devel-
op and execute Cohasset's plan for the Cook
estate, so it is true enough that there is a com-
monality of interest in seeing the project suc-
ceed. '
Even though more detailed examination of
the site revealed an absorption deficiency that
initial tests had not shown, there remains the
original reasons for Cohasset to gain control
of the site to help satisfy its need for afford-
able senior housing, and there remains
Northlands original reason to bid on partici-
pation. Hence it should not be surprising that
people are working for a common goal: save
the project. That's the reasonable motivation
for all parties, not the nasty one suggested by
the rumors.

Safety and the Greenbush Project. . .
April 29. 2005
_Page>_3
Tom Gruber & Mark Brennan
We' like lo say a word about safely. Safety is very
serious stuff. Very shortly, the MBTA Greenbush
project Will begin work in Cohasset. When this
starts, we will all need to be mindful that things are
no longer as they were.
The MBTA has purchased the old right of way. It
is theirs, and is no longer Cohasset's. Shortly, it will
be the site of very hazardous construction. The
entire right of way will be off limits to everyone. As
a reminder of this, the MBTA will be erecting barri-
ers to the right of way at each cross road along with
"No Trespassing" signs.
Some of us have, for years, used the old rail bed
as a beautiful walkway. Unfortunately, we will no
longer be able to do this. Throughout Cohasset,
informal pathways have criss-crossed the rail bed as
shortcuts to various places. These paths are "off lim-
its" as well. It would be a good idea to review these
new rules with your children for safety's sake.
You might ask. why mention this when there
doesn't seem to be anything happening now. Well,
These machines will make a
midget and are very dangerous.
They have the capability to take
down whole trees and spit out a
that's about to change, big time. First, the MBTA
will begin marking trees and setting surveying
stakes. These are crucial markers for the benefit of
the abutters, so they know which trees will be
removed, and which will stay. They are also for the
benefit of the project so they can remove the proper
trees and undergrowth and determine the layout
accurately. It is important that these markers not be
tampered with. After marking, giant machines will
clear the trees and underbrush. These machines will
make a lyrannosaurus look like a midget and are
very dangerous. They have the capability to take
down whole trees and spit out a pile of chips.
Clearly not the thing children should be hanging
around.
After clearing, culverts and drainage will be con-
structed. The area where someone is able to walk
today, might be a hole for a culvert pipe tomorrow,
another hazardous change. Then, the right of way
will be filled and graded in preparation for rail bed
placement. Most of the basic right of way prepara-
tion work will be done in 2005. Also, 2005 will see
the beginning construction of the station and the
new bridge for Rocky Lane.
So what's the upshot of all of this? For your own
safety, please stay off of the MBTA's property out of
harms way. And, please review these safety issues
with your children
As a reminder, updated information directly from
the MBTA can be obtained from WJDA, 1 300 AM.
at 1 1 a.m. to noon on the "Party Line" program on
the fourth Tuesday of each month. In addition, on
Saturdays in the "Local" section of the Patriot
Ledger the MBTA has a general update for all five
towns of the Greenbush project.

COMMENTARY
Andrew Quigley
A candidate for School Committee during the
recent election said we need to run the schools like
a business. A speaker at Town Meeting stated that
overrides for the schools "have to stop" and that the
schools need to use "creative thinking" in order to
avoid overrides in the future.
I am all for our School Department providing
accurate and timely financial information to taxpay-
ers so that we can have all of the facts to make truly
informed decisions when it comes time for override
requests. Surprise deficits such as we had this fiscal
year not only are distressing and disruptive, but they
also reflect poorly on the credibility of the schools
at override time.
However, what the critics of our schixils fail to
acknowledge is that even if every monthly financial
report from the schools is accurate to the penny, it
will not change the bottom line. It still will cost "x"
Cohasset taxpayer dollars to educate "y" students.
Moreover, both "x" and "y" will vary from year-to-
year depending on factors such as stale and federal
education aid formulas, new slate and federal man-
dates, and unforeseeable special education costs,
just to name a few of the variables our schools must
deal with.
Cohasset's need for annual overrides is not
unique. The same financial pressures facing
Cohasset are being felt not only by communities in
Massachusetts, but throughout the country because
of decreased federal funding to the states, which
then have less money for local aid. The problem is
particularly acute in towns such as Cohasset
because of our lack of a commercial tax base, which
leaves almost all of the tax burden on homeowners.
The criticisms of the Cohasset schools are mind-
ful of my experience some years ago with two other
school districts. In 1985. the mayor and city council
of Revere demanded that the Revere School
Department hire an outside auditor because of
chronic, unbudgeted expenses which would crop up
in the middle of the fiscal year, year-after-year. So
the city hired the big accounting firm of Peat,
Marwick, and Mitchell to audit the School Dept.
Peat made a number of recommendations to
improve financial reporting and accounting by the
schools which made the mayor and council feel vin-
dicated with their criticisms of the schools.
...there must be an
acknowledgment that our
schools are not widget factories.
Manufacturing a widget is not
the same as educating a child.
But then Peat produced a recommended budget
which made the mayorand city council see red. Peat
said the Revere schools needed $15.8 million in
order to provide an adequate level of education to
the children of Revere, a figure which was even
more than the School Committee would have
requested. Peat told the mayor (who said the city
could afford only $13.8 million for the schools) that
the choice was simple: raise taxes to make up the $2
million difference or lay off 70 teachers.
The
liluation happened in the
1990s i
the Town of Winlhrop. Once again, outside auditors
pointed out a number of deficiencies with the
School Department's accounting practices, but they
also determined that there was no wasie of tax dol-
lars and that the Winthrop schools were being
underfunded.
I guarantee to any of those who advocate bringing
their business experience to the Cohasset schooK
that if the town were to hire an outside consulting
firm such as McKinsey Co. to examine our school
budget, while they certainly might have suggestions
for improving the budgeting process, thev loo
would conclude that the Cohasset schools are
underfunded and that there is no magic bullet of
"creative thinking" which is going io stop overrides
from being needed in the future. As one thoughtful
resident stated on the floor of Town Meeting, Prop.
2-1/2 never has been and never will be a workable
guideline for determining the rate of increase in our
taxes, particularly in the realm of public education.
Finally, there must be an acknow ledgment that our
schools are not widget factories. Manufacturing a
widget is not the same as educating a child. Most of
corporate America is able to turn a profit lhese days
only because it makes its widgets in Third World
countries by employees who are paid a fraction of
what Americans used to be paid. But I am not aware
of any suggestion that we outsource our children's
education to the Third World.
The override question on the May 21 ballot has
nothing to do with the non-issue of School
Department financial practices. But it does have
everything to do with whether we as a community
want to continue to provide our children with a
quality education which will enable them to meei
the educational standards of the 2 1 st century.

HEALTH NOTES
'Protect our children and our future'
By Steve Bobo
SPECIAL TO THE MARINER
Earth day for Cohasset is tomorrow the 30th. a
week late. Earth day is the day in spring when peo-
ple are called to do something for the environment.
According to the Earth day web page,
http://www.earthday.net :
. Earth Day. which began in 1970. is now celebrat-
ed by millions of people worldwide. This year is its
35th anniversary, and around the world, hundreds of
thousands of non governmental organizations, gov-
ernments, teachers, and taith-based groups, among
others, are making plans to declare that they are part
of a worldwide movement to protect our planet, our
children, and our future.
This year. Earth Day Network's theme is "Protect
Our Children and Our Future." Despite the extraor-
dinary and often false obstacles that we face in our
efforts to protect our natural resources and our bio-
diversity, few will dare argue with the moral imper-
ative to protect our children from harm. As a conse-
quence of that imperative, the movement calls on
governments, corporations, faith-based organiza-
tions, and all people in our troubled world to work
with us to ensure that children everywhere are
healthy, educated, and free from oppression.
. This Earth Day. hundreds of major events will
take place around the world, in communities large
and small, in classrooms, in parks and on beaches,
in places of worship. From Kiev to Beijing, from
India to Romania from Africa to the Americas, we
will demonstrate our diversity and our resilience.
We look forward to your participation and working
with you to make this Earth Day the beginning of a
global effort to protect our children's future.
Organizations in Cohasset which are sponsoring
Earth day goals are the Water Resource Protection
Committee's Green Space effort as well as the
Cohasset Center for Student Coastal Research, sev-
eral Cohasset garden clubs including the
Community Garden Club and Cohasset Garden
Club, and the Board of Health.
We have to realize that the
complex mechanisms in our
ecology are affected by many
in our patterns
our
But the real secret to protecting our children and
our future is knowledge. Not only that learned in
school by our kids, but knowledge about the way
our planet works. We have to realize that the com-
plex mechanisms in our ecology are affected by
many subtle changes in our patterns of living and
using our resources. And the results change the
environment, not necessarily for the worse, but cer-
tainly there will be a change. Thus if we load our
lawns with more fertilizer than is normal, there will
be a change. If we eat more than our bodies need
there will be a change. If we bum more fossil fuel,
there will be a change.
It's optimistic to think that by declaring one day in
which we do for our planet those things which we
should know to do every day. we will change any-
thing. But perhaps, each of us can think about one
habit we can adopt which will help us learn more
about the world we live in. For example a recent
article about poisons in the National Geographic
gives a creative insight into the effect of miniscule
amounts of a variety of substances on the human
anatomy. The article points out that all substances in
appropriate doses are lethal. It's mainly when the
substances are used in doses too large for our bod-
ies defenses or capacity to absorb, that they become
harmful.
Certainly this concept applies to Mother Earth in
some way. If we add too much pollution to a place-
on earth the effect must be harmful. By the same
token, if someone applies a very strong poison in an
appropriate dose and by an appropriate method to
an invasive species, the result may be beneficial to
the environment as a whole.
I see people picking up cans and bottles while
they're walking. Who's to say that such an act isn't
the beginning of a movement which would over
time, help solve the solid waste problem. If it'll help
to remind you to do something to help the environ
ment the Board of Health has Earth Day T-shirts at
our office in Town Hall.

Down with
the home ran!
HENSHAW
Tom Hlnshaw
Robert Lipsyte. the onetime sports colum-
nisi who quil the New York Times to write
novels, has come up w ith a proposal that is
all but guaranteed lo end baseball's not-too-
enthusiastic struggles with Steroids.
He wants to outlaw the home run.
Under the Lipsyte rule, a ball hit over the
fence would be out and the big league
record for home runs would revert to the 61
hit by Roger Maris ol the Evil Empire back
n 1961. presumably w ithoul the aid of any
chemical Stronger than sour mash.
Right on. Boh. ami I say this as a guy
whose only career home run came on a
field off Bickford Road in East Braintree
when Holly Ul.uk coutdn'l find the ball in
the brush in l-ranny Nordahl's backyard.
That field today is called Cape Cod Lane,
but I digress . . .
The home run has been what's wrong
with baseball ever since baseball's owners
discovered lhai large numbers of people are
willing to spend even larger sums of money
to watch lhat fellow Ruth hit halls oul of the
park.
Maybe if we wound the yam a little
tighter around the core, they said, and out-
lawed those pitched balls that did tricks like
the spitter and the shine ball and kept
putting fresh, white balls into play, batters
could hit them farther.
The result was 54 homers by Babe Ruth
(talk about sour mash! | and a whole new
game thai was baseball in name only.
"The grand swat has marginalized think-
ing, finesse and planning in America's pas-
time." w rote Lipsy te in USA Today, "and as
life imitates an. the homer may just be a
kind of metaphorical weapon of mass
destruction. As such, we should gel rid of
it."
I'm not encouraged thai the Lipsyte rule
will ever be adopted by the lords of base-
ball For the past 80-odd years, their every
action has been directed toward helping
their hired hands jack another one into the
bleachers
Remember Greenberg Gardens?
When the Detroit Tigers sold Hank
Greenberg. who once hit 58 homers for
them, to the Pittsburgh Pirates, the Pirates
moved the left field fence in 30 feet and
called the new home run territory
"Greenberg Gardens."
Greenberg lasted only a year w ith the
Pirates but they still had Ralph Kiner.
another 5()-homer man. SO they left the
fence where it was and rechristened the area
"Kiner Komer."
"Home run hitters drive Cadillacs." said
Kiner. "Singles hitters drive Fords."
Before Ruth hit 29 in 1919. home runs
were rare. The Chicago White Sox as a
team hit only six w hen they won the
American League pennant in 1906. Frank
Baker's 15-year lifetime total of 93 earned
him the nickname "Home Run."
The major league record w as 27 set by
Ned Williamson of Chicago in 1884 when
the Cubs played their home games in
Lakefrom Park with its left field fence only
180 feet from home plate. He hit all but two
of the 27 at home.
"You like offense, you loved Lakefront,"
said Bill Veeck. baseball promoter extraor-
dinaire "It was so small that early homers
counted as doubles."
Not a bad idea! What do you say. Bob?

Live telethon, online auction to benefit Cohasset PSO
By Samantha Brown
SAMBR0WNCCNC.COM
The CohaSKt school sysiem
would be ut a great loss without
the contributions of the Parent
School Organization. From
guest speakers to playground
equipment, library books to
physical education supplies, the
PSO has gencrousK contributed
to man) different educational
facets that enrich students' lives.
To help keep the funds coming,
the PSO will be hosting the
Second Annual PSO Telethon.
Wednesday. May 4 from 7-9:30
p.m. The event will be aired live
on Comcast television channel
22. In addition, it will be hosting
an online auction, which will run
from Ma) I -May 6 and can be
accessed at
www.psotelethon.cmarket.com.
PSO fund-raising chair Claudia
McKeon said during the telethon,
a live talent show will be aired
featuring students from all three
Cohasset schix>ls. Between the
performances, parents will be
asked to make their pledge to the
PSO. akin to the telethons seen
on WGBH. Depending on the
amount of the pledge — $100.
$75. $50 or $25 — those who
donate will be entered into a cor-
responding raffle category. With
a $100 pledge, names will be
entered into all four raffle cate-
gories, with a $75 pledge, names
will be placed in the $75 and
under categories, and so on. The
telethon was made possible by
the generous sponsorship of local
businesses including Coldwell
Banker Real Estate Brokerage.
Pilgrim Cooperative Bank, and
Graham Waste Services, Inc.
Some of the items to be rallied
off include restaurant gift certifi-
cates, swimming lessons, sports
tickets, car detailing service, a
sterling silver bracelet, and tick-
ets to the South Shore Music
Circus. Winners for the raffle
will be drawn at the end of the
night.
Tons of talent!
A live talent show featuring
performance* from students in
many grade levels will be
broadcast during the PSO
telethon, Wednesday, May 4.
Performers include:
Playing piano:
Derek & Adam Benson &
Alexandres Deligiannidis -
grades 2 and 3
Julia Canney - grade 5
Elizabeth Hagearty & Emily
Dormitzer - grade 4

"This is a really neat event."
said McKeon, adding "I don't
know of any other schools
around which are doing fund-
raising on live TV."

Froio, Lisa Dooley. Michelle
Skolnick. Suzie Montgomery.
Lucia Flibotte. and PSO
President Sarah Porter, have been
working hard to bring back the
telethon for the second year in a
row. She said because last year
was the first attempt, although it
was a success, there were a few
kinks that needed to be worked
out spontaneously as live televi-
sion does not lend itself to second
takes. In light of their ability to
keep the show moving along and
remain graceful under fire,
Flibotte along with Rich Ofthson
will be returning as the hosts.
Calls will be answered by the
Answer Quick professional call-
ing center, and tax-deductible
phone pledges can be made using
a Visa or Master Card. Answer
Quick has been handling public
television annual phone drives as
well as many school, radio, and
nonprofit companies for over fif-
teen years. Their operators will
be answering the phone lines and
securely taking credit card
pledges.
"Last year we had a great time
and we raised $12,000."
McKeon said.
In addition to the raffle.
McKeon said for the first time
this year, some of the "larger
ticket" items which were donated
will be showcased online during
the PSO online auction. The auc-
tion will be held for the entire
week leading up to the telethon,
from May 1 until 9 p.m. on May
6. Items up for grabs during the
auction include a gift certificate
for $3,000 worth of orthodontic
work, estate planning services, a
cooking demonstration including
dinner and wine for six at
Blackfin Restaurant, and an
afternoon sailing trip around
Boston Harbor.
Every school has its own active
branch of the PSO. which all
operate under the larger umbrella
of the general PSO. McKeon
said therefore, the funds raised by
the general PSO through these
fund-raising events will be equal-
ly divided among the schools,
and each school PSO along with
the principal, teachers, and any
parents who would like to attend

a meeting of the PSO, will take a vote to
decide how the funds could best be
spent. PSO funds are spent on programs
that enhance the curriculum in place for
each school.
McKeon said the PSO is very cog-
nizant of the fact that there have been
many different fund-raisers held for var-
ious organizations over the past few
years due to budget constraints, and
therefore it made the decision this year
to only hold three fund-raisers spread
out over the year. The telethon and auc-
tion will be the last and largest of the
three fund-raising events held this year.
"Times are tough and the town has
been under fire for budgetary issues,"
she said, adding the PSO is trying to
respect that. ""So far, I think it's going
well." she said, adding the public has
given very positive feedback.
The Second Annual PSO Telethon will
be held Wednesday, May 4 from 7-9:30
p.m. and will be bnmdcasl on Comcast

Tracksters off
to winning start
By Mark Goodman
MG00DMANeCNC.COM
Both the Cohasset boys and
girls track teams started their
season right with wins over Hull
on Tuesday.
The girls won convincingly,
81-34, with the boys taking
home a solid 73-51 victory.
Senior co-captain Nicole
Whitney starred for the Lady
Skippers, winning four events on
the day - the mile. 200m. long
jump and triple jump. While
coach Al LaFountain figures
Whitney will be a state meet
qualifier in the sprints, he is con-
fident that she can excel in just
about any event.
"She's probably the most ver-
satile female athlete I've
coached." LaFountain said. "She
is willing to do whatever we ask
of her. She really understands the
concept of a team player."
Senior co-captain Lindsay
Kennedy was Cohassefs first
state qualifier of the year, run-
ning the 1 00m in 13.3 seconds to
qualify in that event. Kennedy
also finished second in the long
jump and triple jump.
Other individual winners for
the Skippers included sopho-
more Sarah Malone (400m),
sophomore Alyssa Hoffman
(800m). freshman Corinna
Durham ( 100-hurdles) and Nikki
Dugan (javelin).
The relay teams also excelled
for the Cohasset girls, with both
the 4x 1 00 and 4x400 teams win-
ning. The 4x100 team consisted
of Durham, Kennedy, freshman
Olivia Kimla and sophomore
Shelea Daly.
The 4x400 squad was senior
Jen Daley. Dugan, sophomore
Lauren Strazzula and freshman
Flossie Clougherty.
Other bright spots included
second-place finishes from
junior Aileen Fortunado (shot-
put), Kimla (1 00m) and
Clougherty (discus).
LaFountain says the girls are
aiming for a South Shore League
title, something the program has
not done in nearly 30 years.
There are 15 athletes total on the
team, and with the leadership of
Whitney and Kennedy, the
coach is expecting some good
things this season.
•Their workouts are spectacu-
lar to watch." LaFountain said.
"We have a young team, but
these are all quality kids who are
hungry, fast and strong."
Defending league champ
Carver and Mashpee figure to be
among the favorites for the
league championship.
The boys' effort was highlight-
ed by two first-place finished
apiece from sophomores
Anthony DiPaolo and Brent
Daly. DiPaolo won the javelin
and discus, while Daly took the
100m and triple jump.
LaFountain says DiPaolo is a
good athlete who can likely per-
form well in running events as
well as the season goes on.
Other wins included Paul St.
Pierre in the high hurdles. Reed
Wendorf-French in the 300-hur-
dles and Justin Alexander in the
shot put.
Like the girls, both the sprint
relay teams for the boys were
also victorious. The 4x100 team
of DiPaolo. St. Pierre. Robert
Silvia and Alexander joined the
4x400 team of Colin Conway,
Mike Devlin, DiPaolo and Silvia
as winners.
Top-three finishers for the boys
included Adam Hare/ (second
place, two-mile). Andrew Chang
(third, two-mile). Daly (second
in the half-mile and long jump).
Andrew DiVitre (second. 200m).
Conway and St. Pierre (second
and third in the discus). St. Pierre
also finished third in the shot put.
LaFountain admits the boys
are in somewhat of a building
mode, but they are going in the
right direction with 15 athletes
on the team (compared to single-
digit turnouts the last two years).
Of the 15 kids, 1 1 are freshmen
or sophomores.
The coach hopes that as many
of those athletes as possible can
qualify for the slate meet.
Coming up on the track sched-
ule is tomorrow's state relay race
and a home meet Monday
against Harwich.

Just about everyone figured
Tuesday \ Norwell-Cohasset
girls tennis match would finish 3-
2 one w ay or the other, and that is
exactly w hat happened.
Unfortunately for the Clippers,
they were the two in the equa-
tion, and they came away with
their first South Shore League
loss of the year.
The match was decided at third
singles (the last match to finish,
taking well over two hours).

Meehan took the win over
Norwell's Marissa Dallerro. 6-3.

Cohasset senior co-captain
Elizabeth Stone said she and her
teammates knew they were in for
a lough match coming in. and
were more than pleased to get the
win.
"Our team was very excited."
she said. "The people who need-
ed to step up did exactly that. It
was great for Sally to close out
i he match for us; she played real-
ly well."
Stone, at first singles, and the
first doubles duo of Meg
Anderson and Emilie Shea
earned the other two points for
Cohasset.
Taylor Cleaves earned a point
for Norwell al second singles
with a dominating 6-3. 6-0 win.
The second doubles team ot
Mackenzie Shute and Alexandra
Dallerro also got a hard-earned
point at second doubles with a
three-set (3-6. 6-0. 6-2 1 win over
Cohasset's Rachel Ciarber and

The Anderson/Shea combo
came back from a 6-2 loss in the

A walk in the park for softball team
By Mark Goodman
MGOOOMAN0CNC COM
Thirteen hits and 13 walks is
generally a favorable equation.
It worked out well lor the
Cohasset softball team on
Tuesday, as their offensive attack
carried them to a 23-12 w in over
Norwell.
The offensive stars were numer-
ous fix the Skippers. Senior 00-
captam Casey Anderson went 3-
for-4 with a double and foui RBI.
Sophomore Christina Pinkus was
2-for-3 with a triple and two RBI
Senior co-captain Cecelia
Chapman had a double and
knocked in two runs, while fresh-
man Anna Haggerty had three hits
on the day.
Pinkus turned in anothei
impressive pitching performance
In relief of classmate Virginia
Spofford. Pinkus pitched four
innings, giving up two hits and
striking out 1 1 . Head coach Deb
Bostwick said afterward there are
several reasons why her star pitch-
er is so effective.
"She's really smooth. She's 5-
lix>i-7 or 5-8. has an incredible
first step, and has long and lanky
arms," Bostwick said.
Although Spofford is in a bit of
a slump at the moment, the coach
expects big things from both
halves ol her pitching duo.
"They really compliment each
Other and help each other ota,"
Bostw ick said.
About the only downer for the
Skippers on the day was an injury
to shortstop Katie James, who has
been having herself a nice season
both at the plate and al shortstop.
It was another frustrating loss
lor the Clippers, who remain win-
less on the season Then top hitter
was sophomore center fielder
Kristin Capaldo. who was 2-for-4
(including a triple I and an RBI
Norwell did not help themselves
with their errors, something thai
continues to frustrate head couch

Norwell captain. "Meg was so
good at net. and her serves wen
awesome."
Stone said her doubles team-
mates compliment each other
well on the court.
"They are a great team: they're
just so confident together." she
said. "I think they work well
together because they have such
different games."
The Cohasset senic was part
of a match that many tennis fans
were anticipating; a showdown
with Norwell freshman Susan
Bitetti. The first set went 6-0 in
favor of Stone, but Bitetti kept
her composure and took a 5-4
lead in the second set.
At that point. Stone says she
was encouraged by head coach
Gigi Meehan to "embrace the
challenge." and she finished off
the match with three straight
games for a 6-0. 7-5 win.
Stone came away very
impressed with her opponent.
That is a hard position to be in
[with everyone anticipating the
match], and I thought she did
really well." Stone said. "Susan
is very mature for a freshman on
the court; she has a lot of poise.
It was fun to play her."
The Norwell/Cohusset
rematch is set for May 12 at
Milliken Field in Cohasset.
Arena says the Clippers will take
what they can from Tuesday's
contest to prepare themselves for
the rematch.

Norwell still on top in boys tennis
By Mark Goodman

There had been some rumblings
around the local high school boys
tennis circuit that this could be the
year Cohasset knocks Norwell off
of its South Shore League perch.
While there will be a rematch on
May 1 2. Round One on Tuesday
went the same way as all the oth-
ers in the past decade: advantage
Norwell.
The Clippers took on a some-
what undermanned Skippers team
(missing two regulars) at Milliken
Field in Cohasset and came away
with a convincing 5-0 win.
Freshman Rob Ankner turned in
a dominant performance at sec-
ond singles, defeating Cohasset
sophomore Blain Morin (who
regularly plays third singles) 6- 1.
6-1.
The Clippers also got impres-
sive performances from both their
doubles teams. In the first spot.
Brett Cleaves and Gabe Weeks
defeated the Cohasset duo of
Brendan Michaud and Zack
Murray. 6-0. 6-4 The set scores
were reversed in second doubles,
where Norwell's Andy Bogaty
and Shamus Keohane were victo-
rious over Chris Don/e and Kyle
Dattola.
Norwell coach Jay Swart/ was
clearly impressed with both dou-
bles BarmaAerwanl
"Brett's forehands were big in
this match, and Gabe made some
really important volleys," he said.
"The second doubles team just
took control of the net in the sec-
ond set. They played more aggres-
sively, and that made the differ-
ence."
One match that had both Swart/
and Cohasset coach Kent Parrot
raving was the third singles con-
test between Norwell junior Scott
Kitchen and Cohasset freshman
Ryan Crough. Kitchen won 7-5,
6-3, but Parrot was clearly pleased
with how well Crough played
agaiast one of the area's best third
singles players.
"Ryan has played mostly dou-
bles this year, and he did a great
job today," Parrot said. "He hung
in there and was very, very com-
petitive agaiast a very good play-
er."
The longest match of the day
was at first singles between
Norwell's Ryan Sweeney and
Cohasset's Nils Sceery. After
Sweeney won the first set 6-4. the
second set went into a prolonged
tiebreaker.
With both athletes amusing the
crowd with their vocal self-moti-
vation - and entertaining them
with some great play - Sweeney
made a couple big plays at net to
come back from a 7-6 tiebreaker
deficit to win it, 9-7.

April 24. and came away with
four impressive victories and one
loss in a long day under shifting
weather conditions.
Instead of playing in its stan-
dard Blue and White teams, the
girls played combined teams,
which had some of the 13-and-
Under players running through
three full games in the span of six
hours.
The most impressive perfor-
mances of the day were from the
15-and-Under girls (grades 7
and 8). who not only remained
unbeaten, but who continued a
siring of total domination. The
teams from Falmouth and
Marshfield facing Cohasset's
oldest girls learned why the
locals have now outscored their
opponents by a combined total of
86-16 ihis year.
Gabriella Flibotte scored
twice in the two minutes against
Falmouth, her second goal con-
verting a feed from Lesen
Haracz. Falmouth answered
with a score before Kaley
Madge and Chelsea Silvia
scored two more to bring the lead
to 4-1; Cohassei dominated the
rest of the half, bul missed on its
scoring opportunities so that it
only had a three-goal lead al the
break.
The second half was all
Cohassei. with Flibotte scoring
iwo more and feeding Madge for
her second of the game. Amy
Mcikleham, Lindsey Allard
and Silvia had solo markers and
Olivia Sullivan converted a
direct-free position, as Cohassei
scored seven unanswered goals
before Falmouth snuck in a score
in the final minute lo make the
final 11-2.
Thomson Jaffe made Ihree
saves in Ihe Cohassei net, and ihe
defense of Natalie Hunt, Liz
Tetrault, Mimi Mahoney,
Lindsey Hill, Lauren Blaze
and Kate O'Callaghan never
allowed Falmouth to get momen-
tum going.
Following the Falmouth game,
ihe Cohasset girls turned right
around to play Marshfield, and
simply continued the barrage lhat
had started in the second half of
the first game. Flibotte scored
lour first-half goals. Madeline
Leahy scored twice. Allard
notched a goal and an assisi, and
Meikleham. Isabelle Franklin
and Paige Smith had solo mark-
ers as Cohasset raced to a 10-2
halftime lead.
The locals slowed things down
lo play more ball-control in the
second half. Hill. Hannah
Burgess and Grace Clougherty
all scored their first goals of the
season, and Silvia added a solo
goal (o go with an assist she
picked up on the very first shift
of the game, as Cohasset closed
out a 14-5 win.
Thomson Jaffe stopped five
Marshfield shots in the win.
Al ihe 13-and-Under level
(grades 5 and 6). Cohasset split
two games against Falmouth
teams, and dominated
Marshfield, •
Against Falmouth I, Cohasset
controlled the action early, bul
spent much of Ihe first half being
frustrated by the visiting goalie.
Ultimately, the teams got in a
two-to-one rhythm, with /
Michalowski and Lindsay
MacNaught scores being
answered by a Falmouth goal,
before Hope Kissick and
Merrick Sease scored, only to
be answered by Falmouth as the
game went to the half al 4-2.
MacNaught took over the early
portion of the second half, scor-
ing a natural hat trick on ihree
consecutive drives from behind
the goal. From there. Falmouth
scored twice, before Scarlett
MacQuade fed Kissick lo give
Cohassei a two-goal cushion
heading inio the last iwo minutes
of the game.
Falmouth snuck in a laie score,
but couldn't get any closer, as the
game finished 8-7.
Whitney Jaffe and
Michalowski combined to make
five saves in the contest.
It was a different story when
the team played its second game
of ihe day against Falmouth 2.
The visitors jumped out to a 4-
0 lead, and while Kissick scored
three times to bring the home
team back, the rest of the game
belonged to Falmouth, which
stretched a 5-3 halftime lead to a
9-4 final. Danielle Healy scored
Cohasset's second half goal on a
direct-free position. and
Michalowski - who saw more
rubber than a referee al a dodge
ball loumameni - slopped nine
shots in keep the game
respectable.
Luckily, the squad had the
chance to bounce back al day's
end against Marshfield and. after
a slow start caused by poor
shooting, that's precisely what
happened.
Madeline Manning and Kaei
Kucinski sandwiched two
scores by Kissick. and Cohassei
gol to the half with a 4- 1 lead.
Cohasset solved its shooting
issues in the second half, and
blew things open lo complete a
12-2 win. Kucinski scored two
more goals. MacNaught scored
twice, and Olivia Murphv.
Whitney Jaffe. Alison Whelan
and Healy had solo scores en
route lo trie win.
Michalowski and Bridget
Cahill split the goaltending. and
the defense of Eliza Kinnealey.
Dyianne Axelson and Taylor
Kennedy turned Marshfield
mistakes into Cohasset scoring
opportunities throughout the
contest.
On Sunday. April 17. the
Cohasset 15-and-Under girls
played Billerica al Nickerson
Field on the campus of Boston
University, prior to "senior day"
for the highly ranked Terriers
women's team.
Lindsey Allard opened the
scoring herself, then fed Franklin
as Cohasset jumped out to a 2-0
lead. Franklin fed Gabriella
Flibotte to answer a Billerica
score on a direct-free position,
and Burgess fed Kaley Madge to
increase the lead to 4-1. Leahy
answered another Billerica score
as the teams went to the half with
Cohasset ahead 5-2.
Billerica convened two direct-
free position shois after Cohassei
penalties to close to within one
early in the second half, but
Allard, Amy Meikleham and a
Flibotte-to-Maura-Barnes-io
Flibotte give-and-go salted the
game away and let the Cohasset
girls adjourn to waich the
Terriers game, eat some pizza
and enjoy the day.

field on May I in Hingham.

undefeated Norwell yesterday.
Tomorrow, they will host
Plymoulh North-South (6 p.m.
stan).
Games next week at Notre
Dame (Monday) and al home
against Marshfield (Tuesday)
give Cohasset (2-3- 1 heading into
yesterday's Norwell game) a
good chance to be in contention
for a postseason berth after that
i streich of games is over.
"If we play well, we have a
: chance to get back to .500,"
: Sweeney said. "Our goal is still to
make the tournament."
On the boys side of things, head
coach Stu Curran knew his team
was facing a challenge when they
hosted Holliston last Saturday
morning. The Skippers got off to
a great start right on the opening
lace-off. however, as freshman
Mike Grimm continued his excel-
lent play of late with a goal 1 5
seconds into the game.
The Skippers did not look back
from there. Despile facing a
stingy defense that consistently
doubled their two leading scorers.
Jake Previte and Aidan Buick.
Cohassei played some great
defense of their ow n for the win.
Goalie Chris Simms. whom
Curran says has been playing bet-
ter and bcticr each week, made 14
saves on the day That combined
with how well Cohassei lode their
Holliston opponents, were the
key faelors to Ihe victory.
"How we rode lhat Holliston
team may have made ihe differ-
ence." Curran said. "It's a lot like
rebounding in basketball: you
have to want il more than the
other learn. If you do it well, you
can win a game because of it "
Cohasset improved their record
to 4-3 overall with Monday's win
over Martha's Vineyard. The
defense of seniors Crandon
Leahy and Casey Coleman
helped lead the team to victory
over another good learn.
Coleman, in particular, drew
Curran 's praise for his efforts on
Vineyard star Ed Parsanese. a
player that the Cohasset coach
says would be good enough to
start for Duxbury. Kevin
Dinsmore also contributed well to
the defensive effort.
Leahy also scored a big goal in
the fourth quarter lo put his team
ahead. 12-11.
The rest of dial period belonged
to senior middie Joe Durkin. who
scored all four of his goals in Ihe
frame, including a couple in the
last few minutes to ice it.
Cohassei also got solid play
from the Grimm brothers. Jon
(two goals) and Mike (one goal,
two assists).
•They really have a good sense
of where the other one is going to
be on the field." Curran said.
"They have a lot of subtle looks,
and suddenly one of them has the
ball right in front of the net."
Mike Grimm is part of a group
of freshmen, including Peier
Ernst. Mark Flibotte and Chuck
Czerkawski lhat has Curran excit-
ed for now and for the future of
the program.
The boys were scheduled to
host Norwell yesterday and
Plymouth North-South tomor-
row. After traveling to Marshfield
on Tuesday, the Skippers face a
huge test al home against
Hingham on Thursday. May 5 (6
p.m. start).

a 16-13 win.
Norwell head coach Tom Jacobs said
the momentum clearly changed in
favor of his team in that 6fJl inning.
"After While slmck out the side, the
team sprinted oil the field. There was a
lot of enthusiasm.'' he said. "We were
four outs away from defeat, bul after
Laffin'S homer and Ihe pitching, we
knew we had a good shot al winning."
Cohasset head coach Al Gallotla was
left lo ponder what could have been a
statement-making win
"We jusi seemed lo have some men-
ial breakdowns thai hurt us badly." fie
said. "I feel it was a matter of us going
into the last inning against a good team
that know s how 10 win. When ihe chips
are down, learns that win like the) do
find a way lo win those games."
Laffin was 3-for-4 on ihe day -
including Ihe homer, a triple and a sin-
gle - and knocked in four runs. While
pitched 5 1/3 innings 10 gel Ihe win.
In ihe 7th, a double by Dave Lifters, a
single from Mall Greenberg and a walk
by Ai/ensiadi keyed a five-run rally.
Cohasset go) a couple runs in the bot-
tom of the frame, but While held on 10
preserve ihe victory.
Senior catcher Luis Blanco was one
of the stars of ihe day Offensively for
Cohasset. hilling a single and a double
and knocking in three runs. Tun I'ilc/ak
and Teddie Slraughn each had two hits,
as did leadoff hitler Chris ( Msthun, w ho
scored four runs.
For Norwell. Greenberg had himself
a day al Ihe plale. smacking a ihree-run
homer in Ihe first lo go wilh ihe 7th
inning RBI single and Ihree walks.
Liffers, While and Greg Thornton ail
had two hits each.
The game goi off 1.. a wild start, as
neither team's pilcher - Aizenstadl and
Cohasset 's Chris Bryan - was on top of
his game. The Clippers were up 3-0-
after three batters, as both Thornton and,
right fielder Gerry Good got on base for:
Greenberg. The senior catcher's homer!
was his first of the year.
A Laffin RBI single, plating White,
gave Norwell a '4-spol in the first
inning.
The Skippers came right back wilh
two in the bottom of the inning.
Ofsthun and Pilc/ak set the table with a
walk and single, respectively. Straughn.
starting al third base on the day.
smacked an RBI single to center to
score Ofsthun.
Ai/enstadi then hit Blanco, and the;
bases were loaded wilh nobody out.;
The Norwell hurler battled from there,
getting the next two batters out without
giving up a run. With two outs, howev-
er, the Skippers' Nick Zappolo legged
out an infield hit 10 make the game 4-2.
After Bry an held Norwell scoreless in
the top of the second, the Skippers got
five in the bottom of the inning. They
look advantage of five walks, a single
by junior Stefan Paniell and a sacrifice
fly from Jim DeGiacomo to lake a 7-4
lead.
The Clippers got a couple runs back
in the top of ihe third, capped oft" by an
RBI single from Ai/.enstadt. The back-
and-lorth action, needless to say. con-
tinued from there.
One thing lhai did not help the;
Skippers was their defense (six errors)
Thai was part of the reason Bryarr
threw IDS pilches in four innings,
something Gallotla knovys is going to
have 10 change if Ihe Skippers are
going 10 turn Ihings around.
"We give opponents far loo many
ouis." said ihe coach. "He may have
only piiched four innings, bul | Bryan)
essentially pitched a whole hallgame
because we gave them four or five out*
in an inning."
Gallotla savs his team is playing-
"marginally in all capacities" of ihe
game, and thai the pitching, hilling and
defense all have 10 improve.
The Skippers (2-5. 1-5 in the league
al press time), got their first shot at
redemption yesterday - weather permit-
ting - at home against Mashpee. The
Falcons defeated Cohasset. 6-5 .in the
team's season opener. Next week
Cohassei navels 10 Abington on May 3
and hosis Carver on May 5.

Hedlund hosts seminar on stem cell n
The stem cell research bill
invoked a significant amount of
feedback from members of the
South Shore community
because of the moral implica-
tions the issue raises. In
response to the many phone
calls, letters, and e-mails
received by his office, Sen.
Robert L. Hedlund, R-
Weymouth, has scheduled a
forum on stem cell research for
his constituents, where he will
discuss the consequences of the
legislation.
The forum will be held
Tuesday, May 3, at 7:30 p.m. in
the auditorium at Hingham
Town Hall. 210 Central St.
Stem cell research is one of
the most complex and techni-
cally challenging pieces of leg-
islation that has been debated in
Massachusetts in recent years.
The details of the science
involved, and questions of the
ethical nature of stem cell
research have been at the heart
of the contention and confusion
of this practice.
In an effort to inform and edu-
cate the community on the last
result the stem cell research leg-
islation will have, Hedlund
asked Sen. Bruce Tarr from
Gloucester to serve as a guest
speaker for the event. Tarr is
co-author of the Senate Stem
Cell Research bill 2028 and is a
leading expert on the issue in
the Massachusetts Legislature.
Tarr's knowledge and experi-
ence assisted many in the
Senate debates as he answered
a number of questions on stem
cell research, iis proposed bene-
fits, and the procedure involved.
"I welcome and encourage
community leaders, con-
stituents, friends and media to
take advantage of this seminar
and learn more about this his-
toric and critical issue facing the
commonwealth," Hedlund said.
For more information about
the forum, call Hedlund's office
at (617) 722-1646.

All proceeds from the 6th annu-
al "Boston Bakes for Breast
Cancer" will go to the Fund a
non-profit grassroots organization
that supports breast cancer
research and education at Dana-
Farber. The Eva Brownman
Breast Cancer Fund was devel-
oped by Marjic Brownman
Shapiro and her sister Carol
Brownman Sneider in 1991 as a
tribute to their mother, Eva
Brownman. who lost her battle
w ith breast cancer in 1973. The
organization was created in the
hope that no child would lose a
mother, no husband a wife, no
mother a daughter and no one a
friend, to breast cancer. This
year's dessert promotion is in
memory of Mary Klein, mother of
Pigalle pastry chef Stacy Klein, a
participating sponsor.
In conjunction with Boston
magazine, the Professional Pastry
Guild of New England Charles
River Publishing and FOX-25 TV,
the Eva Brownman Breast Cancer
Fund has raised over $130,000
for Dana-Farber through this
JudyNeer
annual event .
Restaurant goers are encour-
aged to patronize any of the par-
ticipating restaurants and order
these special desserts being
offered from May 2 through 8 in
the hopes the Fund will one day
realize its important mission.

JudyNeer heads
Rick Hooker. President and
CEO of The Pile Companies,
announced Judy Neer, the
Managing Partner of Pile and
Company Consulting, has been
named President of the compa-
ny's cornerstone division. Ms.
Neer joined Pile and Company
in 1996 as a Senior Consultant
and quickly established herself
as a critical player in the bur-
geoning Agency Selection and
Evaluation practice.
"This move is long overdue."
shared Mr. Hooker. "Our lead-
ing position in the Agency
Selection business is largely die
result of Judy's leadership and
keen understanding of client-
agency relationships. Her skill
and insight, combined with our
proven processes have really
helped Pile and Company
Consulting provide extremely
valuable service to our clients."
Ms. Neer notes, "I am gen-
uinely appreciative of this
acknowledgement but view it
not as end but the beginning of a
new chapter in our work. Nearly
twenty years ago. Pile and
Company Consulting was one
of the forces in creating the
entire Agency Selection catego-
ry. A lot has changed since then
and we see numerous opportuni-
ties to add capabilities and ser-
vices that will only further the
quality and longevity of client-
agency relationships. I'm excit-
ed to have the opportunity to
continue to guide that evolu-
tion."
Judy lives in Cohasset with her
husband. Frank and daughter.

pop mardom — thanks
die crossover success of
1 2000 mega-unash sin-
i "I Hope You Dance"
and the million-selling
album of the same name
—Texas-bom singer Lee Ann Womack returned to her tradi-
tional country roots with the February release of her '-
album. "There's More Where That Came From" and a I
brings her to Plymouth Memorial Hall on Friday.
Womack may have scored the biggest hit of her career i
with "I Hope You Dance," but her similarly pop-in
2002 follow-up album, the prophetically named
"Something Worth Leaving Behind," proved to be of little i
est to record buyers. "1 Hope You Dance' is a terrific
because it connects with so many people. It was a c

became. If you sell millions and millions of records then the label
wants you to come back and do it all over again." explained
Womack by cellphone last week from her tour bus. "I worked
harder than I have ever worked on the follow-up to that album
and it just went nowherd'l
Womack. 38. didn't gb| anywhere, either, opting instead to
retreat both from the recording studio and the road to the
Nashville home she shares with her husband and two daughters.
"It was really great to get off the road for a while and jast be nor-
mal again. I was able to take the kids to school and see movies
with them. I love to tour, but the hardest pan is saying goodbye
to my girls and getting on the bus."
The two-time Grammy Award winner is making the sacrifice,
however, in support of her seventh album. "I've never been more
proud of anything in my entire career. I love country music
which is what this one is all about. This is an album I have
dreamed of recording since I was a young girl listening to
Loretta Lynn. Dolly Parton, and Connie Smith."
Produced by Byron Gallimore, Womack's latest release on
MCA Nashville features 12 new songs, including one the
singer co-wrote with Dale Dodson and Dean Dillon enitled
Twenty Years and Two Husbands Ago. "I was in my office talk-
ing to my assistant She asked me a question and I said I can't
remember - Lordy. that was 20 years and two husbands ago."
laughs Womack. "That kind of says it all about the new album -
pretty country and pretty much like my life."

NOISE RELATED HEARING LOSS
The National Institutes of
Health reports that more than 10
million Americans suffer from
permanent noise-induced hearing
loss. This can be explained, in
part, by reports by the National
Institute of Occupational Safety
and Health that some 30 million
Americans are exposed to daily
noise levels that will eventually
reduce their ability to hear. The
really troubling aspect of hearing
loss in this country is the age at
which it occurs. One in eight
children between ages 6 and 19
already have some degree of
hearing loss, and adults who are
Insure their hearing are doing so
at earlier ages. The greatest
increase in noise-related heanng
loss now occurs in people
between ages 45 and 64.
Unfortunately, many people
their heanng to dangerous noise
levels until it is too late,
fortunately, it is becoming the
norm these days to sec people
from all walks of life with ear
protection. If you or a loved one
has suffered hearing impairment
due to excessive noise, injury,
disease, or the aging process,
remember, you've got a fnend at

P.S. Hearing loss now occurs
almost 20 years earlier than what
experts have come to expect,
largely due to our increasingly
sd noisy env ironment.

Warm to New Brunswick's rich sea creature experience
By MICHAEL SCHUMAN

But people do COme to swim at the beaehes of
Kouchibouguac National Park (pmiuiunce it "kix>-
she-boo-gwack" and you ma) pass as a local). They
also travel to this eastern comer of Canada to bike,
watch birds and explore the seven preserved ecosys-
tems here, which combined were initially the raison
detre for the formation of the national park in l%9.
At that time this was a sparsely settled residential
area, anil about 1 ,200 people were relocated in order to
save this singular laid from further development A
sculpture liere paying tribute to the people Of the
region incorporates a picnic table sumiunded by lour
human figures: an Anylo-Canadian in overalls with
suspenders, an Acadian w ith a beret upon his tele, and
a native Mi'kmuq (pronounce it "mik-mak"> mother

ed program at Kouchibouguac, a Mi'kmaq Indian

it's oik- ol several park programs, including puppet
shows and active inspections of native culture at a re-
created wigwam. The purpose of our. officially
referred to as a "k-aming quest," was to offer an up-
close and personal inspection of the lifestyles of the
shelled and scaly.
After 20 minutes in the water our group of roughly
15 emptied into Tupperw are-sized tubs the results of
our net scrapes, everything from moon snails ui jelly-
fish. It seemed as it the entire clientele of Sponger**
Squarepants' workplace, the Crusty Crab, was in the
tubs at our feet.
As Therriault held a jellyfish, she invited us to take
turns sticking our fingers in the floppy blob's mouth.
Nearly everyone under the age of 1 5 took her up on
her offer before she informed them. "You just put your
linger in the jellyfish's mouth. At the same time you
just put your finger in the jellyfish's anus."
Ewwwwwwww!
This being a national park, all our catches were

safe to enjoy a crabby patty in Spongebob s underwa-
ter world.
Such guided explorations are the best way to experi-
ence Kouchibouguac. Like Cape Cod National
Seashore, this is not the kind of park that can be appro-
priately enjoyed from the inside of a car. No massive
mountain peaks or erupting geysers here. The plea-
sures are more subtle.
There is at least one walking trail traversing each
habitat, taking leisure strollers along jaunts through
forests and bogs, lagoons, sail marshes and low lying
dunes. Staffers recommend the two-kilometer Bog
Trail for those seeking gentle variations in llora and the
1 1 .7 kilometer Kouchibouguac River Trail as the best
place to see wildlife such as moose and black bear.
The prized sights to birders are the majestic osprey.
emblem of the park, and the bald eagle. Another rare
sight is the diminutive piping plover, which makes its

home in the dunes and is an endangered species. More
commonly spotted are terns, whose colony here is the
second largest in North America.
Our only view of an osprey was via bicycle. Bike
trails encompass roughly 36 miles and range from
easy to "ouch." We cycled a series of trails, most wide,
flat, paved and well-marked. The biking trail system
took us past a driftwood-strewn beach, a boat rental
outlet piney forests and trail-side markets that shed
light on park aspects from the local bird population to
the long, tidal Kouchibouguac River.
Of course, some will want to head straight to either
Kelly's or Callander's beaches, named for relocated
families. The Gulf Stream contradicts the park's north-
em latitude. The temperatures of the lagoon salt
waters, located between the park mainland and the
dunes, can range in summer from 68 to 80 Fahrenheit
and swimmers often dive in as early as May. The
waters of the Northumberland Strait on the outside of
the dunes, are also warm in summer.
IF YOU GO...
The park: Kouchibouguac National Park is open
year-round, but the majority of visitors come between
May and October, with the busiest time being from
June 20- Labor Day.
As with most national parks, the best place to start is
the visitor center. A 20-minute-long. nine projection,
multimedia show utilizes music but no dialogue to pre-
sent a taste of the park in all four seasons, and it is well
worth seeing.
Staying there: There is camping at the park (call 877-
737-3783 or go to www.pccamping.ca) as well as
motels in nearby Richibucto and Saint Louts.

selectmen's meeting.
But that's nothing new.
Selectmen's meetings in C'ofutssel
became a blood sport y ears ago.
So it should come as no surprise
that "mcnMvgale" has some resi-
dents crying foul over a "confi-
dential email" lhal surfaced last
week which included a legal Opfal
ion sent by Town Counsel Paul
DeRensis last November, ami w as
not distributed to all members of
the board of selectmen.
Now. not only do all selectmen
have the email but so do do/ens -
or perhaps hundreds — of towns-
people who received the memo
through forwarded emails.
Were Selectman Michael
Sullivan, who was chairman. ;md
then selectman Ronnie McMorris
trying lo hide the fact that
DeRensis slated private sewers in
town arc a "no-go" under current
Cohasset sewer rules?
Both Sullivan and McMoms
deny allegations they were trying
to keep thai information from
becoming public. The email was
alio Sent to interim tow n manager
Michael Buckley
In fact, Sullivan and McMoms
say the email, which was one of
three that day between DeRensis
and the board contained nothing
new and was an affirmation of
what was currently understood.
Although not sent to every indi-
vidual member, the email was
apparently accessible t 1 the entire
board at Town Hall. Selectman
Ralph DorrniBer referenced ii as

relating to the Cook project at the
April 26 selectmen's meeting sole-
ly dedicated to the Cook issue.

phone interview Tuesday, it

been a big deal. He Doted the
email was in response to a ques-
tion ol wbethera private sewer for

Avalon was talking to Hull about a

prompted the question of whether

The Cook Estate project could

men discussed completely
revamping the Request for
Proposals sent out during the first
bidding process to incorporate
new housing ideas for Ok- site.
Although nothing is set in stone
and the new RFP has not been
linali/ed or sent out to prospective
bidders on the project. Selectman
Gary Vanderweil said in his opin-
ion, he would like to see the pn>
ject scaled back even further to
roughly 50 or 55 units. In addi-
tion, he said he wouldn't rule out
building on the three Cook acres
located on the opposite side of
Sohier Street, which would have
served as a buffer for residents on
Fair Oaks Lane.

"I absolutely want it to be a pan

Vanderweil said he had only
spoken briefly to Coughlin, but he
had indicated fiom his first glance
al the tests, that there could be
severe limitations on the site. "He-
was concerned it wouldn't support

Vanderweil said it might be in
the town's best interest lo bring
Coler and Colanlonio back or hire
another engineer to complete fur-
ther lesiine on site, lo determine
exactly how many units can be
buill before sending out anothei
RFP. He also suggested the com-
pany fsi he soils on the three
acres on the Fair Oaks Lane side of

they could support development

Hedlund on hot seat
in stem cell forum
Some unhappy
with vote on bill
By Mary Ford
MFORDPCNC COM
Stale Sen. Ruben Hedlund
hosted a forum at Hinghum Town
Hall Tucsclav packed vvnli pro-
life constituents who expressed
their disappointment in the sen*
tor's \ote approving a bill on
embryonic stem cell research that
is before the Legislature.
The Weymouth Republican
who himself is pro life — can
usually count on support front
voters who are pan ul
Massachusetts Citizens lor Life.
Friends of the I nborn and simi-
lar organizations, but not this
lime.
Where the roughly 125 citizens
in the hall and the bill part ways
is on the definition of when life
begins: ul conception or 14 days
later.
Thai's the crux ol the issue thai
will no doubl continue tobc divi-
sive as ihe bill moves through the
House and then to fiuv \liu
Romney's desk lor an expected
veto.
Those who spoke m Ihe
marathon-long forum asked
Hedlund to support Rummy 's
veto.
"The Catholic Church teaches
life begins al conception and I
believe thai frottl my heart." said
Paul Morrell of Hingham 'It
makes sense in default to (he
most conservative point which is
al conception how can you
draw the line al 14 day s .'
"From the scientific point oi
view if we landed a spaceship on
Mars and found a 14-cell object,
headlines would scream Life
exists on Mars!"'
Stale Sen. Bruce Tarr. K
Gloucester. a co-aulhoi of the bill
and guest Speaker si mil realized
DS 1MB in unfriendly tenitor) At
one point he told ihe audience
which was prone to interrupting
his explanation by loudly voicing
their objections that he would
respect theft views il they would
respect his.
About stem cells
Stem cells are the basic building blocks for the cellular devel-
opment of the body
Stem cell research is divided into two groups: embryonic
stem cell research and adult stem cell research. The main ethi-
cal issues pertain lo embryonic stem cell research.
Kthical concerns: Harvesting embryonic stem cells unavoid-
ably involves destroying the human embryo.
Adult stem celLs are referred to as "muliipotent" insofar adult
stem cells are currently less versatile than "pluripotent" embry-
onic stem cells.
About the bill
The bill clarifies the
Legislature' support and
encouragement of stem cell
and other regenerative
medical research in
Massachusetts, creates a
licensing and oversight
mechanism lor institutions
conducting embryonic stem
cell research, requires
informed and voluntary
consent from donors, pro-
hibits human reproductive
cloning and prov ides crimi-
nal, civil and administrative
penalties For violation ol the
bill.
According to a summary from
the Slate House News Service,
"the hill stipulates a regulatory
role for Ihe Department of Public
Health; bans reproductive
cloning, and prohibits use of
embryonic material more than 14
days old. a de facte definition of
when embryonic material crosses
the threshold of humanity."
Hedlund told the crowd the
issue u as the most complex from
both a moral and scientific stand-
point thai he has had to grapple
With in his years in Ihe senate.
Tan explained the current state
law which allows slem cell
research is not adequate lo deal
with scientific advances. He
noted within a l()-mile radius of
the Stale House. Ihe foremost
experts in Ihe world are doing
embryonk stem-cell and adult
stem-cell research.
"li s significant thai we have a
cluster of people pushing the
edge
. . .It's easier to have a regulato-
ry framework in place before
something happens than after
because ihen people perceive
you ic taking something away."
Alter lertili/alion but before the
14 day benchmark ihe embryon-
ic cells are either "totipotent" or
"pluripotent" meaning they can
become anything in the body.
after that the spinal column Start!
lo appeal and the cells differenti-
ate into adult slem cells which are
"multipotenf" and less versatile.
Peg Whi thread, president ol
Mass. Citizens lor Life, drew
loud applause when she said Ihe
bill is really about money, "big
money" that would he coming
through grams for this type of
research.
She explained thai adull slem
cells an any that do mil come
from embryos "Even a baby has
adull siem cells." she said.
"Scientists can run amuck."
Whi thread said. "Just because a
scientist warns to know some-
thing doesn't mean we have to
him a license This bill gives a
Scientist B license to kill."
Li tula Thay er, w ho spoke from
Ihe audience, described the bill
as revisionist self-serving non-
sense." She said if something is
genetically human and alive - the
individual is fixed and not con-
ferred after 14 days.
Tarr. the senator from
Gloucester, noted the current
stale law allows embryonic slem
ceil research with fewer restric-
tions than this hill would put in
place.
Michael Jovanovic of Quincy. a
native of Serbia spoke up thai he
was for anything that benefits life
including abortion lo save the life
of the mother and embryonic
stem cell research if il can save
lives
"People thai do embryonic
research sacrifice one life so that
many other lives may live." he
said. "I'm for anything thai pnv
motes life - long live life!"
His remarks were noi popular
and some members of the audi-
ence shouted thai he was in the
wrong room.
Hedlund said he struggled w ith
Irving lo understand the biology
and the science before casting his
vote to which one person shout-
ed, "why not vote for the unborn
child, we trusted you!"
Hedlund responded. "I'm not
sure I voted againsl Ihe unborn
child."
The Rev. James Rafferty of St.
Paul Church said the issue
revolves around the central moral
question of whether a human
organism is endangered by the
process.
He said Ihe determination lhal
human life begins 14 day s afta
conception is arbitrary. "Human
life begins at conception." he
said.
Dr. Mildred Jefferson, a gradu-
ate of Harvard Medical School,
said the ethical issue cannot be
ignored. "There is never a juslili-
cation for killing of an innocent
human being no matter or small
or young that being might be."
She said government should not
be destroying life but rather be
guaranteeing the right to life for
everyone.

Ballpark oversight could
head to Town Meeting
SAMB R0WN©CNC C OM
Il may take Town Meeting
action to clear up the question
of who has jurisdiction ov er the
Beechwood Ballpark.
Although the selectmen believe
they have control and appoint-
ed a commitiee to oversee
improvements to the field,
members of the recreation
commission believe they are
being circumvented.
Town Manager Bill Griffin
has been in contact with Town
Counsel Paul IX-Rensis on the
matter since Dick Barrow. 283
King St.. who has served on ihe
recreation commission for the
past 26 years, raised the issue
with selectmen. Barrow said
when looking through Ihe 196.1
Town Report, he found an arti-
cle thai clearly stales his board
has control over all play-
grounds in town.
The article slates: "The lay-
ing out use and control of play-
grounds in Ciihasset. . . shall be
exercised by and are hereby
placed under the Recreation
Committee." Therefore.
Barrow believes the recreation
commission has jurisdiction
over any improvements to the
Beechwood Ballpark
Griffin contacted DeRcnsis
about the issue in March, and
correspondence from DeRensis
stales unless the ballpark was
acquired or received as a gift
and at that time placed under
the jurisdiction of Ihe recre-
ation commission, the land is
held under the jurisdiction of
the board of selectmen pur-
suant to state law. Atler con
ducting some research.
DeRensis found the town took
Custody of the ballpark in
January 1932. and there is no
reference on the deed thai Ihe
land w as placed under the juris-
diction of the recreation com-
mission.
However, the ruling did not
address the fact that the lown
passed an article in 1963 lhat
gives the recreation commis-
sion control over all play
grounds in town. Griffin pro-
vided the information to
DeRensis and asked him
whether taking lhal inlo con
sideralion would change his
opinion.
Correspondence from
DeRensis stales in order lo
clear up the situation, "Our
first solution is to propose lhal
an article be placed on Ihe war-
rant for ihe next Town
Meeting." lhal would confirm
which board has jurisdiction
over the field. Such a Town
Meeting vole, specifically
mentioning Ihe field, "would
conclusively pul lo rest this 20
10 30 year issue." he wrote
A second solution would be
10 have both the selectmen and
recreation commission ■ jointly
concur in iiinsdiclion over the
field because the contused
state ol the town s records
makes it difficult, if not impos-
sible. 10 provide a conclusive.
doubt-free answer." DeRensis
wrote.
Although IX-Rensis ..tiered
oiher allemalive solutions lor
correcting the dispute, such as
tracing Ihe title ol the land al
Ihe registry and searching old
Town Hall records, the legal
work involved would be cosi-
ly. Therefore, it was his rec-
ommendation the lown adopt
one ol the simpler options, and
bring it lo a Town Meeting
vote.
'Cat fights' could limit public comment
As a result of public comments
made during the Tuesday May 3
selectmen's meeting regarding a
memo from Town Counsel lo
two members of the board (set
related \torx). Selectman Gary
Vanderweil said he would like
the board lo discuss potentially
only having the public comment
pedod on the agenda perhaps
once a month.
"We're never going to get the
town's business done if we're get-
ting inlo these cat fights." he said.
However. Karen Quigley. 27
Clay Spring Road, w ho had come
to the meeting specifically to
make comments aboul the Cook
project said she takes "great
exception to elected officials w ho
are elated by ihe public to do
public business, thinking it's an
imposition to listen to the public
Thinking it's an imposition to lis-
ten to the public is inappropriate
and doing away with public com-
ment time is not the way America
should he run."
Vanderweil said when watching
the House of Representatives or
Senate on television. The public
isn't there raising their hands."
Selectman Michael Sullivan
said he thought il would be best if
the hoard discussed the mailer at a
different lime, bul said he doesn't
see what good il would do to
bring up a point al a meeting, bui
make residents wail iwo or three-
weeks before they can commeni
on iL
Selectman Ralph Dormit/er
said as far as public comments go.
"I value when people bring
insights and even ask questions
lhal enhance Die discussion, and
Ihe lown is currently trying lo
move forward and il residents can
bring information lhat adds value
lO whal the town is trying to
accomplish, thai is what he wants
to see.
Selectman R. >b Sn. 'It. id said he
does not want to see any restric-
tions pul on public comments and
added. "My door is always open
We have an obligation i>> listen,
and I will, even il I don't like the

Gilman has been working for
the past two years, comparing
Cohasset against similar munici-
palities, and has found it is one of
the most expensive towns on a
per taxpayer basis. He said it was
interesting to see his numbers
closely match the figures provid-
ed by Municipal Benchmarking.
The advisory committee would
like to host a roundtable discus-
sion with various town boards
where a representative from
Municipal Benchmarking would
be available to provide informa-
tion and answer questions.
McGee said that way, the other
boards could decide whether the
information would be useful for
them during the budget process
and secondly, whether they
would he willing to pay $7,500
for a full report for the town as a
whole to use.
The advisory committee
thought the report might be eye-
opening.
"This is a great lool, but it is
only as great as the people who
are willing to use it," said Waters,
adding some have a pre-con-
ceived notion of what is "out of
whack" and this third-party com-
pany can help dispel the myths.
He said there has been a prover-
bial line drawn in the sand, where
there is a feeling of "are you a
School person" when the budget
is brought up. This report could
help bring the budget together as
a whole, he said.
To Waters' point, member
Jama Gilman said in actuality,
the preliminary report compiled
by Municipal Benchmarking stat-
ed Cohasset schools are running
about average in terms of spend-
ing, but it is the police and fire
departments that are running at a
higher cost. From his own data
collecting, he has found Cohasset
spends an average amount of
money on its students, but
receives a higher product in the
end. i
McGee added she was shocked
to find how little the town spends
on its library compared to other

May 6. 2003 COHASSET MARINER PlgC '
Cook project to go back out to bid
A downsized Cook Estate hous-
ing development is on the hori-
zon.
Selectmen voted 4-0 in an
unprecedented Friday evening
meeting last week to issue anoth-
er Request for Proposal and solic-
it bids for the project.
Selectman Michael Sullivan did
not attend the meeting due to
scheduling conflict with prior
commitments.
The proverbial gun was at the
selectmen's heads because the
heirs to the Cook Estate refused to
extend the April M) deadline for
the town to have a viable waste-
water solution, hence the April 29
meeting.
The 95-unit project planned by
Northland Residential could not
go ahead as planned because soils
at the site could not handle a sep-
tic system for a development of
that si/e. Municipal sewer was
not an option, the sewer commis-
sion said.
So selectmen had to decide
whether to kill the project and
recoup the S2(X).(X¥) deposit but
lose the roughly S2.S0.IXX) spent
so far on consulting, engineering
and legal fees - or move forward
with fewer units whose waste-
water could be handled with an
on-site system.
"I believe we should move tor
ward and lake a risk with the
S200.0IX)," Selectman Rob
Spolford said. "We owe it to the
town to do that and maintain con-
trol over this property with mini-
mal risk to the town."
Selectmen said a substantially
downsized project wouldn't pass
muster under state procurement
law, dubbed Chapter 30B.
But choosing to droit a new
Request for Proposal (RFP) and
"We're supportive
off the town and
what the
selectmen have
decided to do and
we're eagerly
looking forward to
the RFP package
actively
participating in
the process."
— Jack Dewley, Northland
Residential
solicit new bids is not without
risk. The hoard said there is a
chance the town would not
receive any bids. In that case, the
town could be out the entire
1450.1 XX). Bui if an acceptable
new proposal surfaces, the town
could recoup the money from the
sale.
Selectmen noted the issue isn't
entirely about money bin over
control of ihe sile. In other words
il the town Steps away front the
plate, the Cook heirs could sell
their acreage to a developer who
could build single-family homes
when the town is in need of hous-
ing options for senior citizens.
Northland Residential, the
developer chosen alter the first
bidding process 14 months ago. is
not out of the picture. Selectmen
said slate bidding laws wouldn't
allow the town to negotiate with
Northland for a smaller develop-
ment, but they expected
Northland would seek the new
RFP.
Jack Dawley. a partner at
Northland, said his company
Itxiks forward to continuing a
positive relationship with
Cohassei
"We're supportive of the town
and whal ihe selectmen have
decided to do and we're eagerly
looking forward to ihe RFP pack-
age and anticipate actively partic-
ipating in the process," he said.
Selectmen said ihey could ter-
minate the RI P awarded to
Northland in March 2003 because
Northland never signed the Ijnd
Disposition Agreement, which is
similar to a purchase and sale.
Dawley said Northland did nol
sign the I. DA because the key
issue oi how to handle wastewater
disposal a) ihe sile had nol been
resolved.
Voters al ihe November 2003
special Town Meeting gave the
go-ahead for the town to purchase
the 22.4 acre Jane Bancroft Cook
Estate off Sohier Street to develop
age-restricted housing for those
55 and older and preserve open
space.
The Cook Estate, then valued at
S4.5 million, would be combined
with the 9.8-acre parcel the town
owns near Stop & Shop and Red
Fox Lane, to create a mixed-
income senior housing communi-
ty. The three-acre parcel across
Sohier Street (between the Mobil
Station and Fair Oaks Lane),
which is part of ihe Cook Estate,
would be retained by the town as
open space.
At a simultaneous closing, the
town would give the Cook heirs
54.5 million for their property,
and Northland will give the town
$5,425 million for both the Cook
property and the tow n's parcel of
land, leasing S925.000 for the
town. The minimum bid price set
by the town was $52 million for
both parcels
With ihe $925,000, the town
could pa) back any expenditures
accrued during the process.

Spring is sprouting at Holly Hill Farm
FROM HOLLY HILL, PAGE 1
"It is essential for kids and adulLs
10 leam about where iheir food
comes from and what ii lakes lo
t° it to the table." said
Educational Director John Belber.
» Inch is why he says the work the
friends programs are doing is so
important. He said throughout the
year, there are many different pro-
grams offered for both children
and adult*, which take advantage
"I the roughly 1 40 acres Holly Hill
hat to offer.
Holly Hill Ls an organic farm,
and roughly 4 acres are used for
larming. Those who participate in
its programs are taught not only
about the importance of eating
food which has been grown with-
out the help of chemical fertilisers
or pesticides on a person"s health,
but the benefits organic farming
methods have on the environment.
Phroughout the school year.
Belber said there are many differ-
ent school groups that use the fami
as an educational resource. He
said many students from Cohasset
High School have completed
community service projects at the
farm and students from the South
Shore Charter School in Norwcll
have a garden on site which they
regularly tend to. as do students
from the Inly School in Scituate.
Students from Wamparuek School
in Scituate also take annual field
trips to the tarm.
"We've got our fingers in a lot of
different areas." said Belber.
But students aren't limited to
the school day to leam about the
farm. This year, for the first
time, the farm offered after-
school programs beginning in
April which allowed students to
come to the farm two afternoons
per week to learn about spring
planting, soil study, and (he care
of young plants. Belber said
while he understands children
are often participating in many
other after-school activities.
"We're trying to put out another
option for kids. One that will get
iheir hands dirty a little bit." he
said. In addition, classes were
also offered for the first time
during April vacation week.
For those students who are too
busy during the school year, the
summer months can provide
another opportunity to leam about
titnn life. Belber said children's
summer farm programs are
offered for children ages 5- 1 2. and
during the classes, students are
taught how to grow their own veg-
etables, how lo tend lo the "educa-
tion garden" and are instructed in
carrying out age-appropriate farm organic
•The kids who come really do
love it" said Belber.
Belber said while the summer
programs are only three days long,
there are always plants in various
stages for the children to lake care
of. which gives them a better
understanding of seed develop-
ment. In addition, the organic
farm lends itself to lessons in nat-
ural fanning methods, especially
healthy soil composition.
"They leam how to make iheir
own compost and how to monitor
the soil." to ensure what they plant
will have enough nutrients to grow
strong and healthy, said Belber
He went on to explain that often-
times chemicals in the soil will
deplete it of its natural nutrients
and building healthy soil helps
sustain new plants.
Living on the water, Belber said
the students leam how kelp can
be used as a very effective, natur-
al fertiliser. In addition, he said
students leam lo make compost
from grass clippings and leaves
and leam about crop rotation to
ensure the land has the ability to
replenish itself and plants can
grow strong enough to lend off
insects naturally.
"Students gel experience with
methods of farming and
sustainable agricultural practices,"
Belber said.
For the past four years. Holly
Hill Farm has offered a Young
Farmer's program for teens, which
is an expansion of the pn>grams
offered forchildren. Students par-
ticipate in a week-long session
which begins at 8:30 a.m. and
ends at noon. Young farmers art-
given a "real" work experience, as
they sow seeds, transplant vegeta-
tion, weed the gardens, harvest
and sell their own produce at the
Holly Hill Farm stand. Students
who participate also spend One
day at the neighboring Weir River
Farm in the barnyard, working
with the animals.
At the end of the week, students
plan a menu and prepare a special
meal lor family and friends, made
up of all the fresh produce they
harvested during their stay. Young
farmers also receive a small
stipend for their efforts during the
week.
By being exposed to farming on
a local level. Belber said it helps
children realize they are able to
play a role in what they eat. "It is
vital for them to leam food is not
just at the grocery store, it's right in
their ow n backyards." he said.
Programming at the farm is not
limited to children as there are
many programs intended to edu-
cate adults. Area naturalists have
been invited to lecture and guide-
nature walks along the hiking
trails at the farm, teaching adults
about local bird life, plants and the
geological wonders of the town.
"We try to bring in local experts
and they each have a specialty."
said Belber. adding they are able to
enlighten adults on the natural
wonders the farm has to offer.
In addition, (here are organic
gardening workshops for adults
which are offered in the spring,
summer and fall months.
Classes are taught on growing
organic seedlings, growing gar-
lic, growing and cooking with
herbs, growing, arranging, and
caring for cut flowers, and creat-
ing the perfect compote
Holly Hill Farm is a working,
for-profit farm with a non-prof-
it educational branch, and the
two work together to educate
the community on (he benefits
of local farming. In fact. Belber
said Holly Hill Farm will be
having a plant sale May 21 and
22 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. dur-
ing which time rattle tickets
will be sold and the proceeds
will go to benefit the education-
al programs at the farm. The
ultimate goal is to build a new
greenhouse on the property
which will be used lor educa-
tional purposes

along Route 3A to connect to the
wastewater treatment plant in
Hull, with a connection to be
offered to the Cook Estate, was
not lawful and not worth further
coasideration. The sewer commis-
sion's rules and regulations pro-
hibit private sewers along public-
ways.
Now that the email is in the pub-
lic domain, some think it was pur-
posely withheld.
Wig Pierson. 123 Atlantic Ave.
who came to Tuesday's select-
men's meeting said, "there's
something rotten in Denmark."
He asked why the memo was not
distributed to the other board
members.
Sullivan said because the infor-
mation was nothing new. "I put ii
aside." Sullivan said the issue of
tying the Cook project into the
sewer didn't surface again until
recently. Two sewer commission-
ers s,iid at a recent public meeting
of the C<Kik working group the)
Sullivan pointed out in a telephone
Tuesday, if DeRensis ha
were an option for the Cook
then that would have been a big deal.
would be willing to discuss the
possibility of running pipes to
Hull if every project on the table
lor consideration was allowed to
tie in and all lawsuits were cleared
as a result. Sullivan noted.
Sullivan added the issues brought
forth in the memo were the same as
the Jerusalem Road Estates devel-
opment, which had asked the sewer
commission to allow it to iastall
pipes in Cohasset roads to tie in to
the Hull wastewater plant. The
sewer commission denied the
request, but could have allowed it
by changing the regulations. "1
think you're just trying to make an
issue." Sullivan said.
"We live in a democracy the last
time I checked." said Pierson.
adding the public has a right to
information about the town and its
projects. "One reason we're
behind the eight ball is because
this memo didn't surface until last
week." he said.
The conversation got very heated
and allegations were flying.
Sullivan, feeling personally
attacked, said to Pierson, "I'm tired
Of your shenanigans. You have
every intention of vilifying me!"
At that point. Selectmen
Chairman Fred Koed pounded the
gavel to bring the meeting back to
order He said the board has been
talking for some time about updat-
ing its rules and regulations. One
new procedure would be a binder
with rulings from Town Counsel
that can be easily accessed by the
public and would be continually
updated as confidential items
become public documents.
Selectman Rob Spofford noted
the email was supposed to be a
confidential document and now it
has been forwarded all over town.
McMorris attended the meeting
and addressed the comments
which were made, saying her
name and reputation have been
put on the line. "This is much ado
about nothing," she said.
McMorris explained the memo
was one in a series of three that
were sent by DeRensis that day
involving wastewater and Cook
Estate issues. 'To lake any one
piece is wrong," she said, adding
sometimes when members of the
board ask for an opinion. DeRensis
will send back his response only to
those who asked for it. and other e-
mails on the sewer issue sent later
in the day that referenced the earli-
er email were sent to all members
of the board.

their neighborhood and with that
assurance may have voted to allow
the town to enter into an agreement
with the Cix)k heirs at Town
Meeting.
"You want to shift the financial
burden across the street." said
Spofford.
However. Selectman Michael
Sullivan said it is his understanding
the soils xtoss the street were test-
ed by John Cavanaro. and they can-
not support development.
Spofford also said hiring anoth-
er engineer is a cost he would
expect a new de\ eloper to incur as
part of their due diligence process.
"1 don't feel really comfortable
incurring any more costs to the
town." he said.
Soil tests and other fees com-
bined have already cost the town
$250,000. but Vanderweil said. "If
we can put the sewer issue to bed
for $15,000 to $20,000 more, why
not?"
However. Spofford pointed out
Northland, which he hopes will
submit another bid in the second
RFP process, already completed its
due diligence with round one.
Representatives for the company
said the site can handle the waste-
water for 65 units.
The board will continue to work
toward coming up with criteria for
the new RFP. Sullivan said it
makes the most sense to work with
the old RFP. "We can pare it down
to do it with less units." he said, but
in his opinion the project should
remain relatively the same.
The board will meet again
Tuesday. May 10 to discuss the
Cook project, and hopes to be able
to meet with engineers from Coler
and Colantonio. John Cavanaro
Consulting. Tutela Engineering
and McSweeney Associates, the
engineers the Cook heirs hired to
complete due diligence on their
behalf, to gain information on how
many units the site can support.

Fin Chief Roger Lincoln, left, talks with Sewer Commission
Chairman Ray Kaspemwicz about the sewage that bubbled
out of the manhole onto Pond Street and Rte. 3 A on Tuesday.
Sewage spill mopped up
Sewage spilled onto Pond
Street Tuesday, causing the
Cohasset Fire Department,
sewer commission, and water
commission to rush to the scene.
Sewer Commission Chairman
Ray Kasperowicv. said the prob-
lem anise as the result of a per-
forated valve, which has now
been replaced.
Kaspemwicz explained there
are two pumps at the Route 3A
pump station, both of which
have check valves. The valves
act like the chambers of a
heart, and pump the effluent up
to the top of Pleasant Street,
and then it mils down the hill
to the wastewater treatment
plant. "The check valve keeps
the dirty water from flowing
back," he said.
The check valves look like
giant hockey pucks, and
Kasperowicz said with the per-
foration, water was able lo flow
backwards and manifest itself as
a puddle at the intersection of
3 A and Pond Street.
Kasperowicz said the tire
department was extremely help-
ful and was able to divert the
dirty water away from the storm
grates, which eventually lead to
the water supply. He said in
addition, the water department
came to the scene and sprinkled
chlorine in the dirty water pud-
dles to kill any bacteria that
might be present. "We even
reported it to the DEP. just to be
good dcxibies." he said.

Alternative energy committee
To thh Editor:
The alternative energy committee is looking
for a few volunteers to serve on this exciting
committee. So far four people have volun-
teered. There are openings for five more.
This committee will he lixiking at all types
of alternative energy for electricity. This could
be wind turbine, solar panels, water energy,
huying our electricity in a different way than
we do know. The sky is the limit for the com-
mittee.
Last year alone we spent almost SS6.IKK)
just on street lights. This committee can look
at these expenses and see how we could
reduce them. I saw in the paper today that the
electricians union off the southeast express
way in Boston is going to put up a wind tur-
bine. It will generate enough electricity for
their building and the school next to it.
This committee could be a lot of fun
and hopefully it will get started soon. All you
need to do is contact the Selectmen's office in
writing to be appointed.

Classic 'bait and switch'
TO THE EDITOR:
I'm going to vote in-favor of the approxi-
mately S400k override for The Cohasset
Town Budget. Here's why:
My daughters are in college now. so I could
"take the money and run." But that would be
very unfair. Every child deserves the great
education of the sorts my daughters received
in the Cohasset Public Schools, where they
were educated from kindergarten right
through to graduating from Cohasset Middle-
High School.
The Cohasset Public Schools prepared them
for colleges very well. I'm proud of both the
Cohasset Public Schools, and my daughters
Lydia and Jessie Guild.
On May 22. 2(105. Lydia will be graduating
from the University of Vermont with honors
(thank you Cohasset Public Schools). Jessie is
in her firsi year al Colby College in
Waterville. Maine. She loves it. Colby is chal-
lenging, but the Cohasset Public Schools pre-
pared her to standout and to continue to excel.
For her first semester, she got on the dean's
list, as did a number of Jessie's former class-
mates at Cohasset High School at their
respective colleges. An impressive number
made the grade.
Living in Cohasset has been the best deci-
sion of my life. I had no idea years ago just
how gcxx) a choice Cohasset is. but my gut
told me that this is the place.
We owe it to current students and future stu-
dents to continue Cohasset s tradition of edu-
cation excellence. Real estate prices in
Cohasset are higher than in surrounding
towns. Discerning home buyers pay a premi-
um to live in a town with an outstanding
school system, as any real estate broker will
tell you. so vote in favor of the over-ride. The
money will come back to you. when you sell
your house. If you want to stay in your house.
To the Editor:
I just returned home from the selectmen's
meeting at Cohasset Town Hall and I am
dumbfounded. I distinctly remember attend-
ing the town meeting when the Cook Estate
was being discussed and voted upon. One ele-
ment of concern to Fairoaks I .a no residents,
conservationists and other town citizens the
land owned by the Cix>k family on the
Fairoaks side of Sohier Street. More than 50
percent of Fairoaks Lane residents and other
citizens of Cohasset attended that town meet-
ing and were assured thai the Cook land on
that side of Sohier would not be developed. In
fact, it was voted on by the citizens of
Cohasset as part of the overall RIP which
would be sent out to developers
The town would buy the land and then resell
it to the developer with the highest bid with
the provision that this part of the land would
not he developed. "ITiis land would be pre-
served as conservation land. The citizens
voted on this. Isn't this why we go to town
meeting in the first place'.' That is the beauty
of dem<x;racy.
Okay, so here's the part where I become
dumbfounded. As I said. I just came from the
selectmen's meeting. Apparently, our new
selectman Gary Vanderweil has proposed that
the selectmen override the people's decision
and look at that land, which we voted would
become conservation, for erecting buildings.
He stated that one or two abutters should not
get in the way of decisions that must be made
by the selectmen. He also made the sugges-
tion that the citizens who sit in on the select-
men's meeting (and there we're more than 1 5
present) should remain silent al those meet-
ings ;ind that perhaps a monthly meeting
could be established for the people to make
their views known.
One or two abutters. Give me a break!
We're talking about a town vole here. We're
talking about town meeting where the good
citizens give up a gixxl part of their day to
vote on these things. This is a classic bail and
switch' Obviously. Mr. Vanderweil believes
he is miming a company where he is CEO
and we take orders from him. He made ihe
comment that in congress, the common peo-
ple don't get to have their say while they are
in the nx>m. According to him. we should run
selectman's meetings this way as well. Who is
this guy and where did he come from *
Cohasset is not Washington. DC. Even
Congress holds hearings with the people!
Wail... I remember now. Isn't Gary
Vanderweil a member of The Cohasset Land
Trust'.' Doesn't he bill himself as a conserva-
tionist? Well, how ironic. What's the hidden
agenda here?
Rob Spofford vehemently disagreed with
Mr. Vanderweil. Spofford made it clear thai
when he became a selectman, he was elected
to the honored position of "listening to his
constituents." That's how good government
should work. In a small town like Cohasset it
is even more important for town officials to
listen to the citizens.
The people of Cohasset should not take this
lightly. If the selectmen want to change this, it
should go in front of a special hearing or back
to lown meeting where it can be voted on by
the citizens once again. I honestly don't think
the people of Cohasset will take this very
well. The feeling would be that if the select-
men and other lown officials don't like the
original vote, they can re-vote again to try to
bring it back into their court.
Yes we need the green space on that side of
Sohier Street especially since the other side
will be developed and because of traffic
issues as well. But we need to preserve that
land for a more important reason than pure
conservationism. We need to uphold the deci-
sion we made as taxpayers and citizens of
Cohasset. We need the town meeting and Un-
voice of the people to mean something so that
the personal agendas of the people who we
vote into office will not become law.

The Cohasset Democratic Town Committee
wishes to thank the many people who helped
make its 4th Annual Yard Sale on April 30th
another rollicking success.
With all proceeds dedicated in advance to
the Committee 's scholarship fund, once again
community support was there in spades. We
collected and sold bushels of great re-saleable
stuff, all donated by hard-working members
and generous friends, and we had fun doing it.
As always, the biggest winner will be the
Cohasset graduating senior who becomes

Half-day kindergarten is at risk
COMMENTARY
Bi-toTarpky
As the parent of a child entering kindergarten in
September 2005. 1 fully expected that my daughter
vfouW attend the traditional hall-day program at the
(i.good School. While I was aware that the school
department was advocating the implementation of a
"Pilot Full-Day Kindergarten Program." it was
commonly undersuxxi that both programs would be
ottered during the trial period. Then, as is typically
tlfc case, they would be evaluated and judged upon
tlleir merits.
Fair enough, but unfortunately not the case. It
btcaiDE abundantly clear at the school sponsored
Kindergarten Orientation Meeting of April 1 3, that
lit- school administration has an agenda which
includes the elimination of the traditional half-day
program and the immediate implementation of the
lifll-day kindergarten program. Armed with
research "findings" drawn from studies of full-day
pCograms from other districts, the school adminis-
tration extolled the benefits of full-day kindergarten
while denigrating the value of traditional half-day
The school administration has
carefully created the impression
that if parents do not choose
the full-day curriculum, their
children will be at risk
academically as well as socially.
Although left unsaid, the data supporting this
research presumably comes from the 55 percent of
Massachusetts districts that currently offer full-day
kindergarten. A review of this list indicates that
almost all are considerably larger than our district
and many are located in urban areas. It is fair to say
that the benefits of lull-day kindergiirten in these
districts will be much greater than in an already high
achieving system such as Cohasset.
The sch<x)l administration has carefully created
the impression that if parents do not choose the full-
day curriculum, their children w ill he at risk acade-
mically as well as socially. The administration tur-
ther fueled these fears with its announced intention
ol "integrating" the half-day students into a full-day
program. Parents were told they could come and
"dismiss" their children at midday. This plan is
totally unacceptable. Integration of the half-day stu-
dents with those in the full-day pilot program would
create two distinct groups of students in the same
classroom. The flaws inherent in this expedient
approach are obvious. One. if not both groups, is
bound to he shortchanged.
There is a strong core of parents who believe in
the merits of the traditional kindergarten program.
There are also many parents who are "on the fence"
and wondering which way to choose. The adminis-
tration has not presented a clear plan for the lull-day
curriculum; the academic and social benefits of this
program have been overstated, and the administra-
tion is playing to the fears of these parents that their
child will somehow be at a disadvantage going into
first grade.
Children enter school at many different levels <>l
readiness academically and socially. There differ
ences largely disappear by third grade whether or
not your child attends a full-day kindergarten. The
school administration needs to continue the existing
half-day kindergarten program while piloting a lim-
ited full-day program through its initial phase ol
developing a curriculum and assessing its impact i m
the students. This would provide a clear choice
between two distinct options as promised when the
full-day pilot program was proposed.

Flap over email memo is misguided
COMMENTARY
Rowit M( Mounts
Last November, as the town prepared lor Fall
jnwn Meeting, as well as a special forum of all
Hoards on sewering issues. Town Counsel was
asked to respond to a series of questions. On Nov. 9.
he drafted three memos as part of an on-going dia-
logue addressing wastewater issues in town and
what options exist. The memos also repeated the
lew- part solution, t including a legal sewer solution
lor Cook), that he drafted in cooperation with the
Sewer Commission throughout the summer of
im
■Questions regarding (he legal implications of a
variety of wastewater solutions for Cook were dis-
cussed including, a possible wastewater disposal
site at Wheelwright Park: a sewer connection
dtrotlgh Khool property at Deer Hill; Cook's con-
necting to a private sewer line to Hull: as well as
negotiating with Hull lor additional capacity Main
of these options were discussed at the Nov. 22
fbrum hosted by the Advisory Committee
Taken in their entirety, the conclusions to be
draw n from these memos are the same as have been

discussed publicly many times. Private sewers are
prohibited by Sewer Commission regulations.
However a public sewer connection to Hull, negoti-
ated by the Town and formalized in an inter-munic-
ipal agreement was more than appropriate. It would
also have benefited homes on Old Coach Koud and
parts of Forest Avenue expansion areas in the
V.ji cement for Judgement.
This pasi «eck a Selectman admitted distributing
one of these memos to the public. This memo Irom
Tow n Counsel, the second in a series of three that
da) i the third of which was individually sent to
ever) member of the Board and made specific ref-
erence to previous memos), confirmed the illegality
of private sewers It also made Clear that a solution
could not be found without the cooperation of the
HEALTH NOTES
Sewer Commission and discussed other matters,
including legal strategy
This memo has been waved like Some smoking
gun by some who accuse Michael Sullivan and me
of pursuing a solution that had been deemed illegal
by town counsel and keeping it a secret. This is pre-
posterous and blatantly untrue. Anyone actually
looking for the truth, who takes the time and effbfl
to read the memo, in its entirety, will agree. Perhaps,
given one piece of the entire picture, someone
could misunderstand or misinterpret the lull context
of the opinions. Put all the pieces together and the
picture is clear. In a frenzy to tarnish the reputation
of those of us who are advocates lor seniors in this
community, the memo was misread. yet published
and spread via e-mail.
This is a time when our community needs to
come together to resolve issues like the balancing of
affordable housing needs and growth. We also are
grappling w ith declining revenues and cut backs in
services across the hoard. We need leaders and
thoughtful citizens who will bring us together to
find solutions, not who np us apart with innuendo,
misdirection and personal attacks Hie Cook pi> {fed

Volunteerism and emergency preparedness
By Steve Bobo
SPECIAL TO THE MARINER
This week, the Local Emergency Planning
Committee had its regular quarterly meeting This
in response to a growing recognition that the Town
would he defenseless in the face of any of a large
number and diversity of threats of low probability.
ThltaiS like blizzards, tsunamis, oil spills, plane
crashes, terrorist activity and so on.
One of the things left by 9/1 I is a recognition that
sometimes our plans are governed by c\cnts
beyond OUT control. When something like the lire at
the < bngregaliona] Church occurs, it's an opportu-
nity to think about our emergency services and the
part they play in our'daily lives The police, with
their new chiel and new iook are certainly before
us. The Fire Department is no less deserving of our
recognition and support.
The recent completion of the first phase of defib-
nllator training is an important first step, but there is
.i need for us to better understand our relationship
with the Fire Department and the emergency pre-
paredness functions necessary for a town like
Cohasset. Many long for the old "call lire" depart-
ment and the citizen volunteers w ho used to gather
to light tires in small towns. However, progress has
changed the role for volunteer services related to
emergencies. In the first place, it's generally con-
sidered necessary to have expensive and complicat-
ed equipment to efficiently fight tires and deal with
health emergencies in Cohasset. To operate this
material, special training and skills are necessary.
It's interesting to note, however, that there is a
minimum number of personnel needed to man a
Rre station A figure which has remained the same
regardless of the size of the town to w hich the unit
But the need still exists for a
substantial cadre of emergency
volunteer personnel with very
special training and skills to
support our paid fire and |
belongs. Fire stations in Boston. New Orleans.
Quincy. and Cohasset are all broken into units of
about 33 paid employees. There may be more such
units in larger cities, but the number in a unit main-
taining fire response is about the same. It is also a
fact that the shift structure of a fire fighting unit
makes it difficult maintain all the appropriate nec-
essary skills on a 24-hour basis. When other duties
related to the primary purpose of fighting tires and
emergency response become necessary, it becomes
difficult to find the personnel to accomplish them.
For example, defibrillator training is a simple task,
but with his task comes the several administrative
tasks of defibrillator maintenance, training records,
location and periodic inspection of defibrillators,
maintaining a structure of medical diagnosticians
available to review and oversee their use in an
emergency. This is an additional responsibility for
lire personnel. In addition, the training organization
needed to support emergency services requires a
substantial organization at the state and county level
to ensure the availability of appropriate equipment
for emergencies ;uid the people who know how to
use it.

Also, let's face it firelighters and cops, in order to
do their jobs have to have, if not different personal
ilies. certainly a different outlook. The) need to he-
risk lakers ready to accept situations of extreme
danger and intense activity interspersed with long
periods of preparation, training, and boredom; and
also the ability to adapt to a diversity of different
roles.
It's true that the old fashioned call firelighter with
his hat and fire axe ready at the door is gone. But ilk-
need still exists for a substantial cadre of emergency
volunteer personnel with very special training and
skills to support our paid lire and police personnel
Cohasset is lucky to have so many people w ho pitch
in to help with the many tasks involved in its day-
to-day operation. We have literati) dozens of com-
mittees and hoards on which our citizens serve
And. in fact, there's work for every type of tem-
perament. We have a Harbor Committee. Adv isOTJ
Board, a seniors committee, drivers for Meals on
Wheels and Fish, there's a group for every taste.
For emergency situations we need still another
group of volunteers. These people will provide
administrative support at the base of operations in
the event of an emergency , they w ill provide com
munications links between Town staff, fire and
police personnel. They will man backup facilities
such .is the secondary response center at the Water
Department. They will need to be trained and to
train to help paid emergencv personnel in dozens of
ways. This in response to their regular jobs. It's a
certainly that these people will be available in
Cohasset when the call goes out for the special
types of volunteers needed to support our emer-
gency personnel.

Robed Lipsyle. the onetime spurts colum-
nist who quit the New York Times to write
novels, has come up with a proposal that is
all but guaranteed to end baseball's nol-too-
enthusiaslic struggles with steroids.
He wants to outlaw the home run.
I nder the Lipsytc rule, a hall hit over the
fence w ould be out and the big league record
for home runs would revert lo the 61 hit by
Roger Maris of ihe Evil Empire back in
961, presumably without the aid of any
chemical stronger than sour mash
Right on. Bob. and I SO) this as a guy
whose only career home run came on a field
iff Bicklord Road in Last Braintree when
Holly Black couldn't find ihe hall in the
brush in Iranny Nordahl's backyard. That
field today is called Cape Cod Lane, bul I
digress . . .
The home run has been what's wrong with
baseball ever since baseball's owners discov-
ered thai large numbers of people are willing
10 spend even larger sums of money lo
watch that fellow Ruth hit balls out of the
park.
Maybe il we wound the yam a little tighter
around the core, they said, and outlawed
those- pitched balls that did tricks like the
spiller and the shine hall and kepi putting
fresh, white balls into play, halters could hit
them farther
The result was 54 homers by Babe Ruth
(talk about sour mashli and a whole new
game lhat was baseball in name only.
"The grand swat has marginalized think-
ing, finesse and planning in America's pas-
time." wrote Lipsyle in USA Today, "and us
life imitate!! art. the homer may just be a
kind oi metaphorical weapon ol mass
dcsiaiciion. As such, we should gel nd ol il "
I'm not encouraged thai the Lipsyle rule
vv ill ever be adopted by the lords ol baseball
For the past xii-odd years, their every action
has been directed toward helping their hired
hands jack another one into the bleachers.
Remember Circenberg Gardens?
When the Detroit Tigers sold Hank
Cireenberg. who once hit 5X homers tor
them to the Roxburgh Pirates, the Pirates
moved ihe left field fence in 30 feci and
called the new home run territory
"(ireenberg Gardens "
Greenberg lasted only a year with the
Pirates bul they still had Ralph Killer, anoth-
er SO-homer man. so they left the fence
where it was and rechrisicncd the area
"Kiner Korner"
"Home run hitlers drive Cadillacs." said
Kiner. "Singles hitters drive l ords."
Before Ruth hit 29 in 1914. home runs
were rare. The Chicago White Sox as a team
hil only six when they won the American
League pennanl in IWth. Frank Baker's 15-
year lifetime total of 93 earned him the nick-
name "Home Run."
The major league record was 27 set by
Ned Williamson of Chicago in IXX4 w hen
the ( uhs played their home games in
LaJcefront Part with its left field fence only
I XI) feet from bona plate. He hit all but two
of the 27 at home.
"You like offense, you loved 1-aUTront."
said Bill Veeck. baseball promoter extraordi-
naire "It was so small that early homers
counted as doubles. "
Not a bad idea' What do you say. Bob'.'

"NOW, SHE LOVES
TO LISTEN TO ME"
Frankly, I thought she was really getting tired of me and I was quite concerned at how
things were going. She always seemed to "snap" at me. 1 knew that she missed a few
words here and there, but, I didn't know that she couldn't hear me very well, at all. The
people at Mass Audiology were able to show us just how little she heard and how much
better her hearing could be. It was amazing and we are both so glad that we called. If
you are wondering about your loved one's hearing, don't wait. Have it checked, it's FREE!

Michael Grimm continues to
shine for Ihe Cohasset boys
lacrosse team.
The freshman joined junior
Aidan Buick to score a team-
high ihree goals in last week's
11-4 win over Norwell. He
notched two goals, again a team-
high, in Tuesday's 10-4 loss to
MarchfiekL
Buick and senior Jake Previte
scored the other goals againsl (he
Rams, who improved to 6-3 on
the year.
"We got behind in a hurry, but
we played pretty well in the sec-
ond half." said Cohassel head
coach Stu Curran. "Marshfield is
a very solid team this year."
The Skippers, who were 5-4
heading into last night's game
wilh powerhouse Hingham.
were within two goals of
Marshfield after Ihree periods. 6-
4. The Ranis then got a couple
fast-break goals to slarl the
fourth period, letting "the horse
out of Ihe bam" in Ihe words of
Curran.
The Cohassel coach was
pleased with his team's defen-
sive effort last Thursday against
Norwell. The Skippers also
received balanced scoring, as
Previte and Jon Grimm each
scored two goals to join Buick
and Michael Grimm as
Cohasset' s top scorers.
Senior goalie Chris Simms
continued his recent strong play
with eight saves.
Cohassel was a bit on the
shorthanded side these lasl two
games due to a few injuries and
illnesses, but acquitted them-
selves well. The Skippers will
need some of those bodies back
w ith a busy three-game schedule
next week: Hanover (Tuesday.
4). Sandwich (Thursday, 6) and
at Nantucket (Saturday, 3).
Curran says he likes where his
team is at right now.
"The I ids are working hard
and keeping positive," he said.
"We're 5-4. probably a little
ahead of where we were at this
point last year. We're remaining
optimistic as the season goes
on."
Straughn pitches
well in loss
to Abington
By T.J. Byrne
CORRESPONDENT
Although both teams entered
their game with under .500
records. Abington and Cohasset
still have plans to make a late
season run to qualify for post-
season play.
On paper, the Skippers were
the favorite, wilh their ace and
best player Ted Suiughn taking
the mound. The Boston
College-bound hurler has a nice
combination of a fastball and
breaking ball, which has posed
trouble in the past to a young
Green Wave lineup. Abington
has started as many as six
sophomores this year.
As Abington prepared 10 lace
Cohassel's hard thrower. Ihe
Skippers had an entirely differ-
ent match-up to face.
Sophomore Ed Campbell, mak-
ing only his second start of the
season, look the mound for the
Green Wave. Campbell is a rari-
ty at any level of baseball. He is
a pitcher who can consistently
and effectively throw a knuckle-
ball.
The end result was a fi-4
Abington victory Tuesday after-
noon at Memorial Field. The
win improves Ihe Green Wave
to 5-8. while the Skippers loss
dropped them al the time to 2-6.
"It was a very well-pitched
game." said Cohasset head
coach Al Gallotla. "We just
made too many mistakes to take
advantage of the pitching."
Abington coach Steve
Perakslis agreed with Gallotla
about ihe pitching performance.
"We were nervous about
Straughn before Ihe game and
we should have been." Perakslis
said. "He pitched a tremendous
game, bui so did Campbell. He
is so smart out there because he
knows how to mix in a fastball
and a curveball w ith his knuck-
leball."
Campbell's first start lasl week
versus Harwich was hampered a
bit wilh four earned runs. In Ihe
loss, Campbell pitched five
strong innings and gave up just
one earned run.

plate, which makes him a very

tinuation ol the consistent ami often
uiiminating play you showed all sea-
son, Your team SeAsOfl Statistics and

In South Shore Conference play, your
regular season record was 21 wins. 2
losses, and I tie KM 4.' points in the
Western Division standings. That

ular season championship in the
Western Division and reeenmc a num-
ber one SMid in the In team playoff
series
In the regular season, you scored 12.'
goats foi an eye-popping average of in
excels of 5 coals per came. Your stellar
team defense and coaltendinc only
allowed \2 coals on the season, pro-
ducing a goals against average per

In addition to your regular season and

need to he mentioned.
Jake lU-aulieu You were the team's
fastest straight away skater and showed
your balanced offensive skills by scor-
ing 14 coals and 14 assists during (he
regular season. You proved to be the
key Id victory in our District 4 tourna-
ment game against the Scahawks. You
covered the other team's best player all
game and denied him any scoring
while putting in the winning goal in
overtime for the victory
Chris Cohen You were perhaps the
most improv ed player on our team. You
hustled every shift and did everything
the coaches asked. Your two-way hock-
ev was excellent, and you showed thai
you have a real scoring touch by net-
ting 1 3 goals and 14 assists on the year.
Tommy Dixon You were the team's
third leading scorer with 2X goals and
I1' assists. You achieved those lofty sta-
tistics while getting used to playing
right w inc. YOU made a huge play in the
final game against Hanover when you
chased down and broke up a big play
when the score was still tied. That play
didn't register on the scoreboard hut it
may have turned the tide in the game.
Terrence Doonan, You were the
team's leading scorer tallying 35 goals
and 22 assists on the year. YOU scored
OUT first goal in the finals against
Hanover with a wrap-around move that
was as pretty as they come. Y'ou played
excellent two way hockey all year and
truly are a liv ing example of the sav ing:
"It's not the si/e of the dog in the fight
hul the si/e of the light in the dog."
Andrew Fontaine. You were the
team's most versatile player. We called
updn you to play every position on the
ice except goal tender, and you did so
extraordinarily well, 'tour excellent
skating and puckhandling skills pro-
duced 15 goals and 1 1 assists. Y'ou also
played a key role when our team was
shorrhanded in several games this year.
Ryan FoohCy. You were a force on
defense this year and plaved a big role
in keeping the other team off the score-
board. You showed excellent instinct
all year by reading the play before it
occurred and putting yourself in the
right place at the right lime. Your 5
goals and 1 1 assists was tied for second
among delensemen.
Hrindun Gardner. Your strength in
the comers and aggressive style in the

Frankie Lemieux. You were the

Brandon MacPherson. You owned

You hustled every minute of ev ery shift

several games due to injury. You scored
the winning goal for us in the finals

play making skills were critical for our
team all season. As impressive as your
offensive statistics are. they do not
begin to tell the whole story because
you were also one of our best defensive
forwards all year.

Head coach Turin Sweeney is
lixiking al next week as a critical
stretch of games.
"I think we have to win three
oul of four lo set ourselves up for
the tournament" he said.
That goal would appear lo be a
reasonable one if (he team play s

Marshfield. The girls looked

great feed from Mia Lieb-Lappen.
Alter ihe Rams gol on the board
two minutes into the second half.
Ri//otti scored her third goal of
the night w ith a well-placed shot
through the five-hole.
Marshfield pulled to w ithin five
at 8-3. but Mackenzie Holway
dashed all hopes of a comeback
with what may have been the goal
ol the game halfway through the
second half. The senior forward
worked her way past three
Marshfield defenders and fired a
over the goalie's nghl shoulder to
make ii 9-3.
Holway played another strong
all-around game, notching three
points (two goals and an assist J
and consistently dropping back to
help out on defense. Cohassel's
defensive scheme generally
requires forwards lo drop back,
and Sweeney says Holway is sei
ting a good example in that area of
the game.
"Mackenzie is the most
improved player on the team."
said the coach "She's played real
hard this year: 1 have lo give her
all the credit in Ihe world "
Lindsay Durkin quickly fol-
lowed Holway 's score w ith a goal
of her own. w heeling around from
behind the net lo put in her third
goal of the game.
Leading ihe effort on defense
for Cohasset was Miranda
Lanzillotti and Marissa Evans.
Molly Kirk also played a solid
game, forcing a number of
turnovers and sianing attacks the
other way for Cohassel.
"The defense has been playing

aged by the fact that his team has
athletes like Durkin. Sptrfto and

goals.

life." Monk writes. While per-
forming their routine duties,
light keepers that followed
Wilson and Antoine at the new
granite structure, experienced
other oddities such as discover-
ing that the lens had already
been polished, the lantern
cleaned and the lamp tilled with
oil. she said.
Local historian John Gallu/./o.
said although he has never seen
or heard the alleged Minot
Ledge Light ghost in action, he
has heard his share of stories
about it.
"The keepers would signal
each other when their shift was
Over," he said. "It was a sound
like banging a mug against a
pipe that can be heard up (the
coastline)."
According to Monk, some past
lighthouses keepers have heard
.1 voice coming from Minot
Light crying in Portuguese
"Sta> Away!" and have seen
both Wilson and Antoine in the
lantern room.
"During calm seas, it was said
that one could stare at the reflec-
tion of the lighthouse in the
water and see what appeared to
be the two drowned keepers in
the doorway." Monk writes.
In 2000. a granite monument
dedicated to both Antoine and
Wilson was installed on
Government Island in Cohasset.
where the current lighthouse
structure was built.
But David Ball, president of
the Scituate Historical Society,
said he takes these kind of ghost
stories with a grain of salt. "It's
a fun kind of story." he said.
For Ball, the biggest mystery
that came out of the tragic event
of Minot Ledge Light in 1851,
was the fact that there is no liv-
ing records of the two keepers
and no real history of their lives
that exists today.
"No one has been able to find
any death records of either one
of them." he said. "And nobody
knows where they are buried."
Ball said he's surprised that
Monk's book doesn't include
Scituate's other historic light-
house - Scituate Lighthouse on
Cedar Point — about which he
has heard other ghost stories.
Monk said although lighthous-
es serve as a "romantic back-
drop." there is also a gothic and
dark quality to them.
"They are in dangerous
places," she said. 'Their job is
to try and prevent death."
Monk's book also touches on
similar eerie ghostly tales,
including the sounds of piano
music at Maine's Sequin Island
Light, and the appearance of the
keeper's daughter at Hilton
Head Island Light in South
Carolina still appears when a
sudden storm is about to come.
According to Monk, the most
well-known haunted lighthouse
in America is the one at Point
Lookout in Chesapeake Bay.
Maryland. Visitors to that light-
house each year have widely
reported seeing the former keep-
er wearing a white blouse and
long, blue skin and ghostly voic-
es have been caught on tape.
"Each one of them has some-
thing unique." she said.

: man-eating venus flytrap at the humorous heart of the musi-
cal "Little Shop of Horrors" — now at Boston's Colonial Theatre
— weighs more than 3.000 pounds and is bigger than a
Volkswagen bug wlien it reaches its full size, according to Michael
Latini. one of three puppeteers who help bring "Audrey fj" to »
menacing life. And, in what should serve as a cautionary tale for "
fertilizer-happy local gardeners, Latini also points out that the
well-fed plant grows to 18 feet tall.
While reaching that height, "Audrey IT puts increasinc
demands on her puppeteering trio. "Out of four puppets, only one '
istxKrjerforrnedbyarxirjprteCT.TlVp j
of us, and voiced by an actor who works off-stage in a sound-proof '
booth using a series of monitors, microphones and speakers The
first two stages of the plant are hand-held puppets. In the third"
stage. 'Audrey II' is a full body puppet, with one of us sitting in thej
flower pot on stage and additional vines being operated off-stage'"
by a second puppeteer. In the final stage, the puppeteering is a
combination of live and mechanized work." explains Latini. "This
show is the hardest puppeteering iVe ever done. We have to use a
combination of strength, agility, awareness and orjncentiation."
Based on the 1960 Roger Corman cult film classic of the same
name, the story was made a musical in 1982 by the songwriting
team of Howard Ashman and Alan Mencken for a long-running
off-Broadway production. Steve Martin and Rick Moranis starred
in a 1986 film version of the musical. A 2003 Broadway mount- >
ing — directed by Jerry Zaks with puppet design by The Jim I
Henson Workshop and Martin P. Robinson — spawned the cur-
rent national tour. The versions vary, of course, but each tells the
tale of Seymour Krelboure. a mild-mannered Skid Row florist
who makes a dangerous deal with a tiny plant to win the heart of
the woman he loves.
Puppetry' first w< >n the heart of Latini. 26, while the PWladelphia .
native was a student at Temple University's Tyler School of An. .
Since then he has worked as a puppet builder on the Broadway
productions of both "Little Shop" and "Avenue Q." Latini began ;
his puppeteering career playing the larger-than-life title character I
in the national tour of "Bear in the Big Blue House."
"1 loved playing Bear. It was the first time I had done anything
fully enclosed. My head was at Bear's chest and I used my right
arm to operate his head. It looked so real that people had no idea
how it was being done."
A similar magic can be found in Seymour's flower shop, accord-
ing to Latini.
"The puppeteering is so enjoyable that people can give in and .
believe that the plant is really alive and really eating people."

A celebration of the life of the female artist over 40. the t
media exhibit will be on display in the lobby of Boston's 5
Street Playhouse through August 29.
"I was attracted to this project because I'm not sure ,
always think of quilters as artists and this provided a good
opportunity to set Ihe record straight." explained Anastos. a long-
time member of Norwells Herring Run Quilt Guild
I6x 16 self-portrait is done entirely in fabric.
"I love doing this work. It is like I've been sewing my l
life, since I learned it at my mother's knee. In the past
years. I've probably made over 100 quilts and wall-hangings.
My piece for this show is called Now You See Me. Now You
Don't' and is made from fabrics that have a special meaning to
me. My hair is done in a music-themed fabric, because when I
retire I'm going to learn how to play the piano." says Anastos
who has been a guidance counselor ui Fontbonne Academy in
Milton since 1982.
Anastos first learned of plans for the "40x40" exhibit — sales
from which will benefit not only the artists, but also "Women for
Women." the service foundation of "Menopause The Musical"
— while attending a January performance of the musical come-
dy about the challenges lacing women over 40 as they deal with
"the change."
"1 learned about '40x40' just six days before the deadline for
consideration. I quickly submitted three photos of my work and
was delighted when I was chosen lo participate. It's a great pro-
gram, because it helps women over 40."

Turin unshrouded
Upcoming Olympics
turns spotlight on
industrial Italian city
By FRAN GOLDEN
TURIN. Italy — lis the home of Fiat,
the land where Tie Tacs breath minis
were invented, the birthplace of line
barolo and barbaresco wines and not-so-l'ine
asti spumante and a region famous for both
chocolate and white truffles, unearthed by truf-
fle-sniffing dogs.
But if you haven"! heard much about Italy's
Piedmont region, don't worry. You will. Turin,
capital of the region, and home of a certain
shroud, as well as 900,000 people, will host the
2(Xrf> Winter Olympics next February, with
events taking place here and in the SnOW-tpv-
ered "Milky Way" mountains of the Alps, about
60 miles away. Look for a bigger dot on the
tourist map
A recent visit showed Turin (Torino in
Italian) to be full of surprises. On first inspec-
tion it's an old industrial city — an Italian VCP
sion of Pittsburgh perhaps — where Fial is
king. But then you notice a historic Fiat plant is
now a super modern Le Meridien hotel, part of
a complex designed by the acclaimed Renzo
Piano, no less. And you notice, heck, there's a
lot of modern art here (including iwo major
contemporary art museums, one in Castello di
Rivoli. a former House of Savoy castle. And
aren't there a lot of "beautiful people" in dow n-
town's historic coffeehouses and on the arcade-
lined streets. And. wow. check out the Italian

designer duds.
Then you meet chain-smoking chef Davide
Scabin. who is probabl) insane, can quote from
"Men in Black" and "The Da Vinci Code." and
is a perfect example of what makes Turin tick:
a one-Micbelin-star chef with an unusual phi-
losophy thai food should be playful and "help
keep alive the little girl or boy in each of us."
An example from his multicourse Creative
Menu (SI 83 per person) is his trademark Cyber
Egg. Served in a clear plastic box. it's a balloon
filled with egg yolli and caviar (you are
instructed to open the box. make a out in the
balloon with an X-acto knife and suck). Scabin.
whose restaurant CobaiZero is in the Castello
di Rivoli. and who teaches at the Polytechnic
here, is also an excellent classic chef (his risot-
to with fontina cheese, topped with white truf-
fle shavings, is lo die for) and no doubt will be
a big hit in New York some day. (Olympics-
goers note: Scabin is planning special picnic
menus for the Games i

A baroque square In Turin.
Turin is currently a construction zone — think
Grande Dig. Parking lots are being created
under dow ntown's Baroque squares, new struc-
tures are going up and old buildings are getting
face lifts. For instance, the opening ceremonies
will be held in Stadio Olympic, a former soccer
stadium commissioned by Benito Mussolini in
1932, to which additions are being made that
match the original design.
Figure skating, speed skating, short track and
hockey will be held in or close to the city.
Olympic banners are on display around lown
and an information center has been created in a
city square.
Meanwhile life goes on. including in the
charming coffeehouses, such as Bicerin, with
roots in the 1600s. where for about $5 you can
enjoy the namesake bicerin hot drink, with lay-
ers of coffee, bitter chocolate and cream —
heaven in a cup.
Want hip? Turin's goi thai too. especially in
the recently revived Roman Quarter, with a
late-night crowd (you can dine here until mid-
night), restaurants, bars, cafes and wine bars.;;
Stan your night as the locals do with an aperi- •
lif such as vermouth (invented here) then go to-
a late dinner and stroll the piazzas or hit some
clubs.
Chocolate is king here. About an hour away
in Alba. Ferrero makes Ferrero Rocher choco-
lates and the chocolate hazelnut spread Nutella
(the candy firm also created Tic Tacs). Inside
the city are chocolate shops galore, offering
gianduiotto, a melt-in-your-mouth combo of
chocolate and hazelnuts wrapped in gold foil.
And the Shroud of Turin? Many visitors are
surprised to find it's, well, shrouded. It's
housed in the Duomo. and what you see is a
wooden altar in which (he shroud, which some
believe is Jesus" burial cloth, is encased.
There's also a copy of the cloth on display.
Once the property of the House of Savoy, the
shroud is now owned by the Vatican and is tra-
ditionally displayed only in Holy Years (the last
in 2000. the next in 2025). although ihere are
rumors the pope at least will be asked to put it
on display for the Olympics.

Getting there: Fly Alitalia lo Milan and drive

'FuU-day'
has critics
Some parents
feel pressured
By Samantha Brown
SAM8B0WNeCNC.COM
With a May 18 kindergarten
enrollment deadline fast
approaching, some parents feel
they arc in a quandary regarding
whether to enroll their kindergart-
ner in a full-time tuition hased
program next fall or in the tradi-
tional half-day program.
As a way to help boost educa-
tional opportunities for
Cohasset's youngest students as
well as the bottom line of the bud-
get, the school department will
offer both full-day kindergarten
in addition to the half-day pro-
gram for the first time this fall.
Parents will pay $1,800
"tuition" to participate in the full-
day program for the year. With at
least 70 students expected to sign
up, the program could yield
$126,000. There is no charge l or
the half-day program.
The Osgood School recently
held an informational kinder-
garten orientation program for
parents that did linle to allay
parental stress over which pro-
gram is r*st for their child.
Concerns including questions
over the potential integration of
full- and half-day students in the
same classroom led families to
turn out in numbers at the May 5
school committee meeting.
"It has not been explained how
this will work." said Beth Tarpey,
1 2 Bates Lane, the mother of a
child about to enter kindergarten.
Tarpey. who supports the hall-
day program, said parents were
frightened by w hat was said at the
orientation, including the possi-
bility of combining the full- and
half-day students into the same
classroom, when they thought the
half-day separate program would
continue to be an option.
She said "half-day" parents
were told they could dismiss their
kindergartner early every day
from the combined classroom.

are on the fence (about half-day)

PHOT0/SAMANTHA BROWN
Assistant Principal Mike Gill and Police Chief James Hussey field questions from the media
following the discovery of a threatening note and bullet at the middle-high school Wednesday.
Investigation launched
on school incident
Bullet, threatening
note found
atCMHS
By
SAMBH0WNeCNC.COM
All Cohasset police officers
were called to the scene when
a note implying threats along
with a bullet was discovered
Wednesday outside the mid-
dle high school.
Police Chief Jim Hussey
said just before 6 a.m., a
member of the school faculty
who was opening up the
building for the day found the
note and ammunition.
Hussey said because there is
now an open investigation
into the matter, he could not
comment on the specifics of
the note, including what it
said or whether it was hand-
written or typed. He would
not specify the type of gun
that would use that size bul-
let.
He did say it was an actual
bullet and not a shell.
"The note implied a threat
and we take that very serious-
ly," said Hussey. He said the
note and bullet have been sent
off for forensic processing.
When the note was found,
the police were immediately
called to the school. It is still
unclear whether the note was
left at the school Tuesday
night or very early
Wednesday morning.
Students begin arriving at
roughly 7:20 a.m. and entered
a "lockdown" situation,
where they were escorted to a
safe location upon entering
the building. Hussey said to
ensure the safety of the slu
dents, they were all kept
together.

PICTURE IHIS/Keith Gauley
Name: Keith Gauley
Occupation: Deer Hill
Elemental") School Principal
Best day of your life: The
day I graduated from high
school (interestingly enough) as
I reali/ed that 12+ years o I
effort ami work went into mak-
ing thai day happen.
Best vacation: Our trip two
years ago to Phoenix. Ari/ona.
We climbed Camclhack
Mountain, golfed, and we
went to BankOne Ballpark to
see .i Diamnndhaeks game. It
«.is our first lime in the
Southwest.
Favorite season: Autumn
Favorite holiday Christmas
because I love the lime speni
wilh family and I always enjoy
huying a secret gill I o r
ni> wile or my kids and Watch-
ing their reaction to the gift.
1 Favorite junk food: Hostess
cupcakes still "call my name"
more often than the nutritionist
or doctor might like.
Best hook: My lavorile book
of all lime from when I was a
kul was "•Summer of the
Sw ails."" My favorite book
as an adull is actually the origi-
nal John Grisham book •"The
Firm."
Best movie: l May be ihis is
predictable but...) Stand and
Deliver
Keith Gauley
Best TV show: Extreme
Home Makeover
Pet peeve: Adulls who com-
plain al youth sports games
about the referee/umpire.
Most embarrassing
moment: Nothing comes lo
mind right away - but I would
say lhal il was a public
speaking situation at a School
Committee meeting (in a for-
mer district) and I had one
heck ul a lime speaking f I u -
ently and finding the righi
words for the moment.
Unfortunately, il was on cable
television as well.
Cioal: To be remembered as
a person who was devoted to
his family and who made a
difference in the lives of oth-
ers. How we do thai doesn't
really matter - bui being a
husband. father, teacher,
school principal, and coach
helps make this happen.
Person I'd most like to
meet: Actually the "unknown
person" because I fee] thai
sometimes we gel loo hung
up on those who are famous
people and the "'unknown per-
son" is sometimes just as tal-
ented - jusi a special - and
lias yet 10 be discovered. We
only have lo listen to find out
how special people are.
Biggest worry: Poor health
coming my way.
Best part of Cohasset: The
support of ihe community and
the wonderful children at Deer
Hill School.

Special election moves next door
By Samantha Brown
SAMBHOWN©CNC COM
; Citizens heading to Town Hall
fpr the May 21 special election
won't find the usual array of vot-
ing booths and cadre of poll
workers.
• Instead they'll find an auditori-
um filled with seats and a stage
decorated for that evening's per-
formance of the Cohassel
Dramatic Club's production of
"Annie." a show that was booked
months before officials realized a
special election would be neces-
sary.
"But voters won't have to go
iery far. The election will be held
Horn H a.m. to 6 p.m. next d(x>r to
Town Hall at the Second
Congregational Church Hall. 43
Highland Ave. All registered vot-
ers will be notified of the change
of venue for the election via
direct mail 10 days prior to the
day.
The advisory committee
recently approved a $5,270
reserve fund transfer to cover the
special election costs that include
moving voting booths, paying
election workers, and the printing
and postage necessary to inform
voters of the change of venue.
May 21 is the first Saturday the
election could be held and still
meet the minimum 35 days
required once an election is
called to allow for voter registra-
tion, absentee ballots, and ballot
preparation. The following two
weekends, Memorial Day week-
end and high school graduation,
could be more problematic.
Rather than wait until June or
hold the election on a Tuesday.
Town Manager Bill Griffin
looked into the alternate voting
site.
A $400,000 Prop. 2-1/2 over-
ride to subsidize the school bud-
get and a debt exclusion asking
voters to support a $13.2 million
"50/50" taxpayer subsidy for the
Little Harbor sewer project are
on the ballot. Although Town
Meeting supported both the over-
ride and debt exclusion, under
Prop. 2-1/2 rules, both must pass
with a simple majority at the
polls.
If the $4(X).(KX) operating bud-
get override passes, it would be
the fifth one approved since 1999
and the 12th since 1988.
Operating budget overrides per-
manently increase taxes. The
town passed a $4(X).(KX) override
last spring that subsidized the
school budget.
If the override does not pass,
cuts to the fiscal 21X16 budget will
be needed to make up the deficit.
The average homeowner with a
$670,000 home will pay $6,998
in taxes for fiscal 2(X)5. based on
a tax rate of $ 1 0.44 per $ I .(XX) of
assessed valuation. If the
$4<X).000 override passes, it will
be an additional 1.81 percent
increase, or roughly $1 26 for the
average homeowner, bringing
that homeowner's total lax bill up
to $7,550. a total 7.89 percent
increase Horn fiscal 2(X)5. For
fiscal 2(XI6. the lax rate will
increase to $ 1 1 .27 per $ I .(XX). or
82 cents including the override.
The tax rate also includes the
built-in yearly 2-1/2 percent
increase, which will add $167 to
the average bill, and there will be
a debt exclusion increase of 3.7
percent, or roughly $259 for the
average bill, which covers debt
service for projects, such as the
school building expansion and
renovations. A Community
Preservation Act 1 .5 percent sur-
charge is also added to the total
bill.
The debt exclusion on the bal-
lot would subsidize the Little
Harbor and North Cohasset
expansion sewer projects. With
debt exclusions, the taxes go
away when the debt is paid off.
Town Meeting approved two
sewer articles at the annual Town
Meeting which would appropri-
ate $12 million lo connect 440
dwelling units in the Little
Harbor/Atlantic Avenue neigh-
borhoods to the municipal sewer
plant off Elm Street and $1.2 mil-
lion lo expand the North
Cohassel District lo include 57
homes along portions of
Jerusalem Road. Rusi Way and
Deep Run. Town .Meeting also
voted to ask all taxpayers in town
to pick up 50 percent nl the COM.
hence ihe need lor the debl
exclusion
The so-called "50/50" is in
keeping vs ith precedent estab-
lished in the mid-IWK with
expansion ol the Central
Cohassel District and develop
men! of the North Cohassel
Sewer District when voters al
the pi ills agreed in share the COM
ol sewer installation for both
i hose projects.
If Ihe debl exclusion override
passes, il will add another 15
cents to the lax rale on top ol the
19 cents a successlul Operating
override would add II ihe debl
exclusion fails, the users will
pick up the. entire cosl of Ihe
sewer through bettenneiM lees.

Some parents feel pressured
about full-day kindergarten
FROM KINDERGARTEN. PAGE 1
Tarpey, adding parents are getting
(he message they better send their
children to the full-day program,
or they will be the "odd man out
academically or socially."
"I think your intention was to do
all you can do to undermine the
half-day program," she said.
A lull-day kindergarten feasibil-
ity task force made up of Osgood
Principal Janet Sheehan.
Curriculum Coordinator Ruth
Fennessey, Osgood Adjustment
Counselor Bob LeCount, as well
as parents, kindergarten teachers,
preschool teachers, and special
education teachers, was estab-
lished in the spring of 2003 to
determine the feasibility and
potential financial gains from
such a program.
The group developed and dis-
tributed a district survey and
roughly 159 surveys - or 20 per-
cent - were returned of approxi-
mately 475 distributed at Osgixxl.
375 at Deer Hill and from 25 to 50
at local preschools. Roughly 52
percent of parents who responded
said they would enroll their child
in a tuition-based full-day pro-
gram, while 30 percent said they
would not enroll their child.
Seven percent were unsure, and 7
percent reported enrollment was
not applicable.
Jeff Moy, 33 Ledgewood Dr..
also has a child about to enter
kindergarten and said he under-
stands the issue is a complicated
one. "My own house is divided,"
he quipped.
Moy said regardless of which
program he prefers, his major
concern is combining both the
full- and half-day children in the
same class room.
"I don't think you guys have any
idea of how the curriculum will
work." he said, adding there will
be some children who would be in
school all day and could therefore
work at a slower pace because
they have more time.
"What happens to the half-day
class? Do they work at half speed
for the full-day class and double
time for the half-day class? I
don't want my child to take a risk
either way," he said.
School committee member
Alfred Slanetz suggested looking
into potentially having full-day
kindergarten for all students
maybe two or three times per
week and half-days the rest of the
week.
But Sheehan said much research
was done and it was determined
offering a full-day program that
allows children to study topics in
a more in-depth manner works
best when offered five days per
week.
Sheehan said currently, she
hears from kindergarten teachers
who say they feel rushed on a
daily basis. In response to Moy's
comments, she said the half-day
classes won't be racing to keep up
and the full-day class will not be
operating "at a snail's pace."
Teachers in the classrooms will be
able to determine the proper pace
for students, she said.
The task force report stales
research has shown children have
greater academic and social suc-
cess in scIkxiI by participating in
full-day kindergarten programs,
and that full-day kindergarten
children perform better than half-
day kindergarten children. It also
states children are better prepared
to make the transition to first
grade, and that children score
higher on achievement tests if
they are enrolled in full-day
kindergarten programs.
The task force also examined
data relative to full-day programs
across the stale and found 55 per-
cent of Massachusetts school dis-
tricts offer full-day kindergarten.
However, space and fiscal
resources have been the top two
barriers to implementing pro-
grams. With the movement of the
third grade up to the Deer Hill
school, Osgood has plenty ol
space to accommodate students
Tarpey said Cohasset needs to
decide whether the town will.offer
full-day mandatory kindergarten
for all students and find a way to
fund it. or decide only half of the
children may attend and set tip a
lottery system for enrollment it
that is what the town can afford.
But when School Committee
Chairman Jamie Williams asked
if money was the main problem
with the program, all parents in
the audience blurted out ••no*
The school committee will lake
the matter up again at its May 19
meeting. For more information

mate above," he said. "Bui we
want to crawl before we start
running."
Establishing a town Web site
- was part of a larger discussion
about the future at the May 3
- selectmen's meeting.
• Griffin said he would like to
■work with the board of select-
men, advisory committee, school
committee and director of
'finance to hold a series of fiscal
review sessions to improve
financial management. This
would culminate in an annual fis-
' cal summit in the fall that would
prepare the town for the upcom-
ing budget cycle.
' 'Griffin would also like to
■ develop a long-term financial
model to project town revenues
and expenditures over a five-to-
10 year period, and "show where
we're likely to have problems."
He said he wants to be able to
undertake "what-if analyses
based on assumptions from prior
years. He said he has a model he
can use from another town and
Director of Finance Michael
Buckley will be able to help him
with the historical data.
Griffin also plans to develop a
set of financial policies and
guidelines to address topics such
as:
• fiscal reserves
• financial planning and moni-
toring
• capital planning
• debt management
• revenue enhancement
• investments
Griffin said he plans on utiliz-
ing the capital budget planning
committee as part of this initia-
tive.
He also plans to act on
Buckley's request to form a trust-
fund investments advisory com-
mittee. "There are a lot of smart
people in town who know about
trust funds," said Griffin, adding
the town could benefit from their
expertise.
Another goal is the careful
monitoring of departmental
spending trends during the
course of the fiscal year to mini-
mize the need for supplemental
appropriations at the fall special
town meeting, Griffin said.
Griffin said he would like to
develop a schedule to assure the
Town Meeting Warrant is com-
pleted in a timely fashion. "Less
than half of the articles in that
book had a recommendation."
from selectmen or other applica-
ble boards at the annual Town
Meeting and that should not be
the case, he said.
Griffin would also like to
develop an administrative code
to organize board policies and
procedures and update them or
develop new policies and proce-
dures as necessary. Griffin said
he would be utilizing the help of
all the boards to determine what
is appropriate. "I shouldn't be
sitting in my office deciding how
you're going to run things." he
said.
Selectman Michael Sullivan
said he would like lo see a strate-
gic plan for building mainte-
nance put in place. He also sug-
gested implementing an educa-
tional program for residents as
Grcenbush commuter rail train
comes to town.
Griffin said he will prioritize
the goals and won't address
everything at once. "I want lo
have some goals to keep working
on next year." he quipped.

blind eye. While MacCarthy
believes there should be zero tol-
erance during the event, no) all
parents shared her view last year.
Middle-high school Principal
Jack DeLorenzo said all the bath-
-rooms and locker rtx»ms would
'be secured before the party.
"Based on last year's party, we
know the kids were one step
ahead of us," he said.
Underclassmen were allowed
into the building to view the dec-
orations beforehand and appar-
ently hid alcohol in various areas
for the seniors. "This year we
won't be showing the town (the
decorations) and the building
won't be open," he said.
Supt. of Schools Denise Walsh
said wording in the contract did
not specifically address students'
acknowledging the event would
be drug and alcohol free. She
said she would like to see a line

DeLorenzo agreed and said stu-

A 'no' vote for school choice New sPorts Web site tekes off
Students from other commu-
nities will not have the option
to attend Cohasset public
schools under the School
Choice program, at least for
the 2005-2006 school year.
The School Committee cast a
negative vote last Thursday,
and will therefore not be open
to accepting any new students
through the program.
Every year, school districts
'are given the opportunity to
decide whether they would like
to become part of the School
Choice program. The vote
against enrolling must be cast
by June I. and the Department
o/ Education must be notified
or the district is automatically
enrolled.
Before the vote was taken.
.Supt. of Schools Denise Walsh
'.cautioned the school commil-
_tee, "Because of tight class
■dzes, this wouldn't be some-
thing I think would be a bene-
; 3jt right now."
think we have such a class
size issue it's a no-brainer
we'll vote against it," said
Alfred Slanetz.
Rick Flynn agreed, "We
haven't had it, why change
now?"
The Massachusetts School
Choice law was enacted in
1991 to give parents the oppor-
tunity to send their children to
schools outside the town they
live in. According to the
Department of Education. 15
states in addition to
Massachusetts offer some form
of inter-district public school
choice, and 25 others have leg-
islation pending.
Parents do not have to pay
tuition for their children lo
attend public schools in other
towns, and the state pays
tuition of roughly 75 percent of
the per pupil cost, up to a limit
of $5000, which would mean
Cohasset would receive com-
pensation, but not enough to
fully cover the cost, which is
roughly $8,000 per student.
The Cohasset High School
athletic department has a new
Web site, which Athletic
Director Ron Ford said has
been working out well.
"We've gotten a lot of positive
feedback from parents." he
said.
At last week's school com-
mittee meeting. Ford also
reported on the effect of higher
user fees for sports. Students
now pay $125 for the first
sport. $125 for the second
sport and $100 for the third
sport to help offset reductions
in the athletic budget. In turn,
students receive a complemen-
tary adult pass to all home
"This sports season has been
very well attended." said Ford,
adding more parenls could be
attending as a result of comple-
mentary passes.

I have always been fairly fit and strong and I have always
wondered what it would be like to really go to the next level.
How do people feel when they are really fit?
I received a voucher from Fitness Together and considered
the offer. 1 am very busy with 2 companies, 2 kids, a
traveling husband and a million other distractions. Time is
ALWAYS in short supply. FT offered close proximity to my
house, a time that was convenient for me, and a really
efficient workout.
I still go 3 times a week, and always look forward to it. I see
plenty of friends there and the atmosphere is great. The
session is private, focused and all about me and my goals. It
takes no mental effort on my part, and the best thing for me
is that it is an appointment, so I have to show up. I am not
dieting or trying to lose weight. I love the way I look in the
mirror, and I feel really strong and fit. It has been a fantastic
investment for me , and 1 love having FT as part of my life.

Ruth and Abraham Coblentz
spent many an afternoon in good
company at the Cohasset Council
on Elder Affairs. They would
dine with friends, enjoy music,
and attend educational programs.
As a way of saying "thanks."
Abraham, affectionately known
as "Abe" by his friends at the cen-
ter, left a $30,000 donation in his
will to the CEA. which was pre-
sented Monday by the couple's
niece Sandy Goldman.
"I hope this can be used for one
or two lunches as well as special
entertainment programs. They
really loved music." said
Goldman. She added the money
could also be used to help with
transportation costs as well as
helping those seniors who cannol
afford the cost of their prescrip-
tions. She also said she hoped the
funds would make it possible for
the CEA to host more educational
programs on estate planning and

Affected bubblers
are taken off line
By Samantha Brown
SAMBROWNeC NC.C0M
Waler bubblers in certain
areas of all three Cohassei
school buildings have been
temporarily shut off as routine
testing revealed abnormally
high levels of lead and copper.
Health board chairman
Peggy Chapman said there is
no reason for alarm, as the
water sources that had elevated
levels of lead and copper have
been shut off and therefore,
continued exposure will not be
a risk.
Supt. of Schools Denise
Walsh alerted parents, students
and staff of the problem and a
plan of action via an April 25
letter. The letter states educa-
tional materials will be distrib-
uted lo parents and flushing of
pipes as well as follow-up test-
ing will be conducted at the
schools.
"The administration takes
these results seriously and is
moving immediately to safe-
guard the health of the stu-
dents, faculty and staff," she
wroie.
Water commission chairman
Glenn Pratt said the town is
required by the Environmental
Protection Agency to conduct
annual water testing in town
buildings. One year ago, tests

showed elevated levels of both
lead and copper. The water
department reported its find-
ings to the school department.
"We found some samples
were high, which didn"t sur-
prise us," Pratt said. He
explained copper leaching is
more prevalent in new pipes
which do not have the buildup
of a protective film on the
inside, and new copper pipes
were installed at the middle-
high school and Deer Hill
school during their renova-
tions. Copper leaching typi-
cally occurs in pipes where the
water is not constantly mov-
ing, and at the school build-
ings, drinking water fountains
or "bubblers" are the biggest
culprit.
"Drinking fountains don"i
get that much use," said Pratt
and therefore, waler lends lo
sit in the pipes.
Prati said after last year's
tests, then Supl. of Schools
Edward Malvey was in the
process of retiring and the new
facilities manager was not on
board. "A lot of time went by
with the DEP wringing its
hands, waiting for Cohassel's
plan (to fix the problem)," he
said.

PUBLIC NOTICE
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR DRINKING WATER
The Cohasset Water Department Has Levels of Total
Trihalomethanes (TTHMs) Above Drinking Water Standards
The Cohasset Water Department recently violated a drinking water standard. Although this is not an
emergency, as our customers, you have a right to know what happened, what you should do, and
what we are doing to correct this situation.
We routinely monitor lor the presence of contaminants in drinking water. The test results we received
lor the 1 st Quarter of 2005 show that our system exceeds the standard, or maximum contaminant
level (MCL). lor Total Trihalomethanes (TTHMs). The standard lor TTHMs is 80 parts per billion
(ppb). The average contaminant level ol TTHMs over the last lour calendar quarters was 94 ppb.
What should I do? You do not need to use an alternative (e.g. bottled) water supply However, after
reading this Notice, if you have specific health concerns, consult your doctor.
What does this mean? This is not an immediate risk. If it had been, you would have been notified
immediately. Some people who drink the water containing trihalomethanes in excess of the MCL
over many years, however, may experience problems with their liver, kidneys, or central nervous
system, and may have an increased risk of getting cancer.
What happened? What is being done? When will the problem be corrected? TTHMs are formed
by the interaction of organic matter in the water with chlorine which is added as a disinfectant We
have succeeded in reducing TTHMs by (a) changing to a more etfective coagulant; (b) replacing the
filter media: (c) moving the pre chlorination point in the plant and installing battles in the clearwell;
and, (d) operating the treatment plant 24 hours a day. allowing us to deliver fresher, better tasting,
and lower-TTHM water, to your tap. We are continuing to make further improvements that will allow
us to further improve tap water quality
Please share this Information with all the other people who drink this water, especially those
who may not have received this notice directly (for example, people In apartments, nursing
homes, schools, and businesses). You can do this by posting this notice In a public place or
distributing copies by hand or mall.

been working on resolving
those areas ever since,"
Slanet/ said, adding any health
related concerns are very seri-
ous issues and the school
department is working to fix
the problem. However, it is
still unclear what happened
between the time the tests were
completed in the spring, and
the lime Adams received the
reports.
"There is a new group of
leaders and administration in
town and they are very much
on top of this." Slanet/. said.
Pratt said the new pipes
aren't totally to blame for the
problem. He explained lead
gets into in the waler from the
solder which holds the old
pipes together. At the middle-
high school, not all pipes were
replaced with the renovations,
and some older pipes still
exist.
"The elevated levels were
found at all schools, which is a
surprise in the Osgood,
because that school has no old
plumbing and the new pipes
are old enough so one would
not expect to see elevated lev-
els." Pratt said.
Adams said the tests which
were conducted al the schools
showed results that were bare-
ly over the allowed levels but
were enough to require taking
action. He said there were
roughly 120 samples taken
from different areas through-
out all three schools. The
results were:
e Cohasset Middle High
School — 4 locations lead; 5
locations copper
• Deer Hill School — 6 loca-
tions lead; 4 locations copper
• Osgood School — I loca-
tion lead; 2 locations copper
"The lead and copper is not
in 'he water (from the treat-
ment plant) and not in the
town's pipes which arc iron,"
said Pratt, meaning the conta-
mination is taking place within
the school pipes. Therefore,
(he issue is not the water
department's responsibility to
fix. even though it conducted
the initial testing. "But we
would certainly help in any
way we can." Pratt said.
Adams said the water in the
affected areas was shut off lo
prevent students from drinking
from the fountains. The areas
were Hushed to remove any
contaminants. Additional
water samples were taken after
the flushing last Friday (May
6) and when the school depart-
ment receives the results that
will determine the next course
of action, he said.

mittee meeting in provide more
information. To receive an
update prior to that date,
please contact Facilities

Water department in compliance
with TTHM standard
The Water Commission has
announced that in the 2nd
Quarter of 2005. the Water
Department is now in compli-
ance with the Tolal
Trihalomethanes or "TTHM' reg-
ulation with a level of 77 parts
per billion, which it had tem-
porarily exceeded in the 4th
Quarter of 2(X)4 and 1st Quarter
of 2005.
"We are confident that we have
conclusively solved the TTHM
problem." said Glenn Pratt,
Cohasset Water Commission
Chair. "Since early January, our
voluntary testing has shown that
we have succeeded in reducing
the levels in our water system to
an average of 55 ppb. much less
than the standard of 80 ppb."
According to Pratt. Cohassel's
running average over the past
four quarters, as of the 2nd quar-
ter of 2005. had been lower than
the maximum contaminant level
of 80 ppb. Yet. the results of tests
taken throughout 2005 the have
been significantly lower and are
consistent with the levels seen in
similar towns as Cohasset. The
reduced levels are believe to be
the result of several improve-
ments made by the Cohasset
Water Depi. to the treatment
process and distribution system.
Pratt explained. "We have suc-
ceeded in Sufficiently reducing
TTHMs. as well as significantly
improving overall water quality,
through an aggressive four step
program." Key aspects of this
program include:
replacing the tiller media to
provide belter filtration and con-
tent removal
changing to a more effective
coagulant to remove more tolal
organic content from the waler
changing the chlorination
process and injection point
operating the treatment plant
24 hours a day which improves
the treatment process and dra-
matically reduces the amount of
time that water is stored in the
distribution system
These steps allows us to deliv-
er fresher, better tasting water,"
Pratt added. 'Cohasset residents
should be assured that we are
working diligently to continue to
improve the quality of our tap
water as we proceed with our
long-term capital improvement
program for the Cohasset Waler
System. Toward that end. we
immediately were able to solve a
problem with the proper report-
ing of chlorine contact time that
occurred during the first week of
March." Pratt said.
According to a notice distrib-
uted to all Cohassei residents, in
order lo ensure proper disinfec-
tion, water in the treatment plani
must be in contact with chlorine
or a similar disinfectant for a
minimum amount of time. The
amount of time necessary, the
contact time, depends on the
amount of disinfection in the
water and the temperaiure of the
water.
"Operators did not take chlo-
rine residual samples al the prop-
er time to assure chlorine contact
time was achieved, and did not
record that the chlorine residual
concentration was al a level suf-
ficiently high to achieve the
required contact lime," Pratt
explained. "We solved this prob-
lem quickly by providing the
operations staff with specific
written operating procedures and
calculation tables to simplify the
calculation of the contact time
and facilitate the adjustment of
the chlorine dose to ensure thai
regulatory requirements are
met." he added.

Investigation launched on incident
FROM INCIDENT, PAGE 1
Officers from the department
met with school officials and it
was decided the best course of
action would be to conduct a
thorough search of the building
and its grounds, including
searching every locker. At
roughly 8:50 a.m., the decision
was made to dismiss all stu-
dents at 9:20 a.m., the conclu-
sion of the first block period.
All after-school and evening
activities for the day were can-
celled.
Officers, wearing rubber
gloves, searched through out-
side trash cans, along the out-
side walls of the school build-
ing, in bushes, and other incon-
spicuous areas for any evi-
dence.
Parents were notified via the
Connect-ED technology sys-
tem that was recently pur-
chased by the school depart-
ment. A pre-recorded tele-
phone message from Assistant
Principal Michael Gill was sent
to every student's home about
the situation and the decision
to evacuate.
A subsequent message was
also sent home to alert parents
that an unrelated industrial
accident had taken place off
school grounds and the
MedFlight helicopter would be
landing on Milliken Field to
transport the victim.
Gill said all roughly 800 stu-
dents from grades six through
12 were dismissed in an order-
ly fashion. 'They didn't seem
frightened, but they certainly
weren't laughing," he said.
After students were dis-
missed, some teachers
remained in the building for a
while, but most had left for the
day by 11:30 a.m., just before
news crews from Boston-area
television stations began arriv-
ing.
Later in the day, another
Connect-Ed message was sent
home by Principal Jack
DeLorcnzo. thanking the stu-
dents, staff, parents, and
Cohasset Police Department
for their cooperation in han-
dling "Our unfortunate incident
today." He also informed par-
ents school would be in session
Thursday, the day would
progress as usual including
holding Student Council elec-
tions, and that members of the
police department would be at
the school for the rest of the
week.
"We encourage parents to
discuss this incident with your
sons or daughters, and we
would appreciate any informa-
tion you may share with us." he
said.
Hussey said members of his
department would be present at
the school. "Thursday and
Friday and maybe into the
future."
In addition to the police,
Hussey said the school depart-
ment will be taking measures
on its own. He said there is a
heightened level of alert which
means certain doors will be
locked at all times during the
day and means of egress and
exit will be restricted. Hussey
said outdoor activities, such as
physical education, would be
curtailed to ensure students are
kept inside the building at all
times.
The weather was beautiful
Wednesday, which may lead
some to speculate the incident
was a teen prank to get the day
off. Hussey said hoax or not, it
is a crime.
"This is a felony and it's a
very serious crime," he said,
adding the laws have changed
regarding threats in light of ter-
rorist activity. The presence of
a bullet with the note makes the
incident highly punishable.
Gill said in the 25 years he
has worked in the Cohasset
school system, nothing like this
has ever happened before. "It
was the ammunition that led us
to be very concerned." he said.
However, with the help of the
police department, he was con-
fident students could return
safely to school Thursday.
Hussey said the department is
trying its best to bring quick
closure to the incident. He said
the incident "leaves an uneasy
feeling for people" especially
since the youngest students in
the building are in sixth grade.
An anonymous lip line has
been established by the
Cohasset Police Department
and anyone with any informa-
tion on the incident is uryed to
call (7X1)3X3-1055X1047.
We'll make you smile.

PUBLIC NOTICE
The Cohasset Water Treatment Plant Failed to Achieve the Necessary Contact Time
The Cohasset Water Department recently violated a drinking water standard Although this situation
does not require that you take immediate action as our customers you have the right to Know what
happened, what you should do. and what we are doing to correct the situation
In order to ensure proper disinfection, water in the treatment plant must be in contact with chlorine
or a similar disinfectant for a minimum amount of time On March 1 7. 2005 this did not occur
Although chlorine quickly kills most bacteria, it is less effective against organisms such as viruses
and parasites For this reason, water needs to mix with chlorine lor a longer period of time to kill
such organisms The amount of time necessary, or the "contact time depends on the amoun' of
disinfectant in the water and the temperature of the water
What should I do? You do not need to boil your water or take other corrective actions However
if you have specific health concerns consult your doctor
People with severely compromised immune systems, infants and some elderly may be at increased
risk. These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers General
guidelines on way to lessen the risk of infection by microbes are available from the EPAs Safe
Drinking Water Hotline at 1 (800 1 426-4791.
What does this mean? This situation does not require that you take immediate action If it had. you
would have been notified immediately. Tests taken during this same time period did not indicate the
presence of bacteria in the water Inadequately treated water may contain disease-causing organ
isms These organisms include bacteria, viruses, and parasites which can cause symptoms such
as nausea, cramps, diarrhea, and associated headaches These symptoms, however are not
caused only by organisms in drinking water, but also by other lactors If you experience any of these
symptoms and they persist, you may want to seek medical advice
What happened? What is being done? Water treatment plant operators did not maintain the
required chlorine residual needed to meet the calculated contact time We solved the problem
immediately by providing the operations staff with specific written operating procedures and calcu
lation tables to simplify the calculation of Ihe coniaci time and facilitate adjusting the chlorine dose
to assure that regulatory requirements are met.
For more information, please contact Hugh Spurway Superintendent at (781 1 383-0057 or by mail
at the Cohasset Water Department. 339 King Street. Cohasset. MA 02025
Please share this information with all other people who drink this water especially those who may

Opinion
An appeal
to parents
This is an appeal m parents of teenagers to "just say no.1
That means say "no" - unequivocally and without
exception - to condoning underage drinking.
The message is particularly important this time of year
with proms, post-prom parties, and graduation looming.
It's often a time when parents are tempted to let down
their guard, especially v. ith a son or daughter who is in the
senior class.
Alter 12 school years, even the most vigilant parent
might be templed to look the other way thinking, albeit
misguidedly. that a beer or two is a rite of passage for
youth about to embark on the next phase of their lives.
Next year. Tom or Sally will be in college where they're
bound to drink, so why not let them learn to deal with it
now?
As reporters, we cannot stress enough that approach
amounts to nothing more than providing a boot camp of
sons for learning how to abuse alcohol.
It's also hard for some parents to say no because it's cool
to be the parents who allow a little drinking, collect the
keys and try to tuck everyone in for the night.
Some parents don't realize that teens are smart. They
often have another set of keys in their car. And it's impor-
tant to remember that driving drunk is not the only way a
teenager can hurt himself. Inebriated teens can throw up
and choke on their own vomit, stumble into the street and
gel hit by a car. jump from an upstairs w indow, or gel
alcohol poisoning. From where we sit, we've seen all of
the above.
We once covered a story where a drunk teen put the beer
glass in his pants pocket, fell breaking the glass, which cut
an artery and he bled to death.
Not a pretty picture. We don't like covering those stories
and interviewing the grieving families.
The graduation and prom season should be a time to
make happy memories.
To put it simply, this is scrapbook time. Our teenagers
get dressed up and head off to the prom; they get mea-
sured for their cap and gown for graduation day. The
spring is filled with parties where friends and family get
together lo celebrate a milestone.
Please, keep those parties alcohol free as far as teenagers
are concerned.
It's just not worth the price. Say "no" and mean it.
No alcohol, no way.
Full-day,
half-day
The "half-day" kindergarten year can be crazy for work-
ing parents. But if one parent can be at home with the
kids, half-day can be a wonderful transition from
preschool to full-time, regular school.
We realize there are a lot of forces at work to make full-
day kindergarten a reality in Cohasset. But we sympathize
with those parents who feel some pressure that if they opt
for half-day their child will be behind when he or she
starts the first grade the following year.
In our highly competitive society, those fears are real
and very frightening.
But we urge those parents who choose the half-day pro-
gram to rest assured their child will do fine. The extra
time at home, taking walks, going shopping or to the
community center, or having lunch together can be more
beneficial than full-time school at so young an age.
It seems a shame lo rush our children into full-lime
kindergarten when we don't have too.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
To the Editor:
After watching last week's selectmen's
meeting, it appears the newly constituted
board is looking to adopted a new approach
to public service eliminate the public !!!

Cook estate options
to the Editor:
It seemed, however briefly (see paragraph
3 and 4 below) that a pipe to Hull to serve
Avalon. Cook, Cedarmere and the Stale
organization that handles drainage from the
landfill, could be legal, if ownership is struc-
tured carefully and if our sewer commission
agreed. This should obviate lawsuits by any
of the above four entities. If the contract with
Hull strictly limits the contracted flow, it
may be that we would be insulated from suc-
cessful lawsuits for additional tie-ins.
The town should anticipate the possibility
(maybe the probability) that, in the future,
without that pipe. ( l ) the condo association
thai lakes over management of Cedarmere
may soon demand to be hooked up to an off-
site sewage treatment system (2) Avalon
and/or the State may sue for the same (3)
The soil on Cook estate may prove to be
unable for long to accept the wastewater
from more than a few units (even fewer than
the number the selectmen are tinkering with
at this moment) and hence require off-site
treatment.
Of course Hull holds the strong cards to
negotiate price and terms, having been smart
enough to build a treatment plant with
excess capacity and an ocean outfall when
such an outfall still was permitted and the
cost of plant was largely paid for by the
State. And of course Cohasset would have to
plan, years ahead, what to do on termination
of the contract with Hull. But there has to be
such planning and rational action anyway,
because sewage treatment needs are going to
increase substantially, if not for any or all of
the three reasons above, then for others not
listed.
The hopeful vision of a pipe to Hull was
stimulated by the surprise suggestion recent-
ly from two of the three sewer commission-
ers that a pipe to Hull could work, and the
seeming belief of town counsel that if
approved by the sewer commission and with
careful attention to ownership, route, etc.
that it could be legal. Until then, a pipe to
Hull was not considered because of the well-
know previous opinion of counsel to the
effect that, without sewer commission
approval, such a pipe was not legal. (The
widely circulated email suggesting conceal-
ment of the previous opinion, though
cloaked as public-spirited outrage and dup-
ing some recipients, was but another piece of
mischief that helps perpetuate the poisonous
atmosphere we have developed in the last
two or three years).
But then the sewer commission voted
against the pipe to Hull, perhaps sensitive to
the outcry that it would stimulate growth
along 3A. or perhaps for more rational rea-
sons. (If the contract with Hull strictly limit-
ed the contracted flow, it is believed that we
would be insulated from successful lawsuits
for additional tie-ins and hence from stimu-
lating undesired growth).
Anyway, that hope for saving Cook and
precluding lawsuits (from the four entities
listed in paragraph one) was extinguished.
Although some dumb things were said or
implied at the May 2 selectmen's meeting
(e.g. sell the lots adjacent to Fairoaks to a
developer, put a damper on public input, use
a developer rather than a consultant to advise
on revising the RFP. don't bother under-
standing the reasoning behind the original
RFP). Selectman Vanderweil wisely recom-
mended that the real long-term absorption
capacity of the soil be better established
before settling on the number of units.
Should it be determined that the soil can
support fewer units than can be "affordable"
and the project still be economically viable,
then other options must be considered. Such
options as: (1 ) subsidizing the cost of devel-
oping (2) exercising our option to purchase,
and reselling; (3) exercising our option and
eventually building something of economic
or other benefit to the town; (4) reconsider-
ing a pipe to Hull; (5) seeing if any of the
critics have anything constructive and worth
pursuing; (6) letting go. and letting some
entity other than Cohasset benefit from this
valuable real estate.

Urges 'yes' votes
on override question
TO THE EDITOR:
Cohasset voting is on Saturday. May 21.
from 8 am. until 6 p.m. in the Second
Congregational Church (next to the
Cohasset Town Hall). There are two ques-
tions on the ballet: 1 .) A S400K operational
override 2.) A debt exclusion for sewer
enhancements for several sewer districts
(including the Little Harbor area).
Since I will be out of town on the weekend
of voting. I have voted absentee in favor of
both the operational override and in favor of
the debt exclusion for sewer enhancements
for several sewer districts. Maintaining the
high quality of the Cohasset Public Schools
and building a sewer system for the Little
Harbor area are the responsible things to do.
I urge all of you to vote Yes on both ballot
items.
On the weekend of May 2 1 . and 22. 1 will
be at the University of Vermont in
Burlington. Vermont. My oldest daughter.
Lydia Guild, is graduating with honors. I
would like to extend heartfelt thanks to the
teachers, administrators and the school com-
mittee, who were responsible for and did an
excellent job of educating Lydia from
Kindergarten through graduating from high
school. They instilled in Lydia skills which
made graduation from college with honors
possible. My youngest daughter. Jessie
Guild, is in her first year at Colby College.
She too went to the Cohasset Public Schools
from Kindergarten through graduating from
high school. In the Cohasset Public Schools
she was educated, molded, and shaped to
study hard and stand out even in a challeng-
ing environment. Thanks to the Cohasset
Public Schools for again doing an excellent
job.
This year the Cohasset Public Schools
have a new Superintendent, Dr. Denise
Walsh, who by the way is doing an excellent
job. Please show your support for Dr.-
Walsh's educational improvements and
financial transparency with a Yes vote on.

Clearing starts along the old rail bed
Tom GrlbkA Mark Brennan
A you read this ihe clearing should have
ZA O started along the railroad right of way.
il.k3lt is the MBTA's intention to clear
from the Scituate line, moving toward Hingham.
However, recently the Massachusetts Department
of Environmental Protection notified the MBTA
that the wetlands in the vicinity of Lincoln Lane are
the habitat of a rare turtle. No construction activities
can take place in these wetlands until after July 1 .
Otherwise the endangered turtles will be jeopar-
dized. So, the clearing will start at Beechwood street
and move toward Scituate up to the turtle habitat.
And from Beechwood. clearing will move toward
the Hingham line.
One of the things you may notice
isthatinsom
of the clearing is much I
than at other places.
One of Ihe things you may notice is that in some
places the width of the clearing is much wider than
at other places. In general, the reason for this is to
enhance safety at the railroad crossings. Since the
trains will not sound their homs when approaching
crossings for the entire Greenbush line, visibility
down the track from each street crossing becomes of
paramount importance. Thus, in the areas adjacent
to crossings, the trees and undergrowth will be
cleared quite a bit wider than in the areas where
there is no crossing.
In face, the MBTA's design standards call for a
cleared swath 70-feet wide at each crossing, taper-
ing down to 30-feet wide 1 .000 feet away from the
crossing in either direction. The MBTA will try to
adhere to this clearing standard whenever possible,
without specifically taking more land. So. even
though the clearing away from the grade crossings
will be about 30-feet wide ( 1 5 feet either side of the
center of the tracks), there will be areas at the cross-
ings where it can be as wide as 70 feet (35 feet either
side of the train tracks).

Taxpayers have tough decisions to make
COMMENTARY
liONORAjENXINS
The Cohasset Concerned Taxpayers want to thank
all of those who participated in their Issues Forum.
Superintendent of Schools Denise Walsh, school
committee chair Jamie Williams, school committee
member Alfred Slanetz and sewer commissioner
Ray Kasperowicz plus all the interested residents
who took the time to come out. ask questions, make
comments and attempted to keep informed on the
issues.
It was an interesting and information packed
evening with topics ranging from the schools to
sewers to town debt.
The school superintendent indicated during the
course of the evening that her department would
require at least a 6.3 percent increase every year in
their budget. The current step and column raises are
2.67 percent of the budget which gives the eligible
teachers an approx. 4.5 percent raise and with new
employees being hired at higher steps and columns.
Mr. Kasperowicz pointed out
Cohasset has the highest per
capita debt of any town in the
i at $11,800.
thus salaries will continue to have the largest impact
on the budget
The figures for the cost of living raises (typically
3 percent) and the $l(KX)/year longevity for employ-
ees from the 1 5th year to retirement are not includ-
ed in the 2.67 percent. Dr. Walsh also stated the cur-
rent budget has no money appropriated for a
teacher's cost of living increase. The school com-
mittee is currently bargaining with the teachers
union lor a new contract. If there is an increase in
teacher compensation it will not be paid for by this
override.
Mr. Kasperowicz pointed out Cohasset has the
highest per capita debt of any town in the area at
$ 1 1 .800. Neighboring tow ns are substantially lower.
HEALTH NOTES
Duxbury ($4,000), Hingham ($2,500). Norwell
($3,236). and Scituate ($2,900). Of town's with sim-
ilar demographics, the only town with a debt above
$4,000 is Weston at $7,900. This information is
based on 2003 DOR data
Understandably there is some concern with the
two upcoming overrides. One is an Operational
Budget Override that will be an immediate, perma-
nent increase to everyone's taxes by over 2 percent
bringing the total tax increase for next year up to
almost 10 percent on every home.
The other one is a Debt Exclusion question which
means that once the debt is paid that amount is gone.
The taxes will not be increased immediately on the
real estate bills with the Debt Exclusion but rather it
will appear as we incur the debt. This Debt
Exclusion amount will not be appearing in the 10
percent tax increase for the next fiscal year which
begins July I .
Residents will have to make some hard decisions
when they step into the ballot box on May21 .

SPECIAL TO THE MARINER
A short time ago. an important document arrived
in the mail of everyone in Cohasset. It wasn't par-
ticularly noticeable, looking like junk mail; and so
most of us just threw it out. saying "ho hum just
another spring gardening scam by someone wanting
to sell fertilizer." Unfortunately this document was a
brief, very readable handbook on how to protect our
pets and loved ones from dangerous debilitating ill-
ness; prevent damage to our environment; and save
countless dollars that would otherwise be spent in
useless home and garden maintenance.
The 2005 Greenscapes Reference Guide is a com-
prehensive 16-page summary with color photos
telling what we need to know about enjoying life in
a natural environment. It tells how to manage your
own lawns and gardens, how and when to fertilize,
when and how much to water, how high to cut grass,
It has a section on designing planting beds, pesticide
alternatives, composting, drainage. It lists low
maintenance plants and tells how and where to use
them.
This document, designed specifically for Ihe
South Shore and its environment, tells how to
increase your property values, save money on water
bills while nurturing a safe environment for your
family, and enjoy more free time by reducing land-
scape maintenance. It has a list of participating

We are the victims of our own ignorance. If we
don't know enough about the world surrounding us
we are exposing ourselves to unknown perils. A
member of the Water Resources Protection
Committee has a word for it: ecoterrorism. In spring
when she looks at a lawn, she sees an entire ecosys-
tem under the grass. There are moles, chipmunks,
worms, ants; a myriad of little insects and little
growing things, quantities of biota, various types of
life underground. All living together in a natural sys-
tem. And then along comes Turfbuilder or some
such. It's spring and agri-industry must be fed. So
out come the ads and the lawn care specialists, and
the green-lawn experts. They know it's time to go
to work.
After all. they know that if you fertilize and add
water, things will turn green. Growing roots that
protect from the heat is another matter. And besides,
in a while the lawn will start to turn brown and they
can call it grubs and saturate the ground with herbi-
cides fungicides, grub killer, etc.; another marketing
opportunity. The ecoterrorists are at work. When
they are through, they leave dead unproductive soil
awaiting cinch bugs, hardy weeds, grubs, etc. Then
they can sell irrigation systems. And in the fall, there
are other opportunities. But more about that later. In
the meantime the chemicals, artificial phosphates,
nitrates and other components for explosives are
leaching into the soil along with all of the poisons
associated with many of the ailments of man such as
autism, asthma, cancer, etc. wrecking a balanced
ecosystem. And we go outside and have parties and
cookouts and play on our lawns, heedless of the car-
nage going on under the grass and the various
threats to our health.

A word of caution for Laura Bush.
Make sure the mike is off before
you start telling those jokes. You
know the ones I mean. The ones rated XXX
by the family values folks who turn out in
droves to support George and his friends.
Remember Hillary Clinton . . . oops,
"Rodham" Clinton The time she put on
those designer clothes and posed for a
fashion layout in Vogue magazine and sold
as many copies as Jackie Kennedy to the
consternation of her friends.
"She didn't prove, as her advocates
insist, that a modern woman can be all
things." pouted one woman in a letter to
the editor. "She proved that after becom-
ing a powerful lawyer and policy maker,
she still needed to be a sex object."
Laura, in a talk at the While House cor-
respondents' dinner, got off a doozy
describing husband George's efforts to
become a Texas rancher after all those
years of book learning at Andover and
Yale, with an occasional detour down to
Morey's.
I repeat the line in a family newspaper
for the simple reason that it is crucial to
this column and in no way intended to
rouse the prurient interests of the reader, if
I have one left after reaching the fifth

that first year when he tried to milk the
horse." she said. "What's worse, it was a
male horse."
It was jokes like that that got me thrown
out of Miss Madden s fifth grade class at
the Thomas A Watson School.
I didn't see her tell the joke in the origi-
nal, which, incidentally, was written by
Landon Parvin. one of Ron Reagan's for-
mer speech writers, but I got a look at the
audience reaction in the reruns.
Democrats laughed uproariously: most
Republicans smiled nervously; those
Republicans who listen to Rush Limbaugh
and read Ann Coulter looked like lobsters
that had just been dropped into boiling
water by Mary Tyler Moore.
But there is a better than even chance
that a good standup routine won't hurt
Laura's standing w ith the American people
after all.
Remember Nancy Reagan was pilloried
for her practice of accepting the loan of
fashionable clothing from American
designers, saying she was just giving a
boost to the nation's fashion industry. Her
advisers convinced her to give them to
museums.
Whereupon, as a parting shot. Nancy
turned up at the annual Gridiron dinner
wearing a garish outfit of prints, a boa and
beads, singing. "Secondhand clothes/To
museum collections and traveling shows."
Critics were charmed.
But no First Lady has ventured so near
to the edge as Laura Bush.
"One night." she said, "after George
went to bed. Lynne Cheney. Condi Rice

Fairoaks puts
selectmen in frying
pan over Cook plans
Want assurances
about open space
By
SAMBROWN0CNC COM
There was Handing room only as resilient* from the
Fairoaks Lane neighborhood turned out in droves for
Tuesday 's selectmen's meeting.
In light of last week's comments made by newly elected
Selectman Gary Vanderweil that the town should consider
allowing the three acres of Cook property located on the
Fairoaks neighborhood side of Sohier Street to be developed
.mil [101 retained as open space, the residents came out to pro-
tect their buffer.
Fairoaks Lane resident Joe Nedrow who is also a member of
the senior housing committee has been very involved with the
process of developing the Cook Estate land.
"One "t the things WC were most cognizant of were abut-
ters." he said, during preliminary discussions on developing
the site. Nedrow explained abutters include homes on Red
Fox Lane and Fairoaks. and the Deer Hill and Osgood
schools.
"This will stir up a whole new
controversy and it's not worth it"
— Joe NedrOW, senior housing committee
Nedrow said he assured his neighbors before the November
2003 Town Meeting, which voted to give the project the go-
ahead, the portion of the estate on the Fairoaks side t behind
the Mobil station) would be kept the way it is.
"You should honor the work that has been done on behalf of
our committee for abutters." Nedrow said. This will stir up
a whole new controversy and it s not worth it."
Selectman Michael Sullivan agreed with Nedrow. "A lot of
effort went into considering the neighbors." he said adding he
has heard tests have indicated at best one or two single-fami-
ly homes could be built on the properly.
Nedrow noted Sohier Street is one of the main entrance
points lor Cohasset "What better w ay to conserv e than on one
of Ihe main roads coming into town." he said.
The town is trying to build much needed senior housing on
the Cook Estate properly. However, soils will not allow
wastewater from the 95 proposed units to be disposed of on
She, as was planned, and a municipal sewer connection is nol
an option. The bidding process has begun again and the town
is in round two of developer selection as a downsized project
will need to be built in order for its wastewater to be accom-
modated on site.
Vanderweil has sent copies of soil tests - performed al the
town's expense on the Cook Estate — to Dan Coughlin of
Tutela Engineering Associates for a review. Vanderweil is a
former sewer commissioner and Tuiela has provided engi-
neering for Ihe lown's sewer projects.
Vanderweil said he had only briefly spoken with Coughlin.
but from his lirsl glance al the tests, said there could be severe
limitations on ihe site, and he was not convinced 60 units
could be built. He ihen suggested ihe soils across the street
undergo testing to see if they could support development
Vanderweil was nol present at this week's meeting, and
therefore the board agreed not to take a vote which would
ensure the Fairoaks side acres will nol be included in the
Request for Proposals, which will be sent out 10 prospective
bidders. The entire board is expected to be in altendance at its
Tuesday. May 1 7 meeting when a vote could take place on the
RFP regarding the Fairoaks side property.
Nedrow said if the option of building on the three acres
comes back on the table. "I can tell you you'll have some
aggressive opposition."

No ground has been broken on
the Cook Estate property off
Sohier Street, but town costs
incurred for the project are
adding up.
Roughly 18 months after
Special Town Meeting gave the
go-ahead to pursue mixed-
income senior housing at the site,
the town has spent $450,000
with the potential to incur more
Boats.
Voters back in November 2003
allocated $4.5 million to pur-
chase roughly 22-acres from the
Ctxik heirs. The town would
then immediately turn around
and sell thai land with the town's
adjacent roughly 8 acres to a
developer for $5,425 million dur-
ing a simultaneous closing.
Northland developers bid
SI 75.000 more than the town's
minimum bid price of $5.25 mil-
lion.
The tow n was slated to receive
a profit of $925,000.
The town hired engineers to
test soils, consultants to help with
the proposals, and attorneys to
protect the town. In addition, the
town put down a refundable
deposit of $200,000 to secure the
deal wiih the Cook heirs.
Director of Finance Michael
Buckley said Northland
Residential, the company that
won the initial bid round last
year, put down a $100,000
deposit, which has been returned.
If the town receives a bid of
$5,425 million for the project
during the second round and no
more money is expended for Ihe
project, the town stands to gain
roughly S666.0M.
Charges associated with the
project date back to August 2003,
three months before Town
Meeting approval. Town funds.
including some reserve fund
transfer money, have paid for
roughly $78,000 worth of work
since then. The other bills have
been paid from $300,000 in
money the town borrowed which
will be repaid from the $5,425
million at the closing.
Thomas Mulheam, who con-
ducted the original appraisal of
the property, cost the town
$4,200.
Soon after. GLC Development
Resources was hired to help the
town help market the Cook prop-
erty to developers.
Bills for GLC have been paid
for out of the regular budget and
with borrowed funds. Roughly
$24,000 was paid from the bud-
get and $ 1 1 5.000 from borrow-
ing. The last bill incurred by the
company was in November 2004
and was paid in January.
The town conducted soil tests
on the Cook land both before and
after the Town Meeting vote.
Engineering firms John
Cavanaro Consulting and Coler
& Colantonio were hired to com-
plete perc tests as well as soil
boring tests. Cavanaro's fees
totaled roughly $14,000 which
were paid from Ihe budget, and
Coler & Colantonio's totaled
around $33,000 — $8,000 of
which was borrowed.
Legal fees are expected to con-
tinue into the future, and between
fees for Deutsch Williams, die
firm which acts as Town
Counsel, and special counsel
Myrna Putziger. $30,000 has
already been earmarked for costs
the town is expected to incur,
which will be paid for with bor-
rowed money. The town has
paid a total of $15,600 for
Putziger's services so far. and
$1 2.700 for Tow n Counsel, all of
which has been paid through bor-
rowed funds except for roughly
$4,000. Selectmen Chairman

The town can expect an addition-
al $1,000 in interest as another
$100,000 will be borrowed with-
in the next couple of weeks to
cover future costs
Until very recently. Ihe town
had been working with
Northland Residential to build
"The Villages al Deer Hill." a
senior housing project which
would have provided 95 units of
mixed affordable and market-
rale senior housing.
However, plans to accommo-
date the project's wastewater on
site failed and sewer was not an
option. Therefore the project had
to be downsized so the waste-
water could be handled on site.
Stale procurement laws require
all bidders have a fair opportuni-
ty to submit plans for projects.
Because the project was substan-
tially downsized, the town is
drawing up another Request for
Proposals thai will be sent out
again to solicit a new round of
bids.
The idea has been floated lor
the town to borrow $4.5 million
to purchase the property from the
Cook heirs, which could buy
some time. The heirs have a
fiduciary responsibility to use the
money for various charities and
obligations, and a closing date
has been set for Sept. 15. 2005.
If the town decides lo purchase
the property Buckley said assum-
ing 3.5 percent interest, it could
cost roughly $13,125 per month.
How Northland's project got the nod over the competition
By Samantha Brown
SAMBROWN9CNC.COM
The Cook Estate project is
going back out to bid. but the
Northland Residential
Corporation which was selected
one year ago is not being ruled
out as the developer to make
senior housing off Sohier Street a
reality.
Over the past 14 months.
Northland — which said it will
participate in the new Request
For Proposals (RFP) process —
has worked with the town to
build 95 units of mixed-income,
senior housing on the Cook
Estate property off Sohier Street.
But without adequate soils for
wastewater disposal on site, the
project has be downsized. Under
state procurement laws , the pro-
ject must go out to bid again.
selectmen said.
As the town embarks on a new
RFP process, it's a good time to
review how Northland was
selected in the first place.
Last year, the town went
through a lengthy process which
scrutinized 75 bid proposals for
the project. The "Request for
Proposals advisory committee"
said one of the most important
aspects of the proposals were
qualifications of the developer
and the development team.
RFP committee members scru-
tinized each proposal using a
point system rating how well
each development met the town's
criteria.
In addition to Northland, Deer
Hill Partners LLC of Braintree
(in association with Coler &
Colantonio. Inc.. Ross Assoc.
Architects, and Stockard. Engler
& Brigham): Cohasset
Residential LLC (c/o Black Rock
Development of Hingham);
Abbott Real Estate Development
LLC of Boston; and Baran-Keen
( Baran Companies of Boston and
Keen Development Corp. of
Cambridge) were under the
microscope.
Out of a possible 100 points.
Northland came in firsi wiih a
total of 83. Blackrock/Northwest
had a total of 77. Abbott Real
Estate had a total of 73. and
Baran-Keen totaled 72.
The selection committee was
impressed with Northland's
years of experience permitting
projects in environmentally sen-
sitive areas; the Cook Estate is
flanked by wetlands. Northland
completed other projects compa-
rable to what il has proposed for
the Cook site, including the
Villages al Brtxiksidc, a senior
housing community in Bourne
that some RFP advisory commit-
tee members visited.
The committee liked the fact
that sile plans look into consider-
ation the target market for the
development, providing ameni-
ties the active. 55-plus crowd
wants. All units have a lirst-floor
masier bedroom, one or two car
garages, and loll spaces. There
would be walking trails along the
perimeter of the entire village,
which could be linked with pre-
sent or future "off-site" trail net-
works. The plans also include a
common garden facility avail-
able for all residents, and Ihe
existing Cook residence will he

The call came in to the
Cohasset Police Department at
9:40 a.m. and Police Chief Jim
Hussey said from what he
understands, a jersey barrier,
which is a large concrete barri-
er used on roads to prevent
vehicle crossover, was being
moved with a backhoe and
somehow released from the
chains which had suspended it
above the ground, and hit the

enough to warrant a trip to the
city.
A MedFlight helicopter was
requested to transport the
patient. In light of a note
found next to a bullet outside
the middle-high school that
morning implying threats, the
school department notified the
parents of every student the
arrival of the helicopter was
not related to the school matter.

school, to transport the patient

events and gatherings.
Floor plans for townhouses
were drafted to come in four
designs. Three feature two bed-
rooms with two and a half baths,
and the fourth has two bedrooms
and two full baths. Square
footage ranges from 1700-1950
square feet of living space.
During a "pre-sale" period,
homes would be offered at a dis-
count and only marketed to
Cohasset residents.
Members of the RFP commit-

Backs to the wall for CHS baseball
Team needs wins
in a hurry to
make the
postseason
By Mark Goodman
MG0ODMAN9CNC.COM
Al 3-8. the task for the
Cohasset baseball team is clear.
If they are to play in (he post-
season, the Skippers will have
to win at least six of their last
seven games.
Il sounds like a daunting task,
but it is not out of the realm of
possibility. Head coach Al
Gallotta hopes his team can split
its two remaining South Shore
League games - yesterday at
Norwell (played after the
Mariner went to press) and the
1 8th at Harwich - and then run
the table in its five remaining
non-league contests.
Those non-leaguers feature a
road trip to South Shore
Christian (a team Cohasset has
already defeated handily this
season), and home-road sets
with Holbrook and Sacred
Heart.
Following yesterday's show-
down with the Clippers,
Cohasset plays four games in as
many days next week: Tuesday
at SS Christian, Wednesday at
Harwich. Thursday at home
with Sacred Heart, and Friday at
Holbrook.
"That's going to be difficult,"
admits Gallotta. "I do think we
can manage it pitching-wise."
Those who figure to get starts
on the mound during that
stretch are Teddie Straughn,
Chris Bryan (who started yes-
terday against Norwell) and
Brian Hill. Bryan and Hill com-
bined efforts last Wednesday to
help give Cohasset perhaps
their best win of the season.
At home against Mashpee. the
Skippers got down early by a 4-
0 score. Bryan started and scuf-
fled early, allowing two runs
each in the second and third
innings. He settled down from
there, however, and posted
zeroes in innings four through
nine. The junior finished with u
solid line of nine innings, si\
hits, four runs and nine K's.
If they are to play
in the postseason,
the Skippers will
least six of their
last seven games.
Hill pitched the top of the
I Oth. allowing a double bui
working himself out of the jam
Stefan Parnell got the game-
winning hit in Ihe bottom Of the
10th to win it for Cohasset.
That gave the Skippers some
momentum heading into the
next day's game with Carver.
Cohasset hung close lor Ihe first
five innings, as Hill kept them
close with some solid pitching.
The visiting Crusaders broke
the game open, however, with a
six-run sixth inning, and
Cohasset finished with a 12-5
loss.
The Skippers would not play
again until this past Tuesday
against Hull. The Pirates feature
a powerful lineup, one that
Gallotta has called the best in
the league from top to bottom.
And although he ltx>k a tough-
luck 2-1 loss in eight innings.
Straughn was magnificent on
the mound for the Skippers.
The senior co-captain went
the distance. giv ing up only four
hits, walking one. and racking
up 13 strikeouts
"It was probably the best
game I've seen him pitch in the
three years I've been coaching
him," Gallotta said. "He was
totally in control from the
beginning of the game."

point.
The team has finished hall

Cohasset will win a tighl game,
gel crushed in the next, and then
resurfaces with a big 'W. The

either on the short end of the bat
or in postseason play.
Lets take the May 3 home

case in point. Head coach Deb

Cohasset rebounded from a

Elizabeth Stone and Susan

in straight sets. The freshman

Meehan was delighted lo see
"It was nice to lake lour

"We've had a lot of 3-2 scores

' The compeiiiion keeps gelling

;X)n Mother's Day. Cohasset
White raised its record to 5-0 by
dominating Duxbury 4. a team
«$mprised entirely of Hth
graders, by a score of 1 1 -4.
..-Cabriclia Flibotte - helping
apl on the White squad because it
Sjas shorthunded - got things off
Jo a quick start in the rain, scoring
Jwice on her first shift. Madeline
£eahy upped the lead to 3-0
fcforc Duxbury broke through.
JCatie Gaumer answered with
*fl/o scores, and Cohasset squan-
dered several opportunities and
{Mowed Duxbury back into the
contest with two goals, so the
game went to the half at 5-3.
But Cohasset answered the
challenge by scoring the first six
goals of the second half. Flibotte
finished a Leahy feed to com-
plete her hat trick, and Hannah
Burgess: sandwiched a pair of
goals around a hat trick from
Isabelle Franklin, as Cohasset
blew the game open.
Kate O'C'allaghan had her
best game of the year in leading
the defense with Lauren Blaze,
Lesen Haracz and Paige
Smith. Thomson Jafle made two
saves in the net.
The Cohasset Blue 15-U team
kept pace with its sister, raising
its record to 5-0 by dumping
Scituate 12-6. Gabriella Flibotte
again opened the game with two
scores on her first shift, answer-
ing Scituate 's game-opening
score. Kalcy Madge. Katelyn
Ryan and Maura Barnes
scored in quick succession,
before a short. Scituate rally.
Lindsay Allard worked a beauti-
ful feed to Flibotte. to stretch the
lead to 6-4. and Flibotte netted
her fourth of the day to close out
first-hall scoring.
From there. Cohasset cruised,
with Caitlin Mahoney scoring

twice. Barnes adding a second
goal and Flibotte finishing anoth-
er slick feed from Allard. Flibotte
added a sixth goal on the day for
good measure.
Grace Clougherty made her
first appearance of the season in
the goal for Cohasset and
stopped five shots. Mimi
Mahoney. Natalie Hunt, Liz
Tetrault and Megan
Richardson anchored a defense
that kept Scituate at bay most of
the afternoon.
At the 13-U level (grades 5/6).
Mother's Day was not quite as
successful.
The Cohasset White 1 3-U team
opened the day against
Pembroke and might have gotten
blown out had it not been for out-
standing goallending from
Stephanie Brierly and Molly
McKlgunn. who combined to
make 10 saves on the day.
Lindsay MacNaught and
Whitney Jaffe scored
Cohasset's two goals in the first
hall, but the home team trailed by
5 at the halftime break.
Pembroke stretched the lead to
10-2. when the sluggish Cohasset
offense suddenly came alive.
Jaffe sandwiched two goals
around an Anna Michalowski
direct-free position, and the
count stood at 10-5 with eight
minutes remaining. A Jessica
Fusco goal made things interest-
ing, before Eliza Kinnealey
scored her first of the season, fol-
lowed almost immediately by a
Fusc(vto-Paige DeSLsto connec-
tion for another goal.
After clanging a shot off the
post, Cohasset finally lost pos-
session and ran out of gas.
Pembroke added a late goal as
Cohasset's defense stretched in a
desperate attempt to catch up.
The final score was Pembroke
1 1. Cohasset 8.
The Cohasset Blue 13-U team
got off to a good start against
their Scituate opponent, with
Whitney Jafle and Hope Kissick
scoring first. From there. Scituatc
went on a three-goal run. which
was slopped when Lindsay
MacNaught drove from behind
the net to finish a strong one-on-
one effort.
MacNaught's second goal of
the game gave Cohasset the lead,
but it was short-lived, and the last
time the team would be in charge
all day. Three quick Scituate
scores put Cohasset in a hole, and
while Christina Healy closed
the gap with a low. hard bounce
shot. Scituate was able to sneak
one more goal in to close the
game out with a 7-5 win.
Molly McElgunn stopped five
Scituate shots between the pipes
for Cohasset.
Hie Blue 13-U squad earned
some redemption on Monday.
May 9. playing its best game of
the season against a fundamen-
tally sound Hull team.
Christina Healy. Olivia
Murphy and Kaci Kucinskigot
Cohasset off to a quick start,
before Hull broke through.
Danielle Healy answered the
Hull goal and Murphy and
Whitney Jaffe scored to stretch
the lead to 6- 1 at the half.
The two teams traded goals
throughout the second half, with
Murphy finishing a hat tnck. and
Jarfe and Lindsay MacNaught
scoring single markers.
Stephanie Brierly and Molly
McElgunn each made two saves
in a half of work, and the defense
of Ellie Tedeschi. Cally
Althollz, Dy burnt Axelson.
Taylor Kennedy and Eliza
Kinnealey made Hull work hard
for each of its scoring chances.
The win raised the Blue team's
record to 4-2. The Cohasset
White 1 3-U team is 4- 1 - 1 on the
season.
Boys mostly washed out on
Mother's Day; split vs. Scituate
Cohasset's youth boys players
mostly got to spent the weekend
with their Moms, as Marshfield
wiped out a slate of four games
against Cohasset due to poor
field conditions.
But at Milliken Field in
Cohasset. the 13-U (grades 5/6)
Blue team slugged out a hard-
fought 1 2-9 win over a previous-
ly undefeated Scituate team.
Cohasset jumped out lo a 3-0
lead, but saw Scituate come back
to tie it at after the first quarter at
3-3. It was 5-3 at the half, and 9-
6 at the end of 3 quarters.
In goal. Chase Murphy and
Thomas Flibotte played great in
stopping a very big and physical
Scituate squad. The goalies
keyed several fast breaks by
coming out of the cage and
avoiding pursuers to turn
Scituate scoring attempts into
Cohasset opportunities.
Alec Hurd started the scoring,
first finishing a feed from
Christian Allard. then netting
an unassisted goal. Morgan
Grasz again played well both
ways and had a goal and an
assist. Jack Carrier scored in
the first half on a nice cross-field
pass from Gus Helbock. and
Flibotte scored his 1 0th goal of
the season to end the first half.
The second hall saw four goals
by Allard. and one each from by
Charlie Neaves, Sam
Richardson and Jake Durkin
Terrance Durkin and Alex
Kinnealey. who saw action both
at midfield and defense did an
outstanding job helping to fill the
team's needs at both positions,
and Andrew Whitney returned
to the field lo play exceptionally
well at middie.
The 15-U (grades 7/8) Blue
team didn't fare quite as well
against a quality Scituate squad,
falling behind 4-2 by the end of
the first hall. The Blue players
fought hard on an uncharacteris-
tically cold day. but couldn't
must any scores in the second
hall and wound up on the short
end of a 6-2 final.
Andrew Smith and Dean
Driscoll potted Cohasset's only
goals in a day which saw a lot of
gcxxl looks, but not many good
bounces.
The Cohasset White and Silver
teams w ill try to make up the losi
games against Marshfield. and
the Blue 15-U team has added
two games to its schedule for the
coming weekend, to give it
ample opportunity to bounce-
back.

Squirt C-2
The Coastal Stars Squirt C-2
played their final game last
week, the Yankee Conference
Squirt Championship.
Although they lost the game to
Weymouth 3-2. it was a season
to remember. The Coastal
Slars C-2 learn was the
2004/2005 Squirt North
Division Champions in the
Yankee Conference and run-
ner up in the Championship.
The game was mostly domi-
nated by Weymouth. With the
score 3-0 and with 2 minutes
left in the game, the Coastal
Stars showed (he fortitude thai
gave them a Season record of
24-5-2. They scored 2 goals
within 20 seconds and played
lough after pulling their
goalie. Alec Hurd. However,
the outcome was a seldom
seen loss.
The Squirt C-2 learn is to be
commended for a phenomenal
season, never losing 2 games
in 8 row and never giving up.
even when it was easy to do.
The coaching by Charlie
Mulrey. Mike Timcoe, John
Kuppcns and Dave Demon
was ihe big reason for the
year's success. Thank you
coaches for your lime, inspira-
tion and a job well done.

real improvement.*1
"We hammered out sonu
great hits. We just couldn't
string them together to pro-
duce runs." remarked!
Bostwick. That's the differ-!
ence between an experienced,!
first place team like Abinglonl
and a third-year varsity squad|
like ourselves."
Lack of experience failed get|
in the way of the Skippers
when they bussed two days
later into Carver Crusader ter-
ritory. Jusi when you thought!
they hit the canvas for the long)
count, the Lady Skippers
boomeranged back.
Pinkus started Cohasset off!
with a bang. She drove in two]
runs on her triple to right field [
Spofford then sacrificed an)
out to score Pinkus. This play!
led to the Skippers opening an|
early 3-0 lead.
The Crusaders struck back ml
the bottom of the first with]
two runs of their own. Thel
Skippers retaliated in the topi
of the second with four. Three]
of these four runs came from a|
Pinkus double. Laural
Campedelli, Anna Haggeny.
and Katie James all con-
tributed to this offensivel
attack.
Aside from some strategic!
Carver base running (resulting!
in two more runs), thel
Skippers controlled this!
matchup. The outcome: a 7-5|
Cohasset victory.
This time, the defense held!
its own as well. Pinkus. along!
with her 5 RBIs. pitched sixj
solid innings. Haggerty. Casey I
Anderson. James. Spofford. I
and Liddell held together the|
infield. C.C. Chapman.
Crowley-Buck. and Alida|
Tanglerini controlled the out-
field with intensity absent in!
the earlier game against |
Abington.
Haggerty played her first
game at the catcher position.
"It's very different from
playing in ihe field." she said.
"Ii will take time lo learn, bui
1 like the intensity."
Haggerty will lake
Anderson's spot behind the
plate nexi year, as Anderson
graduates this June.
"I was so proud of my team
for finally coming together
both offensively and defen-
sively." said Bostwick. This
is a very good sign."

Backs to the wall for CHS baseball
FROM BASEBALL, PAGE IS
The Skippers scratched out a run
on two hits in the top of the fourth,
and the game remained l-l until the
•bottom of the eighth. With one out
and a runner on first, Hull's nine-
hole batter dropped down a bunt to
sacrifice the runner to second. The
throw to first went into right field,
however, and Hull's runner on first
never once broke stride and scored
the game-winning run.
It was the latest in a number of
dose losses for Cohasset this sea-
son. The team has come up on the
short end of two one-run games,
one two-run game, and was tied
wjth Norwell going into the seventh
two weeks ago (before losing. 16-
13).
Just like any other coach or ath-
lete. Gallotta does not like to lose,
but has found some silver lining in
those losses.
"We have been a lot more com-
petitive this season than we have
been in the last two years." said the
coach. "I think I can safely say we
have arrived at the point where we
can compete with any learn in the
league."
For the Skippers, it now is a mat-
ter of parlaying that competitive-
ness into positive results on the
scoreboard.
"I do feel that they believe they
can win on any given day." Gallotta
said of his players. "Now. the next
step is to get a couple breaks and
win a couple of these games."
In terms of qualifying for the state
tournament, Cohasset found them-
selves in a similar situation last year.
The team was 4-9 heading into its
last five games, again all non-lea-
guers. Cohasset won the first three,
but a loss in the second-to-last game
of the year against Sacred Heart
ended their postseason hopes.
Will this year be different? We'll
have the final answer in a couple
Depth carrying the way for girls tennis

•"She really showed me a lot in her
first varsity singles match."
The Carver match represents one
of Cohasset's major trends this year
different girls contributing in every
match. In addition to those already
mentioned, the likes of Remy Lee.
Emilie Shea and Elizabeth Landon
have gotten their share of court time
over the course of the season.
Landon teamed with Garber to
.win a critical second doubles match
Two weeks ago against Ursuline.
The Dedham-based private school
has given the Skippers tits the last
two years, handing them their only
regular season loss last season and
their first loss this year.
In the April 29 rematch at
Ursuline. Stone and Curry put two
quick points on the board for
Cohasset with Curry winning 7-5,
6-1.
"She played out of her mind in
that match." Meehan said of Curry.
"That was a really great win for
her."
After Sally Meehan lost a tough
match at third singles. Cohasset
needed one more point from one of
their doubles teams. Both
Anderson/Shea and Garber/Landon
lost their first set but came in the
second to force a third and deciding
set.
The match was getting close to
being called due to darkness, with
Garber and Landon down in that
third set 2-4. Coach Meehan urged
her second doubles team to put it
away, and they did so in grand fash-
ion, taking 16 of the next 20 points
to win the third set 6-4. Landon
was ripping off backhand winners
left and right with Garber mixing
aggressive shots and some lobs.
Meehan was happy to get the
hard-earned win.
"I think Ursuline is a pretty com-
parable team to ours," she said. "It
was a really nice match. Playing
teams like them only makes us bet-
ter."
After yesterday's match with
Norwell. Cohasset travels to take on
Falmouth this afternoon at 4:30.
State indi\iduaLs tournament
The Cohasset girls tennis team
will be sending seven athletes to this
weekend's state indiv iduals tourna-
ment in Hingham.
Stone, Curry and Lee will partici-
pate in singles, with the doubles
teams of Anderson/Meehan and
Garber/Shea.
Stone has advanced to the sec-
tional final of the tournament the
last two years, and figures to be one
of the favonies to win it this season.
Should she and other Skippers win
a few matches this weekend, the
competition continues next week-
end.
10 girls qualified for state track meet
Although they have lost a couple
close meets in the last week, the
Cohasset girls track team has had 10
athletes so far qualify for the state
Class D meet in Weston on May 28.
And that's on a team of just 1 5 ath-
letes.
• "Nicole Whitney and Corinna
- Ourhuni qualified dunng the
Mashpee meet earlier this week.
Whiinev won the 200m and quali-
fied with a time of 27.7, while
1 Ximam did the same in the 301 Hiur-
dles with a 50.4 time.
The 4x400 relay team also quali-
fied, a team that includes Sara

' Against Abington. Whitney quali-
fied in the 800m with a time of 2:29.
Lindsay Kennedy did so in two
events: the 100m dash (11.5 sec-
onds) and 200m (27.9).
Other notable performers on the
girls team of late have been Alyssa
Hinman (two-mile, 1406). Flossie
Clougheity (javelin, 95' ), Jen Daley
and Mercedes Barnes- Jackson (hur-
dles), and Aileen Fortunate (shot
put).
Although the boys have struggled
in their last two team meets, they did
get some quality performances.
Against Mashpee. Brent Daly won
the 200m and finished in the top
three in the 1 00m. triple jump and
long jump. Justin Alexander won the
shot put against both Mashpee and
Abington. with Paul St. Pierre win-
nign the discus agaiast Mashpee.
Cohasset finished one-two in the
discus against Abington. thanks to
strong throws by Miguel de Los
Santos ( 1 13') and Anthony DiPaolo
(99-9). Other boys who have turned
in solid performances include Adam
Harac? (800m. two-mile). Mike
Devlin (two-mile). Reed Wendorf-

Harrison high
razzle-dazzl
of 'Chicago'
roadway production plays
Wang Theatre next week
The hit 2002 movie version of the Broadway musical
"Chicago" cfid mote than just sell a kx of popcorn, it also
renewed interest in the stage productions of the Bob Fosse, John
Kander and Fred Ebb Tony Award- winner.
"Shortly after the film opened, another national tour was sent
out," explains Gregory Harrison who plays slick lawyer Billy
' Flynn in the "Chicago" road company that stops at Boston's
Wang Theatre next week.
'There's a whole new audience
for the show thanks to the
movie, and at least one third
of that audience is under 25. This
is definitely a direct result of the
middle-American appeal of
'Chicago' and
best-known for
ion television in
"Trapper John,
"Falcon Crest" and
40 movies-of-the-
I that even without
Catherine
i and Richard Gere, the — ™—
Walter Bobbie-directed touring production, with choreography
by Ann Ranking, has more razzle-dazzle than its celluloid coun-
terpart Theater is just more magical. In this show, there is no
fourth wall. The orchestra is on-stage and the audience is part of
the show. The stage production is just better, sexier and funnier.
And. 1 liked the movie very much."
Harrison is also fond of his character, the sartorially splen-
did defense attorney who turns two murderesses, Velma Kelly
and Roxie Hart into media celebrities. "Billy is endearingly
manipulative and unapologetic. He's got a dirty job, but he does
it well. He's manipulating people, of course, but he is still always
nice to them which is something the audience appreciates."
What makes Harrison, 54. grateful is the chance to continue an
acting career now in its fourth decade. "I can't imagine leaving
show business. It wouldn't make sense for me not to be creative,''
says the California native and longtime surfer who now lives on
the Oregon coast with his wife, actress Randi Oakes, and their
four children. "It is hard to be away from my family, but it is just
part of the dilemma of my blessing of being an employed actor."
"Chicago" will be at the Wang Theatre. 270 Tremont Street
Boston, May 1 7-22. For tickets and information, call I -800-447-
7400 or visit www.wangcenter.org.

THE ABSENCE OF ONE SENSE
SHARPENS THE OTHER
People have often conjectured as gradual and painless, developing
to whether blind musicians, such
as Ray Charles, have a height-
ened sense of hearing. This spec-
ulation is based on the idea that
the absence of the sense of sighi
serves to sharpen the sense of
hearing. To find oul the science
behind this notion. Canadian
researchers compared Ihe hearing
perception of people who lost
their sight by age 2. individuals
who went blind between the ages
of 5 and 45. and people with nor-
mal vision. They found that peo-
ple who lost their vision early
outperformed those who lost
their sight later, even when the
speed of tones they listened lo
was increased by a factor of ten.
It is also important to remember
thai hearing loss is a physical
health problem, not a mental
health problem Mosl often it is
so slowly thai is barely notice-
able. Arc you or someone you
love exhibiting the signs of anxi-
ety and isolation thai sometimes
accompany a hearing impair-
ment' Put your mind at ease and
have a comprehensive hearing
evaluation by a Board Certified
Hearing Instrument Specialist at
FAMILY HEARING CARE
CENTER, We're located at 534
Main Street (Rt. 18). across from
the Stetson Bldg in Weymouth.
We also have an office in
Abington. PH: 781-337-1144.
P.S. The study mentioned above
also showed that people who lose
their sight early in life are also
adept at distinguishing between
tones when they arc cither loo
close together in pilch or in suc-
cession.

Par for the course
Georgia golf resort lives up to Ritz-Carlton standards
Goners took over the Great Water s
By FRAN GOLDEN
LAKE OCONEE. Ga. a-
We had reached the
fifth hole of the sun-
drenched National course on
our first day of golf at
Reynolds Plantation, which
boasts five top-notch courses,
when my playing partner. Jim.
informed me that a stress-
related knot in his upper back
had disappeared.
1 was surprised it took so long.
Any tension I'd carried into
Georgia lifted the moment I
entered this warm and welcom-
ing place a: the elegant Ritz-
Carlton Lodge. Reynolds
Plantation on the edge of Lake
Oconee, about an hour-and-15-
minute drive east of Atlanta.
In the early IWXK. the planta-
tion was a hunting and fishing
retreat for the Reynolds family,
which still owns the property.
Inventor Mercer Reynolds Sr.
dubbed his lodge "Linger
Longer." reflecting the family 's
desire to linger just a little longer
when it was time to leave the
tranquil setting.
Tall pines, oaks and flowering
dogwtxxls shelter this secluded
peninsula where today the activ-
ities are plentiful but unwinding
is the only priority. The stately
25 1 -room lodge, w ith its grand
lawn sloping down to the lake,
looks and feels a world away
(about 890 miles to be exact!
from Boston's grande dame of
hotels on the bustling comer of
Arlington and Newbury streets,
or its younger, trendier Ritz-
Carlton sister across the Boston
Common.
The inimitable Ritz service is
the one similarity.
"We're a very different Ritz-
Carlton." said Marketing
Director Tim Pierson. "People
come here to decompress." he
said. "It can be golf, the spa.
reading a book."
We came here to golf. Day
one started early, cool and windy
at the Great Waters course, a
Jack Nicklaus-designed beauty
where nine holes run along Lake
Oconee. We were paired up with
Jeff and Paul, a couple of West
Coasters who explained they
planned to play from the tips, or
the rear tees, at a lengthy 7,048
yards.
You have to be a good player
to handle this course from that
distance (that fact the day started
windy didn't help) and these
guys were putting on a show,
with long drives, chips that set-
tled within a foot or two from
the hole and putts drained from
25 feet. The beauty, or in some

cases the agony, of the course is feeling great, his worries left far
playing so many holes along
the banks of Lake Oconee. That
includes the 14th hole, a 152-
yard par 3 a' 178 yards from
where Jeff and Paul were hit-
ting it a' with water on the right
and a tee shot over a cove and
onto a green that juis into the
lake.
The course moves uphill and
inland, then turns lakeward
again, offering spectacular
views of the waterfront homes
that are a hallmark of this grow-
ing area. Golf & Travel
magazine ranked Great Waters
among its top 40 courses for
real estate.
In the afternoon we shuttled
over to the 27-hole National
course, with its three sweetly
named nines. Ridge. Bluff and
Cove. This was instantly a
favorite.
The Tom Fazio-designed
National is reminiscent of New
England golfing at its best.

Maine, or Red Tail in Devons.
but even better. Elevated tee
boxes look out onto rolling
emerald fairways that carve
through tall pines and oaks,
then climb back up to elevated
greens.
It was at No. 5 where Jim
behind. He then promptly snap-
hooked his drive into the
woods.
After dinner one night. Jim
and I strolled down to the 18th
green to look out at the lake and
up at the stars. Were the moon
full, we could have done a little
night putting.
We played The Oconee on
our last day. a wonderful way to
wind up. I defy anyone to find
me a prettier group of finishing
holes than the 16th. 17th and
1 8th at Oconee, where designer
Rees Jones' features include
streams, waterfalls and a signa-
ture wooden bridge that runs
over an inlet connecting the
1 8th lee box to the fairway. It's
a finish to remember.
New England golfers don't
often think about Reynolds
Plantation when they consider a
trip south. They should.
Rales at The Ritz-Carlton
l.odge. Reynolds Plantation are
seasonal, starting from % 1 80 per
night for standard rooms (from
S350 during high season. mid-
March to mid-November);
from $375 for cottages ($850 in
high season). For reservations,

Two questions

By Mary Ford

Saturday's ballot features only
IWO questions, both of which if
answered in the affirmative will
raise taxes more than what is
already allowed under Prop. 2-
1/2, the state law that caps the
amount a municipality can
increase its tax levy from year lo
year.
Bui whether voters will be in a
"yes/yes." "yes/no," "no/yes."
or "no/no" mood remains to be
seen.
Question One asks volets
whether to allow the town lo
raise an additional $400,000 in a
general override, which means
the tax increase would become a
permanent part of the lax base
going forward
Question Pro asks voters

It's business as usual for
Cohasset Middle-High School
students - almost. While classes
arc in sessK m and MCAS testing is
carry ing on. ihe presence of police
on campus is a reminder of the
threats launched against the sch< » >l
community jufl over one week
ago.
Wednesdaj t May 1 1 1 just
before 6 a. in .. a member of the
school t.icullv was opening the
building for ihe day and found a
note outside implying threats
along with a bullet. Students were
ev acuated from the building and a
thorough investigation was
launched*.
Police ( liief James Hussey said
the note and bullet have been sent
oil lor forensic analysis lo try to
determine who is responsible.
There lias been a print lifted off
die letlei Hie next step is lo
determine u hi > n belongs to." said
Hussey
Hussey said the department is in
Ihe process of trying lo match the
bullet with firearms registered in
the town of Cohasset as well as
surrounding towns lo see if that
will provide any leads.
"Right now. we don't have a
suspect." he said, adding any
assistance from the public in the
investigation will be helpful.
The police department has set
up a tip line to help in Ihe investi-
gation and Hussey said so fitf the
department has received a few
calls. "But thev don't give us any
hard evidence." He said many of
die callers have provided infor-
mation based on rumors thev
have heard, which is good to
know, but does not provide the
facts.
Students were ev acuated lor the
day May 1 1 . but school w as back

said there has been a continual

School Committee Jamie
Williams hopes voters will vote
yes on Question One to support
the school system.
"The superintendent and the
school committee ha\e already
made cuts and appropriations lo
eliminate a S5<X).(KX) deficit in
the cuiTent budget leaving the
sehixils with a level of service
that is less than in previous
years." Williams said. "A yes
vote will maintain services only
at this reduced level.
"As we move forward, we will
continue lo light for our chil-
dren's education with improved
efficiencies in operations ami
increased sources of revenue.
Our goal is lo balance an excel-
lent education for all our Children
with the limitation of diminish-
ing resources, uncontrollable and
increasing budget demands and
increasing enrollment."
Griffin said if the $400,000
override question fails, a special
Town Meeting will be needed
prior to setting the tax rate and to
adjust the budget back into
balance.
The budget was adopted at tie
April 2 Town Meeting with fie
override funds added in. \th
S360.(KK) placed directly in the
school budget and $40,000 bring
placed in the building maiite

Griffin noted the general gov
emment side of the budget ha.

power reductions in the police,

Cedarmere to break ground in July
New owners
visit selectmen
By Samantha Brown
SAMBROWN»CNC.C0M
With roughly two years of
preparation and planning behind
it, Cedarmere is forging ahead to
the development stage.
Groundbreaking is slated for
July.
Representatives from Leggat
McCall Properties, which pur-
chased the fully permitted prop-
erty from Cohasset residents
David and Kelli Calhoun and
their business partner Tom
Ragno for $17 million in April,
introduced themselves to select-
men Tuesday.
"We just wanted to say hi and
let you know we're excited about
working with you and with the
town to make this project a reali-
ty." said Senior Vice President
for Leggat McCall Properties
Bill Gause.
The project is fully permitted
under the town's Senior Multi-
family Overlay Residence
District bylaw. Gause said there
will be no changes made to what
has been approved, including
tiling the affordable units for the
project with the Department of
t wanted to say hi and let you know
we're excited about working with you and
with the town to make this project a reality."
— Bill Gause, Leggat McCall Properties
Housing and Community
Development as a Local
Initiative Program project. LIP is
the mechanism by which afford-
able units "count" with the stale
toward a town's affordable hous-
ing stock.
Prior to Leggat McCall's pur-
chasing the property, a LIP appli-
cation, signed by the board of
selectmen, was sent to the
DHCD. but came back with
some questions. A subsequent
application has been filed and
Town Manager Bill Griffin said
from what he understands, any
questions left are minor and
should be easily remedied so all
the affordable units should count.
While Gause is excited about
the development opportunity, its
location in Cohasset is special to
him on a personal level. Gause 's
grandfather. Dan Cotton, is a
King Street resident, who served
on the planning board for many
years. In addition, Gause's
mother grew up in Cohasset.
"I saw the opportunity come up
and I know what a wonderful
town it is," said Gause. adding he
looks forward to bringing the
development to fruition.
Plans for the site include build-
ing 105 units on 4 1 -acres off
Beechwood Street, of which 27
will be Ibr-sale. one- and two-
bedroom affordable condomini-
ums, located in one building with
four, for-sale market rate 006-
and two-bedroom condomini-
ums. The rest of the project will
be a combination of for-sale mar-
ket rale townhouscs and condo-
miniums.
Gause said there w ill be a lot of
site work to be done before con-
struction begins, and he estimat-
ed the first units would be ready
for occupants in ihe spring of
2006.
The project will be buili in
phases, beginning with the single
and double units, said Gause.
adding they will be built in rela-
tion lo iheir demand. When all
ihe first phase units are spoken
for, construction will begin on
the units in the Manor House,
which will be centrally located
on the site, followed by the
affordable units in anolher build-
ing closer lo Roule 3A.

Selectmen not stuck on combined sticker
Town may return
to two next year
SAMBROWNGCNCC0M
While residents will purchase
one sticker for both the beach and
Recycling Transfer Facility this
summer, two suckers — one for
the beach and one for the RTF as
has been done in the past — is on
the table for next year.
This year's combined slickers to
park at Sandy Beach and
Government Island and lo get into
the RTF have already been prim-
ed. Therefore, Director of
Finance Michael Buckley sug-
gested sucking with the single-
sticker this season to avoid the
additional printing cost of new
slickers and address ihe issue of
issuing two stickers next year.
Selectmen agreed and approved
maintaining the fee of $30 per
slicker and reducing ihe rate for
senior citizens from SI 5 to SI0
per sticker.
Historically, Buckley said the
town has tried lo pay SO percent of
the RTF expenses through sticker
for every $1 reduction in price for the senior
citizen stickers the town loses $1,000
annually, and for every $1 reduction in regular
sticker prices the town loses $2,700.
and buck-a-bag revenue and SO
percent from the tax levy.
Cohassel has a pay-as-you-thmv.
program al the RTF where resi-
dents pay SI for a 30-aaflon bag
or 50 cents for a 15-gallon bag to
dispose of household trash.
"Until we convened to die pa)
as you throw, buck a bag program,
we had been charging up to SKX)
for two stickers to the RTF and S7
for each beach sticker. Since then,
we have been trying to reduce ihe
rale charged for Ihe stickers and
did in fact reduce the rale every
year except for 2004.
"The thinking was that the bag
revenue should generate the 50
percent target and eventually the
sticker fee would be reduced to a
nominal sum. Lad year, the deci-
sion was made lo not reduce the
fee because of ihe town's budget
situation.'' Buckley wnwe in a
memo to Town Manager Bill
Griffin.
Buckley explained during the
meeting that for every SI reduc-
tion in price for the senior citizen
stickers, ihe town loses SI. 000
annually, and for every SI reduc-
tion in regular slicker prices, the
town loses S2.70O. which must be
recovered.
During the discussion, select-
men said they thoughl il made
more sense lo have separate stick
ers as some residents thai frequent
the RTF may nol use the beach, I u
vice v ersa
"I like having two slickers." said
Selectman Gary Vmderweil I
don't think the bags should sup-
port Ihe beach." he added. He
said he has heard many com-
plaints from residents wIhi sav
ihev use- 1 >ne. but not the i (her, anil
many of Ihe complaints are from
seniors who s.iv lliey rarely, if
ever, use the hcach.
Selectmen Chairman I red Koed
said lie has received complaints
too. as fishermen who purchase
the slickers io enable them to park
their cars on Government Maud
while Ihev work .ire then allowed
fa use Ihe RTF as well with the
combined stickers
"But it's a pain in ihe neck Ett
have two stickers on your car."
sjid Selectman Michael Sullivan,
who was in favOI Of keepine the
onc-siicker system
Selectman Koh Spollord point-
ed out il is too late in the season io
change their minds anyway,
"Lei's approve il. People are
pining for their stickers." which
have already been printed up in
combination. Tlk- hoard agreed
and Buckley said he will work
with Griffin on potentially otter-
ing two slickers next vear.

Our World museum says Aloha to ukulele lessons
By Samantha Brown
SAMBHOWN^C nc.com
. The sweei sounds of the
ukulele have long been associ-
j ated with the Hawaiian islands
. and a few chords can conjure
! up images of grass skirts and
! coconuts. But for music
teacher Jim Armstrong, another
picture comes to mind. He
knows the small instrument
looks perfect in the hands of
! preschoolers, who see it as a
| pint-sized guitar great for rock-
ing out.
This June, children ages four
through six will have the
opportunity to take part in four
weeks of small-group ukulele
lessons at the Our World
Children's Global Discovery
j Museum. Armstrong and the
museum are partnering together
for the classes, which will teach
children not only how to play
|( the instrument, but how to
work together to combine their
sounds as a band. At the con-
clusion of the class, students
' will hold their own concert.
complete with singing into
( microphones and signing auto-
- graphs.
"The ukulele is just perfect
1 for little kids," said Armstrong,
i adding it is a simple instrument
i to learn because there are only
four strings and children are
able to play one finger chords.
In fact, he said at the end of
their first lesson, children will
know enough to be able to sing
and play a song on their own.
which is a real confidence
booster
During the four weeks.
Armstrong said the youngsters
will learn two traditional
American folk songs and two
international songs — "Frere
Jacques" and of course, the tra-
ditional Hawaiian song, "Aloha
oe." Because preschool-age
children have limited reading
abilities, they will be taught to
play music that is repetitive and
familiar, which won't require
much reading of sheet music,
he said.
Children who take the course
will be asked to purchase a
ukulele of their own from
Armstrong. The ukuleles come
with a nylon ukulele case,
strap, tuner, picks, and a three-
ring binder that holds all the
songs and teaching materials
they will need for the class.
Armstrong said at the first les-
son the instruments will be
wrapped in paper and given to
the children by their parents.
Getting parents involved is "a
very important part of the pro-
gram." he said.
In fact, the idea to bring group
lessons to the museum came
from a Cohasset parent. Logan
Bernstein, who is on the Our
World Board of Directors had
signed her 5-year-old daughter
Delaney up for private ukulele
lessons with Armstrong. While
Armstrong said Delaney was
very excited to see him every
week, her mother reported she
wasn't as interested in practic-
ing during the week.
Like most children. Delaney
said she would be happy to play
the ukulele if her friends could
play too. which is when ihe

deemed "boring" by Armstrong
and his siblings.
"We wanted to rock right
away." he said, and sight read-
ing while playing a recorder
was not what they had in mind.
However, the family was given
permission to play with the
ukulele until their grandfather
came back to retrieve it and
Armstrong was hooked.
The ukulele provided a won-
derful stepping stone for
Armstrong, who one year later
began playing the guitar. He
said making the transition Irom
four to six strings was natural
with the ukulele experience
under his belt. "It's like going
from a tricycle to a bicycle." he
said.
Armstrong said he hopes (be
lessons at the museum will be
well attended and that they can
continue for eight weeks in the
fall once school starts up again.
He said his goal with these first
four weeks of introductory
classes is to spark an interest in
music that will hopefully carry
on for a lifetime.
"It means a lot to me to be
able to pass this on to a bunch ol
kids." said Armstrong.

Our World museum on Sohier Street.
light bulb went off in
Armstrong's head. He asked
Bernstein if she thought other
parents would be interested in
signing their children up for
group lessons, which would not
only expose a larger number ol
children to music at a young
age. but would provide an
opportunity for the children to
have fun forming friendships in
the class together over music.
"Then, the kids could go
home and practice in the neigh-
borhood" and share what they
have learned. Armstrong said.
Being on the Board of
Directors, Bernstein suggested
the classes be tied to the muse-
um. She called Program
Coordinator Michele Dupuis-
Bolduc at the museum to plant
the seed, and Dupuis-Bolduc
said she thought it was a great
idea from the start. The idea
was formed in April, and it has
taken some coordination to
make the program possible.
Now the museum looks forward
to being able to host the new
program next month.
Dupuis-Bolduc said the muse-
um has the perfect space to hold
the lessons — the Brooks
Thomsen Singer Performing
Arts Center. Singer, of
Marshfield. was an avid guitar
player who passed away in
August 2003 al just 16 years
old. The rixim was dedicated in
his memory in October 2004.
Dupuis-Bolduc said she has
spoken with Singer's father
about the program who said he
"is delighted this is happening."
"It's nice to be doing some-
thing like this for the kids, but
in his memory as well." she-
said.
From his own experience.
Armstrong knows being
exposed to music at a young age
can spark a lifelong interest. He
said his grandfather was a pro-
fessional musician and intro-
duced him. as well as his sib-
lings, to music when they were
very small.
Armstrong began playing the
ukulele when he was 8 years
old. and jokes his first introduc-
tion to the instrument was when
his grandfather "conveniently"
left a ukulele and instruction
book at his house after lessons
and other instruments were
Earth-friendly exhibit to open
The Our World Children's
Global Discovery Museum has
purchased the former traveling
World Wildlife Fund exhibit
"Biodiversity 911: Saving Life
on Earth." which will be on dis-
play in lime for the museum's
grand opening celebration ihis
October.
Program Coordinator
Michele Dupuis-Bolduc antici-
pates the exhibil will arrive in
pieces al the end of this month,
and will gradually be put
together for the display, which
will be showcased in the upper
level of the museum.
The exhibil. which has trav-
eled around the US for the past
three years, takes visitors on a
journey through forests, coral
reels, soil, and much more. The
centerpiece of the exhibit is the
Biodiversity Theater which lea-
lures a film produced by
Aardman. the Academy Aw ard
w inning creators of the Wallace
and Gromit characters as well
as the film. "Chicken Run."
There are also interactive
areas which provide eompuiei
simulations, larger-than-life
models, video clips, and hands-
on games.
Dupuis-Bolduc said ihe
exhibil is valued al 11.25 mil-
lion, bul Ihe museum w as able
lo purchase it for $40,000.
In October, the Our World
Global Discovery Museum
opened its doors for business
every Wednesday. Since then,
operation has expanded in
Thursdays, and both days the
museum is open from 10 am
10 5 p.m.
"We've had lots of kids, li s
been great." said Dupuis-
Bolduc. adding ihe museum
averages 40 children every day
11 is open. "We're very busy in
the morning and the afternoon "
Dupuis-Bolduc said current-
ly, arts and crafts projects are
held every week which concen-
trate on the "culture of the
month." This month the lea-
lured Culture is Mexico and last
month was C osta Rica
For the months of July and

"NOW, SHE LOVES
TO LISTEN TO ME"
Frankly, I thought she was really getting tired of me and 1 was quite concerned at how
things were going. She always seemed to "snap" at me. I knew that she missed a few
words here and there, but, I didn't know that she couldn't hear me very well, at all. The
people at Mass Audiology were able to show us just how little she heard and how much
better her hearing could be. It was amazing and we are both so glad that we called. If
you are wondering about your loved one's hearing, don't wait. Have it checked, it's FREE!

The Ahimbisibwe Jamify, Emmanuel, Isaac, Donas ami Israel,
stands under the brightly-colored flag representing their native
country of Uganda. The ved symbolizes brotherhood, the yellow
Symbolizes the sun. and the Hack represents the i omplexion of
their skin, Israel explains,
v,;
For his children, not having
their father around left many
questions and eagerness to hear
about his experience in a foreign
I country.
"They wanted to know every-
thing." Dorcas said about Isaac
and Emmanuel.
During his time away, Israel
said he spent an average of S72 a
week on long distance phone bills
to keep in touch with his family.
But getting his family to the
U.S. was even more of a burden
as well as a long, difficult process,
. he said.
"Since 9/11. the rules have been
so stringent." he said. •They are
very suspicious, and the
American Embassy has become
very critical and want a lot of
details."
According to Israel, the applica-
tion process requires that those
coming to the United Suites have
secure funding in both living and
medical care, which the
Ahimbisibwe family has fortu-
nately been aided in from charita-
ble community members.
Residents Of a condominium
along the Driftway have offered
their residence to Israel and his
family and even handed over the
i keys to their car. while they spend
lime in their Florida home.
Dorcas' keeps busy taking pan
in weekly Bible studies at St.
Stephen's, and Isaac and
Emmanuel are enjoying their
classes at the Inly School.
"They listened a lot at first,"
said Inly School Principal Donna
Milani Luther about their mid-
; school year transition into their
new surroundings. By coinci-
dence, the children even got to
meet with an exchange teacher
- from Kenya who was visiting the
school and giving the students
lessons on cultural studies.
'The cultural exchange is so
j rich, it's worth it." Milani Luther
said the everyday interactions
both Isaac and Emmanuel have
with the school
"He's a pleasure to have in the
classroom." teacher Margie
Morgan said about Isaac as he
huddled around a group of other
classmates working on an activity.
"He's adapting really well."
Teacher Monica Curley said
; Emmanuel has had similar suc-
Swahili, a common language in
Umzania and Kenya, according to
Dorcas. In the 1970s and 1980s
Uganda was notorious for its
human rights abuses during the
military dictatorship of Idi Amin,
but has now been under more
democratic reform with current
president Yoweri Museveni.
while he looks forward to
returning home sometime soon,
Israel said he knows is neighbors
will have many questions lor him
about America and concerns con
ceming the war in Iraq.
'1 never want to answer those
questions." he said.
Still his experience and that of
his family has been enriching so
far, From trips to Boston's muse-
ums to seeing snow - a lot of it -

Craft market
idea floated
The Craft Market Committee
has withdrawn a request asking
Town Manager Bill Griffin for
permission to hold a weekly craft
market on Cohasset Common
from early July through mid-
August. The market would be
modeled after the Farmer's
Market but would be held
Saturday mornings from 9 a.m.
to I p.m., with the alternative of
Tuesdays from 2:30 p.m. until
6:30 p.m.
Griffin said the group won't be
ready for this summer but did ask
for feedback to see if the town
would be receptive to such a pro-
gram beginning next year.
Selectmen thought it would be a
good idea but that it would make
sense to hold it Thursdays while
the Farmer's Market is going on.
However, the Farmer's Market
organizers would need to be in
the loop before a decision is
made, selectmen said.
TM Griffin pitches
at opening day
Selectman Rob Spofford said
opening day for the Cohasset
Youth Baseball and Softball
Association's Little League
teams was a huge success and
"Went off without a hitch." He
thanked Glenn Pratt for lending
his vintage fire engine for the day
as well as Town Manager Bill
Griffin for throwing the first
pitch, which was a "strike right
down the middle."
Griffin played baseball in high
school and was recruited to play
the sport at Providence College.
Griffin also played for two years
on the Cape Cod Baseball
League, a summer league for col-
lege players.
Selectman Michael Sullivan
joked with Spofford and asked
why he didn't throw out the first
pitch. "Were you worried you
couldn't throw a strike?"
"I didn't have to, my daughter
does,' quipped Spofford.

ble proposed amendment to the
Second Amended Judgment with
Town Counsel at its June 7 meet-
ing. The Second Amended
Judgment has led die town to
work on a plan to clean up the
waters in the Little
Harbor/Atlantic Avenue area of
town. The Judgment was handed
down by the state as a means of
implementing the Clean Waters
Act. In 1979, a complaint was
filed alleging violation of the Act,
iind the town reached an agree-
ment with the state to supply
modem wastewater treatment. As
part of the settlement, the town
consented to enter the Judgment,
and plans to clean up the area
have been in the works ever
since.

Selectman Ralph Dormitzer said
MBTA special assistants Tom
Gruber and Mark Brennan have
found themselves very busy late-
ly. Dormitzer said he was
informed some power lines were
inadvertently cut during clearing
which led to power loss at a resi-
dence, and Gruber immediately
went down to the property and
made the calls to remedy the sit-
uation.
"I just want to let people know
they're doing a great job and peo-
ple can call them if they need
help," said Dormitzer.
Gruber and Brennan will be

Cook units still a moving target
FROM COOK. PAGE 1

process that could take up to nine
months. That means even if a bid
"was awarded this week, the town
"wouldn't meet the deadlines in
"the purchase and sale. Therefore.

control over the property, but the
■ Cook heirs receive the money for
the property which has been ear-
marked for various charitable
organizations at the wishes of
Jane Bancroft Cook, the town
could opt to purchase the proper-
ty and buy itself some time.
However, the town would need
to borrow the $4.5 million to pur-
chase the property, which would
require a Town Meeting vote.
Town Manager Bill Griffin said
it would lake roughly five weeks
' ' to prepare for and hold a Special
Town Meeting.
But getting the new RFP out in
a timely fashion is still a top pri-
ority.
"We have one last shot. This is
it. The last RFP needs to be spe-
cific enough that this project gels
done."' said Selectman Ralph
Dormit/er.
It is still not clear how many
housing units an on-site waste-
water system at the site could
handle.
Northland Residential, the
developer selected during the ini-
tial bidding process, has said it
intends to participate in the new
RFP process. Northland said the
site can accommodate 65 units.
Town Manager Bill Griffin met
with engineers from Coler •%
Colantonio and John Cavanaro
Consulting, who completed orig-
inal perc tests on the site, as well
as Health Agent Joseph Godzik
who witnessed the tests. He also
met with Daniel Coughlin of
Tutela Engineering Associates.
Griffin said after reviewing the
data, engineers said there could
be between 45 and 65 units built
on the site. "I know that's a pret-
ty wide range, but I think it's fair
to say 45 is a pretty conservative
estimate and 65 is pushing it," he
said, adding it would be his best
guess to say between 50 and 60
could be accommodated.
Selectman Rob Spofford said
there is another potential bidder
who has shown interest in the
property who might be able to
build all 95 units as had been
originally planned, because he
owns a parcel of land contiguous
to the property that could poten-
tially serve as a leaching field for
more units. He suggested that
while a minimum number of
units be specified in the RFP.
capping the development at 65
units, which was suggested by
Selectman Gary Vanderweil.
might not be in the town's best
financial interest.
However. Selectman Michael
Sullivan asked whether the town

.intends to bid on the project
.again and could build 65 units
without using the town or
' Fairoaks panel of land.
' However. Selectman Gary
Vanderweil said land on the
Fairoaks side could accom-
modate two homes. He said
the view of the "scrubby
woods" would be improved
with some nice looking
homes. In addition, the rev-
enue from the homes would
- help defray the costs of the
^development on the other
-side of the street and poten-
tially a greater number of
-rental units could be offered.
But Dormit/er pointed out
■►Town Meeting approved only
the building of senior housing
-on the Cook property.
"Changes would require
"another Town Meeting vole.
' Selectmen Chairman Fred
-Kocd said building on the
Fairoaks side property could
" be the only feasible way to

liment during the meeting
noting building on the three
acres could be the tradeoff
the town needs to add more
rental housing. With a
decreased size of the project
and a potential minimum unit
number set at 45, the 25 per-
cent affordability threshold
required under the town's
Senior Multi-family Overlay
District bylaw could translate
into only 12 affordable units.
Agnes McCann, 104 Doane
could have problems with the
state's procurement laws if one
of the bidders has more flexibili-
ty due to owning a contiguous
parcel of land, which could make
the playing field uneven. "If he
has other land, is it unfair?' he
asked. Griffin will check with
town counsel on the matter.
With the number of units the
land can support in question, bid-
ders will be asked to give various
cost estimates depending on the
number of units they think they
can build. They could be asked
to provide a price for 44 units. 55
units, and 65 units and any other
numbers, with design plans for
each.
Selectman Chairman Fred
Koed pointed out there is no
guarantee even 45 units can be
built on site.
In addition to the number of
units. Dormit/er asked the board
to consider ways the project
could be more environmentally
friendly.
Spofford agreed and said, "We
should try to have it green where
possible. It'll cost more, but you
may get your money back in the
long run."
Dotnui/er said there are things
that can be done within the
development that would be easy
changes to make and would help
with efficiency. Using a signifi-
cant amount of insulation, having
the units either lace the south or
its buffer
St.. wasn't happy with
Vanderweil's opinion. "I
think the board ought to gel
in step, particularly the new
member. This is a redesign of
the RFP. not a re write." she
^Joe Nedrow of the senior-
housing committee who also
lives on Fairoaks Lane, spoke
on behalf of his neighbors.
"II this property gels put back
into the RFP. the Fairoaks
neighborhood will lead a
charge lo appeal." he said.
When the first RFP went
out, the three acres mar
Fairoaks were designated as
open space and were not an
option for development. The
town's parcel was included in
the purchase, but developers
would deed the properly back
to Ihe town lo serve as a per
manent buffer.
Sullivan made a motion to
leave Ihe town and Fairoaks
side property out of the trans-
action in the new RFP and il
was approved by a 3-2 vote.

light, using energy-efficieni
appliances, and perhaps solar
panels.
Dormit/er said being green
could also be done passively,
such as using granite or other
materials that absorb heal. "And
that doesn't cost vou a penny.*'
The board decided specific
energy saving measures would
be left up io ihe developer, hui

Dormit/er also said he would

Opinion
EDITORIAL
Override friendly
;' From where we sit, the "0" in Cohasset could stand for override.
The town has been in an override- mode to balance its budget tor
years.
lis no secret thai Cohasset has high property taxes - but that is
due. in large part, to its small commercial lax base. Therefore, the
tow n has to rely on taxing its residents to pay lor public services
and education,
While other tow IB around us have rejected overrides this year,
override opponents shouldn't be too sure that Cohasset voters will
follow suit.
When did Cohasset act like any other town? It's uniqueness isn't
limited to its rocky shoreline, theatrical heritage or ocean vistas.
Cohasset is chuck lull of individualist people who pride thenv
selves on independent thinking and challenging the status quo.
We're not complaining, the quirkiness of this town has provided
as with great copy over the years.
So Saturday s vote is anybody's guess. Will voters say "yes/yes."
"yes/no." "no/yes." or "no/no"?
If we lived in the UK - where gambling on just about anything is
popular - the local betting stations would probably be taking
wagers and doing point spreads on the election.
Cohasset could also be a model for the "mini-override." While
asking for $400,000 isn't small change - other towns, like Norwell.
for example went lor S2.2 million in one fell swoop. Norwell vot-
ers turned that number down last weekend.
According to the Municipal Advocate, which cites its source as
the stale Dept. of Rev enue. Division of Local Services, 224 com-
munities have passed at least one override since 1990. Debt exclu-
sions wen.' not part of the tally.
By our count, we have Cohasset passing 1 1 overrides; but this
publication has the town at 10.
But interestingly, while Cohasset is among the towns that have
passed the most overrides - its grand total is on par with some
communities that hav e gone for fewer ov errides, bul asked for
mare money each time.
We guess the lesson here is there isn't all that much difference
between, let's say Dover (9 overrides for $2.3 million); Weston (7
overrides lor S3.6 million); Hingham (3 overrides for S2.I million);
Scituate (2 overrides for S2.3 million), and Cohasset ( 10 overrides
for S2.5 million).
It's not often that Cohasset ov errides are held at special elections
and nol at the regular town election. That may be why there seems
to be less excitement for this override contest than in prior years.
We're sure those affected by the sewer question w ill lum out as
well as concerned parents and grandparents worried about the
impact on the schools.
If we were belling people, we'd tip the scale toward a "yes/yes."
Bul our prognostication is just that The important thing is that
informed citizens head to the polls Saturday and let their voices be
heard.
Overrides don't have to be a fact of life. Prop. 2-1/2 prov ides the
taxpayers with the ability to make the decision.
The responsibility rests with you the voters, so do the right thing.
Think about what's best for your pocketbook and the future of
Cohasset. The choice is yours.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Please vote yes on override
To toe Editor:
Nobody likes overrides, bul the Town
Departments and the Schools have already cut
their hcadcouni and discretionary spending lo
minimize ihe amount of this one. The cuts in
stale funding, increases in out of district special
education and facilities costs, and growth in
school enrollments are all contributing factors.
The Town Manager and Superintendent are
working lo address these issues, including mak-
ing efforts to modify the teachers' contract lo be
in bener alignment w ith Prop 2-I/2. That is why
the override has received widespread support
and Gary Vanderweil. Donna McGee and Dick
Avery, among others, have indicated their inten-
tion to vote yes. Please vote on Saturday, and
please vote yes.

To the Editor:
The Cohassei PSO Telethon and auction
fundraiser has ended and with much gratitude. I
would like to thank everyone who helped lo
make this evenl so memorable. We net more
than $2.3,000 for the schoolchildren in
Cohasset! This money will be used lo help
enrich the school curriculum by providing fund-
ing for much needed items such as library
books, educational materials, art supplies,
teacher grants. Connect Ed, assembly programs
and guest speakers, etc...
The evening of the telethon had a lot of ener-
gy from "opening night jitters" lo waiting for
that first pledge amount announcement! The
performances were truly outstanding. We aic all
so very proud of each and every performer and
the comaraderie they shared with one another
behind the stage. It's not easy to be live and tele-
vised on stage. I am in awe of their talents and
the support the students gave to one another
As the proverb states, "li take a village to raise
a child" and the telethon embraced this notion.
The fundraiser was planned and executed by a
core group of talented and never tiring mothers.
I would personally like to thank Nancy From,
Micbele Skolnick, Lisa Dooley. Sarah Porter.
Lucia Flibotte and Suae Montgomery. Of
course, we could nol have been so successful
without local families and businesses thai gen-
erously contributed items lo the raffles and auc-
tion. Il is my hope thai everyone can thank these
families, easinesses, and our sponsors with their
kind words or patronage. I would like lo lhank
the emcees, Lucia Flibotte and Rich Oftsun.
Reading cue cards and making schedule
changes on the fly (while on camera) is not an
easy feat.
More kudos are in order for the Cohassei
High School art department They created our
banner for the stage. Alida. al Cohasset
Greenery, donated the beautiful flowers on ihe
stage and piano. Ken Cisneros helped with the
technical aspects regarding our pc needs. Our
school administrators and Principals were sup-
portive and extremely helpful publicizing the
event. The Cohassei Mariner primed our
lelethon information on a weekly basis.
On the night of the telethon, we had some
additional volunteers that made the evening run
flawlessly. Deny Schwanterdid a wonderful job
manning the camera and television production.
Eva Habar and Beverly Bielewicz took care of
the pledge sheets. Dorothy Greene. Kim
Camey, and Maria Kennedy all worked to help
keep the lalenl on schedule.
Thanks to so many of you w ho generously
pledged or bid your dollars to the Cohassei
PSO. I am overwhelmed by ihe generosity in
our (own, I have enjoyed being a piirt of this
new tradition in Cohasset and hope thai all of
you ltKik forward to this annual evenl. If you

TO THE LDriDR:
Ralph Domiitzer wenl up quite a lew notch-
es in my book al Tuesday selectmen's meeting.
I'm sure other Fairoaks residents and town con-
servationists also feel the same way. The vote
was tied at two to two. Michael Sullivan and
Rob Spofford voted in fav or of leaving Ihe Cook
land on the Fairoaks side of Sohier Street as
conservation space. Gary Vanderweil and Fred
Koed voted in favor of perking lhat land with
the intention of possibly building on the space.
It was up lo Dormitzer. He was the deciding
vole. The meeting-goers held their breath for a
moment. Then Dormit/er made his decision
after what seemed like an hour. He said he
would have to vote with Sullivan. He felt lhal
there was loo much opposition and sensitivity to
this issue and therefore he did not want il lo con-
tinue lo drag on and impede the future of Ihe
I
Cook Estate project hie voted to preserve the
green space along Sohier Street
It was like Jason Varilck's walk-off home ran
last week. The Green Team was down and
Dormitzer came up to the plate and hit a home
run lhat won tlx1 game. He got a kit of help lasi
nighl from his teammates, especially by
Sullivan who made some excellent and con-
vincing points against building. And of course.
Spofford had been gelling hits right along.
Dormitzer look ihe side of the people of
Cohassei. He upheld, through his vole. Ihe wish-
es of tlx' voters al lown meeting. I really think
lhal he wauled lo look into Ihe possibility of
building on lhal site, but he proved lhat he is a
reasonable man and lhal when Ihe people speak,
he should listen.
And the people did speak oul on this issue. Joe
Nedrow consistently demonstrated his invalu-
able in-depth knowledge of Cook Estate issues.
Many other fairoaks Lane residents attended
Ihe last three selectmen meetings to express
their concerns. And there were others as
well. . .some lhal really were nol affected direct-
ly but who warned Ihe lown vole to prevail. My
cap is off to all of the people who attended these
meetings.
Nol all of Cohassei will remain beautiful.
Oilier sites will be developed Bui this is one
piece of land lhat will remain natural. When you
drive up Sohier Street now toward the Music
Circus and look left you will nol see houses
You will see trees, And all of the out-of-town
people w ho conx- to enjoy a show al the big tent
or Visit our lovely village will drive up that hill
and they will say, "What a beautiful town
Cohasset is."

Town debt burden is too high
COMMENTARY
lAY KASIWOWK7
I
; The precedent of the 50 percent subsidy of new
iewer districts was established in 1997 when a num-
ber of vocal residents of North Cohasset fought for
what amounted to mitigation costs. They expressed
a strong unwillingness to shoulder the full cost of
laying sewer pipes in their streets and pipes and
Jumps on their properties for the sake of getting the
down off the hook in its court administered settle-
ment with the state Department of Environmental
Protection. DEP's motivation was the clean-up of
Straits Pond. The Town essentially said to North res-
idents, OK. we understand, we'll share costs. We
Shouldn't make you the temple sacrifice.
5 I don't recall the resistance at that same time from
residents of the new Central District. I suspect
Biany if not most Central residents w ere happy to be
Sewered and to pay the price, but they were not
going to be loots ;md (urn down any subsidy that
North was able (o w in for them on Town Meeting
fjtxir.
; Now we come to the recently approved additional
districts of Little Harbor. Atlantic Avenue and IXcp
Run/ Rust Way. The residents of these districts
worked hard and long to access our limited seWd
capacity. And likewise, the DEP wanted something
done to abate the pollution of Little Harbor. The
Town had devised an alternative to lull sewering.
But Little Harbor residents had little interest in
Tow n monitored on-site septic systems. Again quite
understandable.
But in my opinion, we have passed into a new
stage in grappling with our wastewater. We've
passed from dealing with satisfying a state lawsuit
to satisfying ourselves. And that requires a different
approach to assigning cosis.
Following precedent is often employed as a way
to avoid critical thinking. I believe the time has
come to be realistic rather than submit to lazy think-
ing and relying on precedent.
College economics told us that the purpose of the
pricing mechanism in a capitalist marketplace is the
allocation of scarce resources. It works beautifully.
We should be employing it. In other words, if you
want sewer, you should pay for it. If you don't want
it. we'll offer it to someone who does. The residents
of our new est districts clearly want it. We don't have
to subsidize their wishes, nor should we. Subsidies
should only be used to cudgel someone into doing
something not fully aligned with their own self-
interest.
I could be dissuaded from my little "capitalist the-
ory of sewer pricing" if we had an established plan
that took care of the needs of the whole Town with-
in a reasonably short time span. We have not had
that plan in the past, we do not have it now and we
may not have it in the reasonably near future despite
our best wishes and efforts. The Sewer Commission
has promised to review the needs of the remaining
parts of the Town, but we cannot guarantee that we
can solve all problems in the near future. And that
dream remains untenable if we become addicted to
the 50/5(1 cost sharing precedent because the Town
already has an extraordinary debt burden.
liased on 2003 IX'partment of Revenue. Division
of Dx-al Services data. Cohasset's per capita debt
burden is about $11,8001 Thai works out to about
$32,000 per home. In a sense, we've agreed to allow
the Town to impose a second mortgage on us. Per
capita debt levels for various towns I've selected
Cohasset SI I.K00; Weston S 7.900: Westwood S
4.300 Nantucket £4,100; Duxhury $4,000; NbrweU
$3,236; Marhlehead $3,100. Scituate $2,900;
Lincoln $2,700; Hingham $2,600 Wclleslcv S2.6O0.
To be fair, we must remember that a big portion ol
our School building indebtedness will be paid by the
state. Also, half of our sewer indebtedness is being
paid by our sewer customers through betterment
assessments. So some significant portion of that
$1 1 ,800 is either being paid by the Male or DJ sewer
customers. Bui these other towns probably have
similar pay downs coming their way.
There has been a lot of lip service for keeping
Cohasset affordable for our seniors. Let's consider
those elderly couples, widows and widowers out-
side our sewer districts. As they move out of their
homes to live with family members or move on to
assisted living facilities, their home sale proceeds
will be diminished by Title 5 upgrade costs So the
only asset left to fund the remaining years ol most
seniors will have a $20,000 to $|<)0.(XK> chunk
taken out ol it No one will be whipping out a check-
bix)k to help these seniors. Yet these same seniors
have been subsidizing sewer sy stems (or other pans
of Town for years.
Finally, the Little Harbor District resident- will
have a bonus that no other municipal sewer cus-
tomers m Cohasset will ever have again namely
the $6,1X10 Massachusetts septic-las credit. Il is only
available to sewer system hiH>k-up> required by
state court order. That's a direct S6.000 tax subsidy
by Massachusetts to each Little Harbor homeowner.
I strongly urge you to vole against the 50 percent
subsidy this Saturday.

'50-50' is all about equity and fairness
Rkuvkii Bwioks
One of the ballot questions iliis Saturday deals
with the question of w hether (he future sewer costs
for IXep Run. Rust Way and the Little Harbor area
should, in keeping w ith the lone Cohasset tradition,
-be funded 50 percent by the low n and 50 percent by
the sewer sen ice recipients via property better-
ments.
This question involves issues ol tradition, fairness,
facts not understixxl yet by most voters and the
potential divisiveness of MM slaving with tradition.
We've all had enough divisiveness over the past
couple of years and we really should not take that
. route ever again!
Firstly, let me explain that most of the Central
Sewer District and the North Cohasset Sewei
District were voted to he funded via the "50-50"
split. Further, this 50 50 split applied lo the costs in
those districts not only fa DV sewer lines in the
public streets Nil also the significant costs to luxik
tip each resilience via the sewer lines constructed up
to each house from the lines in the street. The Sewer
Commission has already decided, regrettably, that a
"50-50" cost split, if voted, will not apply to the
connection work done on private property lo con-
nect each house and thai cost will be absorbed 100
percent by the homeowners. Thus, the characteriza-
tion of "50-50" split is a mis-characterization and. if
the "50-50" split is voted, as it should be. the actual
split w ill be — SO percent paid for by the residents
receiv ing the sewer service and only 20 percent paid
for by the Town. That alone is reason why we
should vote for the so-called "50-50" funding split!
It's not a 50-50 split, its an 80-20 split! Beware
those who speak incorrectly!
If the voters decide to vote that the recipients
should pay for MX) percent of the costs, that will be
rubbing sail in the wounds of gross unfairness and I
just can't see most Cohasset voters being party to
such an egregious, unfair, undemocratic funding
scheme!
The fair thing lo do is to continue the so-called
"50-50" funding split. Note that the residents of
Little Harbor. Rust Way and Deep Run have been
paying their 50 percent contribution over the years
loi die sewer recipients in the Central District and
the North Cohasset District! It is unthinkable lo
expect those families to continue to pay that 50 per-
cent of the other sewer recipients but then also pay
MX) percent of the cost of their ow n sewer construc-
tion.
Anyone who supports that grossly unfair scenario
is supporting divisiveness. probable litigation and.
surely, a IlixxJ of Citizen Petition Articles to remedy
the unfairness at future Tow n Meetings! Lets yet it
correct now and avoid those problems. I believe Ihc
majority of the sewer commissioners favor thai we
vote for the " 50-50" spin to he consistent and lair
As a tinal note, the "unfairness" ol the situation
for residents who perhaps will never receive sewer
service because their location does not nose pollu-
tion hazards to ponds and coasial waters and whose
soil conditions are excellent loi on-site septic sys-
tems, is also recognized.
As has been discussed a lot recently, the Town
should indeed implement a fund to assist such
homes, perhaps 50-50. when those septic systems
need upgrade or replacement. These residents are
helping to pay lor the Central and North Cohasset
Sewer Districts construction — yet they have a low
probability of ever receiving central sewer service. I
expect Selectmen K<x?d. Vanderweil and Dormitzer,
and perhaps others, will address this issue in the
near future.

I've been waiting for almost 20 years for a school

Cohasset has had 7 overrides in 7 years. The

'will need at least a 6.3 percent increase per year —

"keep spending.

occur if you vole against the override.

w ith students from the high sch(x>l, thus freeing up
money to be used in the classrooms.
(Xir $98K/year technology director, in the brand
new state-of-the-art facilities, could spend a few
hours surfing the web to direct our other adminis-
trators, i.e. curriculum coordinator, department
heads, and team leaders to web sites that would pro-
vide information for free professional development
and suggestions for enhancing math, science tech-
nology and engineering in the classrooms.
Our S79K Curriculum Coordinator should be in
contact with area universities like Tufts that have a
community outreach program in engineering. There
an; also opportunities to be had by including
Cohasset in programs through Discover E but we
need the initiative (o come from the administration
and we have seasoned administrators on our payroll.
We may be able to reevaluate if we need to create
new administrative positions in the middle sch<x>l
like we are doing with the new vice-principal. It is
great if we have extra money in the coffers to be
able to have a perky new administrator fresh out of
a master's program lo ccxirdinale after-school clubs.
But since we don't have the cash, maybe this S70K
should go to teaching positions instead and have
some reorganization with the 5 full time student ser-
vices personnel at the middle schixil. The town has
provided this age group already with the Garage to
keep them (xxupied and out of trouble.
The schools are Uxiking for new courses Maybe
vvc can reinstate the Early Childhixxl Development
program and have the high school students involved
w ith the PreK and the full day K students where
they would encounter a unique learning experience
by assisting in the classes and possibly save on
some aides salaries. This was a very successful pro-
gram when I first moved to Cohasset.
These are just a tew scenarios of the myriad that
creative minds can develop when necessity
demands.
Plus we can't forget the town appointed School
Budget Investigation Committee report presented al
the April Town Meeting. Several areas of systemic
problems with the school committee were identified
that the taxpayers have steadfastly asked to be cor-
rected for years, in particular, ptxir monitoring,
weak communications, an acceptance of overrides
as an annual event and insufficient oversight of the
budget. It is obvious that our elected officials have
let Ihc taxpayers and the students down and maybe
a no vote will actually cause us to sec sonic real
changes

The city of Salem, which calls itself "the
Witch City" and has managed to elevate the
17th century hanging of 14 women and five
men into a multi-million dollar tourist indus
try. is about to install another weapon in its
promotional arsenal.
The Salem Redevclopinenl Authority the
other day voted to approve the addition ot a
nine-foot statue ot Samantha Stephens, the
woman with the twitchv nose in the old TV
sit-com "Bewitched." to ihc scenery in
downtown Lappin Park
The Statue is scheduled to be unveiled by
the cable channel TV Land on June 5. just in
time lo catch the dehut ol a new movie
called "Bcvv nched." starring Nicole
Kidman Boy. is thai a lucky coincidence or
what'.'
The statue is scheduled to be
unveiled by the cable
channel TV Land on June 5,
just in time to catch the
debut of a new movie called
"Bewitched," starring
Nicole Kidman.
Of Course, the statue ot Samantha will look
an awful lot like the late Elizabeth
Montgomery, who played the witch in
"Bewitched." which ran on Channel 5 from
1964 to (972 and has been in reruns on
channels like TV Land ever since
She will be depicted. I am told, wearing a
bill pointed black hat. riding side-saddle on
the traditional broomstick inside a crescent
moon.
Not everyone in Salem is thrilled about
adding a fake TV witch to ihc rosier ol lake
witches that already draw the marks to
Salem, this in spue ol the lacl that the 1602
trials tiHik place in a section ol Old Salem
now known as Danvcis
"For a lot of people, it was a nice TV show,
bul tbeTE are a lot of nice TV shows." John
Carr. a former member ol the Salem
Historical Society, told ihc Boston Herald
"We should be able lo say more in the prin-
cipal intersection of our downtown."
He may he sorry he said that — out loud,
any way.
TV Land is also currently rerunning the
sit-com "Cheers." so when can we evpect
the statue of Sain Malone. the lake Red So\
relief pitcher, or Norm Peterson, the fake (or
real) beer-drinker, or Cliff Clavin. every-
one's favorite lake mailman '
Wouldn't visitors lo Dixlge City. Kansas,
be thrilled to find Matt Dillon among the
pantheon of U. S. marshals like Wyatt Earp
and Wild Bill Hickock. who kept the peace
in thai frontier town What do you mean, his
real name was Jim Artless'.'
While we're al it. how about a statue for
"WKKP in Cincinnati'.'" Should it be news-
man Let Nessinan waiting for those turkeys
lo come down, or Johnny Fever or Venus
Flytrap or my nomination, station secretary
Jennifer Marlowe (42-27-38)?
A statue of Laverne Del-uzio and Shirley
Feeney as they manned lor womannedl the
assembly line in the Bottle Cap Division Of
Ihe Sholz Brewery would certainly do a lot
for the tourist industry in Milwaukee, if
there is any.
I guess it's just a question of fiction, if
repeated long enough, becomes fact while
fact, like the witch trials in Danvers, slip
away into oblivion.
Come lo think of it. in a way. the 1692

However, animals can carry

newspaper article which told
about children getting sick Bom

hamsters and other small animals.
Some of these animals have con-
tacted a strain of Salmonella
which has changed to become
more resistant to antibiotics .is a
result of practices at pet shops and
clinics dealing with small animals
So. people can also get salmtv-
nellosis if they do not wash their
hands after touching the feces of
animals. Reptiles (li/ards. snakes,
and turtles i. baby chicks, and
ducklings are especially likely to
pass salmonellosis to people.

Some people are more likely

So. the conditions under which
you or your family can become ill

be more vigilant and rigorous
about washing and cleanup.
• Think about the possible con-

• Alter contact with animals
which may carry feces (stool),
wash hands w ith soap and run-

• Wash hands with soap and

Selectman races can be
costly contests
By Mary Ford

Candidates running for select-
man in Cohasset aren't shy
about raising money.
According to campaign
finance reports on file at the
Town Clerk's office, the three
selectman candidates in this
year's annual Town Election
raised a grand total of roughly
$20,000 and spent nearly as
much.
Incumbent Selectman Fred
Koed and Gary Vanderweil. a
former sewer commissioner,
garnered the most votes in the
three-way race for two seats
April 9. edging out Debbie
Shadd. who served on the advi-
sory committee.
Last year, four candidate for
two seats raised nearly S 1 7.(XX)
- but three of the four account-
ed for nearly all the money.
Three-term incumbent
Selectman Merle Brown, who
reported only $308 in receipts.
Came in fourth behind Rob
Spollbrd. Ralph Dormit/er ami
Louis Harvey.
Town Clerk Marion Douglas
says she thinks the amount of
money being raised for recent
selectman's races is more than
in the past. She says the trend
can be disturbing.
"It's too bad if it discourages
people from running." Douglas
said about the cost.
Koed was the top vote-getter,
although at $5,361. he raised
the least amount of money.
However. Koed - who reported
only $1,075 in receipts as of
March 23. brought in an addi-
tional $4,286 in the closing
weeks. Koed reported $3,756
contributions in excess of $50
"The bottom line
is, good or bad,
this is the political
system and the
reality of town
politics and
democracy."
— Selectman Fred Koed
and $1,505 in contributions of
S50 and under.
State law requires candidates
to itemize receipts over $50
including the name and address
of the contributor; for contribu-
tions of $200 or more, the occu-
pation and employ er of Ihe con-
tributor must also be listed.
Koed said money is needed in
a competitive selectman's race
"The bottom line is. good or
bad. this is the political system
and the reality of town politics
and democracy,'' he said. Koed
pointed out postage and printing

With Wednesday's win over
Harwich, the Cohasset boys
tennis team has already
improved on their win total
from last year.
After finishing Ian season II-

Softballers fighting through tough stretch
By Evan Deutsch
CORRESPONDENT
The Cohasset softball team
dropped faster and harder last
week than a group of oak trees
in the Greenbush corridor.
With three losses to add to
their 4-5 record, the Skippers
recognize the need to pull their
act together. Quickly.
What does head coach Deb
Boslwick make of the situation?
•Offensively, we need to be
more aggressive and consistent
to offset some of our defensive
errors." she said.
The trouble all started May 10
when Hull paid a very unfriend-
ly 10-3 visit to Freedom Field.
In many respects, this game
played out like the two teams'
first match-up in Hull. Four
innings of neck-to-neck softball
followed by a disastrous fifth for
Cohasset.
According to Boslwick. "Hull
hit the ball belter than we did.
Our opponent forced us to make
errors. Hull Capitalized on
them."
One Hash of offensive bril-
liance came from co-captain
CeeCee Chapman, who clocked
"Offensively, we need to be more aggressive
and consistent to offset some of our
defensive errors."

a triple. Alter the final out. the
Pirates sailed away, robbing
Cohasset of a much needed win,
Two days later the Skippers
slipped deeper into the loss col-
umn when they hosted the
Norwell Clippers. In the learns'
first meeting on April 26. the
Skippers beat ihem in Norwell.
This lime the Clippers took
advantage of our home team's
over-confidence. beating
Cohasset 6-3.
Co-captain Erin l.iddell
summed up the situation per-
fectly
"We came into this game with
way too much assurance." she
said. "Our bats froze. We paid
the price for our casual altitude."
If any daylight broke through
the storm clouds, ii could be
found among the younger play-
ers. Junior Emily Sa\ age-
pitched an impressive game.
Freshman Anna Haggerty per-
formed very well in the catcher
position, Haggerty also con-
tributed to the offense, going 2-
tor-2 at the plate.
Unfortunately, the Skippers
still had not seen the worst of it.
The girls journeyed down to
Nantucket, only to take their
third beating of the week, losing
18-3.
C'ohassel could not get the fire
started, even with some
admirable play by Virginia
Spofford. Katie James, Alida
Tangherlini. and Casey
Anderson.
Boslwick managed lo find
some positives in this defeat.

With the hype and hullabaloo
of the Norwell rivalry and the
rest of the South Shore League
schedule out of the way. the
Cohasset girls tennis team is
focusing on one thing: success in
the state tournament.
After last Thursday 's J-2 loss
to the Clippers - which like!)
gives Norwell the league cham-
pionship - Cohasset came buck

and tying it up in the third
inning." she said. "Even though
our bais weren't swinging, the
girls really hung in there."
On a positive note, the
Skippers are doing many things
right. Bostwick seemed
impressed with her team's smart
base running skilLs. She also
showed enthusiasm about her
pitchers.
"Our opponents are asking
which of our pitchers are on the
mound. We have more experi-
ence under our belts." Boslwick
said.
To enler the playoffs, the
Skippers need lo win six of their
next eight games... a (all order
given the most recent past.
According lo Boslwick. the
strongest teams remain
Abington. Hull and Harwich.
Five of the eight games
occurred this week. The oppo-
nents include South Shore
Christian Academy. Sacred
Hcuri. Holbrook, Mashpee. and
Harwich.
"These are all beatable teams,"
remarked Co-caplain Casey
Anderson. "I think we're ready
for the challenge."

Lady Skippers
at .500 with five
games to play
By Mark Goodman
MGO00MAN9CNC.COM
The Cohasset girls lacrosse is
right on the fence in terms of
qualifying for the stale tourna-
ment.
Heading into yesterday's game
with Marshfield la team
CohaSSel defeated two weeks
ago. 1 1 -4), the Skippers were 6-
6-1 with five games to play.
The remaining games are today
at home against Cape Cod
Academy, Saturday at home
against Plymouth (9:30 a.m.
start). Monday at Plymouth
14:30). and Wednesday at home
against Notre Dame.
Cohasset got back to the .500
level last Saturday w ith a 9-4 w in
al Nantucket. The Skippers led 4-
2 al the half and 5-4 in the second
half, before two goals from
Lauren Ri//oiti and one by
Lindsay Durkin scaled the deal
for the visitors.
Durkin had a game-high three
goals, with Riz/oni. Molly Kirk
and Mackenzie Holway scoring
iwo apiece. Kirk's performance
w as the laiesi in a string of good
games from the senior midfield-
er.
Ri/y.otli's goals gave her 99 for
her high school career, making it
likely that by the time you are
reading this, she has eclipsed the
100-goal mark.
The win was a nice way lo
come back from last Thursday's
home loss to Sandwich, a game
in which head coach Torin
Sweeney his team gave an
unusually lackluster effort
The first half of lhal game was
Ihc worst we have played all
year," he said. "That was the first
time this season I thought we
were outworked. I can say this
confidently, lhal the kids have
never given less effort ihan the
other team, except for lhal first
half against Sandwich "
Sweeney was a loi more happy
to talk about the Nantucket victo
"We played a real good game
against a Nantucket team lhal has
gollen much heller," he said. "We
played really well breaking the
transition."
One of the keys there, accord-
ing to the coach was the play of
defender Marissa Evans, another
player who has stepped up in
recent weeks with some big con-
tributions.

Any Sciluale-Colusset boys
lacrosse game is likely to tea-
lure its share of trash talking,
with this year's two games
certainly no exception.
And while the Skippers

Sailors relumed the favor with
a huge 11-8 win on Cohasset's

half, the Skippers did manage
a couple point blank opportu-

by Gray.
The win improved Scituate \

The Clippers clinched their

their toughest match of the

matches went to a third set
Winning lor Cohasset was
the first doubles team of
Chris Pescatore and Chris

from Norwell (Brett Cleaves

'"They played their best

played great."
Sceery was in quite a match
of his own against Norwell
sophomore Ryan Sweeney.
The two have squared off
several times before, but this
was the first match in which

Sceery. who along with
Morin advanced to the sec-

Cohasset girl- tennis match came
down to first singles
Norwell's Susan Bitetti and
Cohasset's Elizabeth Stone

level. Not surprisingly, the final
game went like this:

As hard as that may be lo tol-

Bitetti finally put it away on her
sevenlh match point lor a b-l . 7-
5 win
With the large contingent of
fans all focusing on the first sin-
gles court - including many
teammates who could harelv
stand to watch - Bitetti described
the experience of being in that
position wilh the team match on
the line.
"In between points. I was
aware of the attention." she said
minutes after the match. "But
during play, you're able to block
that stuff out"
The result was nearly the exact
opposite of the two girls' first
match on April 26. where Stone
won 6-0. 7-5.
"I really wauled this chance to
play her again." Bitetti said.
After the first match. I tell I
could have played better."
Stone, one ol two senior cap
tains for Cohasset. put the loss
into perspective.
"I don't think it's a bad thing to
lose: ihe pressure |of a long

she said. "It will also feel thai
much better to bounce hack and
win some matches."
There is a very good chance
that these two will meet again
this weekend in the Soulh sec

loss during action on Friday. May
The Cohasset White 1 1 -and-
(nder learn (grades 3 and 4 1
earned it* first win of the year by
using a well-coordinated effort to
stop Hraintree.
The defensive gmup and mid-
fielders shined throughout the
game - with Chris Sylvia playing
a particularly strong game - in
Ironl ol goallenders Henry Brown
and Cute Kissick. whose solid
play limited the home team to a
single goal.
Jack McElgunn's efforts on
ground kills and clearing allowed
the offense to get some rhythm,
and veterans John Mills and Nick
Tanghcrlini converted on their
KOring opportunities Cohassei's
midfteld also played hard, with
Mark McKenna and Cole
Maher making a strong contribu-
tion to advancing the ball and
Matthew Arnold chipping in wnh
two shots on goal and some strong
pressure on ground halls
The end result was a 3-1 win in
which the White team displayed
growing confidence and field
sense, and improving leam and
individual skills.
The Cohasset Blue 13-and-
I nder team (grades 5 and 6) was
nest up in Braintree and it wasted
no time taking control of the con-
iesi with superior stick skills, nel-
ling si\ unanswered goals.
Braintree responded by becom-
ing increasingly physical and hv
pressuring Cohasset more, hut that
tactic failed as Cohasset repeatedly

Oldest girls drop first game of
the season
Cohassei's 15-U girls lacrosse
program lost its first regular-sea-
son game in three seasons on
Sunday, May 15, dropping a lasi-
mintite road decision lo a Duvhury
1 team lhal the home team had
slacked lo act like an "A" team.
Cohasset, w hich div ides its piav -
ers evenly in accordance with
Mass Bay Youth Lacrosse League
rules, had defeated all of
Duxbury s other teams this season
prior to matching up w ith Duvhury
3 at both age levels
In the 15 1' game. Ihe action
swung from end-to-end. with
Cahriclla Flibutte convening an
Isahelle Franklin feed for a quick
goal, and with Franklin converting

goal for ftankbn was the 5<Hh of
her youth lacrosse career, making
her just the second player lo reach

direct-free position, but Cohasset
then gave Ihe home team two
straight penalty shots, which
Duxbury banged home to tie the
score at 3. Flibolte scored the
game's next two goals, tallies
which pushed her career goal total
to 150. or KXI more than the sec-
ond-highest goal scorer (Franklin).
Another goal from Franklin
made it look like Cohasset was
ready to roll, hul some defensive
lapses and penalties allowed
Duxbury to get back into it with
two scores before Ihe half, which
ended w ith Cohasset in front 6-5,
The second hall saw the teams
trade scores, with Duxbury rotat-
ing scores with Flibotte until il was
finally able to tie the score at 8.
From there. Cohasset missed on its
opportunities and Duxbury netted
a controversial goal - where the rel
acknowledged that a player was
illegally in die crease but did not
wave off the score - and Cohasset
ran oul of lime as it moved in
towards the net as the final whistle
blew.
Thomson JafTe made live saves
in the Cohasset net. and Mlmi
Mahoney led a defense that had
moments of brilliance interspersed
with costly lapses,
The Cohassel Blue I.Vand-
I inder team (grades 5 and 6) also
laced off against Duxbury "s most
slacked squad, in this case a leam
composed entirely of sixth graders,
and also came oul on ihe short end
of a light game.
Cohassel fell behind by two
early, and then traded goals to Ihe
hall wnh Anna Michalim ski and
Lindsay MacNaught notching the
goals. The second hall featured
many scoring chances for both
teams, but onlv IWU shots got past
the goallenders - Cohassel sconng
on a goal from Michalowski - and
ihe game ended with the home
team up 5-3.
Molly McElgunn stood tall in
ihe Cohassel net. stopping six
shots, including several laken FfCfll
right on Ihe rJooHKp.
The Cohassel While 13-U team
squared off against a much differ-
ent Duxbury I leam. and while il
played a sloppy first half, the game
was hardly in doubt.
McElgunn. Paige DeSisto.
MacNaught. Michalowski and
Kaci Kucinski scored foi
Cohassel, as the leam cmised to a
5-3 halflime lead. McElgunn
opened the second-half scoring,
before two Duxbury goals made
things look light.
At lhal point, MacNaught fed
Kathleen Kelly for a score.
Merrick Sease finished a solo
dash. Kucinski scored twice.
DeSistO got her second of the dav
and Aniko Haher stored her first
goal of Ihe season lo blow things
Open, A Duxbury score in the
game's final seconds made the
score 12-6. and Cohassel W hile
raised lis record to 5-2 on the ve.u
The Cohassel white 15-U team
included a number of girls who
losl in ihe Blue team's game, and
ihev look oui their frustrations
early and often on the home leam
Katie Cannier Opened things
up. and Hannah Burgess then
drove from behind the next for
another score lo give Cohassel a 2
(I lead Maura Barnes and Jenny
Cahill convened two consecutive
direct-free positions, and l.indsav
Allard and Gabriella Flibotte
SCOied single markets to make the
score 64). and Cohassel squan-
dered numerous more chancos

Seaside Adventures sets sail for third year
The Center for Student Coastal
Research (CSCR) is accepting
applications for its Seaside
Adventures program. This is the
third year for the CSCR camp
that was developed as an entry
program to introduce and famil-
iarize children with the costal and
OCen environment. The sum-
mer camp program is an outdoor
activity camp for students rang-
ing from third to sixth grade.
The camp is age-appropriate,
exciting, with hands-on projects
introducing essential concepts of
oceanography, marine biology,
and environmental science. Each
day students are asked to think of
essential questions related to the
program's theme. Students are
then given opportunities to
reflect upon or discuss their
understandings based upon their
experiences. In other words, the
camp is a forum to learn from

is based on the belief that impor-
tant academic understandings
can be gained by engaging in
'"playful" activities. Explorative
play gives rise to essential ques-
tions - questions that form the
basis for constructing knowl-
edge. This constructivist
approach to science is at the core
of the Seaside Adventures cur-
riculum.
"Seaside Adventures" com-
bines the fun of being at the
beach as well as teaches students
about the coastal environment in
which they live.
"This summer day camp for
young students provides a way
for kids to gel excited about sci-
ence and finding new ways to
explore the environment", says
Cohasset Middle School Science
teacher and Seaside Adventures
curriculum developer, Lisa
Mullen. "It is a valuable way to
concurrently learn and have fun
and stimulates an early fascina-
tion for local ocean environ-
ment"
Interested parents can visit the
camp's websiic at

information on camp activities
and to till QUI an application.
Additionally, staff will be pa'sent
from 9:00 -12:00 on May 2 1 and

Celebrating three decades of song and camaraderie
Group plans trip
to New Mexico
By Carol Britton Meyer
CMEYERtfCNC.COM
The Km >;nl Com' Chorale is cele-
brating its MXh anniversary with a
musical trip to Santa Rs. Chorale
members come from Hingham.
Cohassel. Scituate. Norwell.
Weymouth, and PKmpion. with a
wide audience in Cohassel and
Hingham.
"I've conducted lots of different
kinds of groups OVCf the past -HI
years, and the Chorale has always
given me the most pleasure It's
such a wonderful!) caring, cam-
mi Qed, fun group, said Director
Margo Euler. ""Making it to this big
annivers.tr> is really special."
The group will perform with the
Zia Singers, a women's chorus
similar to the ( horale.
"Santa Fe was a natural choice
because our beloved former
accompanist. Lydta Madrick.
moved there in I 'AM and is now
the accompanist of the Zia
Singers." said Elder. Madrick anil
Euler have remained friends over
the yean. In fact Euler visited
Madrick twice in conjunction with
singing in the Berkshire Choral
Festival in Santa Fe
"This will be an exciting place to
visit, with its many an galleries,
great shopping. interesting
Anastasi ruins, and wonderful
high-desert scenery," Euler said.
"Everyone's life is at such a differ-
ent place - we have both young
mothers and grandmothers in the
group - that we couldn't pull off a
trip together before* so this is quite
unique."
Current members range in age
from mid-thirties to mid-si \ties.
with a u ide range of musical abili-
ties. "The camaraderie the group
enjoys is legendary, including fre-
quent lunches together after
rehearsals," said Euler. Recent per-
formances include "Songs of the
Sea." the music of Gustav Hoist
and a wedding concert presented
half in a church las if at a wedding )
and half in the social hall with a
band as the reception entertain-
ment
Several Broad Cove Chorale
. alumnae returned to rehearsals this
spring and will join the gniup mak-
" ing the trip to Santa Fe. The)
include Kathy Reardon of
Hingham and Denise Rachel of
Norwell. both members of the
Unicom Singers; Carol Whittaker
of Braintree; Lorena Zeller of
Huigham; Barbara Mann of
Alexandria. Va.. who will arrive in
Hingham in time to perform with
the Chorale on May 25 (see side-
bar): Carolyn Curtis of Phoenix.
Arizona: and Madrick.
"The camaraderie
the group enjoys
is legendary,
including frequent
lunches together
after rehearsals."
— MargO Euler. director
The musical part of the anniver-
s;uy tour w ill feature ajoint concert
on June 4 at the Santuario. an
adobe mission church. They will
also sine Mass at St. Francis
Cathedral tiie next day. Both per-
formances will include four-hand
piano accompaniment showcasing
the talents of Madrick and the
Chorale's current pianist Lenae
Badger of Scituate. An original
transcription of some of Brahms'
l.iebeslieder Walt/es re-voiced for
women by Unicom Singer
Richard Jensen of Weymouth will
be rhe grand finale by the two cho-
ruses, with the two pianists at the
nine-foot Steinway.
()n the final evening in Santa Fe.
the Chorale will celebrate with a
festive banquet, complete with
singing. There they will revive
their 10th anniversary song, with
music and words bv Hingham 's
Judy Hardy, followed by the 20th
anniversary song, with words by
Ruth Powell, and the 30th anniver-
sary creation by Hingham's Sally
Davenport.
"Other musical and humorous
numbers are also expected to
appear," said Euler. who founded
the Chorale in 1975 as a selective
chamber chorus for women when
she moved from Concord to
Hingham. Three years BOB she
gathered a small mixed choms of
South Shore soloists to perform
Menotti's "The Unicom, the
Gorgon, and the Manticore." from
which the Unicom Singers
emerged. Both groups are highly
praised for their eclectic, distinc-
tive music programs and skilled
musicianship and have become
two of the South Shore's most rec-
ognized and respected choruses.
For 25 years the two groups
rehearsed and performed at Broad
Cove House. The Eulers' former
home on Lincoln Street built by
one of Abraham Lincoln's ances-
tors. Upon taking up residence
there. Euler made it her priority to
check out the acoustics in the large
music room that was added to the
house in 1927.
Euler also founded and conduct-
ed several children's choirs and has
been music director for area theater
groups, including Hingham Civic
Music Theatre's acclaimed 1987
production of'Evita."
She conducted the Concord
Madrigals for 14 years and is an
enthusiastic member of the
American Choral Directors
Association. She also served on the
Massachusetts Arts Council and
the Hingham Arts Lottery Council
and was instrumental in the cre-
ation of festivals showcasing four
area women's choruses in 1988 at
the University of Massachusetts,
Boston, and in 1991 at Harvard
University.
The 20-plus member Chorale is
a close-knit group coming from a
variety of backgrounds. "The
friendships, fun. giggles, and chat-
ling over lunch with these fabulous
ladies has been one of the very best
parts of my life, way beyond the
joy of making music with like-
minded, talented, committed
females." Euler said
Oboist Sally Davenport who has
sung with the Chorale for some 1 5
years, called the experience "grab-
tying from an artistic point of view
and a lot of fun. I love working on
music that's both run and beautiful
as well as the camaraderie. We
have a great time doing it."
The music ranges from musicals
and parodies to classical numbers.
"Margo puts together a wonderful
concert. She has such a good eye
and ear. We have good program-
ming and a great conductor."
Davenport said. "Our accompanist
Lenae Badger is not only a won-
derful piano player but also a won-
derful singer."
The groups perform together in
October and February and sepa-
rately in December and in the
spring.
"We pride ourselves on our
unique style and the wide variety
of music that we perform, ranging
from Bach to Brahms and barber-
shop to Broadway, often from
memory and in costume." Euler

said. "We don't engage outside
soloists, which means we attract
excellent musicians who know
they will have lots of solo and
small ensemble opportunities."
Both groups rehearse at the
House of Prayer Lutheran
Church in South Hingham.
Besides her role as music
director. Euler is manager of the
Chorale and Unicom Singers.
"That frees the singers from
most of the committee work and
leaves them more time for
singing," she said.
Besides the four-concert annu-
al schedule. Chorale and
Unicom members sing at wed-
dings, club events, senior cen-
ters, and house tours. "They
work hard to delight and enrich
the lives of both the singers and
of the listening public of all ages
and tastes on the South Shore
and around Boston. " said Euler,
who lives in Hingham with her
"very understanding and sup-
portive husband." Fran*.
When she's not busy with
music, she is an avid Scrabble
player, reader, photographer, and
walker. The Eulers' two grown
daughters. Karen and Liesel. are
also artistic. Karen currently
sings with the Unicom Singers.
Longtime Chorale member
Lynn Anderson was encouraged
to join the group by Kathy
Reardon a number of years ago
when her children were young.
"We rehearse nine months of the
year, so I spend more lime with
these women than w ith some of
my friends." Anderson said.
"It's a diverse and interesting
group with varied interests,
ages, voice ranges, and back-
grounds. Some are involved
with various causes, some have
careers, and a few were bom in
Europe. I feel fortunate to have
this opportunity to sing with the
group and to have such an expe-
rience in a suburb."
Special send-off concerts planned

celebrating the completion of
its 30th season with a trip to
Santa Fe in June. The group

A Child's Secret to
Winning on Wall Street
Soccer kid's portfolio up 355% in six months
At 1 2 years of
P age. in his soccer
snorts, Christian
Powers is not
your average
Wall Street
investor. But
neither are his
hefty profits. Christian began trading
stocks just after his twelfth birthday
when his parents finally said he was old
enough. In his first six months.
Christian's portfolio was up 3S5%.
Software makes child's play of
mastering stocks
How does a 12-year-old generate triple-
digit gains that would be the envy of
almost any investor? Christians secret is
Wizetrade . a user-triendly software
program that tracks the supply and
demand of individual stocks and
graphically captures the stock's
movement. Once Christian sees the
historical trend — and the current
direction the stock has taken — he
forms his trading strategy.
Home schooled by his mom, Treva, an
e xperienced Wizctrader ", Christian was
introduced to Wizetrade" as part of his
general education. "It's important for
anyone to know good money
management" explains Treva.
Spreading the wealth
"We tell our friends that if you're
interested in stocks or ever consider
buying stocks, get Wizetrade " first
because you need to be able to sec
what's going on with the stock,"
says Treva.
Stock runs in the family
Christian's younger sister. Summer,
paper trades only, which means she uses
Wizetrade to assess theoretical trades
and then tracks their progress in real
time. It's how to become familiar with
Wizetrade without putting actual
funds into the market. "The first paper
trade she made is still successful, "says
her proud dad, Parris.
Dad's portfolio up 500+ percent
Christian has taken his "Wizetrading"
to heart — and to the bank. Christian's
mom and dad also use Wizetrade " and,
in fact, introduced him to the software.
His mom, Treva, says "My average over
the last 26 trades has been 12 to 13
percent gain." Christian's dad, Parris,
adds that with Wizetrade ", "Over the
last two years, I've probably increased
my asset (base) over 500 or 600
percent."
"It saved our retirement
account."
For the Powers family, it's not just
about making money. It's also about
protecting what they've earned. When
the U.S. stock market plunged three
years ago and investors lost trillions of
dollars, Parris says, "Our retirement
portfolio was not affected in one little
way by the movement that we saw in
the market in 2001 ... That's probably
the single most impressive thing about
Wizetrade " — it saved our
retirement account."
Wizetrade" was wise to Enron
Wizetrade™ focuses on the buying and
selling activity- in individual stocks.
"The great thing about Wizetrade " is
that if you follow the Wizetrade "
criteria, you'd never be trapped into a
stock like an Enron. The signals would
show up very quickly... you'd be out of
that stock long before it becomes a
liability like F.nron has become to so
many people in their retirement
portfolio," explains Parris.
Following slocks can be child's play.
Wizetrade'" shows if the market is bullish
or bearish on more than 27,000 stocks and
mutual funds — whether your investing
strategy is long term, intermediate, or
short term.
Life without Wizetrade " is not
an option
Treva says investing without the
advantage of Wizetrade " would be "like
a surgeon trying to do surgery without
his eyes. When you have Wizetrade"',
you can sec what's going on and choose
when to get in a stock and when to exit
the stock. We're just so pleased with it."
Parris adds, "Having traded stocks
beforehand, and now trading stocks
using Wizetrade , we would never
trade stocks or buy stocks without
using Wizetrade
Up $18,000 in two months
In May and June of 2002 when many
stocks were declining, Wizetrade'"
helped the Powers family identify stocks
that investors still had strong
confidence in. "Just watching those
stocks, and entering and exiting
according to Wizetrade" criteria, we
made over SI 8,000 in just those two
months," reports Parris.
Still, 12-year-old Christian is the
family's budding superstar. "He made
$720 a few days ago on one of his
trades. He's tickled," says Treva.
Christian doesn't hand out stock tips.
His advice to everyone is simply to give
Wizetrade ' a try. "Anybody can do it,"
predicts the successful young
Wizetrader".
The 2 Forces You Must Follow to Win on Wall Street
Anyone can be positioned to beat the market
if they harness the power of the two key factors
that rule Wall Street with an iron fist.
Wizetrade" shows the supply and demand pressures on stocks in real time,
positioning investors to capitalize on these two key market forces. Knowing
which side of the supply/demand "tug of war" to be on has proven to be a
significant advantage, and Wizetrade" lets investors track supply and
demand like a bloodhound.
Recognize a dramatic timing opportunity
A change in the balance of supply and demand is a classic timing
opportunity. That's why thousands of investors rely on Wizetrade'" to
monitor trading activity in real time. Wizetrade " displays easy-to-follow red
and green indicators that alert investors to making decisions regarding stocks
experiencing extreme supply and demand pressures.

On the South Shore
still in style
Vocal group plays Plymouth Sunday
The one thing that Tony Butala. founding member of "The
Lettermen" would have changed in the more than 45-year histo-
ry of the popular vocal group is a surprising one.
"We chose the wrong name." explained Butala from his home
in the California wine country last week. "In the late 1950s,
when you started a vocal group and wanted to stand out from the
crowd, all you had to do was use a novel name that would give
your group its UW0 unique look and image."
At a time when most pop singing groups had school-related
names like "The Four Freshmen" and "Trie Four Preps."
Butala's trio was given the moniker "The Lettermen." and the
appropriate letter sweaters to wear in concert. Before long the
name had become dated. The Lettermen already had a few hits,
however, and Columbia Records was reluctant to tamper with
success by changing the group's name as was Butala's wish.
The sweaters were moth-balled, but the name remained as the
group recorded a long list of hits including "The Way You Look
Tonight." "When I Fall In Love." Goin' Out of My Head/Can't
Take My Eyes Off You" and Hurt So Bad" which earned them
a legion of still-loyal fans.
Tlie Lettermen brim: their smooth vocal stylings to Plymouth
Memorial Hall on Sunday. May 22.
"We have changed over the years, but our tradition of vocal
harmony and positive love ballads continues." says Butala. "And
our own rule is to never dress below the level of our audience.
Our stage wardrobe is comprised of denim jeans for outdoor fes-
tivals and fairs, casual clothes for colleges and tuxedoes for
hotels with even glitzier garb for casino showrooms. And we
even still pull out the sweaters for a medley of our earliest hits."
The contents may vary, but the suitcases are always packed as
The Lettermen — now Butala Donovan Tea and Darren Dowler
— average some 100 concert dates each year and are booked
through 2007. They also still regularly release new albums.
"We're recording our 75th album. The Lettermen on
Broadway.' We found a whole new demographic a few years
back with The Lettermen at the Movies.' People of all ages
love Broadway music just as they love the music of the movies.
These albums have done very well for us."
As lead singer on all but two of the group's biggest hits — and
founder of the Vital Group Hall of Fame — Butala. 64. knows
something about doing well and enduring in an often tickle busi-
ness.
Tve been performing professionally since I was seven,"
explains the Pennsylvania native and father of four. "I'm more
charged up now than ever before, because I don't need the
money. I do it now because no other job comes with such instant
gratification. You can make a lot of money in other fields, but
you won't get a standing ovation or get asked for an autograph."

NAVIGATING CANAL INSTRUMENTS
In recent years, there has been Good hearing is crucial to corn-
considerable interest in canal- munication and the enjoyment of
style hearing instruments, which
are barely visible. There are two
types: in-the-canal (ITC) instru-
ments, which fill the outer half of
the ear canal; and complelely-in-
thc-canal instruments (CIC).
which penetrate deeper into the
inner half of the ear canal.
Because these small devices
place their microphones cither
within or at the entrance of the
ear canal, they arc able to take
advantage of the natural amplifi-
cation of the outer ear bowl. In
addition, because their receivers
arc located so near the eardrum,
less amplification is needed lo
produce the required amount of
pressure lo make hearing possi-
ble. As a result, distortion is
lower and feedback is less like to
occur.

Millennium bats
1 ,000 for a relaxing
cruise vacation
By MARK CHAPMAN
SPECIAL 10 THE HERALD
ST. thomas -Afternoon
serenity on my veranda on
the Celebrity Millennium
was shattered by a commotion
on the dock below. A group
including a couple of bikini-
clad girls were cackling loudly
-- one e\en rolling on the dock
in laughter -- at the antics of a
shirtless, middle aged man of
Faustian proportions who was
shouting at a security guard.
The man was carrying a
plastic cup «ilh a red liquid. It
was apparent that it was nei-
ther his nor his companions'
firsi beverage of the afternoon.
The group, mercifully, was
trying to board the wrong ship.
The right ship, for them,
apparently was the Carnival
Victory- docked a couple hun-
dred y ards sway.
The right ship lor us was
Celebrity's Millennium, ils 5-
year-old flagship.
Since the line's inception.
Celebrity has been all about
the food, the service, the class.
While other lines promise a
let-your-hair-down. what's-
done-here-siays-here vacation.
Celebrity would prefer its
guests keep their hair up. at
least in its public spaces. And
though that might send some
parry animals scrambling for
another cruise line, it makes
for a relaxing, less intimidating
and more sophisticated get-
away for those whose behavior
is more restrained.
Thai's not lo say the
Millennium is boring. Cosmos,
the ship's contemporary -sty le
dance club, jumps every nighi
with theme parties and disco
music untii the wee small
hours. And by day. there are
learning opportunities -- com-
puter classes, golf lessons,
mixology classes. floral
arranging and more -- as well
as card games, board games.
lots of Bingo, a deck band and
plenty of hcallh-and-litiiess
activities.
And then there's the food.
Celebrity has a long and
happy association with master
French chef Michel Rous, who
creates many of the recipes for
the line's 10 ships Roux's
influence is everywhere, from
the decadent desserts to the
rich wine list to the Olympic
Restaurant. Millennium's
amazing, alternative dining
venue. But I must say. having
cruised with the line beginning
1 1 y ears ago. that dinner in the
main dining room, though
good, is no longer head-and-
shoulders above the Competi-
tion,
The casual buffet restaurant
is also typical of most cruise
ships. But then there's the
Olympic Restaurant.
The Olympic is
Millennium's reservations-
only nod lo dining as an and
entertainment. As a harpist
plays softly in the background,
white-gloved waiters dole on
every table. Each course is
choreographed, Caesar salads

and ilessert flambes are done
tableside. There is an extensive
wine list. The food, including
the filet mignon. is exquisite.
The charge for all Ihis wonder-
fulness is $30 per person. A
chefs lasiing menu is also
available, each dish coming
with a recommended wine, for
an additional $27.
My intent on ihis weeklong
Caribbean cruise was to relax,
and it started with a little thing:
At Celebrity's Port Everglades
lerminal. the porters work on a
strict no-tipping policy. Check-
in was painless even at the
height of the rush.
My cabin was in what
Celebrity calls Concierge
Class, a relatively new catego-
ry that includes express lug-
gage delivery, a bottle of
sparkling wine in your room
upon arrival, fresh fruit and
fresh-cut flowers every day.
cold hors d'oeuvres each after-
noon, duvets and pillow-top
mattresses, double-thick Frette
bathrobes, early embarkation
and debarkation, dining and
seating preference and some
other minor goodies, such as a
choice of pillow type. For this
you pay about $50 to SI 20 per
person more than a deluxe
veranda cabin. (You also gel
slightly more room.)
One of my favorite things
about Celebrity is the lack of
public address announce-
ments. There are a few
throughout the day. but they
are kept to a minimum. It is
such a pleasure to not have to
listen to frequent exhortations
to head for the art auction or
the next bingo game. This
allows for such pursuits as
Jump ship for shopping, dining and touring adventures

SPECIAL TO THE HERALD
Some people take a cruise
mostly lo enjoy the ship. Some
of those people nev er set foot
on shore. On a ship like
Millennium, it is quite possible
to have a thoroughly enjoyable
time without prowling the
islands.
Other folks Choose their
cruises based on the itinerary.
Our Millennium route from Fori
l.auderdalc included San Juan.
Puerto Rico: St. Thomas, the
U.S. Virgin Islands: and Nassau.
Bahamas, all popular cruise ship
destinations, as well as the less
visited Dominican Republic.
The San Juan slop is all day
allowing plemy ofdme to check
out Old San Juan's wonderf ul
old Spanish architecture. It's a
w alkable cily if you are able to
handle some pretty steep hills. If
not. lake a coach tour. There are
beautiful buildings with open
courtyards, scenic cily squares
and excellent restaurants, all
condensed into less than one
square mile You also can check
out El Moito Castle, a protec-
tive fori lhat was buill from
153910 17X7.
Active sorts can catch a tour
bus to El Yunque rain forest, go
horseback riding or take a tour
ol the Bacardi Ruin distillery
(yes. there are free samples).
The ship also docks in St.
Thomas for a full day.
Passengers have lots of lime for
icvvelry and electronics bar^ain-
huntmg in Charlotte Amalie or a
trip acrOSi the island to the gor-
geous Magen's Bay beach. For
u-. liehling the crowds in the
shops - there can he as many as
seven ships in port at once -
holds no allure, but we headed
lo a hidden little restaurant
named CuzzhVs. Any laxi driver
can lake you there from the
dock for about %X
Nassau is another port that is
crowded with shoppers. We
headed lo Atlantis Resort on
Paradise Island Hie restaurant
and bar in the open-air pavilion
near the predator tank has the
best mudslides I've ever had.
The most interesting of the
pons, however; was Casa de
CampO in the Dominican
Republic, a spraw ling. 7.0m
acre resort lhat Golf Magazine
has called "the finest golf resort
in the world."
In addition to golf, the attrac-
tions here are horseback riding
and skeel shmling. taking a
catamaran ride or hilling the
beach. Or you can lour Altos de
Chavon. Three miles east of
Casa de Campo. Alios de
Chavotl is a replica of a
medieval Spanish village buill
by an Italian cinematographer
and now site of an artists
colony. The buildings are made
ot stone, the sireets cobblestone,
and the views breathtaking. The
artists colony is affiliated with
Parsons School of IX'sign in
New York Cily
The port call runs from I to
1 1 p.m.. so you can shoot some
skeel or take a horseback ride,

You goita love life ai sea.
At nighi. dinner was fol-
lowed by the show in the main
theater. The Millennium offers
four fully staged shows on the
seven-day Caribbean cruise,
more lhan most lines. This
should be a good thing, but
entertainment long has been
Celebrity's Achilles' heel, and
on Millennium it is still hit and
miss.
The most disappointing
show was the "Spectacle of
Broadway." narrated on video
by Joel Grey. The diminutive
actor "stands" center stage and
talks about Broadway to intro-
duce the evening, and the the
cast presented halfhearted ren-
ditions of poorly conceived
medleys from such shows as
"West Side Story." (They even
saniii/ed the lyrics of the cyni-
cal "America.")
At the end of the show, just
before the "Chorus Line"
finale, Grey is presented once
again and ends his monologue
by introducing the song "from
the longest-running musical in
Broadway history." Urn. can
someone say. "Needs an
update?" "Chorus Line" was
passed by "Cats," "Phantom of
the Opera" and "Les
Miserables" years ago.
The strangest show is
"Classique - A Musical
Odyssey." which easily could
be relilled "A Musical Oddity."
This show closely resembles a
fever dream.
"Faniasea." on the other
hand, is one of the week's
highlights, a Cirque du Soleil-
like show with aerial acts and
high-energy dancers (on some
Celebrity ships ihere is actual-
ly real Cirque entertainment
thanks to a new alliance with
the famous troupe). And "I
Love the Nightlife" is a pop
music lour de force lhat brings
out the best in ihe young cast.
Bui my heart really belongs
to Michael's Pub. the New
York-style piano bar that fea-
tured the marvelous Pamala
Stanley, a disco star in ihe "80s
who had major Billboard
dance chart hits. Now she's
playing piano and singing jazz,
show tunes, standards and pop
hits with the best of them.
That is the epitome of the
kind of experience vacationers
can expect from Millennium
and from Celebrity - laid back,
sophisticated and completely
memorable.

"Fired'" is no longer an adjec-
tive that goes before Paul
Murphy's name.
The Cohasset animal control
officer has been reinstated to
the part-time position. Monday
was his first day back on the
job.
Murphy sued the town and
former town manager Mark
Haddad for unfair termination
His reinstatement was part of
the settlement reached with the
town, according to Leonard H.
Kestcn of Brody. Hardoon.
Perkins and Kesten. which is
retained by the town's insur-
ance company to defend
claims.
Other terms of the settle-
ment, such as back pay. have
not been made public.
Haddad fired Murphy on
Oct. 20. 2003. the same day he
placed Sgl. William Quigley
and Officer James McLean on
paid administrative leave
Unlike the officers, who
returned to work the end of
June 2004. Murphy was not
protected bv a union or Civil

Haddad resigned last May

Full-day gets OK

By Samantha Brown
SAMBROWNS'CNC COM
Final enrollment figures have
been tallied and it looks as if the
Osgood School will provide full-
duy kindergarten for 80 students
beginning this September. With
12 students interested in a half-
day program so far. the numbers
are large enough that the half-day
program can run on its own.
much to the delight of parents.
During a recent informational
meeting for parents of soon-to-be
kindergartners. the idea ot com-
bining full-and half-day kinder-
garten students in the same class-
room was floated. At that time
final enrollment numbers were
not known, but it looked as if
there might not be enough half-
day students to necessitate an
entire class. Some parents said
they felt pressured to enroll their
children in the full-day program
when they were told half-day
students would be included in the
same class with full-day stu-
dents, and parents could dismiss
their halt-day students early.
However, the deadline to sign
up for kindergarten was May 18.
and now thai Hie final enrollment
numbers are in. Osgood
Principal Janel Sheehan said the
12 half-day student! who have
committed to the program are
enough to sustain one hall-day
classroom In addition, there is
always the possibility parents
will change their minds and want
to move from full-day to half-
day, or that new families will
move to town.

Memorial Day is a time for
the town to pay its respects to
veterans who have paid the ulli-
mate price in the name of free-
dom. For friends and family of
Cohasset resident Craig
Michael Simeone. Memorial
Day will likely bring mixed
emotions, as il marks with pride
the way he selllessly served his
country during the Vietnam
War. but is also the anniversary
of his dale of sacrifice.
Born March 7. 1948. Simeone
was born and raised in
Cohasset. He lived at 34
Bancroft Road and was a mem-
ber of the Cohasset High School
graduating class of l%6. He
was well-liked by his class-
mates and his best friend, for-
mer stale Sen. Bill Golden, said

ing and his aunt Anna
Abruzzese remembers how he
used to race his Barracuda (a
60s model sports carl in New
Hampshire on the weekends.
Perhaps it was his infectious
nature that led fellow classmate
and neighbor Maureen
Brennock to ask Simeone to he
her dale for the senior prom.
The two walked to school
together every day. and when
Brennock posed the question,
Simeone of course said yes.
But it wasn't jusi Simeone's
enthusiasm that drew friends lo
him. Golden said il was [he way
he would always go out of his
way to ensure everyone felt
included.

Violated Open Meeting Law
May 27. 2005
Page 3 I
Dispatcher harassment
case could go to trial
: Did not post for
selectman's
meeting
: By
SAMBROWN^C NC.COM
!The verdict is in ami the District
Attorney's office has ruled the
sewer commission violated the
9pen Meeting Law by not sepa-
rately posting for an April 4
selectmen's meeting at which all
commissioners were present.
However, the board of selectmen.
vt>hich was also mentioned in the
cpmplaint for not properly post-
ing the meeting on its end, has
been cleared of any violation.
"It is clear from
was
individual
of the sewer
commission and
not as a private
individual."
- Norfolk Cnumv DAs
Karen Quigley. 27 Clay Spring
Road, tiled the complaint with the
District Attorney's office on April
13. She believed selectmen vio-
lated the Open Meeting Law for
failing to post their meeting in a
timely manner. The meeting was
posted Friday. April I . While thai
technicalK met the 4X-hour noti-
fication required by theOpen
Meeting Law, Town Hall closes
4 1 p.m. on Friday, which may
have been too soon for residents
10 be properly informed before
the Monday night meeting.
"I believe the intent was to
avoid notifying those who might
voice an opposition." she wrote.
Quigley also pointed out select-
men's meetings are normally held
on a Tuesday and the Monday
meeting would not have been
expected, and traditionally, there
are no meetings held between
Town Meeting and Flection Day.
as was the case that week.
In addition, the meeting dealt
with the Cook Estate, which is a
highly controversial topic, and the
sewer commissioners were pre-
sent and answered questions per-
taining to sewer issues. Quigley \
complaint slates. To circumvent
the Open Meeting Law. these
commissioners sal in Ihe public
sealing area and -.poke as 'private
citizens.' However, they replied to
questions posed by the selectmen
only in regard to sewer issues."
Town Counsel Adam Simms
asserted in a letter sent to the DAs
office thai Sewer Commission
Chairman Ray Kasperowicz and
members John Beck and Sean
Cunning did not attend in their
official capacity due to ihe Fact
that they sat in Ihe public area Of
the meeting room and each stated
repeatedly that they were there to
express their own positions, and
nol ihe position of the hoard. He
added there were also no votes
taken at the meeting, and there-
fore ihe members should be seen
as individuals who attended Ihe
meeting as residents
However, the DAs office lis
tened to an audio lape of the
meeting and has ruled against
Town Counsel's opinion. Its
response said because all three
commissioners were present, and
all three participated in Ihe discus-
sion and answered questions
posed by the selectmen and resi-
dents, there was "clearly an
exchange of views as each mem-
ber heard whal the other had 10
say regarding their positions on
Various sewer mailers and could
base future answers on others'
responses.
"It is clear from the comments
that each member of the sewer
commission was speaking as an
individual member of the sewer
commission and nol as a private
individual. Each member was
asked his opinion about matters
within tile province of the sewer
commission and each member
offered his opinion on matters
w ithin the province of the sewer
commission." (he ruling states.
To remedy the situation, the
sewer commission must agree to
comply with the DAs finding in
the future. Second, because the
sewer commission did in fact
have a meeting the night of April
4. 'This office believes it is
appropriate for the sewer com-
mission lo comply w ith the Open
Meeting Law by creating minutes
of that meeting in compliance
With Ihe Open Meeting Law. so
lhal citizens may access a record
of ihe sewer commission's activj
lies at Ihe meeting. Such minutes
must he made available lor public
inspection, and a copy should he
forwarded to ihis office.*'
At the beginning of the April 4
meeting, Selectman Ralph
IXmnit/er questioned its legality
staling he was not thoroughly
convinced it had been posted
properly and could proceed.
Some members of Ihe hoard said
eilhei way. ihe meeting could pro-
ceed without breaking the Open
Meeting Law. as long as no voles
were laken and il remained infor-
mational After hearing the com
ments on the audio (ape, the DAs
office voiced a note ol caution.
"Il has long been ihe position of
this i illice lhal a meeting of a gov -
errtmenta] body occurs if any
public business over which the
governmental body has jurisdic-
tion is discussed or considered.
Thus, 'informational meetings'
require lhal Ihe governmental
hods comply with the Open
Meeling Law, including the 4X-
hour posting requirement."

An employee with attendance
problems? Or a victim of sexual
harassment?
It may take a jury to decide.
Former civilian dispatcher
Barbara De Wolfe, who claims she
was fired alter requesting a stress
leave due to harassment allegedly
inflicted on her by a sergeant who
regularly shared her shift has not
reached a settlement with the
town.
"She is pressing
forward on this and
connnence ax inai
the town of Cohasset
will be fully
vindicated."
— Attunes In nurd Keslen
According to Attorney Leonard
H. Kesten of Hrody. Hardoon.
Perkins and Kesten. which is
retained by ihe town's insurance
company lo defend claims, the
case is proceeding to trial,
Kesten said the tow n had a "per-
fectly legitimate attendance issue"
with De Wolfe.
Former Town Manager Mark
Haddail tired IX-Wolfe — who
had worked as a dispatcher for IS
months and had received two
prior, written reprimands about
attendance problems - - on Oct.
29. 2003 alter she called then
chief Robert Jackson lo say she
would be absent from her
assigned shift due lo child-care
problems. She did not report lor
thai shift.
The town filed an unemploy-
ment claim to that effect, but the
stale Department of Employment
and Training ruled that was not a
valid reason and awarded her ben-
efits, according lo DeWolfe's
lawyer Jim Ciapciak of C'iapciak
& Associates.
He said the termination letter
was delivered to her home before
she was even scheduled lor her
shift thai day. IX-Wolle believed
her termination was in retaliation
for making complaints with
respect io the harassment.
De Wolfe has claimed some offi-
cers watched adult-oriented cable
channels al the police station and
that Sgt. David Pomarico touched
her in an inappropriate and unwel-
come manner, by pulling her hair
and bringing his face close to hers
She claimed she did not feel sale
in such an environment and was
oftentimes alone w ith Pomarico
Romance retired last June and
could not he reached for com-
ment.
Kesien said DeWolfe's charges
Came as a shock to the police
department which had not had
any complaints about sexual
harassment. He explained with
only one dispatcher on a shift,
when someone doesn't show up
at 4 p.m. "it's a real problem."
"She is pressing forward on this
and we have every confidence at
trial the town ol Cohasset will be
fully vindicated." Kesten said
"There was nothing untoward
going on in the police department
other than some officers watching
mat ies on HBO in Ihe conference
room." At the time the department
subscribed to a cable-TV pack-
age, including HBO.
He said the sergeant's involve-
ment with IX- Wolfe was "not in
any way sexual " He said the only
thins: Pomarico watched on TV
was golf and black & white
Westerns.
Kesten said De Wolfe was nol
present when Pomarico shared
vacation photos with another
male at the station that included a
"joke photo" of him in the bufl
"The other male was laughing.
Kesten said.
He said il was a shame that a
police officer's career would be
tarnished by allegations of sexual
harassment "It's imponant to
have this trial, so the cili/ens of
Cohasset can see that he did noth-
ing like that."
Ciapciak. DcWoltc's attorney, is
also looking Forward to a trial. He
said (he officers were watching
more than jusi HBO The truth

Town Manager Bill Griffin
said he has been approached by
two different companies which
would like to sel up distributed
antenna systems, or DAS. in
town. The systems would be
creeled in lieu of cell phone low-
ers and would improve cell
phone reception, particularly in
the downtown area where it is
currently lacking.
Selectman Michael Sullivan
said he thinks looking into
implementing the technology is a
great idea.
' "So mans people rely on cell
phones" that it makes sense from
a basic safety standpoint to try to
improve cell phone reception in
town, he said He suggested
along with siudying aboul the
technology, the town look into
potential adverse impacts the
system could bring.
Griffin said he has also
received a proposal from a third
company which would like to
install a flag pole reception sys-
tem, which could service differ-
ent kinds of cell phones.
Selectman Gary Vanderweil said
lo look al both the DAS and
flagpole technologies and poten-
tially implement both to insure a
wide sanely ol cell phone plans
have enhanced reception
Selectman Ralph Dormitzet
said he has some experience-
working with the technologies
and would be happy to do some
due diligence on the mailer.
Griffin said he would also
encourage anyone with expertise
in ihis area to contact him in the

Parents flock to full-day
kindergarten program
FROM FULL-DAY, PAGE 1
we will exceed that," said
Sheehan, adding she has already
been contacted by two families
who are not yet registered but are
in the process of buying homes
in town, and will be registering
their children once they officially
move in. She said it is typical to
have four or five move-ins
throughout the summer months.
But the Cohasset schools are
trying to keep class sizes low,
which led the school committee
to vote in favor of capping all
four full-day kindergarten class-
es . That means any new families
that move to town will automati-
cally be placed in a half-day
class.
"I would not go higher than
20" students in a class, said
school committee member
Adrienne MacCarthy and the
school committee agreed. The
parents of the 80 students, who
enrolled in the full-day program,
put down a S 1 00 deposit and will
be assured a place in one of the
four, full-day classes. A wait list
will be started for additional stu-
dents, who would like to enroll in
The parents of the

program, put down

classes.
the lull-day class.
MacCarthy said she thinks
some parents put down the $I(K)
to make sure their child has a
place in the full-day class.
However, she said she wouldn't
be surprised if parents change
their minds once they are assured
the hall-day class will operate as
its own entity. If that happens,
slots in the full-day classes will
open up and changes can be
made, as long as there are no
more than 20 children in a class.
As a way to help boost educa-
tional opportunities for
Cohasset's youngest students as
well as the bottom line of the
budget, the school department
has chosen to offer a tuition-
based full-day kindergarten pro-
gram for the first time this fall.
Parents will pay $1,800
"tuition" to participate in the full-
day program for the year. With
80 students signed up, the pro-
gram could yield $144,000.
There is no charge for the half-
day program.
Fifty-five percent of
Massachusetts school districts
offer full-day kindergarten.
However, space and fiscal
resources have been the top two
barriers to implementing pro-
grams. With the movement of
the third grade up to the Deer
Hill school. Osgood has space to
accommodate full-day kinder-
garten.

day kindergarten please visit lite

Sheehan at (781 ) 383-6117.

Lights on

School Committee
Chairman Jamie Williams
said she has been attending
various meetings around low n
and has heard some negative
comments from residents who
say the lights are on at the
schools long after the build-
ings should be closed for the
day.
"I am not satisfied with the
feedback I'm getting on the
lights." she said. "If they're
on for no purpose, it's a waste
of money."
Although the lights must be
on for safety reasons in some
parts of the school, and while
custodians are cleaning at
night. Williams asked Town
Facilities Manager Brian
Adams if he could look into
ways lighting could be limit-
ed, therefore cutting back on
electricity and eliminating
some of the glow for nearby
neighbors. Adams said he
would look into the matter
and would he back with sug-
gestions at the June 1 3 School

Breathalyzers to help keep kids
safe during prom season
tomf
By Samantha Brown
SAMBHOWNeCNC COM
Students will be dressed to the
nines Friday (tonight) when they
are showcased on Cohasset
Common during the pre-pmin
gala. In the local red-carpet
c'vent, students will pose I'or the
Cameras of friends mid family
before heading off in trolleys to
me Vene/ia restaurant to dance
the night away.
But this year, before beginning
their night of fun. students in the
Class of 2003 will be asked to
take a breathalyzer test, which is
a practice thai has become
increasingly common in Other
area high schools. Towns such as
Hingham. Marshfield. Scituale
;ind Norwell have begun admin-
istering breathalyzers to students
altering school -related (tactions
to determine whether they are
under the influence of alcohol.
"We have already adopted .1
policy," said Cohassel Middle
High School Principal Jack
DeLoretlZO, and use of breatha-
lysers has already begun at
school functions. He said both he
and Assistant Principal Michael
Gill administered ihe test at the
junior/senior semi-formal and
Students and parents alike were
happy the measures had Iven
taken.
IX'Loren/o said by administer-
ing the breathalyzers, it lakes the
pressure off students to drink.
There are no worries about get-
ting caught and being kicked off
a sports team or watching a friend
Following the dance, students will arrive via
trolley for the post-prom party, which "locks
in" students at the high school for a night
full of planned activrtie
them safe.
gel caught. Parents can also feel
relieved knowing their children
will be having a great lime and
thai they will be safe
"This year was the best time
we've ever had." said
DeLorenzo of the semi-formal,
adding when it was time to go
home, the student's didn't want
to leave. He said he expects the
same will be true at Ihe prom, as
it always is.
"We're going to have a great
lime and great food." he said,
adding the Vene/ia Restaurant in
Dorchester has a beautiful view
of the Boston skyline, which
weather permitting, students will
be able to enjoy from an outside
balcony.
Following the dance, students
w ill arrive v ia trolley for the post-
prom party, which "locks in" Stu-
dents .11 ihe high school for a
nighi lull of planned activities
iniended to keep them sale. The
details of the party are kept secret
to surprise those who attend.
This year's party will run mini
midnight to 5 a.m.
The issue of implementing
breathalyzers at school functions
surfaced due in pari to ihe events
at last year's post prom p;irty
where seniors found a way to
sneak alcohol into the school
beforehand. During the day.
while Ilk- school was kept open to
allow underclassmen Do view the
decorations for the party, some
students apparently hid alcohol in
lockem and in the plains, and
some had alcohol taped to iheir
legs when the came to the party,
according to reports. This year,
students are being required to
sign a COtltrtct which specifically
says they pledge to remain drug
and alcohol tree throughout the
entire evening, and new precau-
tions such us the breathaly /er are
being implemented,
"livery one's backpack is
going to be searched." said
Lynn Durkin. one of Ihe parents
organizing the post-pmm party.
She added ch.iperones are being
thoroughly informed of their
responsibilities and lhal even
without the breathalyzers. 99
percent of the opportunities stu-
dents would have had to drink
during Ihe event have been
eliminated.
In addition, Durkin said there
will be two police officers and
two firefighters hired for Ihe
evening us well as one custodian.
There will also he 1 5 chaperones
on duty.
Post prom and/or post gradua-
tion night-long events have
gmwn in popularity in many
lOWTIS over the paM decade as a
way to prevent the drinking thai
is often seen as a rite of passage
for teenagers. Ihe post-prom
party is being privately funded
and organized by parents, and is
not a school- spun sored function.
The event has been approved by
ihe school committee.
Police Chief James Hussey
said he is glad to heat the schools
will be using breathalyzers, hm
said he would have been against
any member i >i the police depart-
ment overseeing Ihe tests
because they are being given in
an administrative Cushion. He
suid in cases where there are
potential criminal actions taking
place, such .is a teenage driver
being pulled over for suspected
drunken driving, then it is the job
of un officer to take the necessary
precautions and administer a
breathalyzer However, he said
he docs not feel ii is the role of an
officer io administer the test us a
precautionary measure.
"When the) (breathalyzers) are
not being used for a criminal
mailer, il should come from the
school administration." he said.
Hussey added if students are
found to be drinking and a police
officer is needed. Ihe department
will be ready and willing to help.

Fire alarm during

Residents watching Tuesday's
selectmen's meeting may have
been confused when the meeting
was abruptly adjourned and the
cameras were shut off . Although
the audio may not have picked it
up. the building's fire alarm was
blazing in the background, which
led everyone at Town Hall to
evacuate. There was no fire and
the incident was ruled a false
alarm, which could have been
caused by a disturbance with the
wiring in the old part of the
building that Town Hall employ-
ees say often acts up in the wind
or rain and has even been tripped
by a mouse in the past. The
meeting was put on hold lui

Local effort helps inner-city children go to summer camp
Group works with
Boys & Girls Clubs
By!
SAMBR0WNOCNC.COM
While children in Cohasset are
busy attending swimming lessons
and heading off to Sandy Beach
this summer, many of their peers
who live in the inner-city will not
be as fortunate. In neighborhoods
filled with violence, there aren't
always opportunities to take part in
safe and fun activities, but
Cohasset families have banded
together to help make that happen.
* In conjunction with the Boys
Girls Clubs of Boston,
residents Lisa Westcott,
ly Brown. Kristen Astley. and
Carrabes formed the
committee to promote
and raise money for the
's Roxbury Club Summer
The money raised pays
tuition for children to attend
camp during the summer
Jnonihs.
; On May 19. Westcott and her
-husband Michael opened their
home on River Road to roughly 50
other Cohasset residents for a
fund-raiser, during which informa-
tion was provided on the camp and
stories were shared about how
beneficial it is for children living in
Roxbury. Linda Whitlock.
^President and CEO of BGCB.
jlong with staff from the Roxbury
Sub, including Executive
rector Andrea Swain, spoke
during the event about (he urgent
need for safe and affordable places
for the city's youth to spend the
increasingly violent summer
months.
"This is one of those things
where you look around and think
of your own kids," said Westcott,
adding in Cohasset children can
hop on their bikes and ride to a
friend's house and "you really
don't have to think about it."
However, for children in Roxbury
just 18 miles away. "The situation
is very different"
While children in Cohasset are
often enrolled in many different
summer programs. Westcott said
the price of the camp in Roxbury
is sometimes more than families
can afford.
"For some families it comes
down to. we can eat or go to
camp." she said.
During the school year, the
Roxbury Club has an after-school
program which costs families $25
total to enroll. However, where
the summer camp program is an
all-day program, families are
charged $490 for seven weeks,
$280 for four weeks, and $ 1 40 for
two weeks.
Westcott said many families
have parents that work full time,
and during the summer, the
Roxbury camp provides an alter-
native to staying home alone when
it might not be safe to play outside,
or getting into trouble. She said
the Boys and Girls Clubs have
long been seen as a "sate haven"
for children, and when outbursts of
violence erupted in the city last

The 'nays' have it on override votes
May 27. 2005

' FROM OVERRIDE. PAGE 1
campaigns and another car sport-
ed a makeshift "vote yes" poster
drawn on a piece of gray card-
board.
Leonora lee" Jenkins, presi-
dent of Cohasset Concerned
Taxpayers, which opposed the
override, said the schools did not
make a convincing case.
"They just put in a brand-new
administrative position while
they're talking about laying off
teachers." she said about the new
middle school principal post.
"That's unconscionable."
Jenkins also pointed out tlx:
findings and recommendations of
the Cohasset School Budget
Investigation Committee present-
ed at Town Meeting may have
had an impact. The findings
included enumerating systemic
budgetary problems such as poor
monitoring, weak communica-
tion, and insufficient oversight
"Those findings, the approval of
two Warrant articles at Town
Meeting requiring monthly
reports on all budgets and
accounts and b\ not approving
the override — residents have
demonstrated, without a shadow
of adoubt. they require tlieir elect-
ed officials have their highly paid
management personnel praujice
fiscal responsibility." Jenkins
said. 'This is the time for us all fti
come together to ensure that our
educational dollars are being
properly spent in the classroom in
order to continue » ith our goal of
excellence in education."
Sarah Porter, who is president ol
the PSO and a member of the
Preserve Town Services
Committee that sent a town- Wide
mailing urging a "yes" v ote on the
override, said she does not think
tin-- defeat reflects an anu-schixil
vote.
"There are people in this town
who are truly burdened b> their
taxes and those people turned out
to vole." she said. There arc also
people new to tlx.- schools who
perhaps are not aware of how
hard we have to fight for the
schools their children now attend
and who did not turnout to vote."
Porter lakes issue with people
who think the school department
budget is wasteful.
"As president of tlx- PSO. I
attend every school committee
meeting and followed the budget
process closely, and claims of
large-scale waste in the magni-
tude of $400,000 simply cannot
be supported.
"The school budget process is
public," Porter said. "I urge the
public to attend school committee
meetings and educate themselves
so that we may finally lay these
claims lo rest and move forward
with the public responsibility of
educating chit children."
School Committee Chairman
Jamie Williams said she feels ris-
ing taxes and the town's debt ratio
led lo ihe override's defeat.
She explaitK.-d in total $420,000
• in cuts were made to the proposed
tiscal 2(X)6 school budget that
was presented and approved at
Town Meeting which was still
$4<X),(XX) less than the schools
needed
'To our disappointment, the
override was not passed, leaving
us with difficult and challenging
decisions to make." Williams
said.
She said the next step is for the
school committee to talk to other
town officials and at special Town
Meeting to determine how much
of the VHX).(XX) mast be absorbed
by the schools
Griffin, the town manager,
explained the budget gap figure
could change. He said both the
House and Senate have approved
a local aid budget that would
increase funding to Cohasset by
about $75,000 over the gover-
nor's proposal.
"If thai funding level is
approved, we should then have a
funding gap of $325,000," he
said.
He also said before returning to
a special Town Meeting, final
new growth figures for fiscal
2(XK> and local receipt totals for
fiscal 2(X)5 could also close some
of Ihe gap. but he does not expect
those number, will come in sig-
nificantly over what was project-
ed when Ihe budget was
approved.
The only way to avoid a spe-
cial Town Meeting is to have
these other sources of funds make
up the entire revenue gap. and thai
is very, very unlikely." Griffin
said.
The Senate Ways and Means
Committee has proposed an addi-
tional $55 million in education
aid, but it is unclear if that would
be ultimately approved and
whether a town like Cohasset
would receive any of the funding.
Griffin said.
He explained thai oiher towns
approve budgets without assum-
ing passage of an override. In
other words, they pass the budget
and then amend it to include the
items to be added or restored sub-
ject to a successful override.
"If the override fails, the amend-
ment is set aside; you have a bal-
anced budget and there is no need
to return to special Town
Meeting," Griffin said. He noted
when he came to Cohasset. he
was told it has been the practice lo
vote a budget at the annual Town
Meeting that assumes passage of
the ovemde. In the event the over-
ride fails, voters go hack to a spe-
cial Town Meeting to adjust the
budget as necessary.
Regarding the $13.2 million
debt exclusion, Richard Brooks of
Nichols Road, a vocal proponent
of the town subsidizing 50 per-
cent of the projects, said he was
not surprised by the outcome.
He said increases in property tax
bills and soaring water rates were
too much for most residents who
were determined "to vote no on
anything in sight."
Brooks also said the residents,
who will gel the new sewer, did-
n't conduct an adequate voter-
education campaign on the fair-
ness of the 50-50 shared cost.
He said he expects the 50-50
issue will be revisited at some
future forum. Brooks also sup-
ports a cost-sharing plan for those
homeowner,, who wool be tied
into the sewer, but who have to
repair or replace their septic sys-
tems.
Rash back: The last time
Cohasset held a special election
for a Prop. 2-1/2 override was in
1999. Voters thai year by a 60-tO-
40 percent margin turned down a
$766,000 override at the regular
Town Election to balance the bud-
get passed at the annual Town
Meeting. Selectmen subsequently
decided to bring back a menu of
override options to the voters to
see if they would support a lower
figure.

Opinion
A 'no-no'
Cohasset VCtCR have spoken in a resounding fashion thai they
have no appetite for an override this year The amount of the over-
ride and margin of votes, in our view, would make another
attempt at a lower figure fruitless.
St) what's next''
A special Town Meeting will be required to balance the budget
that was approved at the annual Town Meeting with the assump-
tion the ov erride w ould pass.
In the intervening w eeks, town officials w ill hav e to hammer out
how they want the S400.(XK) cuts to he apportioned and make
that recommendation to voters at the Special Town Meeting.
It's not clear, at this stage, if the schools w ill shoulder tlx; entire
$400000 reduction.
According to Tow n Manager Bill Griffin, increased stale aid
could low er the amount the budget needs to he reduced. That
would certainly be welcome news
We don't think Saturday s vote was "anti -school." In fact, we
believe Cohasset residents care a great deal about their schools.
One only has to look at the new. and refurbished and expanded
scliool building-., lo realize thai. Nrfatets have also stepped up to the
plate year after year to approve overrides, which in large part went
to the schools;
This time, however, thev said thev d hail enough.
As the old adage savs. when one door closes - another one
opens. The events of the weekend pn«\ ide an Opportunity for
renewed creativ ity. energy and openness, and lor everyone to
work together to find ways to live within the limits of Prop. 2-1/2.
Nothing should be "oft" the table, And the town and schools
should not be pitted against one another
We're ail in this together and we'll be looking toward our elect-
ed and appointed representatives to provide the leadership to
move as forw ard.
Rain, rain
Enough already!
We're going to indulge ourselves in some serious complaining.
We don't live in New England to experience what life is like in
rainy Seattle.
Nor we do live here to have winters thai rival International Falls.
Minn.
We're tired of being cold and the damp is getting into our bones
In short, our weather has been miserable lately.
Nothing ails us that a few weeks of 75-degree. non-humid, w itli-
pleniv-ol -sunshine days wouldn't cure.
In odier words, we could use a good-sized dose of San Diego.
We realize there's not much we can do about the weather, which
has a definite mind of its own.
But somehow - after the coldest spring and snowiest winter in
recent memory - nxianing about the situation seems to help. . .a
little, anyway.
So pardon us and we'll excuse you when we hear complaints
about the hand Mother Nature has dealt us. Go ahead and vent!
Let it all out
There arc bigger problems in the world, we know. And it's
important that we all keep our sense of humor during this meteo-
rological rough patch.
The silver lining in this storm cloud is that we'll really appreci-
ate the good weather when it arrives!

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Offended by comments
about assistant principal
TO THE EDITOR
While I disagree with many tilings Leonora
Jenkins wrote in her commentary printed in the
May 2(Hh Mariner. I am offended by her com-
ment regarding our new Middle School
Assistant Principal. Elizabeth Siemala. Ms.
Jenkins referred to Ms. Stemalu as "a perky
new administrator fresh out of a master's pro-
gram to coordinate afier-sclKxil clubs." This
comment reveals an utter lack of respect for
Ms. Stemala as a professional and a complete
lack of knowledge of the requirements of the
middle school assistant principal position.
A search committee made up of the
Superintendent, two principals, the middle
school guidance counselor, two middle school
teacheni and two parents reviewed the qualifi-
cations of 34 applicants tor the position of mid-
dle school assistant principal. After several
interviews and site visits, it was clear that
Elizabeth Stemala was our chosen candidate.
She is a graduate of Colgate University where
she majored in psychology and minored in
education. She taught science at the Pollard
Middle School in Needham and did her admin-
istrative internship at the Pierce School in
Milton. That masters program to which Ms.
Jenkins refers happens to be a Masters in
Education from Harvard University. The posi-
tion that Ms. Stemala is taking on, far from
being "a coordinat|or| of after-sch<xil pro-
grams," entails curriculum review and devel-
opment, teacher evaluation, scheduling, and
discipline, just to name a few areas for which
Ms. Stemala will be responsible.
I am disheartened that in this day and age any
professional woman would be referred to in
such a disparaging manner, but especially a
professional woman wholly unknown to this
town and possessing such stellar qualifications
for the position she will hold here. I am even
more disheartened that the Mariner would
choose to foster the atmosphere of disrespect
that permeates this town by printing Ms.
Jenkins' commentary as written.

School budget
must stay within 2-1/2
TO THE EDITOR;
The voters of Cohasset have said
"ENOUGH"! The schools now have to be
responsible and open with their budget
process. They also must cut their
extremely rich budget. For a school sys-
tem with only 1,500+/- students we don't
need four principals, three should be able
to handle the responsibilities. We certain-
ly do not need any assistant principals.
We do not need extra teachers funded by
private donations to be paid for by the tax-
payers either for salaries or benefits. We
do not need a full time curriculum coordi-
nator either. For 1 .500 +/- students a part-
time coordinator for eight hours per week
should be sufficient. The above budget
adjustments will easily save $400,000
from the school over-budget.
The school committee must inform the
superintendent of schools that she must
stay within Proposition 2-1/2. If she can-
not she should be replaced for incompe-
tence. The Cohasset school system has
been overspending for years and without
the results that that spending should have
achieved. The gene pool in Cohasset is
very strong.
For the schools to even suggest that the
rest of the Town budget pick up any of the
$400,000 is ridiculous. However, all
Town department heads should be put on
notice that there will be no spending over
budget unless it is a proven emergency. If
a Town department head overspends
his/her budget they should be replaced. It
is time that the taxpayers hold elected offi-
cials accountable for overspending.
We should remember that the schools
paid the former superintendent a "golden"
bonus when he departed our school sys-
tem. Where did that money come from?
It was not budgeted because we have had
deficits for the past number of years.
Those members of the school committee
who approved those payments should be-
held accountable.
We should all remember that there arc
only approximately 2.900 tax payers in
Town to support our Tow n operations. All
those who spend our money must be held
accountable.

The Cohasset Police
Department supports "Click It or
Ticket" campaign.
The Cohasset Police
Department has joined more than
280 Massachusetts local police
departments and the Suite Police
in support of the May 2005
Mobilization of the Governor's
Highway Safety Bureau's
(GHSBi "Click It or Ticket-
Campaign through June 5. The
GHSB is a program of the
Executive Office of Public
Safely.
Those using Massachusetts
roadways during this May Click
It or Ticket Mobilization should
drive sober and well-rested, obey
posted speed limits, and be prop-
erly buckled up. We are serious
about saving lives by vigorously
enforcing all traffic laws, in par-
ticular those involving safety
bells and child safety seats, dur-
ing this mobilization and all
year-round.
The GHSB's Click It or Ticket
Campaign, made possible by a
federal highway safety grant,
involves the close coordination
of extra state and local traffic
enforcement, public information,
and community education. For
more campaign information,
including a growing photo
library of safety belt educational
efforts by local police, go to

Since its inception in
November 2002. the Click It or
Ticket Campaign has had a posi-
tive impact on highway safety in
Massachusetts. Safety belt use in,
the state increased by 1 2 percent'
between 2002 and 2(XM to 6.T
percent, the highest rate eva
recorded. However, the
Massachusetts safety belt use
rate compares unfavorably to the
national use rate at 80 percent as'
of 2004.

Shedding light on clearing process
Tom Gruber & Mark Brennan
As you read this the clearing should have s(aned
along (he railroad right of way. It is (he MBTA's
imention to clear from (he Sciluale line, moving
(oward Hingham. However, recently the
MassachuseUs Depar(men( of Environmental
Pro(ec(ion no(ified (he MBTA (hai (he wetlands in
me vicinity of Lincoln Lane are (he habital of a rare
turtle. No construction activities can take place in
these wedands until after July I . Otherwise, the
endangered turtles will be jeopardized. So. (he clear-
ing will s(ar( a( Beechwood Stree( and move toward
Scituate up to the turtle habital. And from
Beechwood. clearing will move toward the
Hingham line.
One of the things you may notice is iha( in some
places the width of the clearing is much wider than at
other places. In general, the reason for (his is (o
enhance safety a( (he railroad crossings. Since the (rains
will not sound (heir horns when approaching crossings
for (he entire Greenbush line, visibility down the track
from each stree( crossing becomes extremely impor-
tant. Thus, in the areas adjacent to crossings, (he trees
and undergrowth will be cleared quite a bit wider than
in the areas where there is no crossing.
In simple terms, the MBTA's design standards
In simple terms, the I
design standards call for. a
cleared swath 70-feet wide at
ach crossing, tapering down to
30-feet wide 1,000 feet away
from the crossing in either
direction.
call for a cleared swath 70-feel wide a( each cross-
ing, (apering down to 30-feet wide 1,000 feet away
from the crossing in either direction. The MBTA
will try to adhere to this clearing standard whenev-
er»f)ossible. without specifically taking more land.
So, even though (he clearing away from (he grade
crossings will be about 30-feet wide ( 13 feet either
side of the center of the tracks), there will be areas
a( the crossings where it can be as wide as 70 feet
(35 feet either side of the train tracks).
If you live near (he rail bed you will also notice
that the clearing process is a very noisy process.
The good news is that this is a very temporary situ-
ation that will soon be finished. In fact, they move
so fast that by the time you read this, they could be
past (he Town Parking Lo( wi(h (he clearing.
Several abutters to the right of way have questioned
the tree markings associated with the clearing
activity. We continue to work with (he MBTA on
these issues. If you have any questions on (his
t'c, please let us know,
e have also jus( received information that the
MBTA will be starting work on (he new bridge (hat
will connect Rocky Lane (o North Main S(reet. (The
present entry way to Rocky Lane will ultimately be
closed at the (rain (racks.) When (he clearing
machinery gels to (he wooded area four houses
South of the present Rocky Lane roadway, il will
lake a left (um and go (hrough to North Main Street
Don't be alarmed, (he MBTA is not off course. This
is to clear the area where the bridge is (o be con-
structed. Present plans call for excavation to begin
for bridge construction around the week of June
13th. The footings will be constructed about two
weeks later with bridge abutments being construct-
ed toward the end of July.
As we discussed in our Mariner article two weeks
ago. clearing is a very dangerous process. Please
warn all children to stay away from the equipment
and to stay off of the entire railroad right of way.

HEALTH NOTES
Swimming should be germ-free fun
By Steve Bo bo
SPECIAL TO THE MARINER
Now that (he spring weather is phasing ou(. we can
(hink about swimming. One of (he most popular
activities in the country, it's a fun, active, and healthy
way to spend leisure time.
Every year, millions of people visit "recreational
water" sites, such as swimming pools, water parks,
hot tubs, lakes, rivers, or the ocean. Over the past
century, the use of modem disinfecting systems in
pools and environmental improvements in our lakes,
rivers, and oceans has improved the quality of recre-
ational water.
But despite (his, (here has been an increase over (he
past decade in the number of ouibreaks of illness
associated with swimming. Here are a few dos and
don'ts for those going lo local pools and water parks.
Tips about swimming in pools from the Center for
Disease Control
• Don'( swim in a pool when you have diarrhea.
This is especially important for kids in diapers.
You can spread germs in the water and make other
people sick.
• Don't swallow the pool water. In fad. avoid getting
water in your mouth.
• Practice good hygiene. Take a shower before
swimming and wash your hands after using the toilet
or changing diapers. Germs on your body end up in
the water.
• Take kids on bathroom breaks or check diapers
often. Waiting to hear "I have to go" may mean it's
too late.
• Change diapers in a bathroom and not at poolside.
Germs can spread to surfaces and objects in and
There has been an increase over the
past decade in the number of
outbreaks of illness associated with
around the pool and spread illness.
Although it's true that germs are killed by chlorine,
chlorine doesn't work right away. It lakes time to kill
germs and some germs like Cryptosporidium are
chlorine resistant and can live in pools for days. This
is why even the best-mainiained pools can spread ill-
ness. Therefore, healthy swimming behaviors will
protect you and your kids and help*(op germs from
getting in the pool in the first place.
EPA hints on beach-going
There are several things that you can do to improve
the quality of water a( (he beach. For example, you
can become involved as a responsible citizen to
reduce pollutants that can wash into the water. Even
if you don't live at or near the beach, you can still pro-
tect (he water quality by learning how pollution in
your local stream or watershed affects water quality
a( downstream beaches.
Learn - Since many factors affect the water quality
at the beach, it is important for you to know about the
environmental conditions that affect water quality.
The EPA has a brochure entitled "Before You Go to
(he Beach..." http://www.epa.gov/
beaclW30cwabeach.pdf
This brochure tells you whal you need (o know
about beach water pollution, the health risks associ-
ated with swimming in polluted water, and who to
contact If you think the water at the beach is conta-
minated.
Get Involved in Beach Protection and Clean Up
Programs — There are many ways to get involved
in protecting the nation's beaches from water pollu-
tion. Getting involved in a local clean up effort or
other beach protection program is a great way to
assist federal, state, and local officials in protecting
your health while swimming at the beach.
Protect Coastal Waters from N on point Source
Pollution — When rain falls or snow melts, the
seemingly negligible amounts of chemicals and
other pollutants around your home and lav>n get
picked up and carried through storm drains lo (he
local waterway.
Contact the Board of Health for a list of specif-
ic "dos" and "don'ts" (ha( will help you reduce
nonpoint source pollution and become pan ot the
solution lo keeping beach water clean.
Participate in the Cohasset Citizen's Voluntary
Monitoring Program — A( the Cohasset Center
for Student Coastal Research, people are learning
about water quality issues and helping protect (he
nation's water resources by becoming volunteer
water quality monitors. Volunteers analyze water
samples for dissolved oxygen, nutrients, pH and
temperature; evaluate the health of stream habitats
and aquatic biological communities: inventory
amhank conditions and land uses that may affect
quality; catalog and collect beach debris; and
restore degraded habitats.

Former animal control
officer gets his job back
Legion charges not prosecuted

Haddad said he fired Murphs
due to numerous complaints.
But Murphy, who was present-
ed with u terse one-paragraph
termination letter and was
escorted off town property in a
police car w ithout the ability to
eel his personal belongings,
said he was never told of any
complaints about his work or
given any progressive disci-
pline.
According to Murphy "s com-
plaint. Murphy claimed he was
dismissed for expressing his
opinion while off-duty to an
assistant owner of a local busi-
ness that Jackson was not
meeting expectations.
Until his termination.
Murphy had served as animal
control officer in Cohasset for
five years and had been reap-
pointed each of those years. He
also serves as the animal con-
trol officer in Norwell.
fown Manager Bill Griffin
said he reinstated Murphy. "It
was part of his settlement with
the town." Griffin said.
Griffin said the position is
currently budgeted for 25
hours per week but will be
"It was part of his
settlement with the
town."
— Town Manager Bill Griffin
reduced to 20 as of July I . as
one of the budget cuts the town
has made for fiscal 2006.
Murphv's hourlv rate for fiscal
:(M)6 is SI 3.24.
The animal control officer is
an annual appointment on May
I; Al Currie's term expired at
the end of April. Currie, whom
Haddad hired to replace
Murphy, is also the animal
control officer in Hingham.
"Chief iJames) Husse)
informed Currie that due to
Murphy's return, his appoint-
ment would not be renewed."
Griffin said.
Husse> said Currie's not
being reappointed had nothing
to do with his performance.
"It is my understanding when
he took the position he under-
stood the potential for this hap-
pening down the road."
Hussey said.
Hussey. who said he sat
down with Murphy a couple of
weeks ago. said Murphy has a
great deal of know ledge in the
area of animal control.
"He has already hit the
ground running and will help
ensure we provide the neces-
sary service to the town."
Hussey said. "I look forward to
working with him and think he
will do a great job."
Murphy 's reinstatement clos-
es another chapter in the ongo-
ing "police saga" that involved
the Sgt. Quigley and Officer
McLean. The officers, who
were accused of misconduct,
denied all allegations of
wrongdoing.
The officers claim the town's
disciplinary action was in
retaliation for their actions rel-
ative to the former police chief
Jackson's family, although
Haddad denied (hat had any-
thing to do with the discipli-
nary action.
The two were subjected to a
public hearing process, during
which the town presented its
case against the officers over
three days. The hearings were
cancelled to enter into a 45-day
"eooling-off period" before the
town finished and officers
could present their side.
Quigley filed a civil suit
against Haddad and Jackson
personally and the town for
interfering with Quigley 's
employment as a police officer
and invading his privacy. The
town hired a private detective
to look into Quigley's back-
ground. The town and Quigley
reached a settlement last fall,
the details of which were not
made public.

The arrest of three young men
after an alleged light outside tbe
American Legion Hall on
Summer Street 18 months ago
set in motion a series of events
that literally turned the town
upside down.
The incident initially captured
interest because it involved the
arrest of then police chief Robert
Jackson's son. Keith Jackson,
and propelled then Town
Manager Mark Haddad to sus-
pend the arresting officer.
The news grabbed headlines.
But behind the scenes, the
arrests involved a coun proce-
dural issue that has wended its
way all the way to the state
Supreme Judicial Court, which
has just ruled that at that time a
clerk magistrate or court could
not interfere with an arrest by not
tiling the charges.
To understand the issue, the
clock needs to be turned back to
October 2003. when a drama
unfolded at Quincy District
Court involving the arrest of
Keith Jackson. Jerry Cogill and
Adam Thibault. who were all
charged with malicious destruc-
tion of property valued over $250
(damage to the handicap railing
at the Legion); affray (fighting)
and disorderly conduct.
Then police pnisecutor Rick
Grassie. acting on a letter on
Legion letterhead provided by
Jackson's attorney Ron Rice stat-
ing the railing was already dam-
aged, did not tile the complaints.
First Assistant District Attorney
Dennis Mahoney stepped in
when none of the charges were
filed.

removed Grassie as prosecutor.

the three on the charge of mali-
cious destruction.
But Coven did not to proceed
with the misdemeanor charges of
disorderly conduct and affray;
Mahoney appealed that decision.
Superior Court Judge Robert J.
Cordy later upheld Coven's deci-
sion not to go forward with the
misdemeanor charges. But in a 6-
0 ruling on May 10. the Supreme
Judicial Court reversed that rul-
ing and directed the district court
to issue the complaints.
Hie ruling states it agrees with
the District Attorney that "when
an individual has been arrested, it
is the duly of the clerk magistrate
to issue the complaint When he
fails to do so. the court must
order the complaints to issue
without any further consideration
of probable cause."
According to Jackson's attor-
ney Ron Rice, the rules changed
last fall allowing clerk magis-
trates not to issue charges if there
is no probable cause, but they
were not in effect during the time
period in question
In a related matter, the cfuirges
of affray and disorderly conduct
facing the three men. who are all
in the 20s. will not be filed on the
recommendation of Mahoney. ,
According to court papers',
Mahoney said the DA's office
does not intend to prosecuttt
Mahoney staled the men have no
prior court convictions and they
have stayed out of trouble during
1 8 months since the Legion inci-
dent. Mahoney also stated if the
charges had been brought for-
ward after the incident, a typical
disposition would have been
either a dismissal with costs or
pretrial probation for a time peri-
od that would certainly have
expired by now.
The Supreme Judicial Court's
ruling slates. "In the unusual pos-
ture of this case, the issuance of
the complaints was presented to
the judge. He. therefore, stood in
the shoes of the clerk-magistrate
and had no greater authority in
the circumstances.
"Neither the clerk-magistrate
nor the judge had authority to
make a determination of probin
ble cause at this stage of the pro-
ceeding."
The ruling further stales the
arrest being an accomplished
fact does nol require the clerk to
approve the validity of the arrest
or assess the potential strength of
the prosecution.
The judges staled their ruling
expresses no opinion on whether
there was probable cause but
merely agrees thai the proceed-
ings on those complaints should
have continued on their normal
course.
Sgt. William Quigley. the
arresting officer, was placed on
paid administrative leave rough-
ly 10 days after the Legion inci-
dent on Oct. 20. 2003. He was
reinstated at the end of last June.
Attorney Rice said the District
Attorney ultimately did not pros-
ecute the three men on charge of
malicious destruction of propern
because it could not be proved

Stay away from the right-of-way
Safety is a
top concern
By Samantha Brown
SAMBROWN9CNC.COM
Tree clearing has begun in
(he railroad right-of-way,
which will one day see trains
from the Greenbush line
whizzing by. While for the
moment Cohasset residents
might think the cleared rail bed
is an ideal place to walk or go
exploring, town liaisons to the
MBTA, Tom Gruber and Mark
Brennan, said residents should
be warned, they should not
enter the right-of-way for any
reason.
During this time of construc-
tion. Gruber said the landscape
will change from day to day
and there are many different
types of equipment that can be
very dangerous. While he said
he knows the rail bed used to
be utilized by a number of res-
idents, it is no longer a safe
place.
"Where you walked yester-
day could be a trench tomor-
row," he said, and the potential
exists for someone to get real-
ly hurt.
Gruber said during clearing,
the machines which take down
the trees are so powerful no
one is allowed within 150 feet
of the apparatus. He said
MBTA workers had to call the
police during clearing last
week because an on-looker
was too close and they could-
n't get the person to move
back.
"They had to shut down
operation for a while," said
you walked
a trench
— Tom Gruber, Greenbush
Gruber. adding the MBTA
does not take safety matters
lightly. He said people have to
understand that the MBTA is
trying to do what can be a dan-
gerous job, and while it might
be exciting to watch, residents
must respect the setbacks and
be a distance of at least 150
feet away.
Gruber said he has been
along the right-of-way with
representatives from the
MBTA. "It's like walking on
newly plowed farm land." he
said.
He said someone, especially
a young child, could potential-
ly sink down into the earth and
get themselves stuck.
"Kids are a bit more adven-
turous," he said, adding they
would be more likely to ven-
ture off into what could be a
potentially dangerous situj-
tion. and they must be told of
the potential hazards that exist
in the right-of-way.
"Parents, don't let your kids
cross," Gruber said, adding he
could not stress enough how
important it is to educate chil-
dren the right-of-way is not
safe. While parents may have
allowed their children to use
the rail bed as a shortcut in the
past, they must make sure their
children know from now on,
they should never be entering
the right-of-way.
"The right-of-way no longer
belongs to the town," said
Gruber. it belongs to the
MBTA. which also means res-
idents can be arrested for tres-
passing.
The MBTA is going to be
providing educational materi-
als when the train comes to
town and will be working with
the local safety officer to bring
programs into (he classroom
on train safety. However,
Selectman Ralph Dormitzer
said the earlier children learn
they should not be near the
right-of-way. the better, so
they will be aware of its dan-
gers and will know to keep off
the tracks when the train
comes.
Gruber and Brennan said
they will be in touch with the
schools to see if it would be
possible to print up a notice to
be sent home to parents regard-
ing right-of-way safety or have
safely reminders announced
over the PA system.
For more information on the
Greenbush project, please con-
tact either Tom Gruber,
Special Assistant to the Town
Manager for Greenbush
Affairs via e-mail at egbaf-
fuirsCn townofcohasset.org or

Liaisons are hard at work
on Greenbush rail issues
By Samantha Brown
SAM8R0WN9CNC.COM
It is plain for all to see the
Greenbush line is coming,
which means the phone in
MBTA liaisons Tom Gruber
and Mark Brennan 's office has
been ringing off the hook. The
men say while there are still
some concerns to be addressed,
progress is continually being
made.
The most recent activity with
the Greenbush project is the
clearing which is taking place in
the right-of-way. Gruber said
residents should be aware clear-
ing is goin^: to be temporarily
on hold near Lincoln Lane until
July 1 due to some "wetland
critters" which are environmen-
tally protected.
Issues with 39 Beechwood
St., a former Victorian home
which has been remodeled into
condominiums and whose dri-
veway is located parallel to the
Greenbush tracks, are in the
process of being worked out.
The Beechwood Street crossing
is very close to the driveway at
the residence and designs for
that area would have made it
difficult for fire trucks coming
down Beechwood Street from
South Main Street to access the
property without swinging the
truck into the opposite lane of
traffic.
"We went up to the Stop and
Shop Plaza and had the ladder
truck (the largest truck the
department has) make a right
36(1 degree turn." said Gruber,
and the outer and inner radius
measurements were taken and
applied to the drawings for the
Beechwood Street driveway.
Gruber said changes have been
made to the drawings, including
removing some cobblestones at
the base of the driveway which
the MBTA had added, and the
problematic situation of making
a right hand turn into the prop-
erty should be solved il the
MBTA agrees l< > (he changes.
Gruber said there are other
issues 39 Beechwood St resi-
dents would like to see cleared
up and he was scheduled to
have a meeting with them and
the MBTA this week to help
come to a mutually agreeable
resolution.
Mark Brennan has been look-
ing at the engineering docu-
ments for the Greenbush Line
and said there are still some
changes to be made to plans.
He said the crossing at Pleasani
Street will he heavily discussed
for at least (he next six months
as will the parking situation iii
the town parking lot. The pos-
sibility of blasting ledge behind
the Teen Garage could be dis-
cussed as a way to create the
spaces the town needs
Gruber said the issue of keep
ing pan of the recently excavat-
ed railroad turntable perma-
nently exposed is also on the
table, and will be discussed as a
Section 106 matter. Under
Section 106. which is a federal
law designed to protect a town's
historical assets, all mitigation
decisions are made by the
Massachusetts Historical
Commission, nol the MBTA.
The two men will also be
working to see If il is feasible to
have sidewalks installed that
will make pedestrian access to
the Route 3A (rain station a
reality. Brennan said he has
been working with Steve Bobo
of the board of health who is
very enlhusiaslic about the pos-
sibility of having pedestrian
access.
"People trom Hingham have
walking access to our station."
added Gruber. saying it would
be nice if Cohasset residents
had the same option.
While the MBTA has a main-
tenance road running parallel to
the tracks. Gruher said the orga-
nization will nol entertain the
possibility ol allowing it lo also
serve as a palh for biking and
jogging. Brennan said he has
been told there are a number of
sately concerns, as well as (he
fact (ha( the area will be dark
and isolated at night.

Cohasset baseball coach
Al Gallotta may ask
for a couple of roles of
Rolaids in his coaching budgei
for next season.
The Skippers dow n ihe home-
stretch of the season are play ing
nail biting games which have
made the veteran coach a little
nervous.
"It has been a little nerve
wracking especially for me on
the sideline lately." said Gallotta.
"The Holbrook game was major
relief to come out hitting the way
thai we did."

cluding a four game in four day

had seven extra base hits.
"Their (Holbrook's) pitching
was down, because il was iheir
fourth game of the week and they
had some pitchers hurl." said
Gallotta. "That is not an easy sit-
uation at a small school like that,
but give our hitters credit. They
could have had the approach of
their eyes bulging out and trying
to crush the ball and ended up
popping the ball up. Our kids hit
the ball. We haven't produced
that many extra base hits in a
game all season."
Second baseman Tim Pilc/ak
led the offensive explosion with
three extra base hits in the first
ble. a triple and a homer with six
RBI.
Catcher Luis Blanco and desig-
nated Jim DeGiacomo each had
two RBI and first baseman Brian
Straughn had ihree hits in the
game. Freshman Brian Hill
picked up the win as he fought
his way through a couple of
tough innings.
"Brian pitched Ihree innings on
Tuesday and w ith this being the
fourth game in four day we had
to come back with him," said
Gallotta. "By the third inning he
was operating on fumes."
The Holbrook win for
isset tixi in thai allowed the
ippers to possibly reach a goal
the final week of the season.
"I told the seniors that we want
to set the bar high and w in eight
games." said Gallotta. "It gives
the underclassmen something to
surpass. If we win our last two
games against Holbrook and
Sacred Heart we will get eight
wins. We have to duplicate the
efforts we had against the teams
we will have a shot."
Cohasset has won seven games
in each of the first two years with
Gallotta coaching and with a
strong junior varsity team that
has lost one game Ihe future is
bright.
"I am fortunate to have junior
varsity coach like Bob Rogers."

What if your entire spoil's
season depended on the weath-
er? That's about the Size of it for
the Cohasset Varsity Softball
team.
After a multiple game slump,
ihe Skippers have roared back
swinging. Now ihe only thing
left lo do is buckle down, stay
Focused, and pray for sun!
The wet blanket on the
Skipper's season came off last
Tuesday in their first of three
wins in the week. And let's just
say this: ihe girls made their trip
to Ihe Soulh Shore Christian
Academy very worthwhile.
The Cohasset bais lii up the
field like a Christmas tree.
Anna Haggerty: 2 for 5. Kalie
James: .* for 4. Virginia
Spoffbfd: 3 for 5. And lo lop il
all oil. a home run by Christina
Pinkus. This, combined with
some tremendous pitching by
Emily Savage and Katie James,
earned the Skippers 20-2
blowout victory.
Game 2 at home proved dis-
appointing against a very tal-
ented Harwich team Hut not
entirely. Though a $-3 loss was
n't what Cohasset had in mind,
one loss in four games isn't 100

And how about those
Cohasset hats ? The girls must

James. Spoffard. Pinkus. Casey

much-needed offensive contn

Cohasset couldn't pump out a

faced in the Skipper defense.
Nine errnrs not only cancelled

It cost Cohasset the gaiik-.
"You just can't win garnet
with nine errors." said Coach
Deb Bostwick "Aftei tins lei-
down. I gave Ihe girls a little
pep talk. 1 toll! them that we
have plenty ol potential lo win
some games It's up DO them!"
Apparently, every single
player took that idea lo heart
The girls switched on the
autopilot for the rest of ihe
week, bagging two wins in their
next two games

COHASSET YOUTH LACROSSE
Youth giris sweep
Hingham, 9-8 thriller
caps May 22 action
The Cohasset youth lacrosse
girls program played host to
four teams from Hingham on
May 22. and the day ended
w ith the most exciting, hack-
and-forth game of the year and
a sweep for the home team.
The Cohasset Blue 15-and-
I'nder team (grades 7/81 laced
Off against Hingham's top
squad - its Red team in a set'
um battle. After Hingham 's
Kelses Johnson banged home
a rebound. Lindsay Allard fed
Isabelle Franklin 10 knot the
score. Franklifl added her sec-
ond score midway through the
half. The rest of the period saw
Cohasset squander its scoring
opportunities and Hingham
cash its chances, as the game
went to the hall with the visi-
tors on lop. 4-2.
Cohasset came out Hying to
begin the second half,
w ith Kay la Farren dishing the
ball to Franklin, w ho complet-
ed her hat trick on the hall's
first shift. Gabriella Flibotle
scored the next two goals in
quick succession - the second
off a feed from Caillin
Mahoney - and Cohasset had
its first lead of the day.
Hingham immediately had a
quality scoring chance, but
Thomson Jaffe stuffed a direct-
free position shot from Ellie
Clayton. Hingham's other star
player, and Jaffe's outlet led to
a last break opportunity that
ended with a Hingham penalty
call. From there. Maura Barnes
converted the direct shot, and
it looked like Cohasset might
be able to break away.
But Hingham roared back,
with Clayton and Johnson cap-
italizing on Cohasset errors to
score three quick goals and
give the visitors a fresh lead at
7-6.
At that point. Cohasset could
have folded, but Jaffe stuffed
Johnson, and her outlet led to
another fast break and the
entire game changed. Kaley
Madge blew home a direct-
free position. Lindsey Allard
gave Cohasset the lead and
Mahoney made a great feed to
Madge to put Cohasset up by
two. Hingham scored with sec-
onds remaining in the game,
but never had another chance,
as the Cohassei girls celebrat-
ed a 9-8 win that raised their
record on the season to 6-1.
Jaffe finished with 8 saves in
net. and was helped by a terrif-
ic defensive effort from
Natalie Hunt. Liz Tetrault.
Amanada Masotta. Lindsay
Hill. Mimi Mahoney and
Megan Richardson.
Cohasset's i5-U White team
playing shorthanded so thai
several players doubled up on
the afternoon - had a much
easier go of it. cruising to an X-
I win over Hingham White
and maintaining a perfect 7-0
record on the season.
It did not look so easy at the
start. Gabriella Flibotle con-
verted a Maura Barnes feed,
hut Hingham answered by net-
ting a direct-free position.
Katie Oaumer pul Cohassei on
lop again, and when Lesen
Haracz blew past Hingham\
defense to score her first goal
of the year on a long pass from
Flibotte. ihe momentum sw ung
to Cohassei and stayed there.
Maura Barnes turned a Kaley
Madge pass into a 4-1
Cohassei lead at the hall.
Isabelle Franklin. Flibolle.
Caitlin Mahoney and Gaumer
scored in Ihe second half, with
Barnes picking up her second
assist of the day. Throughout
the game. Katy Baker's hustle
and aggressiveness disrupted
Hingham's transition game,

Thomson Jaffe, who made four
saves in the win.
Cohasset's younger teams
also controlled Hingham. with
the While 13-and-Under squad
(grades 5 and 6) raising its
record to 6-2 and dominating
Hingham's White team.
Anna Michalowski scored
the only goal of Ihe first half,
and Paige DeSisto banged
home a goal early in the sec-
ond hall, before Hingham
broke through and made it
look like it would close the
gap. But Sage Stebbins' hard
bouncer pul the home learn
back in command, and Merrick
Sease fed DeSisto for her sec-
ond goal of Ihe day. Sarah
Evans goal closed out the scor-
ing in a 5-1 Cohasset win.
Ellie Tedeschi made four
saves in the net. but several of
them stopped point-blank
shots lhai could have turned
the tide Hingham's way. Eliza
Kinnealey and Dylanne
Axelson led a team defensive
effort thai also saw Zoe
Whillon and Charlotte
O'Callaghan make long runs
to start Cohasset breakaways.
The Cohasset Blue 13-U
team - again so shorthanded
i hat many players doubled up
- never let Hingham Red into
the game, rolling to a 5-0 half-
time lead on the backs of five
different goal-scorers; Eliza
Kinnealey. Anna Michalowski.
Sara Evans. Claire Oswald and
Paige DeSisto.
Cohassei relaxed a bit and
moved some players around in
the second half, and while
Hingham was able to capital-
ize, it never could get the game
close. Michalowski and Evans
answered Hingham's first goal
of the game, and Oswald fed
Kinnealey to close out the
home team's scoring. Hingham
netted two late goals, but the
game was not as close as the 8-
4 final score suggested.

saves in the Cohasset net, most
of ihem early in the game to
stop Hingham's best hopes to
make the game close. The win
raised Cohassei Blue's record
to 5-2-1 on the year.
Cohasset's girls teams have
Memorial Day off. but will be
back on the field against teams
from Norwell and Scituate on
Sunday. June 5.
Boys have an exciting
string of games:
15-U White wins
three of four
The Cohassei White 1 5-and-
Under team (grades 7 and 8)
finished a busy two-week
stretch in which it played four
games, going 3-1 and display-
ing more maturity and growth
as players than the team
showed earlier in the year.
Against Norwell on May II,
Cohasset jumped to a 2-0 lead
at the half on ihe strength of a
Gordon Smith goal - assisted
by Andrew Bell - and an Owen
Landon-to-lan Quintan
hookup. Cohassei doubled its
lead midway through the third
period, thanks to John
Kearney's unassisted score and
an Andrew DiPaolo-to-
Thomas Buckley connection.
From there, Norwell awoke
to score three straight goals
and things stayed tight until
Geoff Evans scored on a feed
from Andrew Smith and
Buckley scored again, this
time with an assist from
Thomas Lemaire. Norwell
scored again late, but never got
closer than the game's 6-4
final score.
Three days later, the White
15-U team squared off against
a bigger, more physical
Scituate squad. Cohasset was
playing catch-up almost all
day. and hitting the goalpost on
four separate occasions didn't
help. Will Wise and Ian
Quinlan were able to dent the
net, with assists from John
Kearney and Graham
Stevenson, and goaltender Wes
Ulmer kept things close, but
Cohassei ended the game with
an 8-2 deficit.
On May 15. Cohasset White
played its third game of the
week, in a game that saw scor-
ing for both teams held to a
minimum. Andersen Lynner
led the defensive effort, with
key support coming from his
brother Will and from Chris
Brown and Keegan Flynn.
John Kearney's hat trick, com-
bined with Gordon Smith's
goal, gave Cohasset just
enough offense for a 4-3 win.
Ian Quinlan and Will Evans
picked up assists in the game.
On May 22, the White team
hosted Whitman-Hanson, and
delivered some of its best team
play of the year. All phases of
the game were solid and the
team played with a spirited
confidence. Cohasset led 2-1
at the half, with John Kearney
feeding Ian Quinlan to break
the seal on the game, and
Thomas Lemaire giving
Cohasset the halftime edge.

half, scoring four unanswered
goals to cruise to a 6-1 lead:
Lemaire assisted on Quinlan's
second score. Gordon Smith
scored unassisted and Will
Wise delivered two goals, with
assists to Kearney and Austin
Meyers.
The 15-U Blue team, mean-
while, went to the Cape to play
a talented Sandwich squad,
and while the weather cooper-
ated, "other conditions" did
not, as the game was called off
after the first half of play due
to a series of "disagreements"
between the official and the
Sandwich coach.
In spite of the shortened
game, the trip may have still
been worth it. as Cohasset
thoroughly dominated the con-
test with quick transitions, pre-
cise offensive play, and a sti-
fling defensive effort. Jack
Murphy made 6 saves in the
Cohasset net, while Ian Porter
led the offensive effort with
two goals and an assist.
Andrew Smith and Mark
Seraikas also scored goals, and
Andrew DiPaolo contributed
an assist.
At the younger age levels,
the ll-and-Under boys teams
(grades 3 and 4) squared off
against Whitman-Hanson both
at home and on the road on
May 22, and the action was
fast and furious.
The Blue ll-U squad had a
back-and-forth road game that
featured outstanding goaltend-
ing from Brendan Queenan
and Connor Green, who
slopped many shots from close
range. Anchoring the defense
was Mark Brown, Derek
Benson. Evan Yeager, and
Robbie Hillman, who had their
hands full all day, but managed
to consistently match up and
stop the home team from forg-
ing any type of sustained
attack, with Brown and Yeager
taking the ball end-to-end on
several occasions. The rest of
the transition game was man-
aged by Christian Davis, Sarah
Brown. John Mills. Nick
Tangherlini. and the O'Brien
Brothers (Tommy and Conor),
who combined to win many of
the game's face-offs, while
dominating the ground balls
and playing strong at both ends
of the field. Zach Coggins.
Mats Nelson, and Hunter
Forrer each had goals on the
attack, end with great back up
from Axel Seppala and
Chandler Skolnick.
The 1 1 -U White team, mean-
while was displaying grit,
heart and hustle in matching
up against a much, bigger,
quicker and more fundamen-
tally sound Whitman-Hanson
team.
Blair McGowan was a leader
at both ends of the field for
Cohasset, and his positive spir-
it proved contagious. Goalies
Will Golden and Henry Brown
did yeoman's work in net lo
hold Whitman to 9 despite the
visitors' consistent pressure.
Tommy Powers, Foster
Eymer, Jack McElgunn and
Max Montgomery stood out in
the defensive end of the field.
Montgomery contributed an
assist at the offensive end of
the field, feeding Ryan
McGovern for a goal, and
Eymer rang the bell with a fast
break goal. Matt Arnold turned
a loose ball in a crowd on the
crease into Cohasset's third
goal for the day. but that was
all the scoring the home team
could muster.
Brothers Anthony and Drew
Nahill were in the game with
numerous scoops and plays
across the midfield, Mark
McKenna and Colin Bell were
aggressive at attack, and Ryan
McKeon and Jack Come stood
out for overall contributions.
At the 13-and Under level
(grades 5 and 6), the boys had
another home-and-home with
Whitman-Hanson, with the
third team at the age level
squaring off against
Barnstable.
The 13-U Blue team
rebounded from its only loss
with a total team effort at
Whitman-Hanson. Morgan
Grasz hit the scoreboard first,
set up by Terence Durkin, who
quickly followed with a goal
of his own on a feed from
Thomas Flibotte. Chris
"Sherm" Murphy turned a rare
first-half appearance outside of
the goal into his own scoring
opportunity, blasting home an
unassisted goal to close out the
first half at 3-0.
Whitman-Hanson, frustrated
early by Blue's defensive tri-
umvirate of Alex Kinnealey,
Nate Brown, and Jack Nelson,
and the seemingly impenetra-
ble force field of Jake Durkin
in the net. finally was able to
break through in the second
stanza, but every goal was
answered by Cohasset.
Flibotte. Terence Durkin and
Grasz all scored again, with
Charlie Neaves picking up an
assist on Grasz' goal, and Sam
Richardson closed out the
day's scoring by netting a feed
from Terence Durkin.
Special mention in
Cohasset's 7-4 win goes out to
Coleman Hernon and Gus
Helbock, who both played at
the top of their games at mid-
die and defense (Hernon). and
midfield and attack (Helbock).
The Cohasset White U-13
team played an exciting after-
noon game against Whitman-
Hansen's Red team. Derek
Youngman scored a first-half
hat trick and Pat Kearney had
one goal, with a very active
Kyle Livingstone picking up
an assist as Cohasset ran a
strong fast-break and transition
game.
The defense of Geoff Swain,
Dean McNary and Pat Kearney
played a strong game assisting
Kyle Healy in making some
great saves in the first half. At
midfield, the line of John
McGoldrick, Dan Barnes and
Mitch McNary played a solid
game with Barnes and McNary
contributing Cohasset's second
half goals. Barnes' goal was a
tremendous effort as he stole
the ball deep in the zone and
fought through to net a tying
score for White. Charlie
Coffman and Pete McKenna
played strong games at attack,
continuously applying pres-
sure on Whitman-Hanson.
Willie Brown played goal

And finally, game 4. To say
"more of the same" would be sell-
ing Cohasset short. Last Friday,

when did Randy Johnson join the

Pretty good, if you ask me. But
not good enough for Pinkus. She
belted a homer over the center

"We were on this week." said
Junior Katie James. "We played

opportunities remain up in the air

Baseball's Junior
League debuts
• Little 1-eague for most Cohasscl
youngsters historical ly has ended at
the age of twelve. But this year,
thirty-six 13 and 14 year old buys
have the opportunity to continue
playing summer's great past time.
The board of directors of the
CYBSA worked diligently to form
the Junior Baseball League, under
the auspices of Little League.
Working with similar minded base-
ball officials from Norwell. a bi-
'town Junior League came to
fruition.
The inaugural season of the
Junior League is now under way.
Cohasset has fielded three teams
and Norwell is carrying six. The
teams are drafted by the coaches
and are evenly matched in terms of
talent and ability. Veteran Little
League coaches Kathy Ofsthun.
Bob McCunney and Rob Doonan
are managing the three Cohasset
squads. CYBSA President Liam
O'Connell u as the driving force in
the formation of the league.
Recognizing the void the lack of
Middle School sports created.
O'Connell focused on a way to
keep the boys playing.
The gap between the youth sports
programs and the high school pm-
gi an is leaves Cohasset at a compet-
itive disadvantage in many arenas
Varsity and JV Coaches Al Golotta
and Bob Rodgers were thrilled to
hear of this league and support the
efforts as this program will be a
feeder program into high school.
More importantly, 36 boys, who
developed a love for the game in
'Little League can keep on playing.
'. The boys have adjusted to Junior
^League rules. For example, pitchers
'can pilch a total of nine innings in a
•week compared to six in Little
•League. The infield increases to SH)
Jbot base paths from 60 feet. The
jiitcher's mound is 60 feet. 6 inches

in Linle League. The extra distance
in both throwing the ball and run-

FROM LACROSSE. PAGE 18
second half and saw a big push
by the WH squad. Brown
slopped 10 shots overall, but
the visiting team was able to
push by the gamewinner and
an insurance goal late, finally
securing an 8-6 win.
The 13-U Silver leam was
outmuscled but not outhustled
by a much larger visiting
squad from Barnstable.
Rumors that their players actu-
ally drove themselves to the
match were dispelled by
stealth) side-line investigation
b> some Cohasset parents who
were concerned for the team's
survival against a squad thai
was enhanced with preposter-
ouslv large "age-eligible" sev-
enth graders. That edge - and
Cohasset's teams are always
fielded by grade level only -
made Barnstable a particularly
formidle opponent, but that
did not stop Cohasset from
getting after the visitors like
piranhas on an unsuspecting
hippo.
Patrick MeCormack started
the scoring with a sweet
bounce shot from the slot. As
the game progressed, Luke
Ernst knifed in closely enough
to fire a couple of bullets, only
to be stymied by an excellent
effort from the opposing goal
tender. After a quick coaching
adjustment, a properly deliv-
ered bounce shot got Ernst the
first of his two tallies on the
day. Adrian Dunne rounded
out the first-half scoring with a
confounding quick stick from
the right side of the net
Matthew Swanborg, in a
debut performance in net. was
spectacular. He gamely
stopped most of Barnstable's
shots, and there were many. Of
particular note was his stuffing
of the opponent's version of
Andre the Giant who had run
over our entire defense and
thundered to the net unmolest-
ed.
The second half found
Adrian Dunne in net where he
persevered despite numerous
defensive miscues. He was
helped at the other end of ihe
field by Alexander Everett,
who endured a merciless
mauling on the way to tucking
Cohasset's fifth goal. Chris
Brash rounded out the after
noon with a measured missile
after a quick feed from Luke
Ernsl.
Robbie Mahoney and Patrick
Dunn repeatedly cut dowfi
Barnsiable's offensive giants,
while Alex Evans terrorized
their defensive clearing efforts
all day long. Jeff Durkin and
Chris Carpenter played great
two-way midfield. The rest of
the boys mustered ably against
the visitor's relentless assault,
but ultimately succumbed in u
game that was more closely
contested than the final 19-6
score suggests.

However, Simcone's young
life came to an end loo soon, as
shortly after graduation, he was
drafted into the U.S. Army and
assigned to the 101 st Airborne
Division. He would never return
home to the town he loved.
On May 30. 1969, Simeone. a
grounder in Company B 2nd
Battalion. 501st Infantry, was
conducting ambush patrols near
Dong Ap Bia Mountain, on the
western border of the A Shau
Valley in Vietnam. His platoon
moved into an ambush site along
a trail and began waiting for pos-
sible enemy troops that might
move along the trail at night. At
about 10:15 p.m.. several North
Vietnamese were spotted mov-
ing toward the platoon's position.
When the enemy forces were
in range. Claymore mines were
detonated, killing four of the hos-
tile troops. That in turn led
American forces to emerge to
assess the result of the ambush.

PFC Craig M. Simeone is
one of many veterans who
have been honored by the
town of Cohassel for their ser-
vice to the country. The town
lost seven other men during
the Vietnam War who have all
been memorialized with
squares or other memorials in
town including:
• Peter J. Albiani, Jr.:

Gammons Roads
• Peter Cogill: Intersection
of Church and Doane Streets
• Allen F. Keating:
Intersection of Summer Street

Street and Joy Place
• R. Edward Maree: The

Lane near the police station
entrance
The mothers of the eight ser-
vicemen that gave their lives
during Vietnam are memorial-
ized at the Gold Star Mothers
Monument at Woodside
Cemetery.
The Vietnamese who survived
the attack imrnediately retaliated,
killing several friendly troops
and wounding several others.
Simeone volunteered to
attempt to reach the wounded
men who were unprotected from
enemy fire. He and his platoon
leader crawled forward to aid the
stricken men, but were observed
by the enemy force. As he
neared the casualties. Simeone
was mortally wounded. He was
only 21 years old.
Vietnam took a heavy toll on
the town, as eight men were
killed, including Peter J. Albiani,
Jr., Peter Cogill. Allen F.
Keating, William C. Laidlaw.
John Paul Lyon. Edward R.
Maree. and Dennis J. Reardon.
Cohasset lost the same number
of soldiers during World War II.
The worst eight months of
Vietnam were in 1969. when the
town lost five men. four at six-
week intervals. Simeone was
one of three young men from the
Cohasset High School Class of
1966 to sacrifice his life.
For his bravery and service in
the war. Simeone was honored
with many military awards
including the Bronze Star Medal
with V for valor with the Oak
Leaf Cluster in light of his sec-
ond award, the Purple Heart
Medal. He was also awarded the
Vietnam Service Medal.

Simeone will always be
remembered for his good-
natured ways and love of life.
Even after his passing, he contin-
ued to inspire those around him.
Simeone -s death had a profound
impact on Golden who was
studying at Yale while his friend
was serving in Vietnam. Golden
said losing Simeone made him
reali/i he wanted to find a way to
give back to his country, like his
friend had done by serving in the
military, and he decided he could
serve his country well in politics.
To ensure his memory is never
forgotten, a memorial square has
been dedicated in Simeones
honor, which residents drive by
every day. Located in a fitting
spot, Simeone's memorial square-
can be found at the intersection
of Lantern Lane and Pond Street,
just down the street from his
family home on Bancroft Road.
The square was dedicated in his
memory in November 1996.

Navy veteran to speak
on Memorial Day
By Mary Ford
MF0RD8CNC.COM
Rain or shine, you can be
assured thai hundreds of local rit-
"izens will gather at Veterans
Memorial Park on Monday for
Cohasset's traditional Memorial
Day observances.
The annual event that includes a
parade down North Main Street
to the Common and onto Elm
Street and the harbor is always a
draw in this small town that has
lost more than of its share of sol-
diers, sailors and airmen over the
years.
The Veterans Honor Roll —
which will eventually include
those to served in all the nation's
' wars — is one of the finest trib-
utes anywhere and demonstrates
the esteem in which Cotassd
holds its veterans.
The stone monument provides
the backdrop for the ceremony
that w ill include featured speaker
l,t. Commander Kathleen
Sullivan, a U.S. Navy veteran, a
Cohassei resident
The parade arrives at the harbor
at about 1 1 :45 a.m. but the das 's
events actually begin much earli-
er, the from S p.m. Sunday to 6
a.m. Monday, a Legion member
will keep Vigil at Veterans p;irk.
Then at 7 a.m. at the George H.
Mealy American Legion Post 1 1 S
on Summer Street hosts the annu-
al veterans' breakfast. From the
Legion veterans march up to the
old Paul Pratt Library building
(now the headquarters of the
Cohasset Historical Society)
where they hoard buses for lite
North Cohasset Cemetery and
honor roll. The buses arrive at
Woodside at about 9:3(1 a.m. that
includes visiting the Gold Star
Mothers Memorial Then it's on
' to Beechwood Cemetery. The
veterans join the parade that

Molly Manley and Janet Marshall sign copies of their new children V hook at ButtortwOod Books
in Shaw's Plaza. Cohasset.
Children's book combines
talents of Hingham women
Collaborate on
Nantucket Nanny'
By Matt Whorf
CORRESPONDENT
Janet Marshall and Molly
Manley have turned a leisure-
lime amusemeni conjured up
while on vacation together into a
long-term creative collaboration.
The two Hingham friends
remember making up impromptu
games, telling jokes and rhymes
in limerick farm while staying up
into the late hours during vacation
days with their families and other
friends from town in the British
Virgin Islands.
Then on the beach one day.
Manlev suggested to Marshall.
"How about doing limericks for
children?
"It all started off as a joke. But
we soon agreed thai mosi of the
kind of limericks we were making
up were not suitable for children."
said Manley during an interview
at Marshall's Bradley Hill home.
"Molly and I has been friends
for a long lime, and we thought it
would be fun to work together on
a children's books of limericks
and illustrations." added
Marshall, an artist who had
already illustrated some half-a-
dozen children's book projects
before beginning the collabora-
tion with Manley.
The first result of the startup
team effort was 'Talkaty Talker."
a bright and colorful limerick pic-
lure book for children published
by the Pennsylvania-based Boyds
Mills Press in 1994. Manley
penned the limericks and
Marshall drew the illustrations.
The two women followed four
years later with Lulu Lentola. also
released by Boyds Mills and fea-
turing the title orca character.
Both books illustrated Manley s
rhymes with Marshall's childlike
renderings of various animals,
such as penguins, rhinos, ele-
phants, cats, rabbits and parrots.
Apparently, vacation spots are a
vibrant source of material for
Marshall and Manley. The
authors have just released their
third book together. "A Nantucket
Nanny." inspired mainly by ihe
sights and sounds taken in by
Marshall while on her more
recent yearly vacations to
Nantucket.
The book is also the duo's first
for a new publisher, this one a lot
closer to home, the Beverly.
Massachusetts-based Common-
wealth Editions.
The colorful covet "A
Nantucket Nanny."
Marshall's illustration technique
involves transferring her original
drawings into cut-outs, translated
into shapes, and pressing them on
colored paper to get Ihe effect of
silk-screened images as well as a
graphic design look. She then
hand-colors the edges of the cui-
ouLs and glues them down.
"I always loved the colored
paper work of Matisse." said
Marshall, citing one of her cre-
ative influences.
Once again. Marshall uses
quaint animal images to add life
to Manley 's 12 limericks, which
are set in the various regions of
Nantucket, such as Siasconset.
Quidnet, Pocomo and
Shawkemo. Miss Peach, the
nanny goat, pedals a bike to Cliff
Beach; Kerry, the seal on a surf-
board races the Fast Ferry , and
stubborn Dwight, the bunny in
pajamas, flies a kite by Sankaty
Light. Marshall has made the
trips to Nantuckei with her hus-
band, Colin, every year for the
past few years in June and
October, "when the island is as its
best." she said.
"It seemed like the sort of lim-
ericks thai Molly writes would go
best there, specially made for Ihe
charm of Nantucket." Marshall
said. 'The creative process usual-
ly went thai Molly would write
Ihe limericks and I would come
up with Ihe animal character thai
besl fits."
Marshall and Manley gave
notable mention to some of the
other perennial attraction of
Nantucket thai they also highlight
or feature in "A Nantucket
Nanny." These include the gray-
shingled houses, the cobblestone
streets, the Daffodil Festival, the
Fast Ferry and the Madaket sun-
set to name just a few
Manley focuses on one limer-
ick and accompanying illustration
in particular, featuring a triplet of
cals from Quidnet in a window
box. which she said best speaks
for the charm of Nantucket. ;
"We really wanted to include
the picture of the cats in the win-
dow box. That sort of thing is
where a lot of the whimsy of the
island comes from." Manley said.
Marshall. 65, a graduate of the
Hartford Art School, begarnwri
ing and designing her own pic
books in 1988. when her
children were almost grown
following year, her

"My Camera at the
were published by Little. Bi
& Co Manley, 68. had >
short stories for adults befo
beginning her children's
collaboration with Marshall.

If you want lo know how impor-
tant it is to make the most of your
residual hearing with a hearing
instrument, consider that it may
help save your life. Scientists
now know that low pitched
sounds are what help us tell
where a sound is coming from
How? While low pitched sounds
surround the head and enter both
ears almost simultaneously. Ihe
brain is able to distinguish the
small interval between when the
sound enters one ear and the
other. This is what tells you
where sounds are coming from If
a heanng-impaired person is not
able to make this distinction, he
or she may be vulnerable to any
of a number of dangers that are
usually preceded by low pitched
warning sounds.
Just as trifocals were designed to
correct vision for different activi-
ties like reading and driving,
some hearing instrument arc
designed to correct hcanng in
various situations Put the man\
available products for the hcanng
impaired to good work for you

'Land of the free, home of the brave'
Cohasset observes
Memorial Day
By Mary Ford
MFORDOCNC COM
When Old Glory and
glorious weather
come together, it
can translate into a Memorial
Day to remember.
There is perhaps no town
more beautiful and no setting
more stunning than Cohasset
and its Veterans Memorial Park
in springtime.
With 50 flags, representing
each of the states, blowing in
the breeze under the blue sky
and the American Hag Hying on
several flagpoles at half start,
but still above the rest - the
stage was set for the annual
observances honoring those

ing in front of the Honor Roll, hold their /lags up high for all
to see during Monday s Memorial Day observances at
Veterans Memorial Park at the harbor.
Forces who have made the ulti-
mate sacrifice.
What the names of the fallen
have in common is their com-
mon link to Cohasset. which on
Monday was the epitome ol
small-town America.
As lobster boats rested on
then moorings in the harbor at
low tide — toddlers tumbled
around on the green grass at the
park, some older Citizens sat on
the benches and reflected, and
children played and families
visited with one another - all
the while wailing for the parade
to appear around the corner on
Elm Street
At just before nixin. the sound
of sirens heralded the impend-
ing arrival of the parade, which
featured dozens of veterans in
their service uniforms, police,
firefighters, local officials, and
hundreds of Boy -Scouts and
Girl Scouts. Again this year, the
Rusty Skippers played with the
middle-high school band under
the joint direction of Stephanie
Hoskin and Steve Biagini.
The parade that stepped off at
the Music Circus had wended
its way from Central Cemetery
down North Main Street and
through the village, with sever-
al stops to pay tribute at memo-
rials along the way.
"I don't know where to begin."
said Steve Wigmore. comman-
der of the George H Mealy
American Legion Post in his
welcoming remarks at Veterans
Memorial Park. "'But believe me
we've got a great day."
Wigmore described the
assembly of local veterans rep-
.resenting all branches of the ser-
Mce and all wars from World
War II on - as "the best of 2005.

Ralph Perroncello. comman-

"Thanks to all the World War

he said. "It's been 60 years."

the keynote speaker, noted how
Memorial Day since 9-11 has
taken on renewed meaning.
"Until a few short years ago
Memorial Day. it seemed was a
day that we remembered heroes
of wars from years, decades and
even centuries past. But today
we also remember the men and
women who have lost their
lives in the War on Terrorism."
Sullivan said.
"The War on Terrorism is
unlike any in our history. The
enemy is illusive, thev are not
wearing a uniform, they hide
behind innocents; there are no
clear battle lines; the attacks
seem random and unpre-
dictable; the tactics are uncon-
ventional."
But Sullivan said the common
thread that ties this war to all
others, .ire the men and women
who gave their lives for
freedom.

"We're getting
close to a final
product."
— Town Manager
Bill Griffin
voted Tuesday to accept the lat-
est draft, pending a review of
its appendices and approval
from legal counsel.
With that approval, advertis-
ing for the RFP could begin
June 15 which would set the
bidder solicitation process in
motion. Interested developers
would be given 30 days to sub-
mit a proposal, which means all
proposals must be received by
the town by July 1 5.
"We're getting close to a final
product." said Town Manager
Bill Griffin.
One of the latest changes to
the document is the decision to
set a minimum
bid price of
$4.9 million for
the property to
ensure the
town makes up
what it has
spent thus far.
The town will
purchase the property from the
Cook heirs lor S4.5 million,
and the previous minimum hid
price was set at $4.8 million. To
date the town has spent rough-
ly $250,000 on legal lees, engi-
neering costs, and appraisals, as
well as a refundable deposit of
$2(X).(XM).
The town is trying to build a
reduced number of units of
senior housing on the Cook
Estate pn>perty.
Over the course of the past 1 5
months, the town had worked
with the Northland Residential
Company to build 95 units of
mixed-income, age restricted
housing on the site off Sohier
Street. Northland was chosen
during an extensive RFP
review process in March 2IMW.
and at that time, a minimum hid
price of $5.25 million had been
set. Northland offend $5.4
million.
However, soils would not
allow wastewater from the 95
proposed units to be disposed
of on site, as was planned, and
a municipal sewer connection
was not an option. A dow nsi/ed
project was the only option for
the site. Because of the change
in scope, under state procure-
ment laws, the project would
have to go out to bid again,
selectmen said. Northland has
said it intends to participate in
the second bidding process.
This time around the town
could end up purchasing the
property, as the Cook heirs
have said they are not inclined
to give the town any more
extensions of the purchase and
sale agreement. The town has
already secured three exten-
sions. If a suitable buyer is not
found before Sept. 15. the
deadline set by the Cooks, or if
permits cannot be secured in
time, the town may opt to pur-
chase the property outright to
take some of the pressure off.
to up the minimum bid to $4.9
million.
However, purchasing the
property is a decision that will
need to be made by a Town
Meeting vote. Due to the fail-
ure of the $400,000 Prop. 2- 1 12
override at the special election
May 21, a special Town
Meeting will be held at some
point before mid-September to
balance the budget, and the
Cook issue could be included
on that Warrant.
In addition to upping the min-
imum bid price, the board also
agreed to make access to the
S.7 acres of abutting town
property a
requirement in
the RFP. The
C(x>ks own two
parcels of land
— 18.92 acres
off Sohier
Street across
from Fairoaks
Lane, and three acres on the
< Kher side between the Fairoaks
neighborhood and the Mobil
station. The town has an 8.7
acre parcel near Stop & Shop
thai abuts the Cook property.
While the town-owned land
was included in (he first RFP.
based on the requirement that it
would be deeded back to the
town as open space, the select-
men voted to leave it out of the
new transaction. But they said
.in L.iscnient to access the prop-
erty is very important.
"The developer must agree to
access." if the land is going to
be used for anything in the
future, said Griffin, adding it
will be up to the board to
decide how that land should be
used. "'If a developer has to
commit to give access to the
land, they'll want to know
what's going on it." he said.
'The sense I had was that it
would remain as open space to
protect the water supply." said
Chainnan Fred Koed. as the
property is in close proximity to
wetlands as well as Peppermint
Brtxik which runs to Lily Pond,
the town's drinking water sup-
ply. He suggested the land be
kepi open, and that access be
granted only for maintenance of
walking paths that will be locat-
ed on the combined property as
well as tire and police depart-
ment access for the develop-
ment, as the town land only has
a small amount of frontage on
Route 3A.
"That's a really good point."
said Selectman Ralph
Dormitzer.
The selectmen voted to keep
the land open space and require
in the RFP that the town be
granted an easement by the
developer.

counsel, the RFP will In- adver-

Fees leave fishermen feeling cold
ByS
Commercial fishermen will
be spared paying a newly
implemented user fee to tie-up
their skiffs on the town floats
and docks, at least for the time
being. While mooring and user
fees will remain in place for
their main vessels, fishermen
will receive a refund of $72 .
the flat rale for docking a skiff.
There has been some concern
over the new implementation
of fees, as in previous years,
there has been no charge to tie
up a skiff — a small boat with-
out a motor which many fisher-
men use to row out to the larg-
er boats. For fishermen, it is a
necessity they be able to get
out to their boats, and imposing
an additional fee on their liveli-
hood did not seem fair to many.
"Seventy-two dollars is a big
jump from nothing," said
Margaret Figueiredo. whose
husband Bob and son Paul are
both fishermen.
But some also feel the fee
structure itself is not fair, as not
all skiffs are created equal.
They come in varying lengths
and widths and some take up
more space than others, yet
everyone is charged the same-
fee.
Paul Figueiredo said his skiff
is 8-l'eet-long. and every day he

uses it to row out to his fishing
boat. "Why should I pay the
same amount as someone who
has a 12-foot skiffT' he asked.
Mooring and user fees in the
harbor are charged per foot.
Paul Figueiredo said the new
flat fees look like a way to bal-
ance the budget
In addition, the lack of space
on the floats is creating prob-
lems, and both residents and
fishermen feel if they are going
to be required to pay a fee, they
should be guaranteed a spot.
"People who pay should
have a place to tie up. That's
just the fair thing to do," said
Selectman Ralph Dormitzer.
Chairman of the Harbor
Committee Bob Cunningham
said the fees were imposed this
year as a way to help clear up
space on the floats. The
thought was. if there was a fee
imposed, those who do not use
their boats on a regular basis
might not tie up just because
they can. He also explained the
fee was set at a flat rale as a
way to minimize enforcement.
In other words, if everyone is
charged the same fee. there
does not have to be a member
of the staff checking to ensure
those who say they have an 8-
foot skiff and pay for an 8-foot
skiff really have an 8-foot skiff.
However. Paul Figueiredo
said all it takes is a quick look
to determine the difference
between an 8- foot boat and a
12-foot boat.
Selectman Rob Spoftord said
he feels in terms of fees, it is
important to draw the line
between using the harbor for a
commercial business or for
pleasure. He said he grew up
in Kennebunkport. ME and
realizes the importance the
fishing industry has on coastal
towns and said Cohasset
should be encouraging the
industry. "I'd be in favor of
waiving the fee and refunding
the $72." he said.
Selectman Gary Vanderweil
agreed as did Selectmen
Chairman Fred Koed. who said
it is also important to encour
age the fishing industry noi
only because it is a profession
that helped mold ihe town, bui
because it has many other ben-
efits. As a working fishing
port. Cohasset is always
bumped to the top of the list
when dredging becomes neces-
sary.
The board agreed to waive
the fee. bul Town Manager Bill
Griffin suggested contacting
Town Counsel on the matter to
ensure it is legal to waive fees
for some, and nol others A
moratorium on fees has been
enacted lor now.
Other harbor issues
There has been some other con-
fusion regarding fees and the use
of moorings in the harbor.
Cunningham said everyone that
uses the harbor should be paying a
lee of one kind or another, whether
it be a mooring fee. user fee, or
transient fee.
Cunningham said those with a
mooring should not be sharing that
mooring. He said there has been
some misunderstanding about
sharing and the notion spaces in
the harbor can be lent out like a
time share in Florida is not accu-
rate. If a person isn't going to use
their mooring for a few weeks, a
friend cannot take il for their own.
"A better analogy is a pass to a
ski mountain. If you're not going
to he skiing lor a while, you can't
su> to other people they can ski
with it It's issued only to the
user." he said.
However, Cunningham said if a
person has paid their mooring fee
and lias spot and would like to
trade with a Inend who may be
going on vacation for a while, hop-
ping hack and lorth should not be
an issue in that case
For those who mav he coming to

Police motorcycle units make their debut
By Mary Ford
MFORO^CNC .
COM
In an effort to gel police out of
their cruisers and more visible to
the public. Police Chief Jim
Hussey has been able to add two
Harley Davidson motorcycles to
the department's Heel of vehicles.
The police motorcycles were a
hit this past weekend when they
escorted ihe trolleys carrying
prom-goers to the tow n line and
provided an escort for Monday's
Memorial Day Parade
Bul residents with a head for
accounting in these tough fiscal
times can put down their sharp
pencils.
The motorcycles have been
leased for a year. The Cohassel
Police Association, the private
fund-raising arm of Ihe police
union, is paying for one of the
motorcycles and Hussey is using
left-over funds in his cruiser
account for the other.
Leasing costs for each bike are
$2,800 a year, plus roughly $500
for maintenance. Hussey said.
Hussey says the money is well
spent and is helping fulfill his
vision of community policing
that is shared by the Police
Advisory Council, which is made
up of local citizens.
"When I first got here. I tried to
break down the barriers between
the public and police depart-
ment." he said. Hussey noted, for
example, the cruisers no longer
have the darkened windshields,
which were uninviting to the
community.
He also explained thai motorcy-
cles are a great way to encourage

interaction with the community.
"I used to ride one myself in
the 1980s," he said. There is
nothing better to gel kids around
to talk. It's an attraction.
"It's a win-win for everyone."
Hussey said shortly after he
came on board last spring, the
officers asked if there would
ever be a chance they'd have
motorcycles. Hussey said he

would look al the numbers and
explore the possibility.
The police association subse-
quently came forward and
offered to pick up the lab for
one of the bikes.
Hussey said after a year, he
would review how effective the
motorcycles have been and if
the public thinks they are a
valuable asset.
The chief also said the motor-
cycles provide more flexibility
by allowing officers lo go
places where cruisers can't.
Case in point on a serious
note. Hingham police are using
motorcycle units to patrol Bare
Cove Park where two homeless
men were found murdered last
month. Hingham Chief Steven
Carlson said the motorcycle
units are able to patrol the 470-
acre park which has miles of
walking and biking trails.

inspector to either award or
deny a building permil tor the
project.
The large home bylaw serves
oiilv as a way to insure there is a
mechanism for abutters to air
concerns when a large home is
planned lor a neighborhood, and
help preserve the character of
the town by preventing "man-
sioni/ation." The bylaw was
passed at the 2IHM Annual Town
Meeting.
The bylaw is triggered when a
homeowner plans to exceed the
greater of '.500 square feel or
10 percent of the lot area, up lo
fi.OOO square leer
The Stevens' proposal would
increase their home to 4.3s)0
square led. and discussion on
the project will continue at the
June S planning board meeting.
However, the roughly 20 neigh-
bors who attended the May 25
hearing were given a taste lor
what the project would entail,
including a construction phase
of roughly one year.
Henry Arnaudo of HPA
Designs. Inc.. the company that
designed the plans for the
Stevens, said in the end. the
home will be slightly longer and
not much deeper than what cur-
rently exists. He said there will
be a difference of a little more
than 17 feet in the home's
height, hut "everything about
this house meets the dimension-
al regulations." as required b)
the town's zoning bylaws.
Arnaudo said it was riecessar)
to raise the level of the home by
a few feet because there are
ledge and drainage problems on
the site.
Due to the ledge, blasting will
be required lo give the Stevens ,i
new basement. Ken Smith ol
Michael and Kristyn Stevens, 6 Deep Run,
would like to tear down their house on the
comer of Jerusalem Road and Deep Run and
a new shingle-style home with a wrap
around porch and three-car garage.
Atlantic Blasting Company was
on hand to explain what will
take place, and try to allay the
fears of abutters whose homes
have been damaged from area
blasting in the past.
Smith said he estimates it will
lake roughly two weeks lo com-
pleie blasting for the site, and
the activity will not be constant.
He said once the current house
comes down, they will better he
able to gauge the situation and
come up with more concrete
answers regarding how much

blasting is needed and for how
long.
Neighbor Ed Lappen. 1 8 Deep
Run. said he was concerned
because his swimming pool is
very close to the area where the
blasting will occur. In addition,
Beverly Koswick. 25 Deep Run.
said her house was damaged
when neighbors blasted years
ago ami she doesn't want lo see
her walls cracking again. Other
neighbors echoed her senti-
ments.
"There is a 250-foot stale (set-
back) requirement." said Smith,
w hich means all abutters' prop-
erty will be at least thai far from
the point of detonation. He
explained the rock in Cohasset
is very "reactive" rock, and it
transmits a high frequency
vibration, which he said is actu-
ally better for homes than a low
frequency. He said earthquakes
produce low frequency vibra-
tions, which actually cause more
damage to homes than high fre-
quency, although they are not as
easily detected by humans.
But planning board member
Peter Pratt said with any project.
"You're asking for trouble with
blasting, even in the hands of a
master" especially when homes
in the area have been damaged
by blasting before.
"Would you consider chip-
ping, which could be less inva-
siveT asked Pratt.
However. Smith said because
Cohasset ledge is so hard. "It
doesn't respond well lo chip-
ping, especially when you get
below the weathered outside
portion." In addition, chipping
can take much longer than blast-
ing and it is a constant 8-hours a
day process, which may have a
more negative impact on neigh-
bors.
"So chipping is not a panacea
in lieu of blasting." said plan-
ning board member Stuart
Ivimey.
Moore said while the concerns
over blasting are relevant, they
are not sufficient reasons not to
allow the pmject to move for-
ward. "In Ihe real world there
are no guarantees there won't be-
any problems. You can never
anticipate an accident." he said.
The Leggats' home, with the
new addition, will total 3.966
square feel. The couple savs
With the addition there will be
no change in the grade of the
land, meaning drainage for near
by homes should not he affect-
ed, and there will be no blasting
of ledge.
Koswick was the only neigh-
bor who voiced concerns with
the proposed addition, and she
said while she thinks the plans
for the house look great, she is
concerned about the landscap-
ing on the Leggats' property.
The couple had a new septic
system installed and trees along
the property line were removed,
leaving the Koswicks with less
privacy than they had been used
to.
Although the lx-ggats agreed
to work wilh their neighbors and
said they had intended on plant-
ing some foliage during a later
stage of their overall home
improvement plan. Moore said
the fact that the home will be
expanding has nothing to do
with the tree removal and
should not be a factor in the
review process
"II the applicants decided
tomorrow to do nothing (to their
home), the problem would still
be there." he said.
The planning board said it
would recommend the building
inspector approve Ihe Leggal's
plans with a few conditions,
including the' total lot square
footage figure be included in the
final plans.

MBTA pays S200K in eminent domain case
By
SAMBROWN9CNC.COM
The Massachusetts Bay
Transportation Authority has
paid a settlement 10 times that of
their original offer to a Cohasset
couple whose land was taken by
eminent domain as part of the
Greenbush line construction.
William and Huguette Stone
were the owners of a vacant lot at
383 South Main St.. of which the
MBTA look a portion by eminent
domain last November. The gov-
ernment has the right to take pri-
vate land by eminent domain for
public use. and there is usually
compensation awarded to the
owner in return.
Although the MBTA originally
offered $20.(KX) for the pmpertv.
the couple's attorney Peter E.
Flynn of Saugus said a complaint
was tiled in Norfolk Superior
Court and an agreement has been
reached, paying compensation to
the Stones in the amount of
$2(K).(KX).
"We were thrilled to obtain ten
limes the MBTA's original offer
and present the Stones with a
check for an additional
$200,000," said Flynn. adding it
was especially important for his
clients that they were able to
come to a resolution quickly,
"while also avoiding lengthy,
cosily, and uncertain litigation."
The land was taken from the
Stones Nov. I. 2004. and at that
time the MBTA fell its offer of
S2<>.o<>(> was proper compensa-
tion. However, Flynn said the
Stones were not happy with the
settlement and filed a complaint
in Norfolk Superior Court Dec.
Although litigation was filed.
Flynn said. "Negotiations with
the MBTA continued, which
allowed us to come to an agree-
ment quickly and withdraw the
complaint before further pursu-
ing the litigation."
The complaint alleges the com-
pensation was "inadequate and
does not reflect the fair market
value of the property taken,
and/or damages to the plaintiffs
remaining property." Flynn
explained the land is reasonably
suited for some limited develop-
ment, but that "Any development
would encounter issues relating
to the presence of wetlands,
access, and a right of way over a
railroad line." once construction
of the Greenbush line is com-
plete.
Through much negotiation, the
$200.(KX) settlement was
reached, and tin.- Stones tiled a
notice of voluntary dismissal in
Norfolk Superior Court March
15. Flynn said he and his clients
are very happy with the outcome,
adding while construction of the
Greenbush line is somewhat con-
troversial, it is a "worthy pro-
ject."
MBTA spokesman Joseph
Pcsaluro said in order to build the
Greenbush line, the MBTA has
laken roughly °0 pieces of prop-
erty by eminent domain through-
out the entire 1 7-mile Greenbush
corridor. There have been 30

Vanderweil charts course for future
By Samantha Brown
SAMBR0WNeiCNC.COM
It seems as if almost every
board in town is in the process
of devising strategic plans for
the future, and the selectmen
,iu no exception. Over the next
lew months, selectmen will pri-
onti/e areas they say need extra
attention and form strategies to
implement plans lor the next v
10 years.
Selectman Gary Vanderweil
compiled a list of ideas lor ihe
hoard's consideration, three of
which were discussed at the
board's May 24 meeting. Other
items in Vanderweil's plan will
be discussed in increments at
upcoming meetings
With the failure of two over
rides at the May 21 special
election, residents have shown
they are not in favor of increas-
ing their tax bills. But with
costs continuing to rise, the
town is fighting an uphill fiscal
battle.
In light of that. Vanderweil
has proposed the town Uxik into
economic development which
would increase the town's com-
mercial tax base and recom-
mended a committee be formed
to help provide input as to how
it can be done. He suggested
residents Gabriel Gome/. 59
Highland Ave.. Peter Brown. 38
Atlantic Ave., and Tom Powers,
25 Powers Lane, to serve on
the potential committee, as they
have all expressed interest in
being involved with this type of
planning for the town.
"They're really hot to trot on
this." Vanderweil said.
Vanderweil said there has been so much
emphasis put on creating housing, that
giving a boost to the town's commercial tax
Vanderweil said there has
been so much emphasis put on
creating housing, that giving a
boost lo the town's commercial
tax base has been overlooked
Vanderweil said Gome/ works
in venture capital, and he
believes the town could be a
prime location for startup com-
panies. Brown works in com-
mercial real estate and Powers
is a local developer, and togeth-
er with Gome/, the three have a
lot of combined knowledge the
tow n could benefit from.
Selectman Michael Sullivan
noted there is only so much
land that is available for com-
mercial development, and what
there is. is privately owned.
Vanderweil said landowners
would have to be a part of the
planning process, which could
include developing new areas
or re-vamping those that
already exist. He also acknowl-
edged the fact that Cohasset is
off the beaten track and it
would take good marketing to
entice business ow ners to oper-
ate in town.
Zoning is another area which
Vanderweil said needs to be
thoroughly looked into moving
forward. He said although it is
really under the purview of the
planning board, a committee
should be formed to recom-
mend /oning changes through-
out town.
"Zoning can be used to do
everything It's a very power
ful tool." he said.
Vanderweil said there are a
number of goals he would like
to see accomplished including:
• Enhancing open space
• Encouraging below average
price-point residential expan-
sion in town, affordable by
teachers, municipal
workers, etc.
• Promoting marine uses and
views along Cohasset harbor.
• Implementing "night skies"
zoning (standards lor exterior
lighting).
• Smart growth thiougii resi-
dential development, including
affordable housing in the
dow mow n area.
• Revisiting the zoning c< in-
cepts rejected by the 2005
Annual Town Meeting
(Demolition Delay. Earth
Removal. Large House Sile
Plan review i
• Addressing other issues in
the draft tow n Master Plan.
Vanderweil said any changes
to zoning will have to be voted
on by the town.

bor health committee, as all
three are currently working on
the issue in an informal work-
ing group.
Selectman Ralph Dormitzer
said he would also suggest Jim
Drysdale. 4 Cedare Acres
Lane, tor the committee due to
his experience not only as a
biochemist, but as an avid fish-
erman.
Sulli\an said the town should
potentially hire a professional
to do a complete anal) sis of the
harbor at sonic point in the
future, as there are so man) dif-
ferent factors that can cause
changes to the harbor, and it
might lake a professional to
pinpoint them all.
Vanderweil agreed and said
potentially the town could hire
a scientist from Woods Hole to
do a study.
"I do think it's something we
could fix." he said
At the Mas 31 meeting of the
board. Vanderweil suggested
the town work with Vine
Associates, the company which
is rebuilding the Border Street
seawall, to investigate grant
opportunities the town could
apply for. With funding, the
town could be proactive and
build a new seawall on Howard
Gleason Road which would
hopefully protect the marsh
from further deterioration.
Vanderweil said the topics he
has suggested are just a few to
get the ball rolling, so to speak,
and he encouraged the other
selectmen and residents to
come up with more ideas for
areas the town should be
improving on moving forward.
Tom Callahan. 35 Hillside
Drive, said he would like to set-
sewering added to the list.
Callahan said while the Little
Harbor area will receive the
connections it has always want-
ed. '"There are other people in
town." He said a $100,000
study for sewering the rest o!
the town, as passed at the
Annual Town Meeting, is not
adequate. "When much more
was spent on Little Harbor
alone."
The board will be having
ongoing discussions about
Vanderweil s recommendation v
and sub committees will be
appointed where necessary.
Any residents interested in
serving on committees to inves-
tigate economic development,
toning, or harbor health
should contact the selectmen \

in I9IIH. and sits on a 2.3 aciv island promontory at the
mouth of Cohasset Harbor and possess a spectacular 367/-

'She always wanted to be the highest fundraiser'
Relay team to walk
for Shelly Donze
By
SAMBH0WNtfCNC.COM
Shelly Donze speni her life
planting seeds. Wheiher
literally in the overflowing
garden of her Parker Street home,
or figuratively in the hearts of
those who knew her. her compas-
sion and nurturing way caused
wonderful things to bloom.
For roughly eight years. Don/e
fought a battle with breast cancer,
all the while tending to those
around her and spreading her love
of life to everyone she met. On
March 20. 2(X)5 the first day of
spring. Don/e passed away at the
age of 47. but her spirit will con-
tinue to live on through the many
people whose lives she touched.
On June 17 and IK. more than
50 people including family mem-
bers and friends from both
Cohasset and Hingham will gath-
er at Cohasset High School for the
ninth annual Relay for Life, to
walk in her memory. The
American Cancer Society's Relay
For Life is an overnight benefit
event in which team members
take turns either running or walk-
ing laps, trying to keep one team
member on the course at all times.
"Springtime for Shelly." the team
walking in Donze's memory, has
already surpassed its SI 0.000
goal.
"My lamily and I are very hon-
ored that a team has been formed
in memory of Shelly and her
ordeal with breast cancer. We are
also proud of the extent of partici-
pation in this team and how suc-
cessful (he team has already been
in exceeding its goals lor fund
raising. Shelly would have been
proud." said Jeff Don/e. Shelly's
husband.
Shelly's 13-year-old daughter
Margaux said she remembers
how her mother would participate
in the Relay every year, both as a
cixudinator and as a participant,
and how she would always set the
same goal for herself.
"She always wanted to be the
highest fund-raiser." said
Margaux. and it kxiks like this
year. Shelly's wish will come true.
At last count. "Springtime for
Shelly" had raised $10,390. more
than $1,700 of which was raised
by Margaux alone, which would
surely have made her mother
proud.
Shelly was diagnosed with
breast cancer in October 1997 and
in the spring of 1998. she partici-
pated in her first Relay for Life as
part of the First Parish Church's
team "High Spirits " However,
seeing an opportunity before her,
she later formed a team of her
own called "The Green
Roadmnners," which was made
up of members from Margaux 's
Girl Scout Troop, and inspired a
whole new generation of young
volunteers. As a co-leader for
Margaux's troop and as a former
teacher. Shelly taught her "Green
Roadmnners" about cancer and
the importance of the fund-raising
they were doing to help aid
research.
"Shelly was a third-grade
teacher for seven years in Texas
and at the American School in
England, as well as a special
needs tutor for children with
learning disabilities. Her work in
education with children in some
ways transposed to this event.
Shelly helped the girls understand
how cancer affects so many, and
assisted them in learning how
they could help by participating in
this event" said Jeff.
"Lots of people don't under-
stand how bad it is until someone
they know gets it" said Margaux.
But the Relay was not the only
volunteer effort Shelly was a part
of that had a positive impact on
those fighting cancer. She was
also co-coordinator of the
American Cancer Society Road to
Recovery program based in
Hingham. which organizes free
rides for patients to doctor
appointments and radiation treat-
ments. Always willing to lend a
helping hand. JcfYsaid Shelly was
busy working with the program
right up to her last month.
"She was extremely giving and
always took time for people." said
Jeff. "We miss her a lot"
When not volunteering. Shelly
had a wide variety of other hob-
bies to keep her busy. She was the
President of the Amateur Garden
Club of Cohasset. and could often
he found outside, most likely with
her golden retriever Toby, who
accompanied her everywhere she
went.
Shelly also loved to play tennis.
PMOtO COURTESY OF JEFF DONZE

the American Cancer Society.
and her ItVyear-old son Chris is
following in her footsteps as a
standout member of the varsity
tennis team at Cohasset High
School.
Shelly was also very musical
and Jeff said she would play
songs for hours on the piano in
their living room. She was also a
member of a knitting group,
which Jeff said was made up
mostly of retirees many years
older lhan her. But Shells enjoyed
their pace and approach to life and
didn't let age get in the waj of
forming new relationships. "She
was friends with even oik." he
said.
But while she enjoyed taking
things slow sometimes, there was
an adventurous side to Shells,
which actually brought her
together with her husband. The
two met while windsurfing. Jell
said while there was a part ol her
that was very sweet, and there
was also a part thai was sen
strong ami determined. He said
sometimes Shells would have
trouble getting back to shore if the
seas were too rough and he would
go out in a boat to bring her back
in. "She'd get mad at me every
linie," he said with a smile.
"She hated to give up on ans-
thing." he said, which is why he
believe* she w as able to fight her
bank ssith cancer for so long
"She's our hero," he said.
Jeff said events like the Relay
For Life are extremely important
because they provide the means
lor cancer research. Relay coordi-
nator Harry St Onge. a three-lime
cancer sunisor. said last year.
Cohasset alone raised more than
$1 52.000 with the help of 71X1
team members spread throughout
37 teams.
"We still don't know whs she
got cancer." Jeff said, even ssith
the extraordinary team of doctors
Shelly had working with her Jell
added doctors need the iix>ls to
find the pauses and cures and
lunding to help that mission is
vital. "We've got to protect the
next generation," he said. "We've
got to pn >tcct our children."

Opinion
EDITORIAL
Public comment
One of the benefits of being around Cohasset for a while is that
we've accumulated a lot of institutional memory.
In light of recent discussion at selectmen's meetings about the
"public comment period" it's a good time to take a little stroll
down niemor. lane.
When "yours truly" started covering Cohasset back in 1942.
there was no official public comment period - just a mention at
the end of selectmen's meetings if there were any questions or
comments from the public or the press.
These were the da) s he I ore the Tow n Manager form of govern-
ment and hoard meetings ran until 1 1 p.m. and later as a matter of
course. We sal there week in and week out watching members of
the public. w ho bad .1 pressing issue, wail patiently and then final-
ly give up and leave before (he) ever had a chance to speak.
It didn't appear to us that was (he right way ID treat citizens. And
it certainlv discouraged people from coming to meetings w ith a
concern or comment
So we suggested in an editorial - and the selectmen later adopt-
ed the practice - of following what Scituate selectmen have done,
which is to set aside about 1 1 1 minutes >hortI> alter the stan of their
meeting for public comment
However, with that being said, the public comment period was
never meant to prov idc an entiy point for angry citizens 10 come
and hijack a meeting. It is sup|*>scd to provide an opportunit) to
raise an issue which would then be put on a future agenda if it
couldn't he handled in the Id or IS minutes prov ided.
Of course, there will - and should - always be exceptions. There
are limes w hen the citizenry is riled up and lime is of the essence,
so the> come to selectmen to voice their concerns.
However, selectmen for the most part should he able to set a
meeting agenda Vt ith realistic time parameters so the\ can accom-
plish the business at hand. We think this is where newly elected
Selectman Gai) Vanderweil is coming from.
No selectman, who sincere!) wants to serve those who elected
him. would seek to stifle the public's right to speak and redress its
government
But no elected official wants to sit there and be subject to per-
sonal attacks or see the meeting's agenda blow up week after
week, w hile the audience conducts a gripe session.
There's a happ) medium here that should be able to satisfy ordi-
nary citizens while not letting them run away with the meeting.
We think returning to the 10- or 15-minute rule would be a good
step. If the matter can't be handled in that time frame, then put in
on the next agenda.
We implore selectmen not to schedule public comment at the
end of the meeting. That would serve as a wa\ to discourage input
and we hope the board does not want to see that happen.
Another form of public comment occurs alter a boar-' member
has made a motion and it's been seconded. Then the chairman
usually asks lor comment from the rest of selectmen and others in
attendance before the vote is taken. The audience should be
allowed to comment and use its powers of persuasion but should
do so in a concise enough manner so that the matter doesn't drag
on endlessly.
The chairman needs to wield the gavel and call for the vote
when he feels the issue has been sufficiently aired. If not. then
table the issue until a subsequent meeting.
Public comment is a balancing act. of sons, but an important
one. We think the current board is up to the task of encouraging
"transparency" and citizen input, while at the same time being
able to govern effectively.

Has anyone seen our shark?
To THE Editor:
We art- an elderly couple, having lived on the
shore of a South Shore town for 4()-soine
years. For some time we have been collecting
sculpture in a modest way and having been
associated with a graphics workshop and an an
gallery I Impressions) we came to know a num-
ber of artists and their work. One of the more
spectacular pieces as 'tree Shane" by Kitty
Wales, a well-known metal-working artist and
teacher at U Mass Boston. In her work she pn>-
duces series of w ild and feral animal studies
and in the process goes to unusual lengths in
the name of veracity, such as in this instance
donning a wet suit and sketching on a water
proof pad the swimming motions of sharks in
their native habitat. A troika of three of her tree-
dwelling sharks can be seen at De Cordov a
Museum and Sculpture Park in Lincoln.
Our particular shark was made out of
expanded metal, the fenestrated kind of sheet
steel that yard men use for their trailers. Just to
show how tough these critters are. the artist
placed in the belly an old skill saw blade and
several coiled band saw blades. The eight-foot
shark was suspended above the sea wall at the
edge of the ocean by two stainless steel cables
ETTERS TO THE EDITOR
"strong enough to hold the Queen Mary", this
from two mature oak trees. Suddenlv after
swimming happily in the tree tops for several
years, our shark disappeaivd.
We assumed that it had been brought down in
a winter Storm The experienced tree man who
had installed (he shark thought this most
unlikely and on further examination found
sharp instead of frayed ends of the cut cable.
He startled us w ith the pronouncement of. "our
shark was stolen" The most likely explanation
was that this was simply an elaborate prank
comparable to the MIT student productions
such as the mounting of a Ford tliver" on the
stately MtTdome.
In the interim we decided to the South Shore
Conservatory a sculpture garden designed and
executed by Ron Rudnicki. a well-known
sculptor and landscape architect. The sculpture
involved consisted of six pieces from our yard
and the seventh in absentia, namely our "Tee
Shark". I had always believed that she would
some day swim back to us. And seven is a very
magical number.
There if the clever and energetic perpetrators
of this unusual heist will return the shark, no
questions will be asked. Said shark may be left
on the Cohasset Common next to the flag pole.
It w ill swim again in the treetops. hut this time
This eight-foot metal shark sculpture has
disappeared
in the patch of woods beside the Stackenberg
Garden the South Shore Conservatory. This is
a far happier fate than moldering in the dark in
someone's bam, where I suspect it now is.

Some perspective on the 450-50'
COMMENTARY
GaryVanderwhii.
In light of the failure of "50/50" cost splitting
for Little Harbor in the May 21st debt exclu-
sion vote, I would like to review some history,
and provide an idea of the costs that will now
be involved.
When the original North Cohasset project
was first brought to town meeting for funding,
the article was written and presented as being
100 percent paid for by the users.
On the floor of town meeting, many North
Cohasset residents objected to this for two rea-
sons. One reason was that the North Cohasset
users were basically being forced to connect to
sewer because of litigation between Cohasset
and the state over our discharge permit to
Cohasset Harbor, as well as threatened litiga-
tion between Cohasset and Hull (to clean up
Straits Pond, an "Area of Critical
Environmental Concern"). Since they were
being forced to connect to sewer to solve what
was perceived as an overall town problem,
these residents felt that the town should con-
tnbute to the cost. The second reason was the
feeling that whenever a sewer was installed by
any town, it should be an overall municipal
project.
In addition to the comments by residents of
North Cohasset, many residents of Central
Cohasset spoke up. saying that they agreed
with 50/50 for North, and they hoped that in a
year or two when the expansion of the Central
District was brought forth for funding, that the
North Cohasset residents would support them.
for the same reasons.
These arguments prevailed at town meeting,
and a 50/50 cost split for North Cohasset was
agreed upon. Two years later, town meeting
approved the same split for the expanded
Central District.
Both the above decisions were also approved
by follow-on 50/50 Proposition 2-1/2 exclu-
sion votes.
The present expansion of sewering is for the
Little Harbor - Atlantic" Avenue District and the
Jerusalem Road - Deep Run District. Because
of the failure of the debt exclusion vote, sewer
users in these districts will pay relatively more
than those in the North and Central Districts.
The cost implication is roughly as follows:
Work on private pn>perty is thought to average
about $1 7,000 per bouse. Clearly, some hous-
es with large setbacks and copious ledge will
pay significantly more and others will pay sig-
nificantly less. Since this is work on private
property, it is not subject to 50/50. arid the
failed override will have no cost impact.
The public part of the project is for the infra-
structure work and is estimated at $27,4(X) per
house. Without the 50/50 split the users will
pay all of this, instead of only half. Assuming a
town betterment is issued to the house owners
for 20 years at 2.5 percent, annual cost to the
users will be SI. 760. Had the 50/50 passed,
annual user cost would have been $880.
It is historically interesting to note that some
of the residents in North and Central got a dou-
ble-whammy of a good deal. Not only did they
get 50/50 on the infrastructure, but those users
with grinder pumps also received 50/50 on the
private property work The Sewer Commission
at the time came up with what it thought was
the creative idea of defining the municipal pn>-
ject to incorporate the grinder pump service
connections on private property. This allowed
state equivalency grants to be applied to work
on private property, in essence providing a dis-
count for the private construction work. Then,
when 50/50 was decided upon, the 50% town
support was applied to the entire municipal
project, work on private property and all.
I have to say that it was difficult at the time
to make the residents of North and Central
realize what a good deal this creative arrange-
ment was for them. The sewer commission
received an inordinate amount of criticism
during the design phase for doing this, and
then when the bids came in higher than the
estimate (largely a result of the wariness of
municipal contractors to work on private prop-
erty) more criticism was heaped on it. And
then, during construction, previously unrecog-
nized special difficulties occurred on a lot of
the private property work, and a third round of
criticism was heaped on it. (Then, as now.
Sewer Commissioners needed to have thick
skins! ) Also, construction extras were necessi-
tated by these special conditions, which
helped exhaust the contingency budget and.
ultimately, after Central was completed,
necessitated a special town meeting to
approve 4 percent. additional funding.
As a result of all the difficulties with doing-a
public project encompassing private property,
the Sewer Commission at the time decided
that in the future, it would do only the street
infrastructure work under the public process,
and that the household connections would be
the responsibility of the individual homeown-

The threat we should know more about
COMMENTARY
GABRIH.GOMEZ
Sarah Lunde... Jessica Lunsford...Jciseta
yagc.Dru Sjodin... We are by now all too famil-
iar with (he stories of these innocent lives ended
abruptly, prematurely, and brutally by previously
convicted sex offenders. As parents we feel the pain
"f their loved ones. While our hearts reach out to
them for their loss, we simultaneously feel a tight-
ening in our chests as we wonder if our own chil-
dren could be at risk.
Should we be worried, living in such an idyllic
and community-oriented town such as Cohasset'.' I
am worried, and all of the horrible cases in the
news this year have heightened my awareness. The
fact is that none of the parents of the children in the
news thought that it could happen to them. Many of
Ihem were in small towns, places where they fell
that parents were looking out for each other's chil-
dren. Many of these were places like Cohasset
where you would recognize everyone's faces even
if you didn't know their names.
A search of the towns near Cohasset in (lie
Massachusetts Sex Offender Registry gives me
more concrete reason to worry. The search returns
223 "high risk" sex offenders living or working in
the nearby towns of Scituate. Hull. Weymouth.
Hingham. Norwell. Quincy. Marshfield and
Pembroke, including one in Cohasset. The scan,
part is what "high risk" means. No one knows
exactly how often convicted sex offenders strike

again after they've served their prison time — but
most studies put the number pretty high — one I
found said that 20 percent of child molesters will be
charged with a new sex offense within 5 years and
52 percent will be charged within 20 years. For me.
those numbers mean that the above mentioned
towns could expect 45 children to be sexually
assaulted within the next 5 years and 1 16 children
in the next 20 years. As a result. I'm very concerned
about the 223 registered offenders living and work-
ing in and jus! outside of Cohasset.
Given the risk, what's being done to protect our
children, and is it enough'.' As we all know well, we
have a wonderful police force of caring individuals
committed to safeguarding our community.
Further, our teachers and other public servants are
certainly watching out for us. Megan's Law in
Massachusetts requires sex offenders to register
with the state, providing information including an
address and a photograph. Slate Senator Scott
Brown is working on making that law more restric-
tive and preventing sex offenders from living near
HEALTH NOTES
schools and child-care facilities. Yet I'm worried
thai the laws aren't enough, because they've been
in place for several years now and yet despite the
specific information available on these individuals,
as a parent I couldn't tell you more than a vague,
stereotyped description of who specifically we
need to protect our children from.
I'm writing to pmpose that as a community we
come together to form a group of concerned citi-
zens dedicated to better informing ourselves on this
pressing threat to our children and making it easier
for others to do the same. Megan's Law in
Massachusetts says that every citizen has the right
to specific information on sex offenders, including
photographs, so long as he or she uses the informa-
tion to protect his or her own children.
It seems to me that armed with this information
we'd have a fighting chance at keeping our children
out of harm's way. If we were aware of names,
addresses, occupations and images, we'd actually
know if a threat had entered our backyard. I'd like
to propose that we found a citizens' group that pn>-
duces a newsletter using the specific public infor-
mation available. We could start by distributing a
newsletter in town, then follow up with an internet
site with this specific information on individuals
We would be centralizing the disparate information
currently available from many public sources and
make it easier for parents to become aware of p< 'ten
tial threats that are nearby. Perhaps we can call this
group PROTECT (Parents Reaching Out To
Eliminate Child-related Threats). Please contact me
if you'd like to join this group of concerned citizens

Ticks bites can cause disease
By Steve Bobo
SPECIAL TO THE MARINER
Now that the weather's getting better, hopefully,
we'll spend more time outdtxrrs. so it's important to
remember how to prevent tick bites. We tend to
think of Lyme disease as the principal disease we
can obtain from ticks. Unfortunately, however,
there are over a dozen other diseases we can con-
tract from ticks. Some species and life stages of
ticks are so small that they can be difficult to see.
but all hungrily look for animals and. sometimes
people, to bite.
We find ticks in various environments, often in or
near wooded areas; when walking through infested
areas or by brushing up against infested vegetation
(such as leaf litter or shrubs). Ticks also feed on
mammals and birds, which help maintain licks and
the pathogens they carry. Fortunately, there are
some simple steps you can take to protect yourself
and your family:
Protect yourself from tick bites by using a lew
simple precautions.
• Avoid tick-infested areas. Many local health
departments, parks, and cooperative extension ser-
vices have information about the areas most infest-
ed with ticks. If you are in a lick-inf ested area, walk
in the center of the trails to avoid contact with \cg-
etalion.
• Wear light-colored clothing, which allows you
to see licks that are craw ling on y our clothing Tuck
your pant legs into your socks so thai licks cannot
crawl up inside of your pant legs. Some licks can
crawl down into shoes and are small enough to
crawl through most socks. When traveling in areas
with lone star licks (which are associated with
Southern tick-associated rash illness, ehrlichiosis,
and Rocky Mountain spotted fever) you should
examine your feet and ankles to ensure that ticks
are not attached.
• Use chemical repellent wilh DEFT or perme-
thrin and wear protective clothing. Repellents con-
taining pcnncihrin can be sprayed on boots and
clothing. When used in this manner, the repellent
will he protective for several days Repellents con-
taining DEET (N. N-diethyl-ni-loluamide) can be
applied to the skin, but they protect for only a lew
hours before reapplicalion is necessary. Parents
should apply this product to their children, avoiding
the hands, eyes, and mouth. Contact the Board of
Health concerning the use of Deel w ith children.
• Perform daily lick checks Check your body for
ticks after being outdoors, even in your ow n yard.
Conduct a body check upon return from potential-
ly tick-infested areas by searching your entire body
for licks Use a hand held or full-length mirror to
view all pans of your body and remove any tick
you find. Check these parts of your body and your
child's body for licks: under the anus; in and
around the ears; Inside navel: back of the knees; in
and around the hair; between the legs, around the
waist.
• Check your children for licks, especially in the
hair, when returning from potentially tick-infested
areas.
• Check your clothing and pets for licks. Ticks
may be carried into the house on clothing and pets
Both should be examined carefully, and any ticks
that are found should be removed. Placing clothes
into a dryer on high heat effectively kills ticks See
the "Prevent ticks on animals" section of this page
for more information.
• Safely remove licks. Use fine-tipped tweezers
and protect bare hands w ith a tissue or gloves to
avoid contact w ith lick fluids. Grab the tick ck ise H 1
the skin. Do not twist or jerk the tick, as this may
cause the mouthparts to break off and remain in the
skin. Gently pull straight up until all pans of the
tick are removed. After removing the tick, wash
your hands with soap and water (or waterless alco-
hol-based hand rubs when soap is not available).
Clean the lick bite w ith an antiseptic such as iodine
scrub, rubbing alcohol, or water containing deter-
gents.
• Prevent licks on animals Prevent family pels
from bringing licks into the home. Maintain your
family pel under a veterinarian's care. Two of the
ways to get rid of licks on dogs and cats are putting
on lick medicine or using a lick collar. Be sure to
use these products according to the package
instructions. For more information on animals and
health, contact the Board of Health.

Ten years ago. some of the worst
atrocities in the history of mankind
took place in the country of Rwanda
— and in an era of high-speed com-
munication and round the clock
news, the events went almost unno-
liced by the rest of the world. In only
three months, one million people-
were brutally murdered.
Hotel Rwanda is the story of true-
life story of Paul Rusesabagina and
his amazing, heroic struggle. Don
Cheadle plays Paul Rusesabagina
magnificently as a hotel manager
who housed over 1.000 Tutsis in the
Hotel Des Milles Collines. When all
hell broke loose on Rwandan soil, be
was there lo shelter people in need. In
the face of unspeakable events,
inspired by his love for his family, an
ordinary man summons extraordi-
nary courage to save the lives of over
a thousand helpless refugees.
Prior to the film, there will be a pre-
sentation by Sister Anna Beata
The Cohasset Democratic
Town Committee will hold its
June meeting this Saturday. June
4 at 9 a.m. at the Paul Pran

Opinion sought for selectmen's comment period
Selectman Gary Vanderweil said he would like to see the public comment portion of the selectmen's meetings moved to the end of tlie agenda, rather than
the beginning where it is currently listed. He said thai way. if the comments an going to be lengthy, they can be put on the agenda for the next meeting.
This second proposed change was more welcome than his first, which w as announced at Ihe May 3 meeting of the board. Vanderweil had suggested sched-
uling a public comment period only once a month, w hich did not go over well with members of the board or the public who were in attendance that night
However, Selectman Rob Spofford said while he understands Vanderweil's point he would like lo hear the public's view on the matter.
"I would like to see it (public comment period) managed, but I think it's onerous to make the public wait," until the end of the meeting, Spofford said.
Selectman Chairman Fred Koed said he would like to postpone a vote on the matter until Selectman Michael Sullivan returns to allow all five board mem-
bers to have a say. In addition, the hoard will be accepting feedback from residents on the matter before making a decision. Those wishing to voice their
opinion may call the selectmen's office at 781-383-4105 Of make a submission in writing lo 41 Highland Ave.
Nudity, from
camp to resort
HENS HAW
T(A1 HlNSH W
Some 4()-<xld years ago. when America
was just coming to terms with a two-piece
bathing suit called the bikini, the fellow
who ran our shop came up with an idea for
a series of stones — ordinary people doing
extraordinary things.
Hugh was going to visit a nudist camp
and write about what n was like to lake off
one's clothes in public. Dave was to visit
Orange. Mass.. and describe what it felt like
to jump out of an airplane, with a para-
chute, of course. And I was to visit Ingemar
Johansson's training camp and spar a cou-
ple of rounds with the heavyweight champ
himself.
Arriving at the camp, he
dutifully removed his
clothing only to find that he
was more bashful than he
thought.
Only Hugh got to fulfill his assign-
ment. When a bigger boss than the one
in our shop heard thai one of his writers
was going to jump out of an airplane, he
put his landing gear down quickly. And
me . . . well, ihe fellows who were train-
ing Johansson to light Floyd Patterson
are probably still laughing.
Hugh's story of his weekend in the
nudist camp was a big hit and drew a lot
of fan mail, most of which came in plain
brown envelopes, but I can remember
only one incident that never appeared in
the story. Hugh told it to us himself,
keeping it out of print lest it arouse the
prurient interests of his readers.
Arriving ai ihe camp, he dutifully
removed his clothing only to find that he
was more bashful than he thought So he
lay down in Ihe grass and placed a copy
of ihe New York Herald Tribune strategi-
cally over his plump frame. He was
admiring the sights around him when a
passing young lady, naked as a jaybird,
looked down on him and asked. "May I
see your sports section '"
Well, maybe you had to be there . . .
I bring this up to show how standards
have changed in the 40-odd years since
we had to buy one of those magazines
they keep behind the counter just to find
that place ai the end of the dirt road in
the wilds of Pennsylvania where Hugh
was urged not to dress for dinner and
didn't need National Geographic and
Swedish photography magazines to study
anatomy.
All one needs to do now is place a call
to an agency like Bare Necessities Tour
& Travel of Austin. Texas, to sign on for
a nude summer cruise of European
waters for $2,295 or $6,595. depending
on one's need for comfort And don't tell
the agency you want a nudist camp.
They're nudisi resorts now.
"The bar has been raised." Nancy
Tiemann. owner of Bare Necessities, told
USA Today. "(Nudist camps) have come
from being live miles down a dirt road
behind a junkyard fence to really upscale
resorts that are a far cry from that."
Instead of the traditional volleyball.
Desert Shadows Inn Resort & Villas in
Palm Springs. Calif. ($200 a night),
offers nude hot air ballooning, moonlight
hikes in the nude and bus tours in which
you can take off your clothes and drive
by the homes of the stars, for reasons
that escape me.
You can even buy a home in a nudist
resort They start at $400,000 at the
Caliente Resort & Spa near Tampa, Fla.,
and at $250,000 at nearby Paradise
Lakes Resort, which is still under con-
struction and has been sold out already.
And not a Herald Tribune in sight to
hide the sports section.
Correction is noted

In he Scripture lessons for the
Third Sunday after Pentecost, we
hear in the Prophet Hosea that God
desires a faithful love and knowl-
edge of God rather than Heeling
emotions and ritual offerings.. Paul
in his Letter to the Romans explains
that the new relationship with God is
Open to everyone who follows in the
w ay of Abraham's faith.. Finally, in
the Gospel Jesus calls Matthew, the
tax collector, to be his follower and
acts as a friend to lax gatherers and
other sinners and outcasts.

Wednesday and Friday of this

Brerman on
MBTA board
After 40 years representing
Cohasset on the MBTA Advisory
Board, Louis Eaton of Beach
Street resigned from his post in
April, leaving an opening on the
board. Hearing of the vacancy,
Mendel Road resident and
Special Assistant to the Town
Manager for Greenbush
Engineering Mark Brennan wrote
a letter to Town Manager Bill
Griffin stating his interest in tak-
ing over in that role.
While no one can replace Lou,
I'm asking that you consider me
to backfill this voluntary position
for the town. With my current
and prior involvement with the
MTBA I believe I could be very
useful in this position and would
not let it interfere with my current
duties," Brennan wrote.
Griffin recommended to the
Board of Selectmen Tuesday that
it appoint Brennan to the commit-
tee.
"I think we've given due
notice," for the position, he said,
adding he thinks Brennan will be
a good fit.
The board agreed and unani-
mously voted to appoint
Brennan..
Library maintenance
Selectman Gary Vanderweil
said he was concerned to hear
there is not enough money in the
maintenance budget to make
some repairs at the Paul Pratt
Memorial Library. He asked the
board if it would request a period-
ic maintenance report from Town
Facilities Manager Brian Adams
which will outline where mainte-
nance items are being completed
and how much they cost. Town
Manager Bill Griffin said he
would work with Adams on the
issue.
Legal fees meeting
regarding Avakm
Selectman Gary Vanderweil
said because the water depart-
ment is currently in litigation with
developers from AvalonBay. he
would like to have a meeting with
the department to discuss how
much money is being spent in
legal fees, how the case is going,
and how much longer the depart-
ment expects the issue will be
going on. Vanderweil said the
matter will have to be discussed
in executive session.
Selectman Rob Spofford said
he was glad to hear Vanderweil's
interest because he had asked for
the same information more than
two months ago before
Vanderweil was elected to the
board, but members of the depart-
ment have not yet come in to have
the meeting. He said he hopes
their combined interest will help
push the scheduling of the meet-
ing along.

Uct> congratulated the Cohasset

Sunrise seniors have one thing in common.
They're all different.
At Sunrise , we celebrate all oj our residents
for the unique individuals they are. We
believe no two people arealike, so the care
and services u>e provide should never be
exactly the same.
This approach helps seniors live the
life they want to live, from beautifully
appointed living spaces to personalized
assistance and care. We call it resident-
centered senior living, and it begins the
day a senior walks into out community.

On the eve of whai he hopes is
a long stay in the Div. 3 slate
tournament. Cohasset boys
lacrosse coach Stu Curran said
Wednesday his team's postsea-
son success will be determined
by how it fares in the fundamen-
tal aspects of the game.
"At the high school level, it's
all about good ball possession,
good ball movement, and getting
the ball to your offensive play-
ers." Curran said. "If we play
sensible with the ball and keep
people from fast-breaking
against us. we're in good shape."
Of course, by the time you read
this, this could all be a moot
point. The Skippers, who earned
the 6th seed in this vear's tourna-
ment, hosted Wayland yesterday
in what figured to be an exciting
first round encounter.
If Cohasset is still alive today,
they take on the winner of yes-
terday's Austin Prep/Canton
matchup. If it's Austin Prep, the
game would be on the road;
Canton would have to travel to
Cohasset.
The Skippers will be bolstered
by the return of two defensemen
who missed a good part of the
season, sophomores Jeff Brown
and Conor Holway. Brown was
considered one of the best fresh-
men lacrosse players in the area
last year, and is a big addition to
a solid defensive core led by
senior Crandon Leahy, whom
Curran called his team's "train
wreck."
"Crandon is just a very large

Rizzotti scored 50 seconds into
the second half to tie the score at
5-5, it looked as though this first
round encounter would go right
down_to the wire.
But then Margot Spatola start-
ed doing Margot Spatola things:
game-set-match, Hingham.
After Rizzotu's goal, the visit-
ing Harborwomen went on a 5-0
run over the next seven minutes,
with Spatola scoring three of the
five and generally wreaking
havoc with her attacking runs
from midfield. When it was all
said and done. Hingham boarded
their bus with a 14-7 win.
After the game. Cohasset head
coach Torin Sweeney offered a
clear assessment of how what
had been a tied game turned into
a rather one-sided affair.

Only two weeks ago. the soft-

The Cohasset boys tennis
team kicked off their postsea-
son campaign yesterday with a
home match against Martha's
Vineyard (played after the
Mariner went to press).
If they won. the lOth-seeded
Skippers are scheduled to play
again today against the winner
of yesterday's Chatham-
Walpole match.
Chatham, the Div. 2 South 7-
seed with a 15-4 regular sea-
son record, would host
Cohasset. Walpole would have
to make the trek to Skipper-
vi He il they were victorious.
No matter how it shakes out.
Cohasset will be hoping to
play like they did last
Thursday against Sacred
Heart, and not how they did
the next day in their season
finale loss to Scituate.
Cohasset got four strong per-
formances in their 4-1 win
over SH. with all wins coming
in straight sets. Junior Nils
Sceery continued his superla-
tive season at first singles,
winning 0 and 1 . Sceery is 18-
2 on the season, with his only
two losses coming to undefeat-
ed Ryan Sweney of Norwell.
Blain Morin picked up a
straight-set win at third sin-
gles, as did the doubles teams
of Chris Donze/Chris
Pescatore and Owen Steven-
son/Josh Dupre.
The picture was not quite as
bright for the Skippers against
Scituate. The Sailors were 7-8
heading into the match, need-
ing a win in what was also
their season finale just to qual-
ify for the state tournament.
Cohasset had to be considered
strong favorites going in. but it
did not play out that way.
Sceery earned the lone point
in his team's 4-1 loss, defeat-
ing Scituate's Brad Anderson
6-1. 6-2. The rest of the
Cohasset team had troubles
with Scituate's new-look line-
up; Morin and Stevenson/
Dupre went to three sets, but
lost.
Cohasset coach Kent Parrot
wasn't sure what to make of
his team's performance.
"They just seem to have ups
and downs." he said. "It seems
like they play well against the
tough teams, and then not play
well against other teams."
Whereas the singles players
were the strength of the team
through most of the season.
Parrot said they have not been
as consistent down the stretch.
His doubles teams, though,
have been pretty strong at the
same time.
Parrot has been particular!)
impressed with the
Donze/Pescatore duo.
"They had a great win over a
Hingham team (two weeks
ago) that is arguably the best
team on the South Shore, other
than Duxbury." Parrot said.
Cohasset players and fans are
hoping it all comes together

In Lou of a dear friend
EXTRA
POINTS
Mike Spellman
V
Lou Molinari was a wonderful
man. and a wonderfully simple
man.
No need for qualifiers or fur-
ther explanations. Lou would
have blanched at that regardless
of who the subject was. more so
if it were him. That wasn't his
Style.
Say what's on your mind ami
move on. That was Lou's lesson
in life as well as journalism,
i It was just one of the things I
'learned from my friend, this won-
derfully simple man who ren-
dered this world a bit less won-
derful by leaving it last Friday.
Lou, at the age of 70, was 29
years my senior. At my age. he
had been an assistant sports edi-
tor for the Patriot Ledger, back
when the Patriot Ledger had a
sports section to be proud of.
"I liked writing about sports,
but maybe I wasn't real good at
that so they asked me to start lay-
ing out pages." my unwaveringly
unassuming friend once told me.
the ever-present grin on his face.
"I guess I was a little belter at
doing that because they let me do
it for a while."
Technically speaking. I was
Lou's boss. Literally speaking, he
taught me so much more than I
taught him.
In point of fact, the only things
of value I ever "taught" Lou were
related to the computer. When he
finally relented and switched
from typewriter to PC a little
more than four years ago. there
were a few things he needed to be
shown, beginning with how to
turn it on. But 1-ou got through it,
laughing every time his lack of
technical understanding got in
the way.
Lou left his position as assistant
sports editor at the Ledger many
years ago to open a decorator
business in Cohasset. When that
venture went under, he seized a
chance to return to his first lov e:
covering school boy sports.
Up until a few months ago. Lou
was writing upward of a dozen
stories per week between the
CNC and Bridgewater weekly
papers. He certainly wasn't doing
it w ith any hope of getting rich.
Though he probably could
have used a little more money, he
never complained about it. Two
or three times over my five-year
tenure as CNC sports editor. Lou
asked me if there was going to be
any money added to the stringer
budget.
My reply always started in the
form of an apology. Indeed. I fell
badly we could not give someone
with his resume, compassion,
level of reliability and unique
voice a little bump every now
and then.
I don't think I ever got through
the apology, however.
"Don't worry about it." he'd
cut me off. He'd always add
things such as: "I'm not going
anywhere. I know you're doing
the best you can with what you
have. 1 appreciate the work. I
have fun doing it."
All vintage Lou. Life was too
short to get in a squabble.
That's just one of the many rea-
sons I enjoyed talking to Lou so
much. Whether he stopped by the
office or we hooked up on the
phone, our conversations were
seldom short or business only.
Lou had such a great perspec-
tive on things. He seemed to hav e
two simple rules in his life: If it
makes you happy, do it. If you're
not happy, keep your mouth shut.
One of the things that seemed
to make Lou happy was making
friends Let's just say Lou had
lots ol reasons to be happy.
Lou was humble man. Alter he
lost his business in Cohasset. he
worked as a delivery man well
into 60s. and kept going even
after a couple of scares w ith his
heart.

what we envisioned." he said.
"These kids have given ii their
all. and have really made us
proud."
The turning point came last
Friday when weather forced
Cohasset to host a doublehead-
er. The Lady Skippers lined up
their opponents like bowling
pins.
Holbrook stepped onto
Freedom Field at 2:30. The
Lady Skippers knew this was
their game to win. Christina
Pinkus hurled 1 1 strikeouts to
freeze up the opponents" bats.
Emily Nash. Katie James.
Anna Haggerty. Virginia
.Spofford, and Laura Campedelli
all produced on the offensive
end. Cohasset wasted no time in
this one. earning a 1 2-3 victory.
But they weren't ready to rest
on their laurels.
Before the Skippers could
catch their breath. Nantucket
stepped up to the plate. Fatigue
did not fa/.e Cohasset even after
the exhausting battle against
Holbrook.
Pinkus pitched another solid
game, this time with 13 strike-
outs. Her ami must have ached
after this game.
Haggerty. Campedelli. and
Erin Liddell showed great inten-
sity in the field and gave Pinkus
the defensive backing she need-
ed to get the job done.
Nash, Spofford. Haggerty. and
Alida Tangherlini all pounded
in runs for the Skippers. This
team effort yielded a 9-0
Skipper shutout. Quite a con-
trast to Cohasset's lopsided loss
earlier in the season to Ihe
Whalers.
"This win felt really good,"
said Spofford. "We kept up our
stamina and hammered away.
This was a win we really need-
ed, and we played like we want-
ed it."
As the sun Finally poked
through the clouds on Sunday
afternoon, the Lady Skippers
kept the momentum going on
the home front. Cohasset threw
the party and Sacred Heart pro-
vided ihe excitement.
It was now or never for their
tourney invite. A combination
of defense and some tricky base
running earned Cohasset a 5-1
victory, their 1 0th win. and a
coveted spot in the state tour-
ney!
Pinkus threw another out-
standing game, striking out 14.
The right side of the field'
namely Melissa Crowley-Buck;,
Liddell. and Spofford - got most
of the action. To no one's sur-
prise, they handled the plays
very well.
With the invitation to the post-
season a done deal, the girls ran
down to Mashpee for the regu-
lar season finale. The Falcons
caved in by. a 20-8 score.
Pinkus. Spofford. and James
split this game on the mound,
each doing her part to ground
the Falcons. Haggerty,
Spofford. Pinkus. Liddell. and
Crowley-Buck generated runs
at Ihe plate.
"This was the icing on the
cake." said Bostwick. "Along
with giving us more confidence,
this win should help our seeding
in the tournament. For the girls
to jell as a team late in the sea-
son is exactly what a coach
hopes for."
Should they get by the
Bishops. Cohasset would take
on Ihe winner of yesterday's
game between Tri-County and
Diman (details can be found on
www.massachusetts.ihigh.com>.
Hopefully ihey can keep their
seven game winning streak
alive in the postseason.

run begins today
By Mark Goodman
MG00DMAN«>CNC COM
The Cohasset girls tennis
team's quest lor a third straight
Div. 2 South sectional title
begins today.
the Skippers will take on the
winner of yesterday's prelimi-
nary round match between
Abinglon and Dedhani today at
3:30 p.m. at the courts adjacent
to Milliken Field.
The girls are. ol course, quite
familiar with South Shore-
League foe Abinglon. having
split with them during the regu-
lar season. With their full line-
up, however. Cohasset would
have to be considered the
strong favorites in the rubber
match, should it come to that.
If the Skippers overcome that
obstacle, they would advance
to the sectional quarterfinals to
take on whoever emerges from
the Westwood-Bourne-Sacred
Heart bracket. WestwixKl. ihe
number-4 seed with a 14-2
record, is the favorite in that
group and would host Cohasset
in that round (the Skippers are
the 5-seed).
The section's top three seeds
are. in order (with regular sea-
son records in parenlhesesl:
Medtield(IS-()).()ld Rochester
(17-11 and South Shore League
champion Norwell ( 14-2).
The Held is loaded, with 26
teams total qualifying for Div. 2
South, but Cohasset has Ihe
weapons to make another seri-
ous postseason run. Elizabeth
Stone, of course, is a near-auto-
matic point at first singles, and
junior Susan Curry has
emerged as a solid second sin-
gles performer.
The likely first doubles
learn is the freshmen duo of
Meg Anderson and Sally
Meehan. who advanced to the
South semifinals in the indi-
viduals tournament before
losing to the eventual section-
al champion from Barnstable.
Al second doubles will likely
be Rachel Garber and Emilie
Shea, forming one of the
area's strongest second dou-
bles landems.

By now, you've probably
heard or read all the accolades
for Norwell freshman Susan
Bitelti and her performance in
Saturday's South sectional final.
As copious as the praise has
been, it is all well-deserved.
Bitelti was matched up with
Cohasset senior Elizabeth Stone
for the third lime this season, the
two stars of the local tennis cir-
cuit having split their two match-
es in team play. On this day,
however, ii was all about the
South Shore's two best female
high school tennis players.
Stone came to win. having fall-
en in the sectional final the past
two years to Brookline's Katrina
Elder-Bush. Probably the
favorite to win this tournament
before the year started. Stone
played great in front of the solid
turnout at Duxbury High School.
The only problem, from
Stone's perspective anyway, was
that Bitetti played even better,
and took home the first place tro-
phy with a 7-5. 6-3 win.
Bitetti has certainly played
some great matches this season,
and this one may have been her
best.
"It's definitely up there." she
said minutes after the match.
'The way I hung in there after
being down 3-0 in the first set.
I'm proud of the way it all turned
Indeed. Stone appeared to be
in control early. Bitetti was hav-
ing difficulty getting her first
serve in. and Stone made her pay
with some great second serve
returns and a couple strong back-
hand winners.
"I was just in the /one for those
first three games." Stone said
afterward. "I think Susan was a
little tentative at first, but then
she really stepped ii up."
Down 3-0 and with her oppo-
nent serving. Bitetti had to turn
things around, and fast. And she-
did, starting with that fourth
game, as she broke serve by sim-
ply hitting back everything
Stone had to offer. Bitetti quick-
ly tied up the set at 3-3. and had
Stone running all over the court
to catch up with her shots.
Momentum shifted yet again
in the next game, however, as
Stone came back from a 0-30
hole to break Bitetti 's serve with
four great winners in a row.
The momentum changed again
- this time, for good - in the nexl
game, one that featured six
deuces. Stone had two advan-
tages in the game, bui Bitetti bat-
tled back from both of them and
tied the set at 4-4.
"It would have
been nice to win,
but I'm not going
to be disappointed
or upset about it
That's just not
healthy."
F.li/abeth Stone
After splitting the next two
games. Biletti took the next iwo
and the set In the set's final
game, the Norwell freshman hit
a couple ama/ing shots - includ-
ing a lob after Stone had come lo
the net - and a big forehand,
cross-court winner lo finish oft
ihe sei.
"I was a little nervous [before
the match | : this is obviously a
big match. But the biggesi relief
was winning that firsi let,"
Bitetti said "But I knew I had lo
step il up even more in the sec-
ond set."
It took a few games, but siep il
up she did. Neither player could
hold serve in the second set's
first four games, and it appeared
as though whoever held serve
first would take control of the
set. Bitetti outlasted Stone dur-
ing a few long points, and indeed
held serv e for a 3-2 set lead
That lead quickly became 5-2.
as Bitetti was now hitting on all
cylinders. Stone was not going
to go quietly, however, and won
Ihe nexl game with a blistering
forehand dow n the line.
Bitetti refused lo let her oppo-
nent gel back into the match
though, finishing things off with
a strong final game.
"I was thinking about ihe lasl
time we played, and I had seven
match points before I finally
won," Bitetti said "I was kind of
nervous that would happen
again."
It didn't, and Norwell's fresh-
man phenom can now call her-
sell the South Shore's best.
Many figured this was the
Cohasset senior's award lo win
this year, bui in her typical,
admirable sty le, St< me would not
gel down on herself afterward.

nothing lo be ashamed of." she
said "F.h/abeth is just a great

together - Lou. Jr. and Scotty.
"Our idea of a big night on the
town was going to Dunkin
Donuts for a coffee and muf-

two days after she became a
widow. "But that was great for
me. Lou and I had a good lime

Ginny was a pillar of strength
when she called me Sunday
morning to break the news of
Lou's passing. She thanked me
for being Lou's friend. 1. on the
other hand, could barely hold it

I'm doing better now. It helps
lo know Lou made it to the end
a happy man. He didn't need
much beyond the love of a good

voung man who runs very well."
Curran said of the 6-foot-3. 2(X>-
pound Leahy. "If you're an
opposing attack man. you have to
know where he is. because he
causes a lot of hav oc back there."
Cohasset will also need to see
solid midtield play lo continue
from Ihe likes of Joe Durkin.
Matt Casey. Michael Grimm.
Trevor Brady and Sam Steele.
Durkin has been a good, consis-
lenl performer all season long.
"Joe has been a workhorse lor
us all year." Curran said. "He
does a lot of blue-collar stuff thai
is critical to the team's defense
Defensively, he is really strong."
Up front, of course, are
Cohasset's two leading scorers.
Jake Previte and Aidan Buick.
Previte recently broke tlie school
record for career points, held h\
Jamie Buick. Curran said he
thinks thai, with ihe exception of
Duxbury. his attack tandem is as
good as any on the South Shore.
"li s noi aboul us getting 75
shois on net: it's aboul getting
seven or eight really good shots
out of each of those guys."
Curran said.
If the Skippers are still alive
today, they likely will have fol-
lowed their coach's number-one
rule for each game
"Starting with the opening
whistle, each kid has lo make a
commitment to do one thing bel-
ter than the opponent in every
shift." Curran said.
An early ending for lady laxers
FROM LADY LAXERS. PAGE 15
"The best player on the field
Kxik over." he said. "We had
marked |Spatola] pretty well in
the first half, but we missed her
on transition a couple times in
the second. I don't think it was
from a lack of effort on our part:
it was just a couple missed
assignments."
Indeed, the Hingham senior
was held in check for the first 25
minutes, her only point being an
assist on a goal from Christine
Sowyrda. Cohasset's Miranda
Lan/ilkmi. Marissa Evans and
Molly Kirk all played light
defense in their half of the field,
with much of the focus aimed at
Spatola.
Spatola finished with a flour-
ish, however, scoring four goals
total in the second half, the last of
which coming with 7:53 left in
the game to give Hingham an
insurmountable 12-7 lead.
The Harborwomen co-captain
said after the game the difference
between the two halves was her
team speeding up the game and
attacking in transition.
"It was getting frustrating in
the first half: |Cohasset| had the
ball most of ihe lime." Spatola
said. "Once we got it going in
transition, that's when we started
scoring. We've been working on
our transition game all season,
and we did really well with it
ttxlay. I just think ihey weren't as
quick as us in their transition
defense."
Hingham jumped out to a 2-0
lead in the game's first two min-
utes on goals from Danielle
Russell and Abby Harris. Both
scores were set up by nice passes
from Beth Mellors.
Lisa Spirito got one back for
Cohasset three minutes later, and
the teams traded goals for the
rest of the half. Russell got
another one for Hingham lo
make it 3-1. but Lindsay Durkin
answered with a sterling individ-
ual effort.
Sowyrda then got her goal, her
first of three on the afterntxm.
Durkin again answered for
Cohasset, with Hingham's Kerri
Doherty and Ri//otti rounding
out the first half scoring. The
Harborwomen went into the
break with a 5-4 lead.

Alter Rizzotti tied it up. Russell
scored her third goal of the day lo
give Hingham a lead they would
not relinquish. Spatola proceeded
to score three of the next four,
with a Sowydra tally in the mix
as well.
Cohasset goals down the
stretch b\ Rizzotti and Cassie
Rosano did little lo stem the tide,
as Hingham also got goals in the
closing minutes from Doherty.
Spatola. Sowyrda and Megan
Hardcy lo hold on lo the solid
victory.
Hingham head coach Cory
Fbrd (wife of Cohasset athletic
director Ron Ford, setting up a
little subplot on ihe sidelines)
said afterward she felt the
Skippers had outworked her team
in ihe lirsl hall, and let that he
known in her halftime talk.
"At the half, we discussed the
fact that Cohasset wanted ii
more." said Ford. T asked my
team. 'Do you guys want to win
or not?'"
They seemed lo gel the mes-
sage. Whereas the Skippers were
winning most of the 50-50 balls
in the first frame. Hingham got
the overwhelming majority of
them in the second, in addition to
controlling most of the face-off s.
Credit must also be given lo the
Hingham defense, who did a fan-
tastic job of marking Cohasset's
two leading scorers. Rizzotti and
Mackenize Holway. Marianne
Black. Katie McCann and Tori
O'Doherty-Popp all routinely
pounced on Rizzotti whenever
she forayed into the attack /one.
For Cohasset. it was the end of
a good run that saw them finish a
program-best 10-7. Sweeney
said he saw his team peak at the
end of the year, adding that he
feels with a little more work over
the off-season, his team can
break through and win some
tournament games next season
As for his five seniors this year
- Riz/otti. Holway, Lanzillotti.
Kirk and Danielle Hajjar -
Sweeney was very appreciative
of what they have meant to the
Cohasset girls lacrosse program.
"Those five girls came into the
program the lirst year 1 coached it.
I think their dedication to the
lacrosse has brought the program
lo the next level, and my hope is
now for the underclassmen to take
it even further." Sweeney said.

their ouisianding performances'
academically, in sports, and in
the arts, but because they will be
the last he will see graduate as
his 19-year career in the district
comes to a close.
The former long-time assis-
tant principal served as interim
principal this year. Holbrook
Junior Senior High School
Principal Joel Antolini will be
taking his place next year.
This year's class has given
DeLoren/o some of his fondest
memories. He said every day
he l<H)ked forward to break
"with my special tabic." He
said be is also very proud of the
Spinnaker stall which produces
the school new spaper, as well as
the large number of students
who participated in extra-curric-
ular programs. He also said he
is thrilled with the number of
college acceptances for the
seniors this year.
Throughout the course of the
year, there have been many
highlights DeLorenzo said he
will never forget.
"School began with a new
enthusiasm." he said, and the
undefeated football team helped
give a boost to school spirit.
While he said there were a small
amount of students at the wel-
come back dance and home-
coming who did not "make
good choices and drink choco-
late milk" as he would remind
them every Friday afternoon, by
the end of the year, all dances,
including the junior/senior semi
formal and the prom and post-
prom party were a major suc-
cess.
In November. DeLoren/o said
the Powder Puff football game
between the junior and senior
girls was excellent and the fall
drama production of "Grease"
was theatrical talent at its finest.
The exceptional holiday concert
following the drama production
further proved the class of 2005
has an abundance of artistic
ability. That talent continued to
be showcased by the instrumen-
tal music programs and chorus
throughout the spring.
Whfll will always set the class
apart in Del.oren/o's mind is
the wild weather Ihev had to
face, with an abundance of
snow falling throughout the
month ol January. But even
with the disruption of schedule,
the winter sports teams were a
huge success — especially the
wrestling team which won the
Slate Championship. But the
wrestling team wasn't the only
one to secure a stale title, the
girls and boys lacrosse, girls and
boys tennis, and the softhall
team all made their Slate
Tournaments as well, and
DeLoren/o couldn't be more
proud.
With the achievements of the
year behind the Class of 2005,
there are only more milestones
to come and DeLoren/o will be
there to hand out diplomas that
will set the next adventure in
motion. Without a doubt, there
will surely be students who [KM

"Some might question
whether our freedom is really
at Stake," Sullivan said. '•Bui I
sincerely believe it is. As a stu-
dent of terrorism. I can tell you
the very purpose behind ter-
rorism is to cause instability
and the eventual breakdown of
the status quo.
"...To allow this to go
unchecked, allow it to happen
on our soil, in our house (as
they say) and the results could
and would be disastrous for
our country, our Constitution
and our way of life."
Gold Star mother June
Simeone. whose son Craig
was killed in Vietnam on
Memorial Day 36 years ago.
placed the wreath on the
Veterans Honor Roll honoring
all those servicemen and
women who lost their lives.
Then roughly a dozen young
flower girls threw flowers into
the harbor to remember those
lost at sea.
For at least one spectator.
Cohasset's Memorial Day
observances were a firs! .
Ros Burrows. XO, hails from
Cheshire. England, and was
visiting Cohasscl for a wed-
ding. A relative. Robert Yates
married Jill Hamilton, daugh-
ter of Jim and Laurie Hamilton
of King Street.
"It's been most memorable."
Burrow s said about her entire
visit and Memorial Day in par-
ticular. Staying at the Cohasset
Harbor Inn. she couldn't help
but see and hear the day's
observances unfolding and
came out to be one among
upwards of 2,(XK) spectators.
"My husband was a mer-
chant seaman during World
War II." she recalled. "His
ship landed American soldiers
at Normandy." His ship also
carried food and supplies
from America to England to
help with the war effort.
She said her husband would
bring her nylons given to him
from the "American boys."
"This was very impressive
and very moving." she said of
the ceremony. "And then I
think about those lads in
Iraq."
Janet Palmer, also from
England and visiting for the
same wedding, said she was
touched and surprised by "this
taste of America." Palmer,
who was born in l'J44. said
she was "a war baby" and her
mother had to travel to Oxford
to give birth because London
was too dangerous.
Sullivan. the keynote
speaker, said she hoped tradi-
tions like the Memorial Day
parade and ceremony would
continue.
"Most of all. my hope and
the hope of every veteran, is
that every time you hear our
National Anthem, w hether at a
sporting event or a ceremony
such as this." she said. "You.
too. will stand proudly, face
the flag that stands for free
dom. the I reedom that our lost
heroes fought so courageously
to preserve, place your right
hand over your heart, and
remember.*'

I would like to thank Steve

for inviting me to speak today,
the Reverend Mulvehill. for set-

with the invocation, and I would
also like to personally thank all
of you for joining us for this
Memorial Day ceremony.
I've had the opportunity to
march in this parade and partici-
pate in this ceremony over the
past few years and it is so
rewarding to see so many lining
the parade route year after year. It
is especially rewarding to see so
many families watching and par-

reinforces my belief that our

to the veterans and the active

are my heroes.
Sacrifice. It is. in the context of
war. the act of giving up one's
own life or risking injury to one's
self for the sake of something
having a more pressing claim.
Today. American cili/ens across
this great nation and around the
world are remembering the men
and women who paid the ulti-
mate sacrifice - those who gave
their lives for the sake of some-
thing having a more pressing
claim - freedom. They gave their
lives for the sake of our freedom
Until a few short years ago.
Memorial Day it seemed, was a
day that we remembered heroes
of wars from years, decades,
even centuries past. But today we
also remember men and women
who have lost their lives in the
War on Terrorism.
The War on Tem>rism is unlike

any other in our history. The
enemy is illusive, they are not
wearing a uniform, they hide
behind innocents: there are no
clear battle lines: the attacks
seem random and unpredictable:
the tactics are unconventional.
But there is a common thread,
nonetheless. A thread that ties
this war to .ill the others, and thai
is that the men and women who
paid the ultimate sacrifice gave
their lives for the sake of some-
thing having a more pressing
claim - freedom.
Some might question whether
As ,i student of terrorism, I cm
tell you that the very purpose
behind terrorism is to cause insta-
bility and the eventual break-
down of the status quo. In the
success of then attacks, our cm
/ens would begin to question the
effectiveness of our government
and lose confidence in our lead
ership
In rcs|x>nso to the attacks we
would have to change the status

erties in the effort to prevent fur-
ther attacks. Allow this to go

How to Find Real Estate
for 30% to 50%
Below Market Value
DISCOVER THE HUGE SOURCE OF PROFITS MOST REAL ESTATE INVESTORS OVERLOOK
"/ can show you from firsthand experience, it can take just a couple
hours of your time to position yourself to make tens of thousands
of dollars in real estate." J.G. Banks, legendary probate investor
You cm buj choice real estate foe
JO percent to 50 percept of its market
value, sell it quicfcl) for its hill price,
and make tens ol thousands of
dollars on just iboui ever)
investment.
You can do ihis with single-family
houses. Duplexes. Condominiums.
Apartment buildings. Strip malls
Office huildings. Ranchland. Farms.
All npes of real estate.
The reason these bargain properties
exist is that they are part of an estate
that's in probate. Don't let the word
"probate " scare you. There is no
legal mumbo jumbo involved. When
you acquire real estate that's part of
someone's estate, you're simply
helping beneficiaries settle the estate
by purchasing its assets.
In just a few hours each Week — less
tunc than most folks spend watching
TV during a single e\ening — you
can learn to cash in with estates by
following my easy-to-follow '•estate
mining system.''
A \lltgU mom null three teenagers
used m\ \\ Mem m purchase ihe home
she never thought the could afford.
Bui w hen you gel ihe properly for
halt prit e. that's what can make the
difference.
In ever) neighborhood, it's possible
that one or two properties, and
maybe more, are in probate. You can
find profit-making opportunities
close to home. Ben areas of town
you only dreamed of moving to can
suddenly become affordable when
he pr.ee ..I real estate drops ... hull.
To Make Big
BUY 10W
Rest assured. I'm not talking about
rundow n foreclosures, bankruptcies,
or condemned properties like the
slew of so-called "real estate gurus."
Properties in probate can be beautiful
homes with no mortgage or debt
attached, making them some of the
cleanest and easiest of all real estate
to buy low and sell high quickly.
There is no "For Sale" sign out front,
and lew people know where to find
these properties. But for those who
do. it can he a land of riches and the
fastest route I know to making big
money in real estate.
Why Such
Incredible
Bargains
Everywhere?
Not every beneficiary wants to keep
the property they inherited. Perhaps
the estate involves people who live
out of state and they don't want to
change their lives. If a house is
willed to more than one person, it's
likely the property must be sold to
ensure everybody gels their share.
Plus, most beneficiaries want their
money quickly Fifty dollars today is
a lot better than ihe promise of $100
sometime off in the future.
Especially when attorney fees are
eating away at that $100 value. So
you have highly motivated sellers
who appreciate you're helping them
get on with their lives.
Believe It or Not.
a 300% Gain Can
Be "All In a Bay's
Work"
The potential to make significant
money is huge. For example, if you
purchased just one property at a 30
percent discount, and then resold the
property for 100 percent of its market
value, you'd make about $45,000 on
a property worth $150,000. And with
my system, it may not even take a
lull week's effort to do this.
But here's how you leverage your
money to make gigantic profits...
assuming you put down 10 or 15
percent to purchase the property,
when you quickly sell for full market
value, the gain on your initial down
payment could easily be more than
300 percent.
Real estate has long been a proven
path to making millions of dollars.
Almost any one can walk along this
path, and I believe that no route has
more money making potential than
the one you'll discover in my FREE
workshop.
How to Get the
Cash to Buy
Properties
In addition to learning why it's
possible to regularly purchase real
estate for as little as 50 cents on the
dollar, you'll also discover it's
possible to get the cash to fund your
offers to buy properties. That means,
you do not have to have money in the
bank.
My system is so comprehensive that
the State of California accredited it.
But like just about everything in life,
it works best if you work at it.
A gentleman from Dallas purchased
IH probate properiiesfkis first yean /
Another student bought a vacant hit
for $40,000 less than comparable
lots on ihe same street.
You won't find a book on "How to
Make Money in Estates" at
bookstores. My FREE workshop is
the only way to start learning the
secrets of "estate investing."
More than $3 trillion dollars worth of
assets are in probate. It's a buyer's
paradise. Yet there are very few real
estate investors who know about it.
I guarantee that if you attend my
FREE workshop and put yourself "in
the know." you'll be positioned to be
"in the money" as never before.
TOP FIVE REASONS TO
ACQUIRE PROBATE PROPERTIES
□ BARGAIN BASEMENT PRICES: The probate market is full of
fabulous properties you can snap up for 30% to 50% below
market value. Get the home of your dreams for your family, or
resell quickly and be positioned to capture a lifetime of gams
within days. It's the ultimate 'Buy Low/Sell High" scenario.
O HUGE INVENTORY: There are almost six million estates in
probate, with assets worth trillions of dollars. Every type of real
estate — from houses to beachside motels — are in probate
According to the Los Angeles Times, there are nearly 44 times
more probate properties than properties in foreclosure.
Q BUYER'S MARKET: Purchasing property out of an estate
assures you of a highly motivated seller. Most beneficiaries are
anxious to sell the house (and other unwanted assets) so that
they can pay off debts attached to the estate that must all be
settled before the estate can be distributed.
□ ALL KINDS OF TREASURES: Historic architecture, classic
cars, fine jewelry, antiques, art, toys, collectibles, and much
more enter into probate every day Millions of items. And they
can sit there for years unless you rescue them.
Q IT'S A SECRET: Few people know how to find and purchase
property from an estate. Even the beneficiaries don't know how
to sell. That means, as a "first in" estate investor, you have
little or no competition from other buyers — plus you're
helping anxious sellers.
Protecting Your Estate. Protects Those You Love
The secrets of probate can help save your own estate from costly and unnecessary
legal hassles, delays, and severe devaluation. Discover powerful strategies that
will help ensure that your loved ones get their rightful inheritance quickly.
How to Buy Almost Anything
for 30% to 50% Off
BUSINESSES. CLASSIC CARS. ANTIQUES. ART.
COLLECTIBLES. TREASURES OF ALL KINDS.
There's a whole world of assets
beyond houses. To start, there
can be commercial real estate
including industrial parks and
offices. Plus all kinds of personal
property — - even businesses.
An enterprising young man
turned his love for cars, and the
knowledge he gained from the
J.G. Banks workshop, into a
career. The man purchased an
auto shop that the beneficiaries
had no interest in. He and his
brother own and run the
business, creating for
themselves a potential lifetime
of profits from one estate
purchase. The flow of wealth
didn 'I stop there. Our student
also netted over $22,000 in
profit on four cars. All four
vehicles were acquired using the
W. Banks system.
An estate can be your quickest
way to acquire a prime business
for pennies on the dollar. You
can run it. or sell it quickly for
market value and position
yourself for substantial gains.
Estate hunting is also a great way
to start an e-business, auction ofT
your findings, and cash in on the
new, thriving e-based economy.
One of our students made profits
of 1.000 percent to 3.000 percent
on the possessions he found in
estates and then quickly sold.
There is a potential windfall in
every estate you search.
You can use probate to build a
tidy business around just about
any item or collectible that
interests you. Millions of items,
and real estate, end up as "buried
treasure hidden in probate.

" explained director Daniel Goldstein. 29. by telephone recent-
ly. "We were both interns, along with music director Michael
Friedman, for Nicky Martin at the Williamstnwn Theatre Festival.
A lot of what I have learned in my career. I have learned from
Nicky. That he thinks of me now as a fellow director and colleague
is an honor which I can't quite process because Tm so busy with
this show."
"Falsettos" — a joining of two separate one-act shows.
"March of the Falsettos" (1981) and "Falsettoland" (1990) —
revolves around a gay man's efforts to blend his disparate relations
into a new kind of family to include his ex-wife and young son.
his lesbian neighbors, and also his HIV-positive boyfriend. The
show was produced on Broadway in 1992 when AIDS was still a
front page story. With the help of a first-rate cast of Broadway per-
formers and a young, energetic design team, Goldstein has set out

Company', production ot Tatoetto.. ' playing through June 26 at
"The issues that were at stake in this piece in the 1980s and
1990s are still important today. Our new approach includes a pro-
duction look that is very different from what has been done with
the show before. The Huntington space is very large, so we're
using a series of Iris curtains to close off the space in different con-
figurations, making the show more intimate." says Goldstein.
"And, quite simply. Bill Finn has written a masterpiece. It does
exactly what any great show is meant to do. which is to retain its
irnrnediacy. It is a wonderful story about family. I don't qualify it
as just a gay musical. You have every kind of person, couple and
family depicted. It's a true family musical."

Study on area
noise pollution
By Samantha Brown
SAMBR0WNWCNC.COM
Towns on both ihe north and
south shores are affected on a
daily basis by the noise flights
arriving and departing al Logan
International Airport generate.
Any time, day or night, the all-too-
tamiliar din ol the engines inter-
rupts phone calls, wakes residents
rrom their sleep, and are jusl a
plain nuisance.
For more than 25 years, com-
munities surrounding Logan
Airport have been working to re-
n Kile flights over the ocean, which
would greatly decrease noise pol-
lution to affected communiiies.
Selectman Ralph Donim/er
serves as co-chairman of the
Community Advisory
Committee, which has been
working on many initiatives to
help improve the noise pollution
communities surrounding I.ogan
now face.

Cohasset is a town with a
strong fishing heritage. For
roughly 150 years, mackerel
fishing was essentially responsi-
ble for the town's wealth, promi-
nence and growth, as an abun-
dance of maritime trades led to a
booming economy.
To celebrate those roots, the
Cohasset Historical Society and
its Maritime Museum, in con-
junction with the Hull Lifesaving
Museum and Essex Shipbuilding
Museum, are presenting a variety

Logan study
could help ground
noise pollution
FROM JETS. PAGE1
CAC has found there are ways
the airport could mitigate noise
pollution.
Dormitzer presented a Logan
Airport Noise Study before the
local congressional delegation,
including aides for US senators
Edward Kennedy and John
Kerry, as well as representatives
from the Federal Aviation
Administration Friday. June 3.
He made the presentation again
before selectmen Tuesday.
"There are 5 million
people affected and it
operates every day."
— Selectman Ralph Dormitzer
about Logan Airport
Dormitzer said there are three
runway combinations that rough-
ly 80 percent of Logan flights
use. and they all affect Cohassct
and surrounding towns. While
many of the flights take off or
arrive over Boston Harbor, they
are either turning to fly over land
soon after takeoff, or are
approaching over land. At the
low altitudes, the noise problem
is much worse for those on the
ground. However, if the planes
could take oft over the harbor
and stay out over the w ater for as
long as possible, at a higher alti-
tude, potentially swinging out as
far as Minot Ledge Light, the
problem would be greatly
improved not only for Cohasset.
but towns such as Hingham.
Hull. Braintree and Weymouth.
"That way. all the planes stay
off shore." he said. "It is a solu-
tion and it is the solution."
However, in order for flight
paths to be changed, the airport
would need to re-draw its air
maps.
"The lines are drawn in space."
said DormiQer, explaining all it
would take to allow flights to
come in over the water is a recon-
figuration of the lines on the map.
However, he said the air-traffic
controllers have not been in favor
of that change.
Dormitzer said the CAC's pro-
posed changes would result in
roughly 35 over-flight changes,
which have already passed an
FAA safety screening. He s;iid
the paths would also need to pass
an efficiency screening, and the
results from that test are not yet
in. However, he is optimistic
about the possibility the changes
will be made in the future.
'I'm not totally pessimistic.
We have achieved an enormous
amount," he said.
The noise study is a requirement
of a 2002 legal order by Jane
Garvey, who was then administra-
tor of the Federal Aviation
Administration. That decision
authorized the construction of a
new runway. 14/32. at Logan
International Airport, which was
expected to direct many thou-
sands more flights annually over
Boston Harbor, impacting area
(owns, including Hingham.
Cohasset. and Hull. The decision
specified several mitigation mea-
sures to lessen the impact of air-
craft noise on communities in the
greater Boston area.
Noise levels were measured
and averaged for the noise stud)
and Dormitzer siiid the findings
"an astonishing." He said one of
the loudest plane> to fly over
Cohasset is a 727 which is often
used by Federal Express, and
therefore makes flights most
Mien between II p.m. and 5
am. which is very disruptive.
Compared w ith even, other an
port in the world. Dormitzer said
Logan Airport is closer in prox-
imity 10 its closest city than am
other, as it is roughlv only half a
mile fntm Boston and therefore,
has a big impact on the sum nind-
mg area, The second and third
closest airports in relation to their
neighboring cities are the
Frederic Chopin Internationa]
Airport and Orlando
International Airport, which Bit
both more than 10 kilometers
away from their respective cities
of Warsaw and Orlando

The Cohasset Historical Society has sold Moors Rocks oft Jerusalem Road, hut the no-huild covenant u ill remain in lac l.
Moors Rocks sold but will remain open space
By Samantha Brown
SAMBR0WN»C NC.COM
One nl the features that makes
Cohasset so uniquely beautiful
arc its miles of rocky shoreline.
While the vast majority of prop-
erty along the coast has been
developed over the years, a
roughlv 2- acre gem known as
Moors Rocks has been left
untouched, and many residents
would like il to stay that way.
Over the years, the thought of
losing the land to development
has sparked controversy, and the
recent sale of the property by the
Cohasset Historical Society has
caused the rumor mill to chum
once more. However, society co-
vice chairman Tom Gruber said
residents have nothing to worry
about, as the property has a no-
build deed covenant which will
prevent the development of the
site.
"f'or all intents and purposes,
it's not buildable." said Gruber.
as ihe land is almost completely
rock, bin ihe covenant will
ensure there is legal protection to
keep it the way il is.
In 1949, Adelaide Pratt donat-
ed the 1 .95 acres of land, located
on the water side of Jerusalem
Road across from Deep Run
between Pleasant Beach and
Black Rock Beach, to the histor-
ical society, Pratt was given the
land by her grandfather
Benjamin Moors.
"At that time, there was no
other organization in town to
give it to." said Gruber. as a
group like the Cohasset
Conservation Trust had not yet
been established. Therefore, the
Society accepted ihe property,
and Gruber said il remained
under private ownership, as it
was when Pratt owned it.
'The society has always been
worried about liability." said
Gruber. which is one of the rea-
sons il decided to sell the land.
While he said the society under-
stands it is a beautiful piece of
property which beckons resi-
dents to climb ihe rocks and
enjoy the heach. if anyone was
ever hurl on the property, the
SOCiet) could be liable which is a
huge burden. Gruber said over
the years, the society has put up
"no trespassing" signs, but ihcv
continue to disappear.
However, ihis spring, "one
abutler gave a firm oiler I'm
what we thought was a nice
sum." said Gruber. and the soci-
ety agreed to the sale. Not onlv
Will il no longer have to worry
about Ihe potential for lawsuits,
il will have some additional
money to work with to help fur-
ther its mission.
According to Ihe Norfolk
County Registry of Deeds, the
propertv was sold lor $75,000 to
[Xmald and Patricia Ranney oi
Jerusalem Road The town's
2005 assessment on the propertv
was $482,300.
When the propertv was origi-
nally given 10 the society, Prall
made sure a no-huild covenant
was signed which would prohib- .
it development lor 50 years. J
However, that agreemcnl ran out J
in 1999 and was not immediate- j
ly reinstated. Gruber said abut- •
ters to the propertv tried to rein- •
Rate ihe covenant, but there has ■
been some ilillerence in legal
opinion as 10 whether the) have
Ihe right to reinstate it without:
owning the property
However, with ihe recent sale;

staled the agreement which will"
protect it from development for-
another Mi years. Gruber said il -

under Massachusetts state law.
covenants arc limited to 30 years.
However, in the future, he
believes either ihe society, or the
original grantor, are the only two
who could reinstate the covenant
In either case. "There is more
protection for il to not he buill on

which is a small boat used to catch
mackerel
Cohassei resident Sieve Bote
has been working with the histori-
cal society lo bring 'he exhibit to
fruition. Pot many years he has
been building boats of his own. and
with an interest in all things mar-
itime, has studied Cohasset's lish-
ing history. He has become quite
familiar with the kinds of hoals
which were prevalent in
Cohasset's past ;uid the important
nile i he fishing industry played.
"'It was the leading Industry in
C ohasset for roughly 2(K) years,"
he said, adding mackerel fishing
supported not onls fishermen, but
shipbuilders, sail makers, rope
makers, ami miier maritime trades.
He said the ancestors ol main liun-
ilies in town todav were sailors
who came IO Cohasset lo reap the
benefits of its waters,
"As the industry grew, a trade
route developed between the
Azotes and O 'basset leading lo the
emigration ol a substantial number
of Azoreans seeking adventure and
employment in the fishing indus-
try," lie said.
To keep the fishermen in busi-
ness, ship builders came to tow n as
well, and Hobo said there were
roughly \H) ships built in
Cohassei during the height of (he
industty. Photos and paintings as

boats which used to sail into
Cohassei harbor w ill he on display
during the exhibit.
"It is a very old inkle,"' Hobo said
Of shipbuilding, adding in the
l8(K)s. models ol ships were built
first, then the larger boats were
built to scale. But for Bubo, who
has built eight boats in his own

long, the full-size boat comes first
followed h> a model replica. Bobo
has replicas of every boat he has
ever built which have taken up res-
idence in his son's home.
One of the models featured in
the exhibit was built by Bobo's
lather many years ago. The boat,
a Chesapeake Bay Bugeye, was
at one time displayed in the
Smithsonian as part of its w ater-
craft collection. Bobo's lather
w as a developer in Baltimore and
also worked with children
through the Junior Achievement
Society. The children helped him
build the model.
In addition to models, there is a
full-size dory in the exhibit which
depicts the kind of small boat
many mackerel fishermen would
have used.
'This has tongue and groove
construction." said Bobo. which
is a method of shipbuilding he
said is "Absolutely ancient."
"This speaks of a heritage that
goes hack thousands ot years,"
he said.
Fishermen could not have done
their job properly without rope,
and Ihe exhibit has a rope-making
machine that used to twist yam
together lo make rope for the
boats. The machine was found
when it flouted up on Bassing
Beach y ears ago.
"I checked it and it's like you
could stan making rape today."
said Bobo.
In addition, the exhibit features a
foghorn, which Bobo explained
tills with air and when stepped on
blow s a w histle. A compass which
would have guided mackerel boats
back to shore is on display as W ell
In addition to the exhibit. Bobo
is working on another project
with the museum. He will be
building a new weathervane to sit
atop the roof of the Paul Pratt
Building, which will likely be the
shape of mackerel schooner. The
mackerel weathervane which
stood atop the building when it
was the library, has moved to the
new Paul Pnm Memorial Library
on Ripley Road.
The Cohasset Maritime Museum
will also begin a new maritime ini-
tiative through its program "In
Port." The museum is seeking
loans of boat models, nautical arti-
facts, pictures and memorabilia
relating to the town's history. The
museum will provide a cleaning
and restoration service for selected
items, as well as and establishment

Scott Esposito reposes in one o) the new spacious seats at the
Music Circus before Cbkuset High i graduation His daughter.
Kerri-Anne. was in the Ceremony.
Fans are sure to like
new lighting, seats
at Music Circus
FROM MUSIC CIRCUS. PAGE 1
But that's mainly lor the per-
formers. How about something
for the fans •
The Music Circus will reveal
plenty for its seasonal patrons
on opening night, when it kicks
off the summer schedule with
the already sold-out concert by
Lynyrd Skynyrd. Brand new
remodeling features at multiple
levels inside the theatre
promise concert-goers a more
comfortable, enjoyable experi-
ence for this season and beyond
"The whole theatre has all
new seats." declared Paula
Gates. Director of Marketing
and Public Relations at the
Music Circus. "The new seats
also have all new designs.
They're wider and more com-
fortable, with different armrest
configurations that allow for
more room getting into and out
of rows."
There are lots of other reno-
vations new for this season.
The Music Circus has raised
the height of the last rows all
around the outer perimeter of
the theatre-in-the-round. not
only to increase visibility of
the stage but also allow more
room for dancing. The theatre
also has a new handicapped
seating section that allows for
seats to be removed and
wheelchairs moved into their
place in the row.
"Wheelchair customers can
now feel like they 're right there
in the row with the rest of the
audience, not set back like
before." Gates said. Other fea-
tures unveiled for this year
include all new carpeting
throughout the aisles and out-
side the theatre tent. Plus, new
aisle lights just beneath the
armrests of the aisle seats,
which when illuminated might
make the theatre light up like a
giant electronic birthday cake,
or a living saucer, during
evening shows.
The house lighting system
has in fact been given an over-
all makeover. In addition to the
stationary lights already a fix-
ture lor years, the Music Circus
has added a new intelligent
lighting system in which lights
mine by remote control. The
new system has 8 Claypacky
lights that are connected to a
high-tech, digitally computer-
ized light board, providing
more flexibility to do special
effects, including synchroniz-
ing the lights to the music
"The new lighting system
has more capability to light the
performers, the venue and
music, or all at once if neces-
sary. It can also synchronize
with the music, and can adapt
to each show." said Music
Circus stage manager Adam
Thibault. of Hingham. who's
spent much of the last few
weeks overseeing the installa-
tion of the new system.
"A good lighting system is an
essential part of the concert
experience. The way I look at it
is. a concert without lighting,
it s called radio." Thibault
added.
"With the new seating design,
concert audiences can maneu-
ver and saunter in and out of
the rows and aisles a lot more
easily. Everything all over the
theatre is more free-flowing."
said Music Circus production
manager Dave Wentling. of
Hull.
"Overall, it's a more com-
fortable experience for con-
cert-goers at the Music Circus
this year, and more exciting
with the new lighting."
Wentling said.
Public comment period
stays the same
In light of a barrage of neg-
ative feedback about chang-
ing the way public comment
is handled, selectmen will
keep things the way they are
during their meetings
Public comment period will
remain at the beginning of the
agenda. If an issue is raised
that will require more discus-
sion, it will be put on the
agenda for an upcoming
meeting.
Selectman Gary Vanderweil
had suggested moving public
comment to the end of the
meeting to allow the board to
conduct its business first.
Some meetings were being
taken over by angry residents
venting their concerns and
even verbally attacking select-
men, causing the agenda to
veer off course.
Selectman sought feed-
back on how best to handle
public comment from inter-
ested citizens.
Selectman Rob Spofford
said he received phone calls
voicing opposition and had
had conversations with resi-
dents who were also opposed
to any change.
Town Manager Bill Griffin
said he received a call at the
selectmen's office from a res-
ident who was opposed to
changing the public comment
period.
Vanderweil said he KM had
received a verbal negative,
and had read in the Mariner a
negative letter-to-the-editor.
He agreed the best way to
handle the situation is to keep
the public comment the way it
is. hut leave it up to Chairman
Fred Koed to keep comments
to an appropriate lime limit.

Rusty Skippers have more polish but still have fun
Band celebrates
its first 10 years
By Mfltt Whor
CORRESPONDENT
In 10 years, the Rusty Skippers
Band has gone from being a
hastily assembled marching
band for one occasion to an
accomplished, full-repertoire
concert band for many occa-
sions.
Or as long-running original
member and trombonist Rob
Hillman of Cohasset. puts it,
"We've gone from being a
marching band that plays an
occasional concert to a concert
band that occasionally march-
es."
For the Rusty Skippers, the
noteworthy musical progress
over the last decade is as much
cause for celebration as having
lasted long enough for a 1 0th
anniversary. And the Rusty
Skippers indeed plan to cele-
brate a decade together as a band
throughout this month with a
series of local concerts the band
calls its Spring Tour, beginning
this Sunday with a show at
Sunrise Assisted Living off King
Street.
Other concerts to follow
include Friday. June 17 at the
Relay For Life, a fundraising
walkaihon for the American
Cancer Society, and Saturday.
June 18 at the South Shore Arts
Festival. Both events take place
in town.
"What started out as a band
put together on very short notice
to play two songs for the
Cohasset Harbortest one year is
now a legitimate concert band
with an hour- long musical pro-
gram containing a wide variety
of material." said Betts Murray
of Cohasset. another original
member and one of the Rusty
Skippers' two flutists, along
with Kitty Whitley, also an orig-
inal and a Cohasset resident.
The Cohasset Harborfest
where the Rusty Skippers made
its debut almost by accident was
in 1995. The band was formed
for the occasion at the enthusias-
tic suggestion of the late Rev.
Edward T. Atkinson of the First
Parish Church. Atkinson passed
away only two months later in
August of that year but the band
continued, always maintaining a
connection with First Parish.
"We've gone from
being a marching
occasional concert
to a concert band
that occasionally
— Ro
, trombonist
The Rusty Skippers chose
their name "Skippers" after the
name of the Cohasset High
School teams, and "Rusty"
based on the open membership
of any brass, woodwind and
drum musicians high school age
and up. Or as Murray puts it,
"Even if you haven't played
music for a long time, you're
always welcome, no matter how
rusty you are."
The open membership has
made the Skippers a diverse
group over its first decade, with
the current band members rang-
ing in age from college age to
85. Much of the membership
has consisted of former high
school and college band musi-
cians and, notably, many of the
current bandmates are also orig-
inals.
The band plays what its mem-
bers themselves describe as clas-
sic marching band songs (John
Philip Sousa, George M.
Cohan), show music and
Dixieland jazz. The typical set
repertoire includes everything
from known brass-band stan-
dards such as "76 Trombones"
and "Just a Closer Walk With
Thee" to obscurities like "Black
Cat Rag" and "Radetsky March"
and even a modem pop standard
like the Beatles' "When I'm
Sixty-Four."
All of the band members, usu-
ally numbering around 20 at any
given point, have or have had
regular jobs. Murray and

professions in the health, bank-

and come from a range of
towns including Hingham.
Hull. Scituate. Marshlield and
Plymouth as well as Cohasset
Murray shares some favorite
memories of playing with the
Rusty Skippers in the band's
first 10 years. Among them, she
names "always the warm greet-
ings of the crowds along Main
Street and the rest of the parade
route" for the Harborfesi
Parade, which the band played
from 1995 until Harborfesi dis-
banded in 99. Also, she
recalled, "playing the Star
Spangled Banner with the
Cohasset Middle High School
band."
Most amusingly. Murray
remembers the Skippers play-
ing the Harbortest Parade dur-
ing the thunderstorm in 1997.
"with only a few members
(smart ones) dropping out."
Regarding the Skippers most
recent musical progress and
success. Murray gives most of
the due credit to the band's
musical director. Steve Biagini.
who is also the instrumental
music director at the Deer Hill
School
"Steve (Biagini i is the one
who has found most of our
music, and organizes our
rehearsals." she says. "He has
an enthusiasm that's very con-
tagious, and uses e-mail very
effective!) to any number of up
to 40 musicians who've played
with us over time. He generally
has a very can-do attitude."
The Rusiv, Skippers play their
aforementioned Spring Tour
each June as part ol the band's
annual concert schedule. The
Skippers have also played the
Cohasset Memorial Day Parade
each year since 1999. Also, the
band is a regular during (he hol-
iday season for Cohasset 's
Tree-Lighting and Jingle Bell
Walk, as well as its free concert
on the date of the Village Fair,
taking collection for the
Cohasset Food Pantry.

Over their six-year career
together at the combined mid-
dle-high school, Rizzotti said
the class has become close and
has survived all the drama that
comes with living in a small
town, "Where everyone knows
not only your name, but your
latest crush."
As they venture out into the
unknown, Ri//olti encouraged
the group to "Keep an open

talking to new people and expe-
riencing new things outside the

Special honors at graduation
for friends of the senior class
By Samantha Brown
SAMBROWN9CNC.COM
While graduation day is a lime
for ihe senior class to shine. Ihis
year's ceremony held Saturday
June 4 at the South Shore Music-
Circus, honored some adults
who have helped make
Gotland High School a better
place.
A very touching tribute was
paid to longtime custodian
William "Bill" McArthur. who
passed away this March of a
heart attack after using Ihe snow
blower at the school.
Cohasset Principal Jack
DeLoren/o said McArthur will
be greatly missed by both stu-
dents and staff.
"He was very well respected
and we would like to recogni/c
him for his more than 35 years
of dedicated service." he said,
holding up a wooden plaque in
McArthur s honor.
McArthur's wife Rebecca
Hatcs-McArthur and one of
their sons came up on the stage
10 accept the plaque on Bill's
behalf. While tears welled up in
the eyes of many, the audience
rose from their chairs to give
Bill's family a standing ovation.
But alter Del.oren/o's presen-
tation. Assistant Principal
Michael Gill asked him to step
aside from Ihe podium, as it was
DeLorenzo's turn to accept a
plaque for the many roles he has
played in the school over his 1°
years of service. Del.oren/o.
the assistant principal at Ihe
school for many years, served as
interim principal this year. He
will hand over the reins to
Holbrook Junior Senior High
School Principal Joel Antolini.
Gill said there is no way to
measure Ihe hours DeLoren/o
"I can't imagine
dedicated
than Jack."
— Assistant Principal
Mike Gill
has put in at the school, as he
has always been accessible no
mailer the lime, day or night A
Cohassel resident, who sent his
own children through the town's
school system. DeLoren/o has
always been available at a
moment's notice to come to the
school for anything, whether it
be pipes bursting in the middle
of a cold winter's night, or sun
ply a student forgetting a book
in their locker, he said
"I can't imagine anyone more
dedicated than Jack." Gill said
A very emotional I)el.oren/o
accepted his plaque, but was
even more surprised with what
the PSOthen presented.
Linda Bolster of the middle-
high school PSO said because
DeLoren/o has done so much
for so many over his llJ yean at
Ihe school, they wanted to give
him something special a 10-
day tripio Italy for two.
Wiping the tears away from
his eyes . DeLoren/o. dressed in
white pants, a blue shin sail
jacket and blue and while
siriped lie — Cohassei's colors
stood on the stage and
smiled at ihe audience, once
again on their feel giving a loud
round of applause. ' He then
gave a waive to graduates, who
shouted "Mr. D!" from their
seals.
"Now I'm supposed to contin-
ue?*' joked a very emotional
DeLoren/o. coming back lo the
microphone to present Ihe stu-
dents for graduation. For a
moment, he turned his back to
the crowd and took a deep
breath, before thanking every-
one lor his very generous gift,
thanking Gill for his continuing
dedication at the school, and ihe
students "lor making this Ihe
most memorable of all my years
in education."

Opinion
A message
to graduates
You undoubtedly began your senior year of high school
with mixed feelings. For some of you. your graduation day is
coming too soon or not quickly enough. The future may
seem foreboding or exciting.
These hopes and uncertainties are natural. Until now, you
have been largely responsible for attending class, working a
part time job. enjoying co-curricular activities, friends, dat-
ing, etc. Your world will soon require you to accept more
responsibility for financial decisions, academic choices and
social behavior.
The decisions you make in these areas during the next few
\ears will have implications lor your future. In some
instances you w ill strike out or succeed beyond your wildest
dreams. Don'l be afraid of failure.
Life is lull of examples about individuals who experienced
the BgOfl) of defeat before Ihey enjoyed the thrill of victory.
Abraham Lincoln lost an election bid to Congress and the
Senate prior to being elected president in 1X60. During the
years that followed his major decisions were often criticized
by nay-savers and political opportunist. History reveals
Lincoln is responsible for preserving a nation that is currently
the world's sole super power.
"There are only three types of people in this world."
President Theodore Roosevelt once staled. "One that knows
victory, one that knows defeat and one that knows neither."
Success is more than just getting a college education so you
can find a lucrative paying job. The lifestyle you live will be
defined by future generations of family members.
Confederate Army General Robert E. Lee was left nearly
penniless after the southern armies he commanded were
defeated during the Civil War. Shortly after the war ended, an
insurance company asked Lee if they could use his name to
sell policies for $50.(KK). This amount would equal close to
$1 million in today's dollars. Lee refused the offer despite
being in debt by say ing, "my name is not for sale."
He also urged his fellow southerners to accept the outcome
of the war and to be responsible citizens of the reunited stat-
ed.
Lee's stances won the admiration of Americans in the
northern states that he fought against. Historians credit Lee
with helping to heal a nation that was severely broken by the
war.
When Lee died in 1X70. his funeral was packed by scores
of U.S. military leaders and soldiers he fought against. Many
of the children of these veterans eventually attended Jefferson
University where Lee served as president in the years that
followed the war. Lee continues to be widely admired to this
day by Americans in the northern and southern states because
of his integrity.
In the years ahead, financial and career opportunities will
loom that appear to offer a shortcut to riches. Don't be taken
in. Give all prospects careful thought and heed the Biblical
admonitions to. "beware of the deceit fullness of riches and
to seek treasures that won't rust or wither away."
Place a premium on cultivating meaningful relationships
with family and friends. The rewards from these connections
can't be purchased or valued by the dollar bill.
The Mariner staff congratulates all high school graduates on
their academic success and wishes them the best in the years
to follow.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Hats off to everyone!
TO THE EDITOR:
To begin, hats off to Chairman Koed and
newly elected Selectman Vanderweil for
taking a daring stand on the issue of the
vacant property adjacent to Fairoaks Lane.
Both individuals stood up for what they
thought and knew was best for the "entire
town." not just a chosen few. Their two to
three voles which would decide to build or
not to build on the vacant Sohier Street
property sure took a lot of guts on the part of
these two guys. Voting in a hostile environ-
ment, they voted to build on the vacant
property and save the town money in its
quest to establish senior housing, sure made-
sense to me. How could they have voted any
other way?
Also, hats off to our three remaining
selectmen, Spofford. Sullivan and Doimitzo
for siding with their supporters who have
strength in numbers, as the Fairoaks Lane
gang had. I don't blame you guys a bit for
your decision. I'm assuming the Fairoaks
Lane gang supported all of you in past elec-
tions and will in future elections. Good
Vote! These three selectmen must have
remembered that the town had voted to
leave the property vacant at town meeting.
How could they have voted any other way?
Last but not least, hats off to the Fairoaks
Lane gang. I don't want anyone to think I'm
using the work "gang" in a demeaning
sense, I don't mean it to be. I feel it just kind
of fits, and did what any other concerned
property owner would do to protect your
property and privacy. After all. who wants
to look out the window and see more hous-
es, kids, and cars when you can look out and
see the woods and wild animals. Makes
sense to me! So, the political process is alive
and well, even in our little town of
Cohasset. What a great place to live!

Middle East Lecture - Professor Lincoln
P. Bloomfield of Cohasset will speak at the
library on Thursday. June 16 at 10 a.m. on
"The Middle East and the U.S." In his dual
career as professor and government official,
Professor Bloomfield has had many contacts
with this region and with U.S. Middle East
policies. He has been involved as a negotia-
tor, a lecturer throughout the region, and
teacher of an MIT seminar on Middle East
politics. His forthcoming book, "Accidental
Encounters with History: And Some Lessons
Learned," will be published by Hot House
Press in September.
South Shore Caregiving Collaborative -
"Reminiscence: the Power and Promise of
Remembering." presented by Karen Flood
to the Editor:
As a family who has lived in Cohasset for
generations and loves the town. I applaud the
outcome of ihe recent override election.
First, let me share my perspective. I am a
life-long resident with a modest home at 52
Mill Lane. No mortgage. Yearly gross
income: SI 7.450. Real estate taxes: $4,034.
Work history: former 25-year employee in
town treasurer's office with fixed income
town pension. Final Town salary was SI4/hr.
Deceased husband's social security based on
1964 earnings.
• Solutions offered by the town: a. deterred
tax( at 8.5 percent) which leaves a burden for
your family, b. Reverse mortgage for which
most people are not eligible., c. Lack of
affordable housing and nothing accom-
plished as yet.
• Some solutions for town budget: There
needs to be some work done with both
municipal and school unions on step raises.
In conclusion, the Beechwood area stands a
virtually no chance of getting central sewage
or other meaningful relief. A family at 48
Mill Lane replaced its septic system at a cost
of $30.000(1ower than average) with no help
from the town.

Some comment
on public comment
To the Editor:
The Mariner editorial of June 3 wisely rec-
ommends retention of a public comment
period early in each meeting. The editorial
also decries the uncivilized behavior of some
commentators, with good reason.
People who can't keep their cool, are angri-
ly argumentative, people who infer dishon-
esty or cover-up by the selectmen and similar
loutish behavior should be gaveled into
silence — and ejected if the behavior per-
sists.
It is in the voters interests that the select-
men, who we have elected to conduct the
town's business on our behalf, retain firm
control of the meeting, while allowing rea-
sonable and reasoned comment, mostly con-
fined to the allotted period, from those inter-
ested enough to attend. Not many do attend,
but many watch on TV and so form their
opinions not only of the selectmen but of
those who testify — and of those who dis-
rupt.
The chairman of the selectmen (and the
moderator at town meeting) should not toler-
ate intemperate behavior (or time-wasting
irrelevancy). The interest of the majority is
best served if civilized rules are followed.

Single track, double track
MAKING TRACK
Tom Gruber & Mark Brennan
By the time you read this, the MBTA will have
I started clearing the area south of Sohier Street. If
; you have been following the clearing, you have seen
that the incredible machines readily chew through
all trees and undergrowth, from the largest to the
smallest, at incredible rates. We do agree that when
the clearing is near or behind your house it is very
noisy. But, this will pass shortly, as they move on to
other locations down the line.
As we mentioned in our last article, when the
MBTA gets to the area about four houses south of
Rocky Lane, they will clear from the right of way to
North Main Street. This summer, after the clearing
is completed, construction will start on a new Rocky
Lane bridge. You may ask, why a bridge in
Cohasset to access a small street such as Rocky
Lane? Like a lot of things, there is more to this than
readily meets the eye. Let's explain.
The rail system on the entire Greenbush will be a
single track system. Theoretically, southbound and
northbound trains cannot travel at the same time.
However, if we include two parallel tracks periodi-
cally along the right of way. the trains will be able to
pass. There will be four passing tracks spaced 5 to 6
miles apart, located in Braintree. Hingham.
Cohasset, and Scituate. Thus when a passing situa-
tion occurs, one train will be traveling on the main
line and one will be waiting on the passing track
In Cohasset. the passing track will he between
Sohier Street and lower King Street. Should an
emergency happen on Rocky Lane, emergency
vehicles would be blocked from access to Rocky
Lane until both trains move out of the way. In the
event that one of the trains is delayed or has a mal-
function, this could block emergency access for a
prolonged time, endangering personal property
and/or life on Rocky Lane. A number of alternate
access methods were looked at. but in the final
analysis, there were no other reasonable access
paths for emergency vehicles to get quick access
Thus, the present Rocky Lane will he closed at the
railroad tracks and a new bridge will pn>vide the
sole access safely over the railroad tracks and any
stopped trains.
Lastly, another comment about safety. As the
MBTA's work progresses it is very important for all
to stay aw ay from the right of way and the attending
construction TTiis is very dangerous stuff and par-
ents need to emphasize to their children that it is no
longer sale t<> walk on or across the rail right of way.
The MBTA will be posting warning signs for tres-
passers at the crossings. It is in our collective best
interest to heed this as a safety practice

Safer, gentler way for a green lawn
COMMENTARY
Sandy Durant
Do you remember lying in the grass with your
childhood friends on a warm summer day chatting,
trying to find recognizable shapes in the clouds, and
discovering, when you rolled over on your stomach,
all the liny insects that were so amazingly busy'.'
Some w ere carrying bits of soil, dead bugs or leaves
hundreds of times bigger than they were'.' Plump
earthworms'.' Seemingly frantic insects were racing
along looking like tightrope artists disguised as din
clumps, while others were marching in a row upside
down on a fallen blade of grass. And the grasshop-
pers'.' Endless grasshoppers. I particularly remem-
ber an annoying little boy who loved to show us all
the grasshoppers he had stuffed into a large Mason
jar. Looking back on it. I must admit he had an
amazing collection of all sizes and colors.
And if we could have kxiked through a high-pow-
ered microscope, we would have seen hair-like
fungi woven around plant roots, torpedo-shaped
Nematodes grazing on that fungi, and springtails
being eaten by mites. Life underground w as as busy
as it was above ground. All of this "eat and be
eaten" activity is essential to the health and nutrition
of the very plants (millions and millions of grass
plan,M under and around which they lived. It's a
perfect cycle: grass plants not only take up nutrients,
but exude through their roots carbohydrates that
feed the bacteria and fungi that break down the
nitrogen, phosphorous, protein, and other elements
the plants need. This symbiotic relationship look
eons to evolve and never needed man to come along
and add fertilizer, sprinkler systems, and chemicals
to keep it going.
Think about this: the aggregate American lawn is
approximately 30 million acres. When did this cul-
tivation of the formal lawn begin? In the 1920s,
there was a surge in suburban development. Starting
the trend, wealthy homeowners surrounded their
homes w ith the lix>k of the newly popular golf links.
Then after WWII, the big wave of middle-class
home development and rising affluence solidly
established the suburban lawn. People finally had
ihe time, desire, and ability to work on their law ns.
Enter the lawn care chemical industry, which has
pushed, over the past five decades, the standards for
lawns to new heights — standards that ballooning
lawn-care advertising budgets have convinced us
we need to adopt. Unfortunately, as we have found
new activities for our spare time, we have turned to
their chemical shortcuts — packages of fertilizer
and pesticides or long and short acting herbicides
Fortunately, we are all beginning
to wake up and realize that we
can't be killing life under our
feet without having an effect on
our health and well being.
that will help us achieve those industry -driven stan-
dards. We've hired and given lawn services com-
plete freedom to use whatevei is necessary to keep
our lawns uniformly green anil "weed" free. We've
installed automatic sprinkler sy stems. We have kepi
our children and pets oft the lawns when Ihe flags
go up and the chemicals have been applied to kill
not only all the wonderful life we used lo see but
also all the life we could have seen underground
with a microscope.
Fortunately, we are all beginning to wake up and
realize that we can't he killing life under our feet
without having an effect on our health and well
being. We are realizing thai we have essentially
become lawn "terrorists". chemically wiping out the
"good guy s", the incredible, living symbiotic infra-
structure of Ihe soil while leaving il open lo the
"looters", the pillaging grubs and invasive weeds,
etc. that only repealed applications of chemicals can
keep under control.
So whal to d0? Whal is the easier, saler. and gen-
tler way to achieve a naturally green law n ' It's very
simple: test your soil, sharpen your mower blades
frequently, learn about weeds and alternative ways
to deal with them, and gel down mi your hands and
knees, once in awhile lo look al your lawn and the
soil under it before watering it. Mosi importantly,
bring back the life: lop dress and rake in an inch of
balanced, nutritious compost each spring and fall.
Use organic fertilizer thai can be broken down and
naturally fed to grass plants. Reintroduce
Nematodes, microscopic worm-like animals thai
cause disease in insects, particularly white grubs,
sod webworms. and chinch bugs Add grass seed
mixes in the fall (you don't have to start from
scratch) that naturally crowd out unwanted weeds
and don't need endless watering. To speed up the
soil building process you may Wan! to add microbial
innoculants, "good" bacteria and fungi lhal support
beneficial microbes and earthworms.
Let's talk about testing. For about $9. UMass al
Amherst Extension will tell you exactly what your
soil needs — and doesn't need — to support a
healthy lawn, www.umass.edu/plsoils/soiliesi/ But
remember lo ask for a complete texture! and nutri-
ent analysis, which will tell you Ihe percentage ol
silt. clay, and sand and how well your soil drains.
The nutrient analysis will reveal both deficiencies
and excesses: an excess ol calcium will inhibit the
uptake of such crucial plant nutrients as magnesium,
boron and potassium. As an example, the browning
of grass leaves isn't an indication of a deficiency,
but an indication of an excess of magnesium.
Now. let's lalk about grass seed. For a inily care-
free lawn, plant a superior variety of hard fescue
(Fesiuca longifolia) such as "Nordic." "Discovery."
or "Oxford." bred from grass plants thai survive
without pampering II is recommended lhal y ou mix
fescues with perennial rye gntn (avoid annual rye
grassi and Dutch while clover and some hluegrass
seeds fa superior vigor, insect and drought resis-
tance These mixtures are readily available For Ihe
first lew years, re-seed annually. Cost .' Seeds of pre-
mium species and cullivars are worth the extra cost
as bargain seed mixes are often adulterated with
weed seed
Mowing
When you mow. set your blade height al 3 inches
as taller grass will crowd out weeds, shade its own
roots, and better withstand drought conditions
Leave the lawn clippings as they return nutrients to
ihe soil. Clippings do not create thatch buildup
unless you overwaler causing clippings to nit
instead of breaking down naturally. In the fall,
mowing leaves with mulching blades or mowing
twice and leaving (he chopped leaves on the lawn
will cut fertilizer need by 50 percent
You can water less if you water more deeply and
in the early morning Depending on rainfall, healthy
lawns need I to 1-1/2 ins. (collected watei under the
sprinkler! of overhead watering once a week il there
has not been an inch of rain within ihe past seven
day s
If you wain lo give your lawn an extra boost of
fertilizer in the spring, choose a low nitrogen organ-
ic fertilizer with an NPK (nitnigen-phosphomus-
potassium) ratio of approximately 3-1-2. Never use
more than I pound per 1.000 square feet,
Digging out weeds is best, but remember lo fill the
hole you have created with some compost (if the
area is large) and grass seed Keep moist until grass
Sprouts. Weeds w ill return only if their seeds are ihe
only ones available lo fill empty areas For spot
weed control, use a v inegar or v inegar combination
product and for larger areas use an organic corn-
gluten product thai prevents weed seeds from ger-
minating.
Once again you will be able lo let your children
and pets roll around in your grass and discover the
intricate and very happy life of a natural lawn.

HEALTH NOTES
'Nature has a way of handling things'
By Steve Bobo
SPECIAL TO 1
) THE MARINER
A while ago. Health Notes fea-
tured an item recounting the bene-
fits of artificial turf. The tongue-in-
cheek article went on to say that
some forms of artificial turf are
more economical and better for the
environment than real grass. The
purpose of this article is to expand
on that point.
3 Jerusalem Lane has long been
on environmentalists and others list
of things wrong with Cohasset.
Aside from poor taste, disturbance
of the neighborhood, ugly structure
and details, to mention a few things,
the uninhabited building and the lot
on which it is inappropriately
placed are causing no appreciable
damage to the environment. Despite
the result that poor stormwaier plan-
ning for the lot has created. Ihe
water that leaks off the lot and runs
down Jerusalem lane is as pure as
most spring water. It has no
pathogens, no nutrients, no chlorine
or evidence of human activity, and it
tastes pretty good. The rains that fall
on the yards of roof, drain into the
thin soil layer which removes any
evidence of acid rain, and proceeds
as pure fresh water into upper Little
Harbor.
The point is that if people don't
actively harm the environment by
their actions, nature has a way of
handling things. One of the princi-
pal harmful directions modem US
citizens are taking is connected with
the concept thai if a little is good,
more is better. It certainly applies to
fertilizer, food portions, houses on
small lots, talk and advertising.
The point is that it's difficult to
judge where to slow down or stop.
In 1994. I summered in Longport.
N.J.. and became familiar with the
town. In many ways, it was like
Cohasset. It had been a haven for
the rich for a hundred years, and
gradually became less rural and
gentrified. Then as Atlantic City,
directly up the beach from
Longport. took on gambling, the
process went into fast forward.
One-half acre lots were selling for a
million dollars and enormous hous-
es were being built onto such lots
with three foot setbacks. From
above, all was roofs and roads.
Longport had few problems, lis
waste went to sewers, the better-
ments were trivial compared to the
price of houses, there were no lawns
to speak of. and stormwaier drains
were all connected to ocean out-
falls.
For Cohasset. the problems arc-
much more complicated. But,
except for lawn nutrients, we have
been doing well. There are no cgie
gious violations of wastewater poli-
cy either in sewering or on septic
The modest stormwaier system is.
at least, coping. But we are on the
cusp of a change. Hopefully, there is
a burgeoning understanding that, in
spite of our wishes, our population,
because of the proximity to Boston
and the pressures of housing starts
and low money cost, will increase
substantially. Duxbury 's population
more than doubled in 1 5 y ears.
Nature is changing the environ-
ment to cope. With the increase ol
impervious surface: more and larger
IDOfs, driveways, and roads, more
surface water is draining into our
outfalls. Some ponds have gone
from sally tidal estuaries to fttSfl
water tributaries.
And Cohasset Cove is changing
This topic has increasingly become
a topic for discussion. The select-
men have been presented with a
host of reports about ihe changes in
our harbor. There is one incontro-
vertible fact more fresh water is
going into the cove and nature is
reacting.
Thanks to several environmental
groups, such as the Cohasset Center
for Student Coastal Research
(CSCRl and the Gulf Rivet
How do you

HENSHAW
Tom Ht-NNHAW
Watershed Association, there is a
pretty good data set for the Harbor
and its major tributaries. These are
not perfect data, and they are cer-
tainly not complete, but the quality
is good and ihey can tell us much. A
heller organized program could tell
us even more. So far. what they tell
us is thai there are several factors
affecting the environment of
Cohasset Cove The first is thai its
S 01 so tributaries are putting more
fresh water into the Cove
According lo C ove walchers. the
Gull is prospering thereby, and ihe
Cove is losing much of its henthic
or underwater habitat. In addition,
the moorings are being converted
into red rust at a greater rate than
ever before observed. The two
above phenomena are related lo the
presence of new fresh water in the
bottom layer of water in the Cove.
Some of these changes can be
explained. In a future article, we
will look into these occurrences and
make comments on possible long
term impact of such changes.
In summary, we all know the say-
ing about Ihe appropriate response
to an inevitable unwanted act We
might as well be prepared lo live
with it as nature does

Some insight into the House budget
YOUR REP
Garrett Bradley
/ w onted lo take a moment In
Ululate you on various aspects ol
the House budget Every yea f the
Governor submits Ms budget
and it is then debated and
amended in both branches and
sent back li'i' bis review. The
House Completed its work on tin1
budget bill a few weeks thick and
then the Setiate undertook he
task. It is our hope to have the
budget to the Governor hy the
end of June. The total cost will he
approximately $23. 7 billion.
When w e began the process, w'e
in the House lin ed a slim rural
deficit of approximately $600
million Also, although tin- lore-
cast has improved, we are nut
completely out of this ivcession.
In fad, our costs lutve in, leased
wen year but our anntuil rev-
enue is onl\ luck to 2IMII levels
LOCAL AID — This year's
budget increased aval aid by
□Vet Slim million dollars lo
assist comiiiunities with costs of
police, lire and other essential
municipal scr\ ices. This repre-
sents an increase, albeit minor, lo
our corrtmunity. However, given
the past several scars ol cuts, it is
the first positive step forward in
_C'HAPTKR 7(1 KDUCA-
TION FUNDING — We
increased education funding lo
communities b\ SI 05 million.
Also. I supported an amendment
which increased per pupil spend-
ing by al least ISO, These funds
are targeted to communities,
such as ours, that have been dis-
pioportionalelv reduced over the
past several years. If the Senate
concurs, and the Governor does
not veto it. this means an
increase of SI7X.I50 for the
Town of Hingham. This amend-
ment lays tin important founda-
tion as we move into the next
pha.se of education reform fund-
ing.
SPECIAL EDUCATION
CIRCUIT BREAKER —This
law stales thai after a community
pays three limes the foundation
amount (this is whal the slale
says it costs to educate a child
per year) of approximately
SS.(XK). the slate will pay 75 per-
cent of the balance of all special
education costs. Given the price
of out of district placements, this
law has been critical to assisting
communities in preparing and
paying for special education stu-
dents. An example would be if it
costs SIOO.(XX) a yew to educate
a special education student, the
Town would pick up the first
S:-I.(KK) i.l x SK.IXXIper studenl
per year cost), then the stale-
would pay $57,000 of the
remaining S76.000. Many local
officials have indicated lo me
lhal maintaining funding for this
law is a top priority. The House
budget does just thai.
HOSPITALS —Federal law
requires all hospitals to ireal an)
patient that enters regardless ol
lhal person's ability to pay for the
care they receive. The stale,
many years ago. established a
fund io help hospitals meet this
un-lunded federal mandate. Il is
critical lo community hospitals
lo help ihem offset these costs
We passed an amendment thai
added SXt. million to this fund lo
be certain hospitals such as
South Shore Hospital and
Quincv Hospital have the
resources the> need to care for
all of us.

to this country legally, but the
document lhal allowed their
entry (such as a travel visa, work
visa, School visa) has expired
;ind they are currently in the
country illegally with no inten-
tion of leaving. I supported the
amendment which struck this
language and it passed over-
whelmingly. My belief is we dc
not reward illegal behavior.
Furthermore, if there is addition-
al money available it should be
utilized lo reduce tuition and
fees.

Last year I. along with other leg-
islators, established an email

Many highlights are notable
from the 2006 Senate Budget
debates that I want to shire,
including the restoring of local aid
and education (willing cuts that
have impacted neurly every city
and tow n in the Commonwealth
over the last three years.
I-ocal Aid - The Senate budget
guarantees every school district
receives an increase of at least $50
a student and gives communities
$100 million more in lottery pay-
ments. This budget also would
restore full lottery payments to
cities ;ind towns by accelerating
the schedule to uncap lottery dis-
tributions beginning in FY06
instead of FY07. Additionally, the
budget provides SI 5 million for
cutting water and sewer rates for
2.5 million residents and business-
es.
Education - The Senate budget
dedicates significant resources to
build upon the gains of education
reform over the last 12 years to
provide a seamless education for
students from pre-kinderganen
through college. Educational
appropriations include:
SI 2- 1/2 million for the new
Dept. of Early Education and Care
10 develop standards for all child
care services and educational pro-
grams so lhal children are ready lo
learn when they enter kinder-
garten.
A 4.7 percent increase in K-12
spending which includes S55 mil-
lion in reserves to fund future leg-
islation 10 reform the distribution
formula for school aid and help
under-performing and at-risk
school districts.
Forty five million dollars to off-
sel the cost of regional transporta-
tion for local .school dislricts-a S7
million increase over last year's
budget.
An additional SI S 3 million for
University of Massachusetts cam-
puses.
A 7 percent and a 6 percent
increase for stale and community
colleges
Health Care - Massachusetts is
at ihe crossroads for cutting the
cost of medical care while
improving quality and access to
our medical institutions. Faced
with the potential loss of millions
in federal Medicaid funds, the
Senate budget reaffirms its com-
mitment to the Commonwealth's
safety net of caring for the unin-
sured by:
Investing $7.39 billion in
MassHeallh programs thai will
provide coverage for a nearly a
million low income residents and
help cut Ihe number of uninsured,
including 3.500 elderly and dis-
abled legal immigrants.
Fully funding the free care pool
at S535 million and increase pay-
ments to distressed providers lo
over $40 million.
Fully funding the Children's
Medical Security plan at $21.7
million to provide basic health
coverage to every child in the
Commonwealth.
Appropriating $2 million to ihe
children's immunization program.
Public Safety - Many commu-
nities are still facing severely
depleted police and emergency
first responder forces. Several of
the following proposals in Ihe
Senate budget bolster local law
enforcement efforts to increase
neighborhood patrols and special
investigations to protect residents.
Funds two new state police
cadet classes at $1 1 .5 million
Provides $1.2 million for state
and locaj patrols targeting gang-
related activity.
Doubles funding for the state
police crime lab lo expand DNA
and toxicology testing capacity
and better coordinate all forensic
science resources.
S2 million in earmarks to track
level three sex offenders on proba-
tion with global positioning sys-
tems bracelets.
59} increase in funding for
District Attorneys to help pay for
salary increases for assistant dis-
trict attorneys, whose average
salaries are between $32. (XX) and
$42,000.
A budget Conference
Committee is expected to be
named in the next week that will
begin hammering out differences
in Ihe Senate and House budgets.
Local action
Plymouth and Brockton Bus
Service Line - Termination of the
Plymouth and Brockton Bus
Service line was prevented alter I
secured funding in the Senate bud-
get for this program. Facing a SIO
million deficit, the MBTA Board
of Directors voted lo eliminate the
subsidy for the Inter-district Bus
Program. This expenditure prt>-
vides direct financial assistance to
private bus companies who run
service during commuting hours
along the South Shore. The inter-
district bus service gives thou-
sands of commuters a cost effec-
tive and convenient form of trans-
portalion inlo Boston and other
areas of the stale. In 2IXM. over
330.000 riders used the bus lines
to travel lo work, access health
care, and go to school. The P & B
service line is the primary trans-
portation service for many of the
disabled and p<x>r and the elimina-
tion of the subsidy would have
jeopardized transportation access
for thousands of commuters. This
service was a needed expenditure.
Funding secured for continuation
of P & B Bus Service at $2 mil-
lion.
Land Transfer to Bare Cove
Park - My amendment to the bud-
get that transfers 1 5 acres of prop-
erty from Massachusetts Highway
Department to the town of
Hingham was accepted by the
Senate. I worked over a year with
Hingham Town Officials and the
Bare Cove Park Committee to
make this area as part of the park
Hingham's Bare Cove Park
Committee unanimously endorses
the transfer of the parcel which

Chapter 70 Reform - Senate
Republicans attempted to reform

Equalization but this failed.
The Senate again refused to
debate the voter approved income
tax rollback or even phase down
income tax after the Senate
President ruled the measure out of
order. Republican attempts 10
debate Ihe Senate President's rul-

maneuvering by the majority .

The Senate did nol include a

Founded firs
Effervescence personified has
passed away. Lois Weltman, 70,
longtime resident of Cohasset
and Newton, volunteer and gar-
dener extraordinaire, and the best
party thrower on the South
Shore, died Monday, June 6.
2005, in her sleep.
Famous for her Fourth of July
bashes, she was the Pied Piper.
Lobster and clams steamed on
seaweed-covered rocks were fol-
lowed by the piece de resistance
— Lois riding in on the window
of the old-fashioned ice cream
iruck with 30 children surround-
ing her.
Her signal achievement was in
the area of Boston's homeless
community, serving as president
of Shelter, Inc., organizing and
founding the first family shelter
in Massachusetts, for which she
received the Distinguished
Service Award. Thereafter she
founded the Commonwealth
Fund for the Homeless of
Massachusetts and served on the
Governor's Advisory Committee
on the Homeless.
She was president of Boston
Children's Theatre. She was a
director of the United
Community Planning
Corporation before it merged
OBITUARIES
Lois Weltman
t shelter for homeless families
into United Way. A long time
trustee of Combined Jewish
Philanthropies, she helped found
the Young Women's Division
and was the recipient of CJP's
Young Leadership Award in
1964.
Bom in Louisville, Kentucky,
she came to Massachusetts in
1952 to attend Wellesley
College, from which she gradu-
ated as a Wellesley Scholar in
1956. She attended the Harvard
Graduate School of Education.
Bentley College and Wellesley
College for accounting, finance
and business management cours-
es.
It was when she was at
Wellesley that she met the near
50-year love of her life. David.
Abe Sachar. then president of
Brandeis. and his wife, had teas
to introduce eligible Jewish sin-
gles to each other. As Lois was
leaving the tea with her sister,
David noticed how well Lois's
sister Bonnie recovered herself
after falling on the stairs and he
turned to Mrs. Sachar and asked,
who is that beautiful girl? Mrs.
Sachar, thinking that the older
daughter had to be married off
first, responded quickly, "Oh you
don't want her, you want to meet
her sister, Lois." So David
arranged for a foursome with his
friend Tom, making Tom
promise that if David didn't like
Lois, Tom would switch. They
never switched. It was love at
first sight that lasted until their
last day together, Sunday, when
they shared a boat ride through
the gulf in Cohasset and a salad
picnic on Bassing beach.
She leaves her husband, David,
senior partner at Foley. Hoag.
LLC; four children. John of
Milton. Elizabeth of St.
Petersburg, Fla., Herman of

leaves her sister Bonnie Ulin of

Memorial observance will be at

ers are fine. In lieu of flowers,
donations to the Boston

greatly appreciated.

Laxers hoping to
continue their run
Cohasset in semifinal showdown
today at Dover-Sherborn
oy wiarK uooaman
MGOODMANffCNC COM
Two weeks ago, not many
would have envisioned this
story.
The Cohasset hoys lacrosse
team had just lost to archrival
Scituate. and were on the tour-
nament bubble at 7-7 with four
games to play.
Something clicked in at that
point, however, and the players
and fans have been reaping the
benefits ever since.
The Skippers won three of
their last four regular season
games, finished at 10-8 and
earning themselves a 6-seed in
the Div. 3 EM ass tournament.
The blue and white have con-
tinued their roll, dominating
Way land by a 14-4 score in the
first round and third-seed Austin
Prep ( 12-3 score) in the second
round.
The journey continues today
with a toad trip to number-two
seed Dover-Sherbom, who
advanced by way of a hard-
fought 10-8 win over those
Scituate Sailors in the quarterfi-
nals.
Cohasset head coach Stu
Curran admitted Wednesday
night to being nervous about the
game. Then again, he was ner-
vous about Wayland and Austin
Prep too.
The coach has been preaching
his usual philosophy to his team
in this week's practices leading
up to what could be a classic
encounter with D-S.
"We are two really evenly
matched teams," Curran said.
"As I say all the time, we have
to do the simple things better
Semifinals
Cohasset®

Today, 5 p.m.
than our opponent on each and
every shift. If we do that, we'll
win the game."
Against Wayland and Austin
Prep, there were two common
threads in Cohasset's favor a
fast start on offense and domi-
nance from the defense and
goaltending.
Cohasset 14, Wayland 4
The visiting Wayland club
scored the first goal of the game
three minutes in. Within two
minutes after that, however, the
Skippers would be ahead to May.
Aidan Buick and Sam Steele
scored quick back-to-back goals
for Cohasset to give them a 2- 1
lead Ik-fore the first period was
out. Jon Grimm scored and
Buick found the back of the
cage again, as the Skippers had
a 4-1 lead after one.
At that point, as Curran says,
"the horse was let out of the
bam."
Cohasset played some of their
best lacrosse of the season in the
second period, scoring four
more times and allowing none
to give themselves a command-
ing 8-1 halftime advantage. In
order. Grimm, Joe Durkin.
Buick and Jake Previte scored
for the Skippers.
Buick was ihe star ol the day
on offense, amassing five goals
and four assists.
"He just turned Ihe defense
inside-out." Curran said of his
junior attacker. "Those four
assists were really crucial to our
offense, Most of our plays come
from behind net with either him
or Previte. and usually, very
good things happen."
Steele also had himself a nice-
game with two goals and two
assists.
"Sam is a real steady ing influ-
ence, on that second line."
Curran said. "He i- ,i real asset
to our offense, and he did a very
good job for us against
Wayland."

Boys tennis bounced
in quarterfinals
By Mark (
MCOCOM«N»CNCC0M
For the first two rounds of the
Div. 2 South boys tennis tourna-
ment. Chris Pescatore and Chris
Donze were as clutch as it gets.
The Cohasset first doubles
team controlled their team's des-
tiny against both Martha's
Vineyard and Walpole. as both
matches were tied 2-2 with first
doubles as the last point to be
decided.
And in both cases, Pescatore
and Donze came through with
the win and game-deciding third
point for (lie Skippers.
In last Thursday's preliminary
round affair with Martha's
Vineyard, first singles Nils
Sceery and the second doubles
duo of Josh Dupre and Owen
Stevenson both won easily in
straight sets, selling Ihe stage for
Pescatore and Donze to work
their magic.
Cohasset had to come right
back the next day to host
Walpole. Sceery again won con-
vincingly. 6-4. 6-0. At second sin-
gles. Dan Sullivan bounced back
in a big way from his defeat the
previous day to record a critical
team point by a 2 and I score.
In Monday's quarterfinal.
Cohasset ran into a veritable buz-
zsaw in second-seeded Wellesley.
Wellesley features three singles
players ranked in the top- 1 00 in
New England, and two doubles
teams that made the finals and
semifinals of the stale individual
tournament.
Sceery. Blain Morin and Kyle
Dattola-Harris competed well in
singles, but were simply over-
matched by then opponents.
"We went into that match real-
izing we had made it further than
any Cohasset team since coach
Kent Parrot started coaching
here." said Sceery. a junior co-
captain. "We were happy lo make-
it that far."
Next year, the Skippers (who
finished the season with a 17-6
record) return all seven regulars
that were playing at the end of
this season.
"We have a young team, and
we know we have an opportunity
to make it even further next
year." Sceery said.
For next year. Sullivan. Sceery
and Pescatore have been named
co-captains. Cohasset's South
Snore League All-Stars this sea-
son are Sceery. Sullivan, and the
Pcscaiorc/Donze combo.

He way thev had been playing
through the first two rounds.
Cohasset looked like a good bet
to win their third straight Div. 2
SQUth sectional championship.
Medlield. however, had other
ideas.
The Tri- Valley Conference
champions showed on Tuesday
why the) are undefeated (going
into yesterday's sectional final
against Norwelli. lopping the
Skippers 3-2.
Cohasset finishes their season
with a 19-4 record, giving them
over Ml wins in the last three
years.
The Skippers came into the
Medlield match on Ihe heels of 8
solid 4 I «in over Westwood the
day before. Senior Elizabeth
■peat not in the
for girls tennis
Stone and junior Chelsea
Grossman won at first and third
singles, respectively, both in
straight sets. The doubles teams
of Meg Anderson/Sally Meehan
and Rachel Garber/Emilie Shea
also both won in straight sets.
The facilities at Norwood's
Coakley Middle School had only
four courts, so Garner and Shea
had to sit and watch the first 45
minutes of the match When thev
finally took to the court, the
match appeared to be well in
hand thanks to a close lirsi set
victory from Anderson and
Meehan.
With Stone and Grossman in
control of their matches, a lot of
attention went toward the first
doubles court where Cohasset's
freshmen duo were in a dogfight
with the Westwood team ol
Roanna Rui/ and Liz Chen. With
Westwood's tandem stalling
often between points lal one
stage discussing Christina
Aguilera. according to Meehan i.
the Skippers team had trouble
getting into a rhythm.
The result was a Rrst-sel

Magic runs out for softball team
By Evan Deutsch
CORRESPONDENT
The Cohassei varsity soft-
ball learn has just completed
their most successful season
in 16 years. Alter many years
of inactivity, the team resur-
faced three years ago.
The team qualified for the
state tournament, hut knew
the tremendous 2005 season
had to end somewhere. Thai
somewhere was Hollis Field
in Braintree on June 2.
The Skippers knew the
odds were stacked against
them. The seasoned
Archbishop Williams squad
quickly capitalized upon the
Skippers' inexperience.
To put it bluntly. Archies
controlled the game from the
first pitch to the last out.
They froze up the Cohassei
bats like a January blizzard.
Aside from a Christina
Pinkus hit and a Case)
Anderson walk, the Skipper
offense fell completely
silent.
"This season has
set the bar for the
years to come."
Junior Melissa Crov. ley-Buck
Nol much could be said for
Cohassel's defense either.
While effort was not an issue,
the Skipper's errors did them
in. A 15-0 Archies victory
resulted.
"Archbishop Williams is a
well-coached. talented
squad." said head coach Deb
Bostwick. "They've had a lot
of tournament experience
and it showed in their play.
They capitalized on all our
errors. Thai's what made the
difference in the game. Al the
same time. I give my players
a lot of credit for making it
this far."
Junior Melissa Crowley-
Buck also reflected on the
match-up.
"We were very nervous
coming into ihis game." she
said. "Our anxiety and inex-
perience caused us to commit
a lot of errors. On the posi-
tive side, this season has set
the bar for the years to
come."
Bostw ick wants her players
to enjoy the season dinner
and reflect on their extremely
successful season. She made
this final comment. "Life is
good, but softball is even bet-
ter!"

Several members of the
Cohasset High School rack team
ended the season on a high note at
the State Class D Relays.
Leading the way was freshman
standout Corinna Durham, who
finished 10th overall in the 300-
hurdles with a time of 49-flat. That
time broke the school record for
that event, a record that was about
20 years old.
Durham was also part of the
4x400 relay team that set a person-
al record of 4:20. The other ath-
letes on that team were Sarah
Malone. Lindsay Kennedy and
Nicole Whitney.
Whitney and Kennedy, both
seniors, ended their high school
careers with solid runs in the 800m
and 100m events, respectively.
Also faring well for the girls team
was the 4x100 relay of Alyssa
Himnan. Shalea Daly, Flossie
Clougherty and Olivia Kimla.
The boys' top performer on the
day was sophomore Brent Daly,
who ran the 200m dash in 24.42
and missed qualifying for the
semifinals by four-tenths of a sec-
ond.
With the exception of Whitney
and Kennedv. all of these athletes
will be back next year, something
that has coach Al LaFountain
looking ahead to '06.
"Most of our team is made up of
ninth or 10th graders," he said.
"We should be pretty strong next
year if we can get a few more kids
out for the team."
Increased participation in spring
track is one of the goals as
LaFountain prepares for next sea-
son.
"We need more athletes to build
upon what the girls accomplished
this year, and we need to get some
runners to surround Brent and our
throwers." he said.
The coach says he is hopeful that
he can recruit some talented
incoming freshmen athletes to
come out for the team.
'Track is one of the few sports
where those kids can make a
tremendous impact right away,"
LaFountain said.
Cohasset. as could be expected,
had success at the
Freshmen/Sophomore meet as
well. On the boys side, Daly was
second in the 100-meter dash with
an 11.6, while Reed Wendorf-
French finished fifth in the 300-
hurdles. Also having a good day
for the Skippers was Paul St.
Pierre, placing sixth in the discus.
As for the girls. Durham finished
third in the 300-hurdles. while
Lauren Strazzula had a high jump
of 4'6" to take fourth place.
South Shore League meet
Durham and Kennedy starred in
the league meet, winning the 30fV
hurdles and 100m dash, respec-
tively. The 4x4 relay team finisheo
second, while Whitney took fourth
in the 800m competition.
Anthony DiPaolo and Daly were
the big winners on the boys side,
finishing at the top of the class in
the discus and 200m, respectively.
All of these performances had
LaFountain encouraged at sea-
son's end, as he gave a lot of the
credit to his assistant coaches.
•It was a pretty successful year,"
LaFountain said. "(Assistant
coach] Lisa Mullen does a fantas-
tic job with the kids. She is just an
unbelievable coach who adds a lot
to the program.
"Craig Davis and Craig Parker
are both very good throw coaches,
and they allowed Lisa and I to do
more things with other kids."
The coaching of Davis and
Parker could be seen in the success
throughout the season of athletes
like DiPaolo. St. Pierre and sopho-
more Justin Alexander.

Kevin Dinsmore played most of
the game, with sophomores Jeff
Brown and Ryan Kacynski rotat-

Curran said Leahy played a
particularly strong game, and the
coach also liked what he saw
from Kacynski.
"He's not as flashy as a guy
like Jeff Brown, but Ryan is
always pretty steady out there."
said the coach. "With those two
guys constantly rotating, they
stayed really fresh and created a
lot of mismatches."
Rounding out the list of strong
performances for Cohasset was
junior goalie Ben Libby. who
made 1 1 saves in place of an ill
Chris Simms.

APcame into this game with an
18-1 record, and had beaten a
decent Canton team 13-8 in the
first round.
The Skippers, however, again
just took it to their opponent
from the opening face-off.
Buick put his team on the board
three minutes in. Just three min-
utes later, the Grimm brothers -
senior Jon and freshman Mike -
combined on a beautiful give-
and-go. with Mike scoring to
give Cohasset a 2-0 lead.
Buick and Mike Grimm would
both score again before the end
of the first period, which ended
with (he Skippers once again out
in front by a 4- 1 score. Grimm's
second goal was assisted by
junior Trevor Brady.
After going into the half with a
5-2 lead, the Skippers exploded
lor four more goals in the third.
Those scores came from, in
order: Durkin. Buick. Steele and
Previte.
Previte. despite being closely
marked throughout the game,
finished with three goals and
three assists. Buick had three
goals and one assist, with Mike
Grimm and Durkin scoring two
goals apiece.
Leahy again starred on defense,
earning the praise of AP Athletic
Director (and former lacrosse
player) Dave Johnson afterward.
Brown continued "rounding into
form." in the words of Curran.
and Libby made 16 saves in net.
The lopsided game gave
Curran a chance to play some of
his reserves, and he got some
good games from the likes of
sophomore Chris Davis (who
scored Cohassel's last goal, on a
feed from Jon Grimm) and
Charlie Czerkawski, who fared
well on the face-offs to give
Durkin a break in that depart-
ment.

Cohassei 4, Dedham I
In the first round, the Skippers
defeated a game team from
Dedham, who had beaten
Abington the day before in the pre-
liminary round.
Stone was typically dominant at
first singles, winning her match
without losing a game. Both she
and coach Meehan were
impressed, however, by the feisti-
ness of Dedham's Jenni Hubbard,
who made Stone work for every
point up until the end.
The story of this day for
Cohasset was the play of
Grossman at third singles. In her
first match of the year (due to a car
accident that aLso caused her to
miss the second half of the basket-
ball season), the Skippers junior
looked impressive in dispatching
Dedham's Margaret Regan. 0 and
3.
"I thought she played great." said
Meehan afterward. "You could tell
at times she was a little rusty. But
tennis is so mental, and that's
Chelsea's biggest strength.
Both doubles teams also won in
straight sets, with Garber and Shea
again dominating, losing only one
game. Anderson and Meehan were
victorious 6- 1 , 7-5.

COHASSET YOUTH LACROSSE
Youth girls win in
UahuaII (nil •
worweii, Tan in
Scituate
The Cohassei youth lacrosse
girls program enjoyed ihe best
wealher of the season on June 5,
traveling to Norwell and
Scituate. The road proved as
hospitable as the weather in
Norwell. but wasn't quite as
nice in Scituate.
The day opened with the
Cohasset Blue I.Vand-Under
team (grades 5 and 6) squaring
off against Norwell. and jump-
ing out to an early lead despite
squandering numerous scoring
opportunities to poor shooting.
Lindsay MacNaught finally
broke the seal on ihe game, and
then fed Olivia Murphy,
before a Whitney Jaffe goal
put Cohasset in charge at 3-0.
After Norwell convened a
bang-bang play on an indirect-
free position. Christina Healy
answered with a goal. Norwell
notched a second goal with sec-
onds remaining in the half, and
the game went to the break with
Cohasset on top at 4-2.
In the second half. Cohasset
started nailing down the types
of scoring chances that went
awry in the first half. Katherine
Brown fed Olivia Murphy to
stretch the lead, and Whitney
Jaffe answered another nifty
Norwell indirect-free postion
goal with two scores, to stretch
the lead to 7-3. Sarah Evans
fed Murphy, who finished her
first career hat trick, and the
teams traded goals from there,
with MacNaught and Anna
Michalowski answering
Norwell's efforts.
Kathleen Kelly and Abhy
Brown did not notch score in
the 10-5 win. but led a solid
overall midfield effort through-
out the warm afternoon. The
win raised the 13-U Blue team's
record to 6-2-1 on the year.
The Cohasset Blue 15-and-
Under squad (grades 7-S) upped
its record to 7-1 by rolling over
Norwell I in a game (hat was an
obvious rout from the very first
shift. Kaley Madge scored a
first-half hat trick, and Caitlin
Mahoney and Gabriella
Flibotte added two goals each,
as Cohasset rolled to a big lead.
Lindsey Allard assisted on
one of Madge's goals, and then
scored off a teed trom Isabelic
Franklin. Flibotte also picked
up an assist to Madge, as
Cohasset gained an 8-0 halftimc
edge in which Norwell's only
shot on goal was an accident
that rolled into the crease.
In the second half. Cohasset
tried to beat the heat, and
moved most of its defensive
players forward. Katelyn Ryan
scored the only goal of the sec-
ond half, although Thomson
Jaffe - the team's regular goal-
lender - Dominique Rioux and
Natalie Hunt all saw outstand-
ing scoring chances thwarted by
Norwell's goaltender.
Norwell snuck a goal past
Gabriella Flibotte in the game's
closing seconds to make the
final 9-1.
The Cohasset White 15-U
team was scheduled to square
off against Norwell 2, but the
home team did not adjust to a
liming- change and failed to
show up, giving the Cohassei
girls the afternoon off.
The action then moved to
Scituate. where Ihe Cohassei
White 13-U team started off
playing "sloppishly." an ugly
combination of sloppily and
foolishly, to fall behind 5-0 less
than eight minutes into the con-
test. From there, however, the
team regrouped slowly, getting
solid midfield play from
Michelle Berubc and Moira
Donohue to start taking care of
the hall and to gain control of
the action.
Alison Whelan finally broke
the ice for Cohasset. and
Lindsay MacNaught followed
less than a minute later, and
while Scituate scored again
before the break, it looked like
Cohassei had Ihe chance to get
back in the game.
Indeed. Cohassei controlled
the action for mosl of ihe final
stanza. Berube's hard work paid
off wilh her first goal, to cut Ihe
deficit to three, before two
Scituate scores set up by
Cohasset tniscues. But as the
game headed down the stretch.
Whelan scored again and
Cohasset 's energy relumed.
Lauren Hayes scooped a
loose ball, and moved il to
I'aide Di-Sisto. who found
Anna Michalowski. who hit
Eliza Kinnealey Streaking
down Ihe center Of Ihe field for
an easy score. Whelan complet-
ed a hat trick on ihe nexl pos-
session, and the deficit wag
back lo two.
From there, however, Scituate
was able lo kill off the clock,
glad to escape wilh an H-6 win
that might have turned around
had the game gone on much
longer. Fllie Tcdeschi and
Molly McKlgunn combined to
make four saves in the net for
Cohasset.
Cohassel's I l-and-Undergirls
igrades 3 and 4| have played in
an inira-town clinic all season,
but they took the field for their
firs! game againsl a Scituate
squad thai has played games

Lexa (Jrasz was outstanding
on defense, slopping several
Scituate scoring chances and
bringing the hall into the offen-

Annie Robinson also played
well defensively to disrupt
Scituate's attack, while goal-
lenders Molly Fitzgerald and
Christina Tedeschi splii halves

key saves to keep the home
team from running away wilh
the game.
At Ihe offensive end of the
field. Kate Bodner dominated
the draws and ground balls, and

scoring chances. Maria

Anchoring Ihe competition for

The Cohassei While ll-U

road in Pembroke, as ev idenced
by both the number of shots on
goal and defensive saves al this
week's game against
Pembroke. The dry. hoi wealher
and hard-pack field conditions
played to Pembroke's advan-
tage, as the home team capital-
ized on turnovers and ground
balls
Cohasset's goalies did a great
job at holding Pembroke to
seven goals, with crease new-
comer Tommy Powers making
a number of sparkling slops.
Defenders Jack McElgunn

Cohassei was winning Ihe

colored signs and singing in
unison. Il was unreal, much
like Ihe sound of those same
people exclaiming
"Omxxxioo!!" simultaneous-
ly at a missed goal opportune
The only momenl ol silence
came when Samuel Elo
missed a penalty kick for
Barcelona ... and that was
more than made up for by the
roar thai came after each of
Barcelona's three goals.
We witnessed a hat trick by
Villarreal's Diego Forlan. the
Spanish league championship
trophy hoisted by Barca cap-
tain Carles Puyol (the team
clinched ihe championship
the week before ). and a posi-
tively enthralling 3-3 game.
Being part of one of the two
chants we could understand
(Campeones. campeones. ole
oleole!!)andan S4.527-per-
son Wave (they do them in
Spain, tool just added to it all.
I would mention the other
chant we could make Out, but
it involved a nasty word
regarding Barcelona's archri-
val. Real Madrid — even in a
different language, we will
noi pnni il here.
Thai kind of strong passion
speaks loward the sporting
culture m Europe that we
thought we understood —
until we were actually there.
With Ihe home team leading
3-2 wilh 30 minutes left in the
game. I looked down to the
mosl vociferous fans in the
end /one below us. and saw a
group ot lour people hugging
one another, jumping and
Chanting al Ihe same lime. I
was in awe lo see that kind of
emolit m
But when one considers the
roots and history of the learn,
that kind ol display is put into
some context. When
Francisco Franco Book con-
trol o| Spain in 1939. the
Catalan i Barcelona's) culture
and language was more or
less outlawed ( )ver ihe years.
Franco, himself a football
Ian. personally saw lo il that
Real Madrid became the
powerhouse team in the
country.
The only place where
Catalan could be spoken in

After ihe game I which
included 20 minules of
pounding rain, thunder and
lightning lhal deterred
absolutely no one from being
cra/y I'ansi. AJ and I couldn't
leave. How many limes are
we going lo be in the biggest
lootball Nladium in Europe '
We stayed lor about half an
hour as ihe stadium emptied
. . . taking it all in. the echoes
of ihe chants. Ihe empty seats
where fans hugged and
lumped around just minutes
before, realizing we had just
watched Ronaldinho (gener-
ally regarded as the best
player in the worldi in per-
son we couldn't leave until
the siadium crew lurned off
Ihe lights, providing a subtle
hint thai il was time to go
We hung around outside for
a little bit. near whal we mis
pected was ihe gale from
which ihe Villarreal learn bus
would exit. One player came
out lo talk lo whal appeared
lo be family, and gave one ol
them his jersey. We didn't
know who il was. couldn't
understand what anyone was
saying, and it was raining
again — yet we didn't care.
On the list of things I want
to do in life, attending a
major soccer match in
Europe was pretty high And
I can now say it was even
above and beyond what I
expected.

Paye- 21
A fond farewell to Lou
FROM THE
SIDELINES
JuleAnnNeww)
There haven"! been many like
Lou Molinari.
A freelance writer for my
Mariner sports pages throughout
my five-year career. Lou had
many qualities I admired. He
was reliable, he was hungry, and
he always went the extra mile.
Working primarily in Hanover
and Marshl'ield. one of Lou's
best traits was his uncanny abili-
ty to get the story.
When we knew a coach was
tough to get. we got Lou on
him/her because the guy just
never gave up. He'd call and call
until his fingers could barely
dial, and then he'd call again.
And he'd get it.
He had a unique and quirky
writing style that some of our
readers didn't fully appreciate.
They were perhaps looking more
for scores, records, and slats in
his pieces, but his witty and
humorous approach to wriling
sports added diversity to my
pages.
Belore he got a computer, I on.
then in his 60s. used to type Ins
stories on a word processor and
fax them into us. He purchased
the computer to make things eas-
ier on himself, bul more so for
us. I can remember Dying 10
guide him through the process of
writing and e mailing a file. He
couldn't quite grasp the meaning
of the computer terms 'copy and
paste", but he eventually figured
it out and was always ama/ed
when we actually gol the file.
Whatever I needed. Lou was
always ready and willing. On
long notice, ithod notice, or a
minute's notice. Lou would
always come through Baseball,
lacrosse, basketball, football,
tennis. You name the spun, he-
covered it. II he found something
out over the weekend and could-
n't get a hold of me. he'd jusl do
the story. Didn't wanl us to get
scooped.
He was an editor's dream, but
so much more.
Things tend to be unfortunately
a bit impersonal with our free-
lancers, as we generally commu-
nicate solely on e-mail. But that
was never enough for Lou. He or
his lovely wife Ginny would rou-
tinely call to make sure I
received a story or to m;ike sure
there were no problems. Lou
always kept me informed and
gave me regular updates on his
progress. If he was in the area.
Lou would always stop b) out
Marshfield offices for a visit, his
warm smile instantly lighting up
the room.
Ginny was like Lou's co-pilot.
She told me once she used to
look forward to our conversa-
tions every Thursday when I
called with story assignments.
We'd get the business out of the
way and then chit-chat about
anything from the weather to the
Red Sox. I think of her like a
third grandmother. She is truly a
gem.
Ginny, my heart
and prayers go out
to you and to Lou.
I have always held
you both near and
dear to my heart
and have loved
working with you
both. God Mess.
About two years ago. I discov-
ered Lou and Ginny were living
in the apartment above my Great
Uncle Al in Weymouth's
Gaslight Village. Like the sweet-
hearts they are. the couple told
me they spoke fondly of me on a
regular basis and also offered to
be of service if he ever needed
them. When they hadn't seen
him in a while (because he had to
be moved to an assisted living
facility), they expressed their
concern.
It is with a heavy heart that I
write this column. Lou passed
away this past Friday at the age-
nt 7(1 He hadn't been working
for us for nearly a month after
being rushed to the hospital with
stomach pains. In typical Lou
and Ginny fashion. I was one of
the first people they called.
Ginny apologized profusely for
Lou's inability to write that
week. Can you believe that'.'
He's lying in a hospital bed and
he felt bad he couldn't help me.
I told Ginny to tell U>u to take-
as much lime as he needed That
(his place should be the last thing
on their minds. That he could
come back whenever he saw fit
and if he didn't want to come-
back, that was fine too. That it
was lime to look out for himself.
Ginny. my heart and prayers go
out to you and to Lou. I have
always held you both near and
dear to my heart and have loved
uorkmg with you both. God

Music Ci
caters to kids
Children's performances
a hot ticket Thursday
The stars may not come
uul until after sunset at the
South Shore Music Circus,
but on Thursday mornings
in July and August younger
audiences can enjoy a slate
of children's performances
that includes the Cohasset
debuts of "Garfield: Happy
Birthday to Me" Aug. II.
and of the "Russian
American Kids Circus" on
July 14.
"Our circus touches the
heart with a combination
of entertainment and pure "Ql"n>*1 ►faPW BMhday to Me"
fun." explained Regina Berenchtein. president and co-owner of
The Russian American Kids Circus On-Stage. Inc., last week by
telephone from the company's Brooklyn, N.Y.. headquarters.
"We present everything from a clown act to pantomime, acro-
batics, juggling, rolling globes, and unicycles. all performed by
an 1 1 -member troupe of circus professionals between the ages of
six and 16."
The performers may still be children, but they were trained by big
top veterans including Regina's husband, artistic director Alex
Berenchtein, a former star of the world-renowned Moscow Circus.
"My husband ases the best traditions of the Moscow Circus to teach
not only the an and skill of the circus, but also the importance of
teamwork. He nurtures our students and teaches them the unique-
ness of the pertorming arts without stressing the competition.
Everyone teams to work together."
Regina and Alex - joined by Regina's mother, former nurse Olga
Partigul — opened the nonprofit academy The New Way Circus
Center, Inc. 1 1 years ago in New York, The school leaches artistic
self-expression through the circus curriculum. The advanced stu-
dents form the performing ensemble which tours the US and
Canada. "What we do is very different from a traditional circus. As
theatrical circus we use no animals Our kids just love bringing joy
and happiness to audiences and self-esteem to themselves," says
Berenchtein.

Shawn Manning of Quincy

in as many years. Turner
System-,
cast the
its "The I
Island-
show at the Quincy water-
front complex. Last year, i
was Chris (JMalley
Milton. Beginning this
week on TBS, it will be
a former doorman at Waterworks
— who dons the ubiquitous red rugby jersey and white bucket hat
first made famous on the 1960s sitcom "Gilligan's Island."
The new series, which has its second season premiere on June 8,
was filmed last fall on an island off" of Mexico. On the show, two
teams of people — playing characters from the show including
Gilligan. the Skipper, too, the Millionaire and his wife, a Movie
Star, the Professor and Maryann — compete in castaway-themed
challenges to be the last one standing and claim the $250,000
grand prize. Manning, a one-time personal assistant to New
England Patriots wide receiver David Givens, can't reveal the final
outcome but believes he out-Gilliganed even the actor who origi-
nated the role of the bumbling "Little Buddy."
"I'm everything Bob Denver wanted to be." explained Manning
by cell phone last week while driving to Foxwoods for a charity
golf tournament. "I'm better-looking, more articulate and
smoother with the ladies."
Manning's self-proclaimed charm makes him a natural to
answer the "Ginger or Maryann" question that has long divided
fans of the original series. "Tina Louise (Ginger) was the better-
looking one for sure," says Manning. "On my show, however. I
would have to pick the Maryann from the other team. Maryann
Randi from my team just rubbed everybody the wrong way."
Manning, 23. hopes to rub future casting agents the right way
now that reality television has given him his show business start.
Tm weighing my career options and definitely looking at acting
opportunities. I may do a play in Atlanta. And, I've always won-
dered what it might be like to be the next Chuck Woolery."
Tlie second season of "Die Real Gilligan \ Island" premieres on

School board
grapples with

SAMBR0WN9CNC.COM
Suptof Schools Derase Walsh
says cutting positions is the only
viable option .n this time to make
up the budget deficit incurred
with the failure of the override
vote.
"My goal for July
is to start at a

- Supt. Denisc Walsh
"My utial for July is to start at
a level budget," Walsh said at
last week's school committee
meeting.
But what will actually occur to
make up the school's portion of
the S4(K).(KK) gap — roughly
$285,000 — is still anyone's
guess School committee chair-
man Jamie Williams called a
special meeting slated lor last

Last «eek some members ol
the school committee said with
some creative energy, the bud-
getary problem can be solved
with no loss of employees.
At the June ') meeting. Walsh
proposed cutting the two leach
ing positions which had been
paid lor b\ private donations last
year, at $45,000 each. When the
school committee voted to
accept the funding from the
committee to save three teachers
during last year's budget cycle, it
was well aware the funding was
a one-time opportunity, and ihe
school department was lucks to
keep those teachers whose
positions were slated to be cut -

A whole lot of flushing going on
By Samantha Brown
SAMBfiOWNOCNC.COM
; Rushing could be a daily
occurrence at all three Cohassei
schools, as a means of lowering
contaminants in school drinking
water. Facilities Manager Brian
Adams said there are 21 sites
throughout the schools which
have high levels of either lead or
copper, and for now, running the
water in fountains for 5-minutes
every day is one of the solutions
on the table.
Drinking fountains have been
shut off in some areas of all three
buildings since April. The cont-
aminated water is coming from
Within the school, and not the
public water supply, and there-
fore, it is the responsibility of the
school department and not the
water department to fix the prob-
lem.
Adams said in the latest round
of testing, for which results were
received last week, flushing was
done in both two and five
minute intervals, and then sam-
ples were taken. Adams said
some of the tests have indicated
the problem might be in some of
the actual bubbler mechanisms,
as at least one of the new "dou-
ble-bubblers." which have one
side lower than the other, but are
one fountain, is showing differ
ent readings on both sides. The
bubbler is fed by one school
pipe. In light of the recent tests,
he said the manufacturer of the
fountain will be contacted, and
parts will be replaced if needed.
He said he will be looking into
warranty agreements for the new
fountain.
Water Department Chairman
Glenn Pratt said drinking water
fountains or "bubblers" are the
biggest culprit lor copper leach-
ing, as it typically occurs in pipes
where the water is not constantly
moving. Copper leaching is
more prevalent in new pipes
which do not have the buildup of
a protective film on the inside,
and new copper pipes were
installed at the middle-high
School and Deer Hill school dur-
ing their renovations. Flushing
the pipes gels the water moving,
and is usually the best way to
bring elevated levels of contami-
nants down.
Bui the new pipes aren'l totally
to blame for the pmblems as
Pratt said lead can get into in the
water from the solder which
holds the old pipes together, or
brass fixtures. At the middle-
high school, not all pipes were
replaced with the renovations,
and some older pipes still exist
Health Board Chairman Pegg)
Chapman said contamination of
school drinking fountains is no
surprise to the board of health, as
Deer Hill has historically had
prohlems w ith its bubblers. She
added she wonders il Hushing
every day in 21 areas is fiscally
healthy for the schools. Not only
that, she said she wonders wfial
will happen on the weekends, or
when buildings are used during
the summer.
"Your Hushing plan should be
extremely short term." she said.
One year ago. the water depart-
ment conducted tests which are
required by the Department of
Environmental Protection.
Results showed elevated levels
of both lead and copper in the
drinking fountains throughout all
three school buildings. The
results were forwarded to then
Supt Edward Malvey. but appar-
ently nothing was done to reme-
dy the situation.
This spring, with no notice of
progress being made on the situ-
ation, the DHP required addition-
al and more extensive tests be
conducted, and this time results
once again showed elevated lev-
els. When Walsh found out
about the problem, fountains
were immediately shut atl and a
letter was sent home informing
parents of the situation.
Adams said the tests which
were conducted at the schools
were barely over the allowed
levels hut were enough to require
taking action. He said there were
roughly 120 samples taken from
different areas throughout all
three schools.

School 'water letter' faulted
By Samantha Brown
SAMBR0WN@CNC.COM
Neither the board of health nor
the water commission were
happy about a school department
letter sent home to parents about
elevated levels of lead and cop-
per in school drinking water.
Those boards scolded Supt of
Schools Denise Walsh for
putting the water piped into
homes into the same kettle, so to
speak, as the school water.
Walsh, who was using a tem-
plate provided by the state
Department of Environmental
Protection, apologized for the
confusion, noting she doesn't
like surprises either.
In the April 25 letter Walsh
States, "the water system at the
school is not unlike that found in
area homes. Please consider
having your home tested if you
ire using a private well. If you
ire receiving water from a public-
water system (i.e. if you pay a
water bill) you can call your
local water department for ml'or-
tnation."
; Water Department Chairman
Glenn Pratt said the schtx>l-relai-
ed problem does not occur in
homes and therefore homeown-
ers do not need to test their water.
I "It pointed a finger at the water
department and there was no tip
oil given lo [he board ol health
they WOtlU be getting calls."
Pratl said al last week's school
commiilee meeting, "We need
to work together to prov ide one
correct unified answer."
Health board member Sieve
Bobo added if the contaminath m
in ihe school water had been the
result of a town-wide problem.
Ihe board of health and/or water
department would need to send
oui a blanket letter to all affected
homeowners and shin oil their
water. Thai simply wasn't the
Case, he said.
Walsh said she was following
informed the Other hoards. "I do
not like surprises either." Walsh
said. "You should have hud a
copy of the Idler and I accept
lull responsibility."
Health board chairman Peggy
Chapman said il wasn't as much
that the board didn't receive a
copy of letter poor lo it being
sent out bin ihe Idler had "sev-
eral major inaccuracies, suggest-
ing some problems were occur-
ring in the community, that is
false."

may have said what is on the
minds of many Cohasset resi-
dents.
The former sewer commission-
er would like to see the court
order — dubbed the Second

a quarter century has acted like a
cudgel over the town's head
regarding wastewater issues, rel-
egated lo the annals of hislory
once and lor all.
"I'd like to put the amended

week's selectmen's meeting
about ihe legal agreemeni that
had its genesis back in 1979.
Vanderweil may gel his wish

place wiih ihe state Department

The DEP sent the town an
updaled draft, which, among
other llungs. includes a schedule
for sewering the Little Harbor
district and lees for non-compli-
ance. Town Meeting voted in
December 2(XM to incorporate
ihe schedule into ihe judgment to

"We need lo create new ways
10 solve the problem." she said,
adding she believes by imple-
menting a SI increase in the
school lunch program, the two
teaching positions which were
privately Rinded and would have
been eliminated, can be saved.
Williams said she has been
gathering information during the
past lew weeks and has learned
the Cohassel schools serve 9.7(H)
lunches per month on average.
Taking oui the supplemented
lunches, she estimated roughly
X.IXXI lull-price lunches are
served per month. Williams did
not include breakfast sales in her
calculations.
If the lunch charge is raised by
SI. lhal would yield SX.IKKI per
month, which could in turn raise
$80,000 throughout the course of
the school year, she said.

'Tve never heard of anything

SlanetZ said he too has been
investigating creative ways to
raise more money for the schools
and said he has been looking at

school department should begin
looking at its transportation pro-
gram as a whole, and consider
potentially "car-pooling" with

I lynn said raising lunch lees i-
esscntially a tax on families with

has already spoken thai il does
DOI WaM to increase its luxes, and
lhal is what an increase- in lunch
lees would be.
I I > mi said Ihe voters were
given a choice lo choose to fund
the services they want, and it was
said if the override did not pass,
teaching positions would be cut.
The town chose nol to support it,
ami Flyiin said the committee
should do what il said would be
done, or risk Us credibility, which
could result in overrides nol
being passed in the future.
" I think we have to deal with
ihe money we have right now.
What are we going to do If every
one decides to boycott lunches in
2006," he said.
School committee member
Adrienne MacCarthy agreed and
said there is a perception in Ihe
Community thai every year, a
teaching position is held oul lo
persuade voters to support Ihe
override, but in the end. positions
ate never really lost.
"I don't want lo see two teach-
ers let go." she said, but agreed
with l-iynn lhal the board's cred-
ibility is on the line.
School committee member
Pam Wilson asked whether they
could somehow sjtrvey parents to
see if iheV wnuil be willing to
pay Ihe extra dollar if they know
it will be used lo save teaching
positions.
However. I lynn said wilh the
end of the fiscal year in two
weeks, the school committee
does not have the kind of lime il
would need to properly investi-
gate raising lunch fees. He said
ihe time to bring new ideas to the
forefront has long since passed
Bui Williams said she doesn't
think the message voters wanted
to send when Ihey did not
approve the override was lhat
they wanted lo cut teachers
Williams then suggested the
schools begin Implementing a
"sen ice bank" which would
have parents volunteering then
time lo clean or make improve-
ments to the school buildings.
She said if parents could he
counted on to make repairs or
paint or clean, it could save the
town money.
However. Flynn reminded
Williams of ihe plan al the Deer
Hill school where aides were CU1
from the budgel. with ihe antici-
pation parents would come for-
ward to help QUI, and that
assumption ended in disaster.
"These are all great ideas, but
maybe they're 2007 ideas.

Teachers show soUdarity
over contract negotiations
Turned out in
force last week
By Samantha Brown
SAMBR0WNI9CNC.COM
Willi contracts expiring Aug.
31, a zero percent increase cur-
rentlv plugged inlo the school
budgel. and a failed S400.000
override money is light and
school employees are concerned
about what the future holds.
So it was no surpnse there was
standing-room only at last week's
(June ui school committee meet-
ing, where teachers and nurses
wearing symbolic red buttons dis-
playing their unity came to
show their concerns over contract
negotiations.
What looked like picket signs
lining ihe doorway leading to Ihe
meeting mom spoke lo ihe quali-
ty of education in Cohassel
schools and the commitmeni
teachers have to making thai hap-
pen.
Members of the Cohassel
Teachers Association asked to be
put on the June 9 school commit-
tee agenda to present their con-
cerns.
Cohassel Middle School lan-
guage teacher Heidi < Nson read a
statement on behalf of the cts.
outlining its position.
"As tire current school year
draws lo a close, ihe Cohassel
Teachers Association is con-
cerned thai our present three-year
contract is expiring in AugUSt of
2005. Negotiations began in
November of 2004 and very little
progress has been made since lhat
time." she said.
Olson then handed school Com-
mittee chairman Jamie Williams
numerous letters in support of the
negotiations team that wenj
signed by teachers and nurses.
Olson also pointed out the many
achievements of Cohassel stu-
dents, making special note of this
year's graduating seniors.
"Ninety-two percent of our
graduating seniors will attend
four-year colleges and universi-
ties in the fall." she said. "Our
graduates have been admilled to
prestigious colleges, such as
Oxford. Harvard. Dartmouth,
Georgetown, and MWdlebury,
just io name a few.
"For the tilth year in a row. a
Student at our high school has
been awarded the distinguished
Henry David Thoseau
Scholarship... In a small scBnol
system like ours, these accom-
plishments, just could not happen
without ihe skill, dedication, and
commitmeni of the teachers of the
Cohassel Public Schools in pan
nership wilh the parents and the
community."
To retain and attract Ihe kinds of
teachers the Cohassel community
expects, Olson said competitive
salaries need to he offered. In
addition, she said all teachers and
nurses need to have the opportu-
nity and financial support lo take
graduate courses to further their
professional growth.
"Let us work together noW to
reach this goal so lhal no further
job actions will be necessary ."she
said.
In an interview after the meet
mg. school committee member
Alfred Slanet? said he was fey
happy lo see the number of peopf."
in the audience during last week's
meeting, as ntOK participation is
always welcome. He said; he
would love teachers to hecorQe a
bigger part of the decision-mak-
ing process and "Help us make
good decisions lo optimi/e Ihe
classroom experience for chil-
dren."
He said for some lime now, he
has been pulling oul ihe idea to
the committee of hav ing a regular
"Coffee with Ihe Committee,
during which teachers would
meet vv ith a member or two fifom
ihe school committee and get 10
know each other on a more infoi
mal basis and share ideas for an
hour or so before school. He said
he would like coffees to happen at
all three schools on either a
monthly or bi-monthly basis
"I hope it'll get lo a vole," he
said.
"Teachers and the classroom
experience are ihe most valuable
pan of education.'" he said, adding
even though there is a limited
budget this year, his mission has
been lo enhance the classroom
experience.
'Teachers are at Ihe heart of but
schools and we re very fortunate
to have an excellent and very
qualified staff," he said. "I vwmt
them lo know they are respected

and we very much appreciate

the 1990s. He assured them the
experience would not be the same
ihis time around.
"We keep the charge well below
the level that causes damage," he
said, explaining he can easily con-
trol the intensity of the blast. "I
can't promise I can bring the level
below the level humans can
detect but I can keep it to a mini-
mum." he said.
However. Anne Montague. 26
Deep Run. was not swayed by
Smith and said she is completely
against any blasting taking place.
She said many of the homes on
Deep Run do not have basements
because there is so much ledge
and she doesn't see why this home
needs to be any different.
"We're going to be blasted to
smithereens," she said.
The tire department has the
blasting reports on tile from the
project which was completed in
the 1990s and Smith agreed to
w ork w ith the department to com-
pare what took place then with the
Stevens' plans. The tire depart-
ment is notified when any blasting
lakes place in town. The fire
department can order blasting to
stop and bring in a state explosives
expert to oversee the operation if
necessary.
The large home bylaw was
passed at the 2004 Annual Town
Meeting and serves as a way to
prevent ■•mansioni/ation" as well
as insure there is a mechanism for
abutters to air concerns when a
large home is planned for a neigh-
borhood. It is triggered when
plans for a home exceed the
greater of 3.500 square feet or 10
percent of the lot area up to 6.000
square feet. The Stevens' proposal
would increase their home to
4,390 square feet. Square-feet cal-
culations in Cohasset do not
include the basement or attic
spaces
Public hearings are conducted
by the planning hoard, which then
gives a recommendation to the
building inspector on whether a
building permit should be issued.
The planning board cannot pre-
vent a project from moving for-
ward.
Planning Board Chairman Al
Moore said whether the neighbors
like the thought of blasting going
on in their neighborhood or not.
the couple is well within its rights
lo do so. He said had the home
not been a "large home" they
could have torn down the existing
structure and have completed
blasting already, provided they
had the permits to do SO, and the
planning board would never have
been notified.
"People do have rights lo do
what they w anl to their property,"
he said. "No one can ever guaran-
tee there won't be any damage."
However, member Peter Pratt
said he did not agree with Moore
and said when Town Meeting
approved the bylaw, it was for the
implicit reason that. "Things —
no pun intended — were falling
through the cracks." Homes were
being torn down and much larger
homes were being built in their
place, and neighbors weren't
being notified of (he substantial
changes which would take place
in the neighborhood. He said it is
the job of the planning board to
ensure neighborhixids are not

I just wanted to take a minute and tell you how happy I am
with how things arc going for me since I started at Fitness
Together, Concord. In fact, I have already exceeded my
initial expectations.
After a rough year, I had been finding more and more
excuses NOT to work out. 1 usually fell back on the "I'm
just too busy" excuse. Being able to make appointments
makes it so much easier to fit into my busy schedule.
The experience wouldn't be the same without the staff you
have. Frank, Johnny and Tim have given me the perfect mix
of encouragement and challenge. I was never a big fan of
gyms because I was a bit self-conscious. Having the private
room and a trainer I am comfortable with has made all the
difference.
Each month brings a new accomplishment. Here's to
keeping it going!

going to be negatively impacted
by development, as the bylaw
says new development cannot be
injurious lo what already exists.
Bui Moore said the board can
only work with the regulations it
has. and in his opinion, the
Ntcvenses have complied. He said
if the town is unhappy with the
protection it has from blasting,
zoning changes need to take place
Ed Lappen. 1 8 Deep Run. said
there must be something the plan-
ning board can do to help ihe abut-
ters. Lappen is the closest abutter
lo the Stevens and his pool is
located in close proximity to
where the blasting will occur.
"Everyone on the Street is wor-
ried about it. You are the only
forum we have to discuss this
blasting issue. The town has no
pn>v isions to protect us." he said.
Malcolm Onwood. 404
Jerusalem Road, said 95 percent
of his home rests on ledge, and he
worries his home will suffer from
blasting as well, as the vibrations
arc able to travel through rock.
"I need help and support and
you are Ihe only forum I know."
he said.
However, planning board mem-
ber Stuart Ivimey said ihe bylaw
as written "has no teeth" and he is
required only to abide by w hat it
says. While it shines a light on ihe
project and makes concerns
known. "I can't help you." He
said voters had Ihe ability to
change the bylaw at the Annual
Town Meeting this April, and
amend il lo give the planning
board more strict guidelines for
large home reviews, hut the
amended bylaw was voted down.

Moore asked abutters if they

home if blasting were not an issue*
and Montague said blasting or not
she did not want to see the home
built as planned. She said the new
house w ill not be harmonious with
Ihe neighborhood — a require-
menl under the bylaw — and
because it sits al the entrance to
the neighborhood, the home will
disturb its w hole character.
"This house is triple the size ol

Robert Leggat. 21 Deep Run,
said when he and his wife Sara
mov ed into their home, they knew
the day would come when some-
one would buy the home and want
to build up. and il would affect
views in the neighborhood.
However, while they might like
the Sievenses to consider reducing
the si/e of the project a little, if the
house meets requirements, thev
understand there is nothing thai
can be done.
Elizabeth McQuade. II Deep
Run. also sympathized with the,
couple, but said the prospect ot
damage from blasting is still a
huge concern
"I want these cuvs to have a nice
bottse, but ihe blasting really wor-
ries me. I think of my house, and
my ceiling, and it makes me very
nervous." she said.
The planning board voted 2-1 to

• are also plans afoot for
tiassel to have a joint swim
i with Scituate High.
In an effort to help boost par-
cipation in sports that could
vise lack enough players
and therefore, may not be able to
continue, the Cohasset School
Committee has agreed to allow
cooperative athletic teams,
which for now includes team-
ing up v ;th Hull and Scituate
high schrxvs.
Cohasset Athletic Director
Ron Ford said next year, the
Hull and Cohasset track and
wrestling teams will be com-
bined and there will be a joint
Scituatc-Cohassel swim team.
With combined sports pro-
grams. Ford said one school
must officially be the "host"
school, but in the schedule, both
school names will make up the
learn name.
There will be a two-year com-
mitment for the joint teams, and
if at the end the program is a
success. Ford said the schools
could begin looking into chang-
ing logos and uniforms to incor-
porate both names. For now.
teams will compete wearing the
uniforms of their sport's host
school, which means Hull stu-
dents will wear Cohasset uni-
forms for wrestling and track
and Cohasset students will swim
wearing Scituate bathing suits.
Ford said there have been a
lew students from Hull interest-
ed in wrestling but not enough
to constitute an entire team. In
light of limited numbers, '.hat
school's wrestling program was
cancelled. There have also been
lower numheis on Cohasset's
state-championship winning
Wrestling team than he would
like.
"Kids were wrestling in two
weight classes." Ford said about
Cohasset. He said having more
teammates would be a plus. "It
will give us more flexibility."
Without its own track. Hull
High School has also had limit-
ed participation in track and
field. By joining up with
Cohasset. Ford hopes participa-
tion will grow to the point where
the schools could combine to
have a 50-member team, which
many other single schools
already have. Currently.
Cohasset has roughly 30 stu-
dents participating in track, with
an even number of boys and
girls.
The Cohasset wrestling and
track teams are both included in
this year's budget. Hull will pick
up SO percent of the cost of the
track team even though initially,
it won't have the participation
numbers that Cohasset will.
Hull will also be responsible for
transporting its students to
Cohasset for practice.
Because the school's numbers
will be so small. Hull will only
be charged a percentage of the
cost associated with the
wrestling team relative to the
number of students who partici-
pate. Ford said perhaps the cost
could be picked up by one of the
Hull boosters clubs.
While swimming is a popular
sport during the summer
months, during the school year
there is nothing offered. Ford
said next year. Cohasset plans lo
partner with Scituate for a com-
bined swim team. The athletic
director from Scituate would be
responsible for conducting prac-

closely with the team.
"There's a lot of interest and
excitement." he said, adding he
estimates between 10 and 15
students will participate Irani
Cohasset and roughly 20 from
Scituate. "It would be a good
competitive program." he said.
Ford said the swimming pro-
gram is currently not in
Cohasset's budget, and therefore
would need to be funded by par-
ents. However, if things go well,
he hopes the program might be
considered for inclusion in the
budget moving forward. He
estimated the combined team
will cost $16,000 with the
charges for each school based
on the percentage of students

By Samantha Brown
SAMBBOWN»C NC.COM
While the Cohassel community is
small in number, it is big in heart, which
is evident in ihc number of charitable
events iis residents porbcipstc in. This
yew. for the ninth in a row, it is estimat-
ed thai more than 600 walkers from the
community and its surrounding towns,
including Hingham and Scituate. will
participate in the Relay for Life, raising
monej to support the American Cancer
Society in all its endeavors.
From Friday, June 17 at fi p.m. to
Saturday June If at 10 a.m. Relay par-
ticipants will raise money to benefit the
America] Cancer Society while they
walk the track at Cohasset High School
in teams, taking turns while trying to
keep a presence on the track ail night

Cohasset Relay Chairman Harry St.
Onge said last year. "We raised over
S 152.000," and this year. Cohasset has
set lis sights mi raising at least that
much Already, preliminary counts on

lo celebrate the strides that have been
made in cancer research and the ability
to put up a strong battle against the dis-
ease, every year the Relay begins with
mincer survivors taking u victory lap
around the track.
" Hie involvement of local cancer sur-
vivois i £ proot of the progress that has
been made in improving cancer surv ival
rates and the quality of life following
cancel treatment.^ said Holly Grant,
urea director for development for the
American Cancer Society.
Si. ( Inge, a three-time cancer survivor,
said last year. 61 survivors walked the
first lap. Tile survivors were spread
throughout 37 teams participating in the
event.
W hile the Relay is centered around a
serious cause, it is also full of entertain-
ment and celebration lor those who par-
ticipate. There will be music, team
fund-raising activities, fun theme laps,
and contests going all night long. In
addition, to help nourish the appetites of
those walking the track, the Taste of the
Relay will be held, beginning at roughly
6:40 p.m. .just after the survivor's lap.
This year, the Taste will be in its sixth
year, and booths featuring area restau-
rants such as Schooners, the Red Pairot.

FROM FESTIVAL. PAGE 1
"Our goal was IO-tO-15
schools out of the 55 invitations
sent out altogether. So we tell we

said.
The 1 5 area high schools that
accepted the offer to participate
include Braintree. Cohasset.
East Bridgewater. Hingham.

Cardinal Spellman High School
in Brockton, Sacred Heart High
School in Kingston, the South
Shore Charter School in
Norwell. and South Shore
Christian Academy in
Weymouth. Students from the
Inly School in Scituate also look
part.
"1% students
took part
altogether, some
in-clsss 3nd sonic
after school."
— Kim Canney. South Shore
Art Center
Together. the students
involved managed to come up
with remarkably intriguing and
diverse visual-artistic interpreta-
tions of their towns. Canney
said. Each one also provides a
group statement representing
their works, describing aspects
such as the creative process,
varieties of media used and
motifs ranging from traditions
and pristine natural elements to
modernization and commercial-
ization.
The paintings will be assem-
bled in an installation on
Cohasset Common. The public
will be able to walk through and
observe the young artisLs" per-
spectives on their hometowns in!
a way similar to those, who
recently strolled and browsed
through Christo's Central Park
Gates.
"1% students took pan alto-1
gether. some in-class and some;
after school. A lot of their teach -
ers said that the art project v
very exciting because it gave
students focus." Canney said.
Art Center Executive Dircc
Sarah Hannah gave the
high marks.
"It's extraordinary that 120;
high School students from 14;
schools tapped their creativity to;
contribute to this unique piece On
art. Our Town - Outside thei
Frame celebrates the South]
Shore Art Center's 50-year com- '
mitment to art education and,
artists.'" she said. •"Come walk;
through this ama/ing installation •
on Cohasset Common... don't
miss our 50th Arts Festival!"

ture l()-pole art exhibition tent. J

Respect for
the flag
fcs) of us have shed a lear at events when Old Glory
is raised or lowered. We place our hand over our
i or salute as the Star Spangled Banner or other
patriotic music is played.
Pride in our flag is something most Americans share.
But today w ith the Stars and Stripes adorning everything from
running shorts to plastic cups, most of us have no understanding
of how to show respect lor our Hag on a regular basis.
However, here in CohflSSet we can thank the American Legion
Post, and in particular the Sons of the American Legion led by
Thomas Wigmore, for prut iding us with the opportunity to
proper!) dispose of old American Hags.
Over the past \ears. hundreds dropped old Hags off at the
depositor, in front ol [be Legion Hall on Summer Street.
On Sunday, the Sons, along w ith members of the VFW.
l egion and Legion Ladies Auxiliary, conducted a llag burning
ccrcinom at Woodside Cemetery — where tattered flags that
had served their purpose as symbols of our patriotism — were
burned in a dignified manner.
The Sons plan to make the eeremonv an annual event around
Flag Day, which is the anniversary of the Continental Congress'
Rag Resolution on June 14. 1777. The resolution established
the llag as ha\ ing 1 3 alternating red and white stripes; and the
w line siars < 1 3 at the lime) on a blue field. Flag Day was offi-
cial!} established h\ the Proclamation of President Woodrow
Wilson m 1416. And in 1944. President Harry Truman signed
an Act of Congress designating June 14 of each year as
National Flag Day.
Most of us mean no harm when we allow our flags displayed
iin our homes or atop llag poles at our businesses to become
worn. But. truthfully, that is a sign of disrespect. We owe it to
all those who tough! for our llag — which the symbol of the
freedom we enjoy — to ensure our old flag is either cleaned
ami mended, or retired and replaced when it is no longer fit to
serve as a symbol of our country .
The red. w hite and blue of Old Glory, no matter how small or
large, should be \ ihrant — the edges crisp. A bright, fresh flag
can shows we continue to renew our belief in all that the Stars
and Stripes stand for.
Here are some tips for displaying the flag:
• On a vehicle - Attach the flag to the antenna or clamp the
flagstaff to the right fender. Do not lay the llag over the vehicle.
• On a building - Hang the flag on a staff or on a rope over
• the sidewalk w ith the stars away from the building.
• Ov er the street - Hang the flag w ith the stars to the east on a
north- south street or north on an east-west street.
• Above other flags - Hang the flag above any other flag on
the same pole
• Other Hags, separate poles - Hang all flags on equal poles.
Hang the U.S. flag on its own right, hoist it first and lower it
last.
■ • In a w indow - Hang the flag vertically with the stars to the
• left of anyone looking at it from the street.
• Half-staff - This is a sign of mourning. Raise the flag to the
top of the pole then lower it to the half way point. Before low-
' ering the flag, raise it to the top again at the end of the day.
• Upside dow n - An upside-down flag is considered a distress
signal.
• Multiple staffs - If you display the flag on a staff with other
flags around it. place the flag at the center and highest point.
Crossed stalls - Keep the flagstaff higher and on its own right.
• In a hall or lobby - Hang the flag vertically across from the
main entrance w ith the stars to the left of anyone coming
through the door.
Sonn e: Our Flan, US Congress
j About the Stars and Stripes — Between 1777 and I960,
Congress passed several acts that changed the shape, design and
arrangement of the flag and allowed for additional stars and
stripes to be added to reflect the admission of each new state.
Today the flag consists of 13 horizontal stripes, seven red
alternating with six white. The stripes represent the original 13
colonies, the stars represent the 50 states of the Union. The col-
ors of the flag are symbolic as well; red symbolizes hardiness
and valor; white symbolizes purity and innocence and blue rep-
resents vigilance, perseverance and justice.

Gift donation clarified
TO THE EDITOR:
I would like to clarify a point made in
Samantha Brown's story about the recogni-
tion of Mr. DeLorenzo at last Saturday's high
school graduation. Ms. Brown's story states
that the PSO presented Mr. DeLorenzo w ith
a 10-day trip to Italy in recognition of his
years of service.
While it is true that the presenter. Linda
Bolster, is a member of the PSO and that the
PSO made a contribution to the gift, as we
traditionally do when an administrator
leaves, the gift was not funded by the PSO.
Ms. Bolster was acting as an individual in
organizing this gift and many contributors
from the senior class and the community
gave generously to her cause.
The PSO was happy to be able to help rec-
ognize an individual who has given so much
to our schools, but Ms. Brown gives us too
much credit for what was truly a community
effort.

Sandy Beach to delay seasonal opening
COMMENTARY
Robin Lawrence
Sandy Beach is a private developed barrier
beach, owned and managed by the Sandy
Beach Association (SBA) as set forth in a
trust established in 1917 for recreational use
by Cohasset residents.
Under the sound management of the SBA
Board, overseen by the Cohasset
Conservation Commission, families have
enjoyed the splendor of the wonderful white
sand at Sandy Beach for decades. The Town
of Cohasset owns the beach parking lot and
works collaboratively with the SBA to meet
the parking needs of beachgoers.
In June 2004, the state Department of
Environmental Protection (DEP), acting on a
complaint from a Cohasset resident, alleged
that the SBA and the Town were in violation
of the Cohasset Conservation Commission
approved beach management plan. The DEP
requested the SBA establish a frontal dune
(located seaward of the wall separating the
beach from the parking lot) and restrict use of
"cleaning equipment" on the beach. The
DEP further requested the Town reestablish
the accumulated sand liming the area
between the parking lot and Atlantic Avenue.
Cleaning of the beach and
parking lot had to be
postponed until this week
and will not be completed
until Friday, June 24.
The SBA Board and Town management
spent a significant amount of time, effort, and
financial resources to resolve beach manage-
ment and parking lot maintenance issues that
are of concern to the DEP. After 1 2 months of
threatened daily fines and tense negotiations,
the DEP reached a formal agreement with the
SBA Board and the Town of Cohasset this
week.
The agreement, which includes a beach
management and parking lot maintenance
plan, establishes height and width parameters
for "equipment no touch" sand accumulation
areas seaward of the beach rock wall and
along the parking lot border with Atlantic
Avenue.
While the SBA and the Town are relieved
to conclude the negotiations, the delay in
reaching consensus has negative conse-
quences. Cleaning of the beach and parking
lot had to be postponed until this week and
will not be completed until Friday, June 24.
For safely purposes, the beach and parking
lot will be closed to the public when equip-
ment is operating. The seasonal beach open-
ing, with lifeguard staffing and bathhouse
availability, has been rescheduled to
Saturday, June 25.
The Association's goal of saving our valu-
able natural resource while retaining its
recreational use continues to be of paramount
importance. The SBA Board wishes you a
happy and healthy summer at Sandy Beach

Stumps, wetland replication and safety
TomGr
Mark Bre
The MBTA clearing operations continue to
work their way toward the Hingham line. Mid
week they were pulling stumps in the area
between Smith Place and Sohier Street. The
stumps are yanked out of the ground by a very
large power shovel. Another very specialized
piece of equipment, called a tub grinder, is used
to chew the stumps into tiny bits. Picture a large
machine with a diesel engine, on caterpillar type
tracks and a large washing machine type tub
connected to the back of it. The tub itself is
gigantic and is open at the top. Whole stumps
are dropped in at the top and chips come out the
bottom onto a conveyor. Stump grinding is a
very noisy dangerous operation. Fortunately for
abutters, the tub grinder does not stay in one
place for very long.
The MBTA will also begin the work of replac-
ing culverts under the rail bed. Culverts are tun-
nels designed to permit surface water to flow
from one side of the tracks to the other. There
are a number of granite culverts that date back
over 1(H) years that are generally in sad repair.
They have plugged up and no longer permit the
surface water to tlow unobstructed. This has
allowed wetlands to build up in these areas due
to the poor drainage. All of the old culverts
along the right of way will eventually be
Stump grinding is a very noisy
dangerous operation.
Fortunately for abutters, the tub
grinder does not stay in one
place for very long.
replaced with smooth modern culverts, mostly
constructed of reinforced concrete that will
allow the water to drain from the track area once
more.
In addition to the culverts, the MBTA will be
installing open drain ditches and covered pipes
that will drain the areas along side the tracks
into the streams and ponds where they ultimate-
ly flow. This improved drainage will help many
areas with localized Hooding due to the reduc-
tion of drainage capability that has occurred
over the years.
However, there is a Hip side to this story. This
poor drainage has caused wetlands to establish
slowly with time. These wetlands are now pro-
tected and have developed their own unique
plant and animal populations. The MBTA has
committed to the Massachusetts Departmental
of Environmental Affairs that for every square
fool of wetlands they reduce through improved
drainage, they w ill rebuild 2 square feet of new
wetlands.
So, as you drive along Route 3A you will see
some construction activities behind J J's Dairy
Hut. Land that used to be a part of the boatyard
and the Barnes landscaping materials business is
being used to construct replicated wetlands. The
MBTA is replacing each square foot of demol-
ished wetlands with two square feel of new wet-
lands because not all new wetlands establish
themselves and become viable wetlands. Some
will revert back to non-wetlands. The 2: 1 repli-
cation accounts for this possible land reversion.
This way we should end up with at least 100
percent wetland replication.
Lastly, what would our update be without the
discussion of safety during construction'.' As we
prepare to recess school for the summer, it is
very important that parents stress the fact that
the Greenbush is off-limits to children who are
used to walking and riding their off-road bikes
along and across the right of way. All parents of
school aged children will be receiving a safety
reminder that will be distributed courtesy of the
schools. Please let your children know that they
cannot use the right of way area safely any
more. It is a very hazardous place.

School lunch 'user fees' send wrong message
DebbilSmadd
I watched the June 9th School Committee
meeting on TV and wanted to voice my strong
opposition to the Chairman's suggestion that
teaching positions could be funded through an
increase in lunch fees.
As far as I know, the lunch program has never
been viewed as a profit center but rather as a
service provided to parents and students, with
fees set at a level to cover expenses. Fee issues
in the past have focused on keeping fees high
enough to prevent the program running in the
red and requiring a subsidy. To raise fees
" beyond what is needed to keep the program in
the black in order to fund teachers' salaries is
equivalent to asking parents to pay a "user fee",
and a disguised one at that, for the educational
component of public education.
I think this sends a terrible message to the
community at large about who should pay for
public education. I also think it demeans teach-
ers to pay for some of their salaries by over-
charging parents for their children's lunches.
There are practical objections to the lunch fee
proposal as well. I've walched lunch program
deficits being discussed for years. It's obvious
''thai the impact on demand of an increase in the
charge for lunches is very hard to predict.
Sometimes demand for lunches goes down for
It would not be wise to try to
pay for even 3 portion of the key
part of public education, i.e.
teaching staff, with such an
unpredictable revenue source.
reasons no one can explain. It's been hard over
the years for the lunch program manager to set
fees in a way thai will cover costs without
impacting demand. Il would not be w ise to try
to pay for even a portion of the key pan of pub-
lic education, i.e. teaching stall, with such an
unpredictable revenue source.
It is obviously appropriate lo charge lor school
lunches to cover the cost of this service. It is
acceptable, though unfortunate, to charge lees
lor athletics and other co-curricular programs,
and for non-mandated transportation. These are
programs which, while traditional and valuable
in countless ways, are not actually required lo
be offered. If al least some ol the cost ol these
programs can be covered bv user lees, money is
freed up for core educational needs, such as
teacher salaries and supplies.
I am a slrong supporter of the Cohasset Public-
Schools. I have worked hard on numerous
school-related committees and chaired several
override campaigns in the past. I voted for this
spring's override and urged others to do the
same, I feel, however, that the voters have spo-
ken about the amount Ihey are willing to pay
this vear in taxes. At a minimum, the message
is that the voters as a whole warn the town and
schools lo live wiihin the limits of Proposition 2
1/2 this year.
There are also clearly voters who felt that
leaching positions could be saved by culling
"waste" from other areas of the school budget. I
think the override vole needs to be respected,
however much I disagree with it. To add money
to the school budget al this point in the process,
by charging parents a fee to prov ide classr(x>m
instruction, is to ignore the voters' message. If
there are ways to structure our transportation
system differently lo perhaps save money next
year, something the Superintendent seems to
already be working on, ihen thai should be pur-
sued now so ihose changes can be incorporated
into the 117 budget, or the 'Oft budget if it is not
too late to make changes in our transportation
program for the '05'06 school year.
We need to move forward by having the
School Committee work cooperatively w ith the
superintendent (who did not appear lo have
been consulted on some of the ideas put forward
al the meeting) and others to explore areas for
cost savings in the budget. Then we need to do
the work needed to educate the voters and con-
vince them of what we need to run the high
quality public education system we've enjoyed.

Where are the school priorities?
COMMENTARY
LnJi-miNS
At last week's School Committee meeting,
their first since the Special Town Election. Rick
Flynn stated that there is not enough time to dis-
cuss any alternatives for FY'06 but lo cut teach-
ers. With three weeks until the beginning of the
new budget, some committee members feel that
cutting classroom positions is their only alterna-
tive especially if they want to maintain credibil-
ity and continue to have overrides pass.
What? The window is too small to determine
ways to live within the FY'06 budget without
punishing the children in the classroom? With
all the months spent on this budget while being
fully aware of the town's fiscal problems there
was no thought given to choices available other
than taxing the residents more and more.
The citizens and voters of Cohasset would like
I to know what has been happening since (he May
21 Override Vote and the June 9 Meeting?
Wasn't the vote outcome important enough to
warrant a meeting immediately following the
(election allowing six weeks to deal with the
issue rather than waiting almost a month to COO-
' vene?
The idea spouted at the meeting that "the vot-
ers have spoken" and definitely want the teach-
ers cut is ludicrous. Thank goodness Roy
Fitzsimmons set the record straight. Roy point-
ed out that the Cohasset voters and taxpayers
want the schools and the town to live within
'their budgets, to practice accountability and fis-
cal responsibility and to make certain that the
dollars are not deflected from the classroom. He
also brought up the hiring of the brand new vice-
'• principal position as the school priority even
: before the override vole. Bui the officials double
talked that as not being an "addition" or new.
Well, if two administrators are now there where
'there was only one before, then something new
was created.
1 The majority of the school committee plus the
superintendent still have not realized that the
'voters have spoken out against the mismanage-
ment and the total lack of economies that has
been plaguing the system.
Only two of the school committee spoke up to
at least offer solutions to the fiscal dilemma.
Chair Jamie Williams suggested increasing the
lunch prices by $1 in order lo save two teaching
positions. For a family with three students in the
school that would mean roughly an additional
$l2/wk for the convenience of buying lunch in
school. It would just be giving up one large
pizza a week for only 711 percent of the year to
be able to put two teachers in Ihe classrooms
according to Jamie's plan. Instead of using this
as a revenue source for teaching positions, a
price increase should go toward the lens of thou-
sands in prior deficits thai was paid by ihe tax-
payers or to cover the total costs of operation.
As was pointed out there hasn't been an increase
in lunch prices in 2 - 3 years.
We have a golden opportunity
now to come together as a town
and make a real difference in
the way we handle specific non-
education areas in this budget
that will have a lasting positive
On the positive side. Dr.SlanetZ has jumped
into his position with both feel running. He. of
all the members, appears lo understand the need
lo keep the dollars in the classroom without con-
tinuing to impact the taxpayers when other
options are available. Plus he has done his
homework in actively seeking viable alterna-
tives to lax increases and is attempting to per-
form the fiduciary duties thai the v. iters entrust-
ed him with. It is unfortunate thai the majority
of his committee do not feel they should be
involved in micro-management which has been
sorely lacking.
In order to mitigate ihe impact of ihe override
vote. Dr. Slanetz suggested thai we change how
we are conducting transportation. His proposal
involves adopting bus fees as has been done in
many communities (e.g. Diivhury. Norwell.
Hanover. Sciluate and Weymouth) and also
cooperating with Sciluate in SPED transporta-
tion and total bus maintenance These options.
besides keeping roughly S20OK in the classroom
for FY'06, will also provide cost savings for
many years down the road plus be a means of
energy conservation..
It is unfortunate that Superintendent Walsh
considers it illegal to work with Scituate in bus
transportation when Scituate is willing to work
with us but then she sees no legal barrier to
cooperating with Sciluate and Hull in joint
sporis teams. This appears a totally incongruous
policy meani only to cost taxpayers more and
divert money from the children in the class-
room.
Even though it appears insignificant, the high
cell phones bills didn't even have a chance to
come up during the meeting. This continues to
be a potential SIOK savings in the transportation
budget if we jusi eliminate the 10 administrative
cell phones thai Dr. Walsh added to the plan in
December. The sch<x>l personnel already receive
a 15 percent discount on their personal cell
phone rates thai Ihe resi of the taxpayers can't
but the Superintendent in her wisdom decided
that a select group of highly paid administrators
should have free cell phone service - again tak-
ing money away from the children in the class-
rooms. I also find il curious that these adminis-
trative cell phone bills are attached to the trans-
portation budget. Il leads me to wonder how
much other creative bookkeeping is being done
in this transparent, bare bones budget.
To say that I was disappointed with business as
usual is such an understatement. We have a
golden opportunity now to come together as a
town and make a real difference in the way we
handle specific non-education areas in this bud-
gel that will have a lasting positive economic
impact Instead, at the school committee meet-
ing we witnessed our highly paid new superin-
tendent steam-rolling her agenda and dismissing
out of hand any thinking out of the box. It
reminded me of 'the good old days w ith the Ted
Malvey Show
What we need now instead of arrogance, close
mindedness and a decision to ultimately punish
the children is for our elected officials to be bold
enough to follow these words of FDR: 'Take a
method and try it. If it fails, admit it frankly and
try another Hut above all try something."

Arkansas has an official state musical
instrument (the fiddle). Arizona an official
state tie (the bolal. Maryland an official
sport (jousting) and Florida an official slate
play ("Cross and Sword") performed annu-
ally in Si. Augustine.
Let's hope that Sam and D.J \ campaign
for the garter snake doesn't turn out like
Rhode Island's search for an official state
drink did a few years ago.
Rep. John Ban\ a Democrat from Lincoln,
started it all by filing a bill for a constituent
naming something called "coffee milk" the
official stale drink. That raised the hackles
on the neck of Rep Bruce Long, a
Republican from Middleiown. who operat-
ed a lemonade franchise in Cranston. He
opted for frozen lemonade.
The argument grew so healed thai it called
for intervention from the ethics commis-
sion, the official stale one. that is.
I don't know how it turned out but I real-
ly don't care. I've always remembered
Narragansett beer as the official state drink
of Rhode Island.

his daily life was a great inspi-

TO THE EDITOR
Fix the budget
and live within it
FROM LETTERS. PAGE 14
y« u> see any backup data lo
•.how the comparisons are
apples lo apples, There is no
evidence the budgets being
compared include or exclude
ihe same budget lines.
Dr. Slanel/ proposed some
good ideas regarding trans-
portation but they were dis-
missed out of hand. Why is it a
good thing to have cooperative
sports programs but not coop-
erative transportation which
would keep money lor the
classrooms.
The concept of fee based ser-
vices is lair and equitable
because the people who bene-
fit from the services should be
assuming all the cost. But
these ices should cover all the
costs and should not rely on
money coming out of the
classroom to make up short-
falls.
We also voted NO based on
the fact it was the school bud-
get that was the basis for the
override. The town side made
real cuts and was balanced.
Why do you lliink the town
should absorb some of Ihe
cuts'.'
One item that really irritates
taxpayers is the concept of
raising money privately to
cover just the salaries of teach-
ers. The schools consider all
their employees to be town
employees when it comes to
benefit costs and they don"t
care where the money comes
from or what the impact is on
the town services.
It's time for the schools to
stop being a monolithic institu-
tion with no regard for the
community. One of the reasons
the override didn't pass is this
ongoing attitude of the school
community that they are 'enti-
tled': give us our money but
don't ask lo be accountable;
don't expect us to be fiscally
responsible.
Lee Jenkins received a lot of
votes based on the ideas she
brought forth during the cam-
paign. She didn't win. but why
not respond to her offer of cre-
ative ideas. Good managers
surround themselves with peo-
ple who can make them look
good not just people who agree
with them.
Just because people don't
attend the school committee
meetings doesn't mean we
haven't been watching, listen-
ing, keeping up on the issues.
This kind of thinking is anoth-
er example of the arrogance
exhibited by ihe school com-
munity.
As is the superintendent's
dismissal of the Board of
Health and the Water
Commission in reference to
the lead in the drinking foun-
tain water in the schools. It
would have been the act of a
responsible professional to
contact these boards before a
letter was sent out to parents.
And while I'm on a good
rant, our facilities manager has
been here long enough to have
figured out how to turn off the
gym lights! Perhaps having his
salary based on a percentage of
money saved would provide
incentive! And why is he
spending so much time in the
schools? Isn't he supposed to
be working on all Ihe town
buildings? Are there some
maior maintenance issues at
our brand-new $52 million
dollar facilities that the public
isn't being told about?
There is a wonderful oppor-
tunity with our new superin-
tendent and new school com-
mittee members to really
'think outside the box' and
restructure our schools so that
our classrooms and curriculum
are funded first and foremost.
Then we can continue to pro-
vide the highest quality educa-
tion to our young people. I
hope the school community
will rise to the occasion.

Regionalization should
be on the table
To the Editor:
Ii was very interesting to hear
the discussions and banter at the
school committee meeting last
week. The theatrics of some of
the committee members were
almost laughable. They did agree
to absorb approximately
$285,000 of the $400,000 defeat-
ed at the override election. They
talked about hypothetical
instead of some real numbers that
could be achieved in a few
weeks.
They asked questions of
Representative Garrett Bradley
who addressed Ihe committee
regarding the state budget. They
didn't request that Representative
Bradley introduce legislation to
reduce the burden of the special
needs costs placed on the cities
and towns by the slate. I asked
that he introduce legislation to
bring the base for reimbursement
lo our average cost per student
and eliminate the multiplier of
three times the town's base aver-
age per pupil cost before the stale
commences with reimbursement.
He said that he would introduce
that legislation.
The Superintendent intro-
duced reductions where she saw
that the $285,000 could come
from. She is looking to eliminate
the two teaching positions that
were partially privately funded
last year, two brand new leach-
ing positions, and she feels that
she will be getting approximate-
ly $105,000 in special needs
funds. Some members of the
committee didn't like the idea of
eliminating teachers. However,
some members stated thai they
had lo do something because the
number for the budget had to
be presented to the Town soon
because the new fiscal year
commences on July 1. They
started discussing ways to cut
transportation costs and how to
increase the cost of the school
lunches. One member stated that
this was good discussion for the
2007 budget but not for the
immediate need that had to he
met.
I guess that the new assistant
principal is necessary because
that new position was not intro-
duced to be cut. In fact one
member slated that the school
administration could not be cut.
Our system has three principals
and one assistant principal, ai
this time. On July I the new
assistant principal will start. We
will then have three principals
and two assistant principals for
approximately 1.500 students.
This is an absurd ratio. To start
with we should have just two
principals and maybe two assis-
tant principals. One principal at
the high school/middle school
with an assistant principal. One
principal for the Osgood/Deer
Hill schools with one assistant
principal. This should give us
quite a savings in that area alone
with the elimination of a princi-
pal.
The defeat of the override has
enhanced the level of discussion
going on about the schools and
how ihey are managed. This is
good. Il has also brought about
discussions about other town
departments and their levels of
funding and how Ihey should be
run. When many people discuss
ways lo address problems many-
good ideas are put on the table,
reviewed, discussed, and hope-
fully enough survive to improve
our systems, cut our costs and
control our spending.
Regionalization should
sidered. There has to be i
tion and redundancy
in like programs among
boring towns. Now is the time to
reopen discussions abour
regionalizing programs.

Supi. Denise Walsh
announced last Thursday (June

Coordinator Peggy Litchfield
will be resigning at the end of
this year alter more than 10
years of service to the district.
"I want to thank her for what
must have been a Herculean
task." said Walsh, as Litchfield
helped bring the bus service for
Cohassel back in-house.
In a telephone interview.
Litchfield said making the deci-
sion to leave the district has
been extremely tough.
"I'm really invested in these
kids and the families I*ve dri-

said she remembers speaking

school every day.
"I'm going .to miss the kids
terribly," she said.
However. Litchfield said the
decision is what's best for her.
and her family, and while she is
unsure what the future holds,
she will be taking the summer to
spend time with her own chil-
dren. Tricia and Jamie.
Litchfield said she would like
to thank all the people who have
been so supportive of her over
the years, including all three
building principals and their
clerical staff. Jean Callahan.
secretary to the superintendent;
and her drivers. Dama Dow,
Kelly Dickson. Bonnie Palm.
Jimmy Clark. April Martin.
Virginia Clay, Carol Coleman,
as well as her mechanic Marty
Hale.
"I couldn't do it without
them." she said.
Walsh said moving forward,
the cost of keeping the bus ser-
vice in-house may be more than
the district can handle, and said
she is looking at three scenarios
for changing (he way the buses
are being run.
The first alternative would be
to hire a new transportation
coordinator and look at how the
buses are being maintained.
She said the schools could
potentially send out a bid to hire
a contracted mechanic.
Another option would be to
have a hybrid system where the
majority of school buses would
be out-sourced and maintained
by a company, and the schools
would retain potentially two
school buses and the special
education vehicles. The buses
the schools retain could be used
for field trips and for athletics.
"This would get us out of the
major responsibility." she said,
adding that is the option she
favors.
The third option would be to
completely outsource the buses
and let someone else handle
them.
Walsh said because it is late in
the year, it would be impossible
to completely outsource the
buses at this point in time
However, she said for the 2(X)7
budget, it is an option that will
he looked into.
School committee member
Alfred Slanetz suggested
Cohassel look into overlapping
special education \an routes
with a neighboring town like
Scituate. and potentially putting
out a joint-hid for a contract.
However, the idea did not sii
well with Walsh.
"I wouldn't even want to think
of the legality." she said
Three members voted in Favor
of advertising for a new trans-
portation coordinator and
mechanic, and two abstained,
which means the advertise-
ments will he posted in the near

For a period and a hall ol
Monday's Div. 3 state champi
onship game, the Cohasset boys
lacrosse team looked as if it
might pull off what tew gave
them a chance to do.
Earlv goals from Aidan Buiek
and Jon Grimm, mixed with
some stymieing defense and
some big saves by goalie Ben
Libby, saw the Skippers holding
a 2-0 lead with six minutes to go
in the first half.
At that point. Medfield called
timeout, and its players came out
of it showing why they are the
best Div. 3 team in the stale.
The home Warriors ran off live
goals in as many minutes to end
the half, and continued the
onslaught in the second half to
earn themselves a 14-4 win and
the state championship.
For the Cohasset boys, who
ended their season with n 13*9
record, it was the end of a great
rule that saw them beat .'-seed
Austin Prep and 2-seed Dover-
Sherhom in the two previous
round-..
Shortly after the game.
Cohasset head coach Stu Curran
told his players t.i hold their
heads high.
"I'm very happy with the sea-
son we had." Curran said "We
made a lot of progress from our
first game of the year against
Duxbury I'm proud of these kids
and the wav they stepped up in
the latter half of the season "

Legions out-dueled
Rennie's solid
performance
for Post 118
wasted
By Win Bates
CORRESPONDENT
One pitch determined the out-
come of Monday night's Zone 6
East American Legion baseball
battle between Braintree's Post
86 and Post 118 of Cohasset ,u
Cohasset High School.
Braintree shortstop Anthony
Melchionda lined that pitch deep
into the left-field comer to send
home the only two runs of the
game in the second inning, and
Post 8f> righthander Steve
Connors out-dueled Cohasset
lefty Mark Rennie to give
Braintree its third straight win of
ihe voung season. 2-0.
It was an outstanding pitching
performance by both hurlers. as
neither walked a batter and each
gave up just five hits. Connors
struck out seven in the thud
straight route-going performance
by a Braintree pitcher (two by
Connors) and Rennie struck out
four in his complete-game effort.
Both were backed by some qual-
ity defensive plays and had Con-
trol of the hitters throughout
'The thing that impressed me
tonight was the fact that we
played a ballgame in which there
wasn't a walk for either side."
said Braintree manager Dun
Fabrizio. "How many times do
you ever see that at any level ?
Both pitchers did an outstanding
fob tonight, and we got the one
big hit that we needed from
Melchionda. and it made the dif-
ference."
Cohasset dropped to I -2
despite getting the same strong
pitching and defense that the
w inners did. and play ing on even
terms with the perennial title
contenders from Braintree.
Braintree had a string of seven
straight Zone 6 East champi-
onships snapped by Milton, who
edged Post 86 by one game tor
the regular season title last sum-
mer.
"It was a well-pitched game on

fails. After all, until last year,
we, were in the same boat:
Eternally miserable without a
championship, us since 1918
when the Sox beat the Cubs,
them since 1908. The Sox fans
were just so delighted to be
there and the Cubs fans
seemed happy to see us. I was
already having a great time
and I hadn't even set foot
inside Wrigley.
Walking into the stadium. I
could barely breathe. Until
only a few days earlier in St.
Louis (more on that game
later), I had never seen the Red
Sox play anywhere but
Fenway Park. But unlike in St.
Lojiis, where Sox fans were
indeed a minority, there were
thousands of us at Wrigley.
We made our way to our
seats — behind the Sox dugout
about 30 rows up, equal to
Upper Box seats at Fenway —
and found ourselves sitting
next to Cubs fans and in front
and behind Sox fans. Enerzo
was directly on my left. He
was a Cubs fan and was the
first to officially welcome us
to Wrigley. Like so many of
the fans I've seen at Fenway.
Enerzo was busy keeping
score in his scorebook. He
chatted with us about the Cubs.
Wrigley, the City of Chicago,
and even asked questions
about the Sox.
We were both equally confi-
dent, him boasting about Greg
Maddux, me about Bronson
Arroyo. He was actually
apia/ed by how much we knew
about the Sox. and I told him.
"j wouldn't wear this hat (blue
with the red B) if I didn't fol-
low the team."
Watching the game is when I
really saw how similar Cubs
and Sox fans really are. Like
us, they stand and cheer on two
strikes, no matter what inning
i( is. They rise to their feet on
every hit or near hit, like we
do! They have chants and alle-
giances to specific players (i.e.
tans of the injured Kerry Wood
wear shirts that ask. "Got
Wood?"). They didn't
spem to take it to the extreme
trjat Sox fans do. however, like
those wig and beard wearing
l>isciples of Johnny Damon or
the cowboy hat adorning
Kevin Millar fans. There was a
group of fans recording
Maddux's strikeouts with K
cards and hanging them on a
ledge atop a rooftop stands
across the street from the field
(an amazingly cool feature),
but they weren't like the for-
mer Pedro Martinez "K men"
who painted their faces and
bodies red and had their own
web site.
Walking down the
stands to exit the
Park, some people
got a little rowdy
and gave Sox fans
some grief. When
^ pproscli od by one
sucn Teiiow, i just
politely replied,
"We're passing the
torch to you guys.
It's your turn to
make history."
They did have a mascot sim-
ilar to ours, however. Just as
we have Wally the Green
Monster, of course a pla\ on
the most recognizable feature
at Fenway, the Cubs have a
similar character dressed m
head-to- toe vine leaves like
those that cover Wrigley 's out-
field walls. Didn't catch his
name, though. Perhaps. Pern) 7
Behind from the start of the
game, things started turning a
little sour — not between us
and Enerzo. but in the stands
— once the Cubs started really
healing up on us. We could
hear random people shouting
things like "Sox... well, you
know". And to be honcsi. I
couldn't disagiee on that day
They must have lived it up the
nighl before because they just
didn't show up.
But it was a little tough lo
lake. I'd never been an in envi-
ronment where the loud cheers
weren't for (he Sox. It was like
watching batting practice dur-
ing the game. The Cubbies had
more than 20 hils in the con-
test, many of ihem homeruns.
There was a two-inning period
when I just said nothing
At home. 1 would have yelled
at the bums, but not here.
Instead. I tried to look on Ihe
bright side of things (i.e. being
at Wrigley l!! I tried to think
about how many other people
would have killed lo have been
in my seat, namely my father,
and I snapped out of it. After
Maddux hit only the fifth
homerun of his career. I joked
to Enerzo that the Sox were
giving the Cubbies this one
because of 1918.
Maddux lefi the game in the
seventh and even-one stood
and cheered, myself included.
(You have lo respect a guy
who makes a typically potent
Sox lineup look like a bunch of
little-leaguers). We stayed
until the end and saw David
Ortiz and Mark Bellhorn hit
homers in the ninih. finally
giving Sox fans something to
cheer about and Cubs fans an
opporlunily to ihrow them
back. But the final out was
soon recorded and Ihe Sox lost
14-6. I wasn't thrilled — espe-
cially after driving four hours
from St. Louis to Chicago
passing ihoughl nothing but
farms in towns called
"Normal" and "Funks Grove"
— but I wasn't unhappy either.
(By (he way. this trek should
have taken close to five hours
to complete, but my lead-fool
roommate. Mare, gol us there
in record lime. I siill have
nightmares aboul that drive).
Walking down Ihe stands lo
exit Ihe Park, some people got
a little rowdy and gave Sox
fans some grief. When
approached by one such fel-
low. I jusi politely replied.
"We're passing the torch to
you guys. It's your turn to
make history." He stood sur-
prised, hul then smiled and
said. "Thanks. I hope we do."
And at the place where
the Sox made history...
Things gol oft to a very slow
siart. Sunny and in ihe high-NOs
all day last Wednesday, the sky
started getting dark just as we
arrived at "Paddy O's". a bar out-
side Busch Stadium in St. Louis.
Minutes later, we got slammed
by What seemed like a monsoon
I kepi running up to (he windows
checking Ihe stains in the skies
and things jusi didn't look good.
It siarted clearing up a bit
around 7:45 p.m.. nearly two
hours alter ihe game was sup-
posed to start, vi we made our
way lo the Stadium, To our dis-
may, we arrived to see the larp

second inning. Successive
oite-out singles by Dave Wall
and Sean Harvey (each went 2-
f5f-3 ) got things going for Post
H6 in that inning, and the run-
ntrs moved up on a wild throw
ofi-a pickoff attempt.
Welchionda then ripped his
double into the left-field cor-
ner to chase Wall and Harvey
home, and Braintree had all
the runs it would need with
Connors pitching his second
straighi outstanding game on
tQe road in the young season.
Melchionda's hit was the only
extra base hit of the game.
£onnors, who blanked
Quincy in the season opener
last Wednesday, 8-0, at Adams
Field, has now pitched 12
scoreless innings on the season
(the Quincy game was halted
in the sixth inning due to light-
ning, as a thunderstorm hit
Adams Field right after it
became an official game). He
»'■ liked one and struck out
12 in those 12 innings.
He was hacked by strong
play from his infield as
Melchionda. Tom Trull and
Chris Dominguez all made
good plays, and center fielder
Tom Huddleston pulled off
another one of his sensational
diving catches, this lime rob-
bing Ryan Ferriter of an extra-
base hit with his grab in left-
center.
Connors had two base run-
ners in only one inning. Ihe
fourth, when Scott Carroll sin-
gled with one out and Kevin
Signorelli reached on the only
Braintree error of the game.
But Connors then got Terrence
O'Brien and Jack O'Leary to
fly out to end that threat.

take this opportunity to walk
around the stadium and have a
look al the place where the Red
Sox won the 2IMM World Series,
jusi a few months before.
Along ihe way, Mare and I —
both wearing Sox hats — got our
share of dirty looks from St
I.oiiis Luis, most of whom were
decked in head-to-toe Cardinals
gear. Some of the 20-somethings
fans, more specifically the young
men. stopped to chat with us and
w ixhed us well. (My other room-
mate, Belli, is from Si. Louis, so
people looked kindly on her).
We made our way up to the
nosebleeds high atop centerficld
and soaked up the beautiful \iew
of ihe field with ihe famed Arch
in the background. Behind us
stood ihe skeleton of whal would
become the new Busch Stadium.
Seconds later, Ihe field crew ran
out and began the process of tak-
ing off the larp as the rains had
ceased. All those in the stadium
cheered wildly and Mare and I
ran hack to our seats jusi before
when the game totally start-
ed.
Back at ihe bleachers, which
were actual benches with no seal-
hacks unlike those al Fenway, we
witnessed the beginnings of a
gem Sox hurler Da\ id Wells and
Cardinals pilcher Chris
Carpenter were both mowing
down the competition and ihe
game would remain scoreless
until the Sox struck in the sixth in
the form of an Ortiz bomb.
After three innings in the
bleachers, however. Mare and I
noiieed a lot of empty seals along
the third baseline, which were far
closer than the ones we were in at
right center We decided lo ven-
ture over and see if we could
upgrade, assuming many of Ihe
Cardinals fans opied not to wail
for the delay. We arrived at an
area much like Ihe grandstands at
Fenway and lixik a seal in front
of a group of Sox and Cardinals
fans.
It was here thai we met Carl, a
middle-aged Cardinal fan attend-
ing Ihe game with some friends
in town from Boston. I sal there
for a minute to took in the size
and scope of the stadium before
turning to Carl and say ing sarcas-
tically, "Boy. this place is a real
dump. Good thing you guys are
learing it down and building a
new one."
He laughed and attempted to
explain why such a BorBeous
park was going to be blown lo
bits al ihe end ol the season Carl
said Ihe siadium was original!)
built for a football learn and a
baseball team and thai has led to
a lot of wear and tear internally
To the external eye. however, this
place was jusi glorious and if
Fenway ever met a similar fate, I
told him. I would cry lor days
The fans here were decidedly
different than those of the Sox
and the Cubs. There were many
of them and as I mentioned
before, they were all in Cardinals
gear, but they just didn't seem to
be as inio the game as we are. No
one really cheered except for hils.

n'l much for them to cheer and
there were several empty seals

, COHASSET YOUTH LACROSSE
Girls home
ends with a sweep;
Youngest girls fall in
Duxbury
A season lull of hard condi-
tioning paid off in the heal as
the Cohassel youth girls
lacrosse team Finished its home
■ season on Sunday June 12.
.playing lour games at Deer
.Hill School against teams from
JHanover and Hull.
• Cohassel teams were both-
ered by the weather, but the
visiting teams wilted in it.
The Cohassel Blue 13-and-
Under learn (grades 5 and 6)
•opened the day with a double-
header, playing first against
Hanover Blue and then
Hanover Yellow. Hanover Blue
arrived shorthanded. so several
Cohassel girls volunteered to
play for the visiting team. It
was not enough.
Lindsey MacNaught scored a
first-half hal trick, with Anna
Michalowski adding two goals
and Kathleen Kelly one. as
' Cohassel controlled the open-
ing half 6-0. Cohassel dominat-
ed the second half too. but only
scored once, with Whitney
J a lie feeding Christina Healy
to answer Hanover's only goal
Molly McElgunn made two
Saves in the Cohassel net.
The Blue team should have
been wiped out from its effort,
but insteazd they simply turned
' up the heat in the game against
' Hanover Yellow, racing out to a
')-() lead thai was actuall> more
lopsided lhan the score would
indicate. Kaci Kucinski scored
twice and picked up one assist
Lindsay MacNaught notched a
goal and two assists, and
Michelle Beruhe. Olivia
Murphy. Hope Kissick. Anna
Michalowski. Eli/a Kinnealey
and Dylanne Axelson picked
up single markers in the half.
Axelson \ goal was the first of
' her youth lacrosse career, as
she typically is a stalwart on
' defense.
Hanover's team w as depleted
by injury during the game's
ftrsl 25 minutes, and several
Cohassel girls again crossed
sides to play for the visitors
during the second half. Thai
helped to slow down the
Cohassel learn, but not by
much.
Kucinski fed Kinnealey for a
score before Abby Brown
broke through for her first goal
of the season. After Hanover
scored - on a shot from Olivia
Murphy, who had crossed sides
al the break - Olivia Franklin
answered with her lirsl career
goal. Sarah Evans saw action
in the Cohasset goal for ihe
first time this year, stopping
three shots in the second half,
to team up with Molly
McElgunn and backstop the
team to the win.
The 12-1 final raised
Cohassel Blue's record to H-2-
I on Ihe year.
The Cohasset While 13-U
leant squared off against Hull
and lipped its record on Ihe sea-
son to 7-3, rolling to a 1 2-5
final thai was nol as close as
ihe score mighi suggest
Jessica Fusco scored a first-
half hal trick - which repre-
sented one more goal lhan she-
had scored all year - with
Olivia Murphy. Whittle) Jaffe.
Paige DeSisto, and Kaci
Kucinski adding solo scores, as
Cohassel raced (O a 7-2 lead.
Madeline Manning and
Merrick Sease made the game
9-2. before the teams traded
goals ihe rest of the way lo a
12-5 finish. Kucinski. DeSisto
and Lindsav MacNaught
answered Hull's goal tO make
sure the contest never gol close
again. Ellie Tedeschi pul
together another solid game in
the net to help slam the door on
the visitors.
Unfortunately, al the 15-and-
Under level (grades 7 and S).
Hull failed to have enough
players to field a team, so
Cohasset While found itself
without an opponent for the
second straight week.
Bui the Cohassel Blue learn
still had to square off with
Hanover, and again the home
learn s superior conditioning
and depth led lo a blow-out.
Lindsey Allard assisted on
IWO of ihe game's first four
goals - one to Isabclle Franklin
and another lo Kaley Madge,
and Gabriella Flibolte picke
up a solo score and then fed
Kay la Barren lor another as
Cohassel led 4-0 less lhan five

Allard answered a Hanover
score, before Franklin scored
again. Amy Meikelham fin-
ished a Flibolte feed and
Caitlin Mahoney powered
home a dash from behind Ihe
net, as Cohasset pushed its lead
to 8-2 al Ihe break.
Cohassel held back during
the second half, but Flibolte,
Mahoney and Franklin
answered Hanover's scores, as
the home team eased to an 1 1 -
5 win. Grace Clougherty and
Thomson Jaffe combined to
make 7 saves in the game, with
Clougherty slopping several
taken al point-blank range
Cohasset's ll-and-Under
girls look lo the road for Iheir
second game of ihe season,
facing off against an excellent
Duxbury learn lhal clearly had
an advantage of having a full
season's worth of games under
its bell.
Duxbury came out firing and
buill a 6-0 lead in the first half
belore Cohassel came out
much more aggressive in the
second half. Kate Bodner got
Cohassel going with her first
goal of the season on a nice
shot into the lop of ihe
cage. Cohassel buill up strong
pressure by winning several
draws in a row. with Gabrielle
Weismati and Kylie Coffman
dominating thai important
phase of the game. Maria
Buckley scored her first goal ol
the year to finish 0ft a well-
execuled last break.
Emily Robbins. Peyton
McNaughl and Maddie Curie)
shared the goallending duties
and helped keep Duxbury at
bay. Mackenzie Axelson.
Kathryn Dunn. Michaels
Durkin. Molly Fit/gerald and
Kachael Littauet all played
well on defense. For the
game's final 20 minutes.
Cohassel played as well as
Duxbury did. continuously
attacking the Duxbury goal and
just missing several nice scor-
ing chances: ultimately, how-
ever, the big first-half deficit
and Ihose near misses proved
too much to overcome, as
Duxbury closed out the game
with a 10-2 advantage
The Cohasset girls teams al
the 13-U and 15-U level will
combine lo play both days of
the Mass Bay Youth Lacrosse
League Jamboree at

racing out to an early 7-goal
lead behind ihe defensive play
of Alex Kinnealey. Scott
Wil-on. Patrick Dunne and
goallender Alexander Everett,
the boys from Norvvcll fought
back mightily in the second
half
Cohasset's first half offensive
burst was led by Morgan
Gras/. Matt Svvanborg.
Terence Durkin and Derek
Youngman Jake Durkin won
many key lace-off s to help

In the second half. Cohasset
received strong two-way play
from Adrian Dunne. Brendan

Garden tour bursts with color
By Susan DeWinter
SPECIAL TO THE MARINER
The gardens thai are highlight-
ed in Ihe Hidden Treasures
Garden Tour sponsored by the
Garden Club of Hingham are
varied, unusual and lovingly
cared for year round. The tour
will take place on Thursday, June
23 from 1 1 a.m. to 8 p.m.. show-
casing seven private Hingham
gardens.
Tickets, which include refresh-
ments, gift boutique, plant and
planter sale and raffle, may be
purchased in advance for $20 by
calling 781-749-4404 or from
Beauty and Main. Bookport.
Treasures in the Square.
Hingham Public Library. Derby
Street Shoppes. Corson's Glass
House. Rooms in Bloom, and
Kennedy's Country Gardens.
Tickets will also be sold at the
South Shore Country Club on the
day of the tour for S25.
The club is proud of its choices
as well as its new addition to the
tour, a boutique at the South
Shore Country Club open to non-
ticket holders and interested shop-
pers as well as garden devotees.
The owner of the marvelous
hilltop garden on the tour has
been heard to say: "By its very
nature, a garden is never done.
My husband and I have been re-
designing and re-planting our
beds for the past six years, fol-
lowing as my husband refers to
it. the royal we' school of gar-
dening - I plan, he plants."
Another unusual water view
greets garden tour visitors from
the harmoniously created garden
that overlooks 55 acres of tidal
marshes known as Home
Meadows. Originally designed
for a wedding in 1992. this spec-
tacular site sports a wide variety
of elevations, rocky outcrops and
lovely dry walls as a foundation
around w hich the present owners
have created manicured perenni-
al gardens. Difficult areas often
were changed and modified until
the perfect solution was
achieved. Wooden structures
provide 'bones.' around which a
variety of plants are thriving in
their own particular environ-
ments. Visitors will soon discov-
er that in this garden, there can be
found a perfect spot for every
kind of retreat.
Moving on to formal gardens,
originally designed in 1907 by
British landscape architect J.
Herbert Kellaway. one should
take note that the gardens were
redesigned in 1930 by landscape
architect Elizabeth Leonard
Strong of Leominster. Working
jointly with landscape architect
Paul Ripley of Outdoor Living
Environments, the current own-
ers have recently worked to
return the property to its former
1907 feel. The loggia has been
restored to serve as the vantage
point for both the formal garden
and pool. Cleveland pear trees
have been planted in homage to
the area's Pear Tree Hill moniker
and most other plains and shnibs
are reflective of varieties known
to have been popular in the early
20th century.
The two country casual gar-
dens that till the house with flow-
ers tbr picking and inviting the
butterflies will charm any flower
lover. Both are cleverly divided
into several spaces. Trie first of
two. sunny areas, sporsl tree-
peonies, roses, lilies and hemero-
CaluS. The shade area shelters
rhododendrons, a/alea. hosla and
ferns. A fenced inner garden
enclosing a brick patio is filled
with potted roses and other flow-
ers from an adjacent winter gar-
den green house, and moves on
in through a rose arbor into a
decorative kitchen garden.
And in its turn, the final garden
is a true summer fiesta of color
and extravagant color bursts.
Asiatic lilies, day lilies, coreopsis,
foxglove, globe thistle, sedum.
false dragonhead and monarda
bring out the gathering baskets
for summer bouquets. It's hard to
believe that such a splash of
delights began alter the summer
drought of 1991. Rather than
replant grass, ihe owner started a
garden with a mixture of bulbs
and "pass-along plants" from
friends. Then a former mass of
trees and briars developed into a
shady woodland garden dotted
with bleeding hearts, hosta.
heuchera. pulmonaria and flow
ering shrubs, that are now a tran-
quil respite on a Warm day.

In the Scripture lessons for the
Fifth Sunday after Pentecost,
Jeremiah complains to the Lord.
He is torn between wanting to
give up his mission and his need
to speak in God's name and to
put his trust in him. In the Epistle
to the Romans. Paul contrasts the
consequences of Adam's disobe-
dience and sin with the results of
Jesus' obedience and righteous-
ness. Finally, in the Gospel of
Matthew Jesus warns his disci-
ples of troubles to come, but
offers them assurance of the
Father's care and his own readi-
ness to support them before God
as they speak up for him.

World-famous real estate investor
and author reveals secrets of buying
homes with no money down
Robert Allen's legendary workshop reveals how to change your financial future in 90 days or less
Years ago, when I invented the now world-famous "No Money Down
real estate system, people thought it simply couldn't be done... Buying
real estate without investing a dime of your own money! But, I have
proven it can be done, year after year, in all kinds of housing markets. Perhaps
you've seen me on TV — or perhaps you've read one of my best-selling books.
I've shown tens of thousands that just about anyone can make a fortune in
real estate. But I have to tell you, in all my years of showing people how to
create wealth through real estate, I believe it's never been as easy as it is
today. Plus, I believe you can make more money now in real estate than ever
before. And you can do it quicker.
With low interest rates and soaring appreciation, now is the time that you
could become my next real estate millionaire — perhaps even a multimillionaire.
Even if you're stone cold broke right now, you can still become richer than
most Americans will ever be. The profit floodgates have truly opened for so
many of my students. I believe you too can take advantage of all the lasting
wealth that real estate can provide. And I'd like to tell you how in my updated
workshop, Creating Wealth with Real Estate.
Challenge #7; Find fast wealth in
any city, town, or neighborhood
i wallet. Give
When I first developed my revolutionary system for buying
real estate, I very publicly challenged the media to... "Send
me to any city in America. Take away my wallet. Give
nia $100 for living expenses. In 72 hours,
I'll buy an excellent piece of property,
using none of my own money." Keep in
mind, I would have no cash to invest. No
connections. No firsthand knowledge of the real estate
market where I was going. But I would have my new system
for buying real estate. And that meant none of the above
mattered.
I didn't buy just one property. I bought four!
The Los Angeles Times took me up on my gutsy challenge.
In just 57 hours. I had taken title to not one, but to four
properties — adding 1722.000 in assets to my real estate
portfolio. That's the equivalent of more than $10,000
ST. LOUIS
Challenge #2; Take someone from
unemployed to over $100,000 in equity
No better example of "ANYBODY CAN DO THIS" exists than
when I made another major public challenge. As you might
be able to guess, I'm not shy about telling others how
my system works So I declared. . . "Send me
to any unemployment line in America. Let
me select someone that is bjjjke, out of
work, and discouraged. In two days time.
I'll teach my strategies for Creating Wealth. In 90 days, that
person will be back on his/her feet with $S,000 in the bank."
It was in St. Louis. Missouri, where I pulled a couple out of the
unemployment line and placed them on the path to wealth. Within
90 days, these first-timers earned more than $5,000 in sash. But
that was just the beginning... Within the next 12 months, they
garnered more than $100,000. It changed their lives forever.
Think of how an extra $100,000 or more could change your life
and improve your family-} future- What dreams have you put
aside that $100,000 could reawaken?
) others how
Challenge #3; Prove anyone can do it
I've become famous as America's leading expert on
purchasing real estate with no money down. I've been
interviewed in newspaper, and on radio and TV. In fact, Regis
Philbin challenged me on the spot to prove my
system worked for anyone. I selected a
young woman right out of Regis' studio
audience and guided this first-timer to
earning more than $20,000 in 90 days. And
now, I'd like to pull you out of your chair and invite you to
discover why my powerful and internationally acclaimed
Creating Wealth with Real Estate program has been so hugely
rewarding for people across the country — and why it can also
be your path to substantial wealth.

Your turn to
Can you become a millionaire? Dozens of my students have. At
the FREE preview of my workshop, you'll see real-life examples of
how my powerful wealth creation strategies have helped people
jump into
Challenge #4; Make you my next millionaire! STARTS NOW
I've proved time and again that my system can work
just about anywhere, anytime, and for just about
anyone — even people who are flat broke. Now, I'd
like to prove it can work for you.
In fact, mv big mouth could make you a millionaire.
That's because I've challenged myself to create
millionaires all across America. Yup, I went right for
the "M" word: millionaire. Raised a few eyebrows
with that one. But remember, you don't need money
in the bank to buy real estate. You don't even need
good credit. All you need is my Creating Wealth with
Real Estate system and the personal gumption to go
out and apply it.
"Right now, I have a positive cash flow of S2.800 on one
property."
— Richard Douglas, New Jersey
"We didnt take anything out of our pocket and we bought a
$250,000 property that gives us a S900 monthly cash fhw. '
-Guy Burns. Nevada
"I bought two pieces of property and made $25,000 in 90
days. It's so easy to do this stuff, it's amazing. "
-Gary Harris. Missouri
Now it's your turn to take a
step toward real wealth
The wealth is out there. I will show you how it's
possible to find it and grab it. Take a life-changing
step toward financial independence for yourself and
your family today. The road (it's more of a
superhighway actually) to millionaire status begins
right here. Right now, my goal is to create
millionaires all across the country. And I'd like to
count you among them. There's no telling when my
FREE workshop will be back in your area, because
it's simply impossible for me to bring my famous

Summer's the time
for family adventures
By FELICITY LONG
SPECIAL TO THE HERALD
Lefs see. You've got the kids' summer
camp schedule nailed down, your
spouse's vacation time approved and a
trashy vacation novel burning a hole in your suit-
case. The next question: where to take the kids
for your annual summer vacation?
If you're putting off the decision, you may want to
think again. Vacationers are expected to clog the
roads and airways this summer — despite high gas
prices, the weak dollar, et al. The Travel Industry
Association and AAA recently predicted that some
328 million of as will travel for vacation this sum-
mer. Those who wait for last-minute bargains might
find themselves scrambling.
Check out the following destinations. Whatever
you choose, have fun and relax knowing the kids
will have something to write about the first day back
at school.
Orlando, Fla.
Sure, it's hot, but bring extra sunscreen and hit the
theme parks and attractions early or late in the day
— saving the noonday sun for the hotel pool and
water parks. Don't miss the new Fear Factor Live
attraction at Universal Orlando — bugs for lunch,
anyone? — the new Blue Horizons dolphin show at
SeaWorld, the summer Twilight Discovery evening
program at Discovery Cove and, of course. Stitch's
Great Escape and the Cinderellabration Castle show
at Walt Disney World in honor of Disneyland
Resort's 50th anniversary.
St. Petersburg, Fla.
Enjoy the flip side of Florida at the farnily-friend-
ly beaches of St Pete. Fort De Soto Park was named
the Best Beach in America in 2005, according to Dr.
Beach (coastal geologist Dr. Stephen Leatherman),
so designated for its seven miles of powdery sand
and year-round sun. Best of all, active families can
fish, walk nature trails and even explore old ruins
nearby. On a rainy day, head to Great Explorations,
a children's museum on Fourth Street that includes
plenty of interactive fun.
Southern California
With bargain basement air prices (on the low-cost
carriers) to Los Angeles, beach lovers don't have to
stick to the Atlantic Ocean anymore. Spend time in
San Diego getting up-close-and-personal with the
wildlife at the famed San Diego Zoo. Mingle with
the beautiful people on Santa Monica beach. Learn
to surf. Take a jaunt to the theme parks, including
Disneyland and Disney's California Adventure Park.
Are we there yet?
9
Guests at SeaWorld interact with an Atlantic bottlenose dolphin at Discovery Cove in Orlando.
And don't forget Universal Studios Hollywood.
Legoland and Knott's Berry Farm, home of the
bone-rattling Ghostrider wood coaster.
New England amusement parks
You don't have to travel far to find summer fun al
amusement parks, particularly here in New England,
where smaller — and less expensive — options
abound. Try Quassy Amusement Part; in
Middlebury, Conn., where you can enjoy the
Monster-Mad Mouth steel coasters or get soaked at
the Saturation Station Family Water Play Area; Old
Orchard Beach. Maine, for a nostalgic trip to the
Palace Playland amusement park; and perennial
favorite Story Land in Glen, N.H.. with its Polar
Coaster and Dr. Geyser's Remarkable Raft Ride.
Tennessee and DoUywood
Pay homage to Tennessee's favorite daughter at
the Dollywood theme park, named of course, for
local icon Dolly Parton, and check out the beautiful
Great Smoky Mountains scenery while you're at it.
Then immerse yourself in music at the Smithsonian
Institution's Rock 'n Soul Museum in Memphis,
which highlights everything from blues and Elvis to
soul music of the '60s and 70s, or the Country Music
Hall of Fame in Nashville.
Hit the slopes
Need a break from all that heat? Head for the hills
and enjoy the summer amenities at your favorite ski
resort Many now offer water and alpine slides,
horseback riding, lift-assisted mountain biking and
even gondola rides for scenic views. Golf courses at
major ski resorts allow Mom and Dad to grab some
ambience, has undergone a major transformation
with regard to family travel. No longer are guests
required to dress for dinner at many resorts, and
youngsters are welcome where they once were
given the cold shoulder. Explore the famous pink
beaches on the South Shore; walk sections of the
Bermuda Railway Trail, lush with vegetation and'
great views; take in the North Rock Exhibit at the'
Bermuda Aquarium, Museum & Zoo; try a simulat-
ed dive at the Bermuda Underwater Exploration
Institute, and I earn once and for all the difference
between stalactites and stalagmites at the eerie
Crystal Caves.
Cruisin'
From the Caribbean and Mexico to Alaska,
Hawaii and even Europe, today's cruise lines offer a
great way for families to sample multiple destina-
tions. Best of all, most offer outstanding children's
and teens' clubs for no extra charge. Although they
can be pricey, cruise line shore excursions feature;
some of the best activity-based experiences in the
business. Swim with stingrays in Grand Cayrruuv
ride a zip line through the jungle in Maui or give i
dolphin a smooch in the Bahamas.
time on their own or give junior his or her first
lessons in the sport. Best of all. some of the most fun
summer ski areas are an easy drive away — includ-
ing Smugglers' Notch in Vermont and Attitash in
Bartlett N.H.
Hershey, Pa.
They don't call it die "Sweetest Place on Earth" for
nothing, especially for the chocoholics among us.
You can learn how chocolate is made at Hershey's
Chocolate World (be sure to stay for Hershey's
Really Big 3-D show), sample the 60-plus rides and
attractions at Hershey Park or meet the new prairie
dog puppies at ZooAmerica. Or try the ultimate
indulgence — chocolate spa treatments at the Hotel
Hershey Spa
Hawaii
Yes. we know the Caribbean is closer, but with its
cooling trade winds, iconic cultural attractions and
world-famous beaches. Hawaii is worth the extra
flight time. Hit the evening dance show and luau at
the Polynesian Cultural Center on Oahu, learn to
surf at the Hans Hedemann Surf School (various
locations), live the history of Pearl Harbor or swim
with wild dolphins. On Maui, visit the Haleakala
Crater or take in the living reef wall at the Maui
Ocean Center. On the Big Island, try rafting along
flooded irrigation ditches in old sugar cane planta-
tions or visit Volcanoes National Park. On Kauai,
kayak the river where "Raiders of the Lost Ark" was
filmed.

Village
housing
12 units planned
in new structure
By Samantha Brown
SAMBROWN*CNC COM
Downtown Cohasset is going
through a lime of revitaJization.
Business owners have banded
together to offer special events
and draw people into the village,
and a streetscape project is
planned, which will help bring
aesthetic improvement to the
area.
But by this time next year,
developer Wayne Sawchuk
hopes to add another element to
enhance the village — 12 new
units of senior housing.
Sawchuk and his business
partner Robert Fesler of
Dresden. Maine, have plans to
upgrade the Samuel Bates
House, also known as the *' 1 8 1 1
building" which houses busi-
nesses located at 35 to 39 South
Main St.. including Bia Bistro.
Currently, the building has two
apartments on the upper level,
which Sawchuk said will
remain the same. Business ten-
ants in the lower levels will also
keep their spaces.
Due to the building's long his-
tory in town, which Sawchuk

Teachers promised payment
for professional development
oy samanina Brown
SAMBROWWC NC.COM
A promise made by former Supt
Edward Malvey lo reimburse
teachers for professional develop-
ment courses is causing waves for
the school budget. While the
school committee is trying to bal-
ance the yet-to-be-approved fiscal
2006 budget — problems are still
arising Irom fiscal 2(XM and fiscal
2005, which ended last July.
Supt. of Schmls Denise Walsh
announced Thursday (June 16)
thai the Beted department has
roughly $I68.(XX) to make up in
salaries for fiscal 200S, which
relates directly back to Malvey.
She said when she came on
board in July 2IKW. there were a
number of agreements w hich were
"sitting on my desk" and some of
them dated back to the previous
September. Some of the money
owed to teachers goes hack to fis-
cal 2(XM, but would be paid
■vtrouclively from the fiscal 21X15
budget. "We have an obligation."
to reimburse the teachers, she said.
School committee v ice chairman
Alfred SlaneD said it is his under-
standing Malvey verbally agreed
to allow certain courses to count
toward professional development
points (PI)Ps) for teachers, but the
courses did not completely mesh
with the guidelines outlined in the
teachers' contract.
Slanet/ said Malvey made a
promise to roughly 15 teachers
thai certain courses would count
toward iheir PDPs, but he never
budgeted eilher lor tuition reim-
bursement for the classes or for the
increase in salaries the extra PDPs
would warrant.
"She's doing her best to honor
her predecessor's verbal commit-
ment," said Slanetz of Walsh,
adding she (old the committee she
is optimistic (here will be enough
money within the fiscal 2005 bud-
gel to cover the additional costs.
Town Meetings have appropriated
$93,000 for utilities. $65,000 for
unemployment and an additional
$200,000 for any other unforeseen
costs which may arise from fiscal
2005.

However. Slanetz said there are
also some costs related to longevi-
ty pay (hat surfaced from fiscal
2(XI5 which will also have to he
paid for. After 1 5 years of service,
teachers may opt to lake a longevi-
ty buyout of $3,000 per year for
three consecutive years. The fiscal
2005 budget will need to pay
between S9.IXX) to $12,000 in
longevity pay for three or four
employees who are planning to
retire.
Interim business manager Joe
McDonald told ihe school com-
mittee while roughly $9.2 million
was budgeied for salaries in fiscal
05 — which will end June 30 —
w ith (he tuition charges and col-
umn changes taking effect in fiscal
2005, Ihe Khdol department has
already paid out $9.368.(XX).
"You're out of balance." said
McDonald, adding in fiscal 2004.
|be school department spent
almost $9.1 million on salaries.
The school committee has been
working on Ihe fiscal 2(XXi budget
Since October, and Walsh said in
November that $70,000 in tuition
reimbursement had not been bud-
geted in fiscal 2(X)5 and $55,000
had not been budgeted for column
changes for that same year.
Last Thursday's meeting, which
was called lo have an emergency
discussion on the fiscal 2006 bud-
get, was the first time members of
the school committee were
informed those combined line
items were actually higher than
thought
According to the collective bar-
gaining agreement between (he
school committee and the
Cohavset Teachers' Association for
2002-2005, teachers arc eligible to
receive tuition payments in an
.inuiuni equal (o (he average per
credit cost for courses charged by
the University of Massachusetts
up lo a limil of two courses or six
credits per contract year. In order
to receive reimbursement for a
course, a teacher must apply for
and receive approval for the course
before April 15 of lhal year.
Courses applied for alter April 15
may be credited for the next fiscal
year
The teachers, who are owed
reimbursement for Iheir courses,
will receive payment retroactively.
Walsh said all teachers should be
squared away by June 30. which is
the end of fiscal 2005.
However, moving forward, (he
salary line item will be affected for
fiscal 2(X)6. as (he column changes
from (he classes will make teach-
ers eligible for raises this year.
Slanetz noted, however, contracts
have not yet been negotiated, rais-
es and column changes have not
been factored in. and there is no
way to predict what the impact
will be on the budget
Slanetz says more fees could
generate money for schools

Coming up with the money
necessary to balance the school
budget is no easy task, but some
members of the school commit-
tee believe the superintendent's
recommendation to cut teaching
positions to make up a $285,000
deficit is not the only solution.
Some members of (he school
committee would like to raise
$180,000 to save four leaching
positions that were slated to be
eilher cut or eliminated from (his
year's budget.
Two elementary-level teach-
ing positions which had been
funded by public fund-raising
last year will not be included in
Ihe budget this year. Also, two
leaching positions which were
going to be added — a high
school English teacher and a
grade one teacher — have been
eliminated as of right now.
However, some members
believe with some creativity,
those positions can be saved.
In addition, school committee
vice chairman Alfred Slanetz
said he would like lo see an
addilional $45,000 raised to
include an additional math
teaching position in the budget
which was proposed at the out-
set of budget discussions, bu(
subsequently removed.

Forest Avenue stop sign slated
Tlic three-way slop al the Inter-
■ section ol Jerusalem Road and
Forest Avenue is troubling some
Residents. Selectman Ralph
pormitzer said he has received
Chone calls from those who
ilieve ihe intersection is con-
_ fusing for people unfamiliar w ith
Ihe atea The intersection previ-
• pusly only had tw o slop signs for
! those driving on Jerusalem

' added al Ihe bottom of the hill on
Forest Avenue, making il a four-
way stop.
Police Chief Jim Hussey said
he has been studying the inter-
section and agrees it is awkward.
"The area is primed for a four-
Way slop." he said. Hussey said
while residents have told him
people go loo fast down the hill
and a stop sign there would
cause problems, he feels Ihe area
would he much safer with a stop
sign. He also recommended
eilher the blinking yellow light
be changed to a blinking red
lighl lo warn residents the stop
sign is coming up or installing
in a "slop ahead" sign al Ihe lop
of the hill.
Selectman Gary Vanderweil.
who lives close lo the intersec-
tion, agreed With Hussey.
"I haven't been woken up w ith
people crashing on the beach in a
long time." he said, adding he
hoped with the addition of ihe
slop sign lhal would never hap-
pen again.
Selectman Michael Sullivan
also backed the proposal. "It'll
take a little while for people lo
gel used to. bul it's a good idea. "
he said.
Hussey said he will write up a
formal recommendation to
Town Manager Bill Griffin to
install the stop sign.

Selectmen are looking for resi-

fields. It also passes by in the
"blink of an eye." they said.
Maria Campedelli, a fourth-
grader, asked if trains could
carry "big things like ele-
phants."
Trowbridge answered a train
car could carry 10 elephants
with no problem.
The children also learned
that the train tracks and rail
bed are private property and
walking or playing there
would be trespassing, which
was a new word for most of
the students.
Bui the majority of the pro-
gram focuses on safety issues
and how to cross at grade
crossings, whether on foot or
bicycle.
Trowbridge also explained
that in many movies, actors
are seen climbing on trains,
jumping on trains and racing
trains with their cars. He
stressed these are scenes are
fictitious.
"Movies aren't real," he
said. "People do things in
movies that they don't do in

RICHARD SCHMIDT IS
A 'SUPER DAD'
This year Richard Schmidt
received a truly super gift for
father's Day: recognition for
being among an elite group of
special dads.
Richard's daughter. 13-year
old Emilie. nominated her father
for the Fathering
Project/Medical Foundation's
eighth annual "Dads Make a
Difference: a Celebration of
Fathering" award.
Here's what Emilie said about
her dad:
"My Dad is a super-Dad for a
lot <>f the usual reasons, but for
main, many more mil- so- usual
reasons. Forms/unit: my Dad
read me my first book when I
was a baby, and nun thai I'm a
teenager, he still helps me with
my homework and studying for
tests, especially science and
algebra, not so unusual.
"On the fun side, my Dad
taught me how to fish, play ten-
nis, ride a two-wheeler. He takes
me la fun places like zoos.
Florida, and the beach. He
swims with me. plays canls and
board names. He also taught me
how to ski and ice skate.
"He listens when I haw a
problem, takes me to religious
education classes on Sundays,
and teaches me a little bit about
many things like astronomy and
hints. He never misses one of
my band com ens. and he's awe-
some making pancakes on week-
end mornings too.
"In the not-so-usual category,
ever since my Mom was in a car
crash. my Dadhas gladly taken
over driving the carpool I take
in school i which is 25 miles
away). My Dad does the vacu-
uming, cleaning, laundry, so
many of the chores my Mom
used lo be able to do. and I help
all I can. He does all this, and
still keeps his full-time job.
Sometimes he vets tired, but he's
always up the next day ready to
go again.
"(May30) I watched him
march in the Memorial Day
parade with the other veterans.
He looks so handsome in his
uniform from the Vietnam War.
You see. even though my Dad
does so mm h for me. he \ nol a
young guy. He'll be fill this year
and there isn i a better Dad any-
where. "
Emilie 's Mom. Susan, could-
i
Emilie Schmidt. 13. with her dad. Richard.
n't agree more. "I don't think
there's any guy more deserving
than he is." Susan Schmidt said.
Emilie 's tribute caught the eye
of "Dads Make a Difference" and
Richard was one of 1 30 inspiring
fathers that received the Super
Dads Award on Father's Day.

survivor each year. This year the
team was called ""Celebrating
Eleanor" after Eleanor Perry, a
principal in the Boston Public
Schools. Another member of the
team. Jean Rooney, works with
Perry. The eight-member
"Celebrating Eleanor'" team
raised an estimated $4,500.
For Dave Hardy, who has par-
ticipated every year at the
Cohassct Relay, the event contin-
ues to be as compelling as ever "I
get teary every time I do this." he
says.
Hardy's wile Jeanne describes
the survivors' lap and luminaria as
"two touching and wonderful cer-
emonies."
Jeanne Hardy said the number
of survivors and names on the
luminaries lining the track send an
important message.
""Way UK) many people have
cancer." she says. ""It's important
that we keep raising funds to find
a cure.
'"Hopefully that will happen in
our lifetime."
Michael Shea holds the memo-
ry of his father close to his heart
and how cancer shortened what
could have been the best years of
his father's life.
"He raised seven kids, put them
through college and then retired,"
said Shea adding six months later
his father passed away from can-
cer.
Connie Zanoni of Scituate. who
served as registration chairman,
says she lost her brother to lung
cancer. She received a card from
one of the Relay organizers,
whom she knew, with condo-
lences and a request for help.
She's been helping ever since.
Her husband, John, has joined the
volunteers.
"He found he had to. to keep
peace in the family." Zanoni said
with a smile.
St. Onge, the chairman and a
Cohasset resident, has agreed to
take the helm of the Relay again
next year. Planning starts each
January.
St. Onge, a cancer survivor, said
the history of the Relay is an
inspiration.
"The Relay was one person's
idea," he explains. "That was 20
years ago. Now there are more
than 4.500 Relays and over 3 mil-
lion people involved."
In May I9N5. Dr. Cordon Klalt
look the first step of his 24-hour
walk/jog/run around a Tacoma,
Wash. Tratk and raised $27,000
to support the American Cancer
Society. In Massachusetts alone
$9.2 million was raised in Relay

2004. $306 million was raised
nationwide. For more informa-

•June 26. from noon until 4 p.m.,
•children of all ages will be invit-
5ed to explore the insides of more
•than 20 different kinds of equin-

event.
In addition, the CHIP idenlifica-

almost every kind of vehicle will
be on display behind the Cohasset
Family Health Center, 223 Chief

for children. Admission to the
Touch-A-Truck is $5 for children
and all proceeds will go toward
the Call Firelighter's Scholarship
Fund. This year, two scholarships
were given to graduating high
school seniors, in the amount of
$500 each.
"The kids love them," said
Jack MacNeill. president of the
Call Firelighters, adding every
year there are new vehicles for
children to check out. He said
because the Call Firelighters
have been hosting the event for
the past four years, they have
come to make some great con-
tacts, and people have been very
happy to lend their equipment lor
the day. This year, there will be
mure than 20 different pieces of
equipment on display.
Because many children attend
the Touch-A-Truck event, it is
the perfect venue to showcase

Freemasons of Massachusetts.
MacNeill is also Master of the
Konohassett Lodge of Masons,
and for the past year he has been
working to combine the two
events.
MacNeill said the CHIP pro-
gram gathers valuable informa-
tion and gives it to parents to
have in case of an emergency.
The Cohasset Police Department
will be taking fingerprints and a
local pediatric dentist will make
dental impressions. Both teeth
prints and fingerprints are unique
to every individual and can be
very helpful for identification.
In addition, the dentist will be
taking DNA swabs. MacNeill
said the CHIP program teaches
children about the importance of
doing whatever it takes to get
away if being abducted, includ-
ing spitting as much as they can.
DNA in the saliva can be traced
and can be very helpful in an
investigation.
"The DNA swab is good for 20
years." said MacNeill.
There will also he older chil-
dren on hand to interview young-
sters on video to capture their
actions, facial expressions, and
other mannerisms that set them
apart and could help to identify
them if they were missing.
MacNeill said. The video is
short and could he distributed to
the media to reach a huge audi-
ence.
"But we hope it never comes to
that" he said.
MacNeill said over the last
three years, the Masons have
spent V500.01X) to be able to pro-
vide the service free of charge lo
parents, and information on more
than 220.000 children has been

Friday is
Mariner Day
Here at ihe Cohasset Mariner we've been publishing en Fridays
since October 2(XM. As we explained at die time, the move Emm our
traditional Thursday was necessitated by the reorganization in press
schedules at Communit) Newspaper Company, which the Mariner is
nan of.
C 'ohassei. ha\ insj a relatively small press run because of Ihe size
Of the community, was moved intoanothei umeslot,
We siill hear the occasional coniplainl about our "new" day.
Change is hard, especially after 26 scars of arriving in your mail-
boxes and at the newsstands every Thursday.
While we continue to do our utmost to make the Cohassei
Manner the best it can be - our press da) is unlikely to Change
back.
With that being said, the fact school committee meetings occur
on Thursda\ nights can cause some contusion with our coverage.
It's important to point out that this would he the case regardless
of whether we were a Thursday or Fnday paper.
Because we go to press on Thursday - that night's scIkx>i com-
mittee coverage - appears in the following week's paper. In other
words, the paper is already printed and ready to he transponed to
the post office lor Friday deliver) before the school committee
meets on a Thursday night.
This means the coverage in today paper relates to last
Thursday's (June 13) school budget meeting. Last night's meet-
ing coverage w ill appear in next Friday 's paper.
When we were a Thursday paper, we went to press on
Wednesday - so that Thursday \ school committee coverage still
appeared the following week.
Confused? If you are, you're not alone. But shon of becoming a
daily paper there are always these- "coverage situations" with
weeklies.
Nevertheless, we vv ill continue to endeavor to prov ide analy sis
and in-depth coverage of issues even if we cannot have the "lat-
est" news in the paper because it OCCUR the night before the
Manner arrives in the mail. Although a week later, our school
committee stories arc the most thorough as possible.
Selectmen have traditionally met on Monday or Tuesday - so
we could always count on coverage of their latest meeting in that
week's issue.
We've covered the school committee faithfully for years. But
only recent!) has the school hoard - with what has become a
budgetary nightmare - become so controversial that some readers
are looking lor that Thursday night s meeting coverage in that
Friday's .Mariner.
While there are some things we can't do - we promise to pro-
vide you with the most total, comprehensive coverage possible.
We also stay w ith issues week in and week out until they are
resolved.
Fabulous festival
There is nothing so spectacular as the Arts Festival on the
Common. We Ux>k forward to it every year. With the weather
cooperating so beautifully, there was no place we'd rather have
been than on the common getting our till ot an and music, shop-
ping, shortcake and lobster rolls.
We are so grateful to be pan of a community that can host such
a wonderful event in a pristine setting lor people of all ages.
Cohassei put out the welcome mat this weekend - and anyone
from out of tow n who paid us a visit - didn't leave without a
sense of envy of those who have the privilege of living in such a
beautiful place that treasures its cultural side.
Did you know...
At a recent auction in Essex, a painting titled 'Cohassei Salt
Works." by Winckwonh Gay (1821-1910), a Hingham painter
and descendent of Rev. F.bene/er Gay. was sold.
The Salt Works w as located at Sandy Beach, and consisted
of a small windmill that pumped salt" water through hollow
wooden pipes to vats where it would evaporate, and the salt
residue would be scraped away and eventually sold. The sea
captains were good customers, as they would use the salt for
preserving their tish. The great Lighthouse Gale of 1851
washed the works out to sea. and ihe only remaining piece of
Ihe Salt Works is part of a hollow w.xxJen pipe that is on dis-
play al ihe Maritime Museum
li is interesting to note thai the Cohassei Historical Society
owns a Winckwonh Gay painting. It is a land-seascape look-
ing northwest from KimbaH's Point with Hull peninsula and
Boston Harbor in Ihe background. It is on display at the Pratt
Building The painting was donated to the Society by
Georgianna Thayer of Cohassei.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Praise for Supt. Walsh
on school budget
To THk Editor:
I am writing as a concerned parent.
Thursday evening (June 16) I attended the
sehixil committee meeting to listen to discus-
sion regarding the cuts required as a result of
the defeat of the ov erride.
First. I would like to commend Dr. Walsh
tor her perseverance and professionalism, li
seems some people forget thai this is her first
year as superintendent in Cohassei. She came
to Cohassei and inherited a very difficult
financial situation. As a member of the
Osgood School Council. I have been privy to
the constant budget process over many
months. It is my opinion that she is doing
everything in her power to ensure that in a
time when resources are scarce, our schools
are operating in a fiscally responsible manner
without sacrificing the learning experiences
for our children. She does not deserve the
hostility that I observed.
With that said. I listened to the recom-
mended alternative cuis suggested to ensure
that four teaching positions are maintained.
Given thai the budget has already been cut
and it was down to the bare bones. I was
interested to see where Ihe cuts would come
next. I was astonished to hear that the alter-
native cuts included: a large portion of pro-
fessional development funding for the teach-
ers: baseline testing for grades K-2; accredi-
tation associations: and miscellaneous other
items.
These cuts will also have detrimental
effects on the quality of education provided
to our children. After much discussion about
cuts and potential cost savings, Joe
McDonald, the school business manager,
pointed out lhai we are already under funded
approximately SI68K for the salaries for fis-
cal 2006. As a parent of a second grader next
year. I wish we could squeeze blood from a
stone. It seems implausible that we will find
the funds to save the four positions this year
and make up the shortfall in the budget that
already exists.
The Concerned Taxpayers of Cohassei are
determined to find excess in the budget.
Perhaps eliminating cell phones for certain
administrative personnel and monitoring
electrical use are appropriate saving measures
in this fiscal climate. However, such savings
do not alone solve the immediate problem.
Those critical of the school budget fail to
recogni/e that slate aid to wealthier towns in
Massachusetts. Cohassei included, has been
cut consistently in the last 12 years. It was
refreshing to hear the possibility that the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts may come
to our rescue in future years.
In referring to an article printed in the
Boston Sunday Globe (6/12). Dr. Walsh pro-
vided information regarding Chapter 70
which provides funding for educational aid.
The legislature is considering increasing state
aid from 10 percent to I5percent for the edu-
cation budgets of every city and town. This
would help the 63 wealthiest communities
thai have been hit hardest by the reduction in
educational state aid over the years. The final
decision will not be made until the fall, but il
could mean approximately S600K in addi-
tional state aid for the school budget in the
future.
We as a community need to step to the plate
immediately, and contact our local state rep-
resentatives and the governor to ensure thai
this increase passes. This is an opportunity
for parents of students who either did not
support the override or did not take the lime
to vote, to write a letter and lobby to ensure
their children receive the benefits of addi-
tional state aid and the academic excellence
they deserve.
Unfortunately, this year the Cohasset
school budget will not provide everything we
would like for our children. However, mov-
ing forward we need to make sure this hap-
pens. Additional funding from the state and
more parental involvement to understand the
budgeting process will ensure we achieve our
goals.

Coach Kevin DeVrto praised
as the 'best & brightest'
To THE Editor:
The phrase "best & brightest" is one that's
thrown around far Kx> frequently in towns like
Cohasset and Hull but vivid proof was wit-
nessed each day this spring with the Cohasset
High Sch(K)ls boys' lacrosse team.
In early March, with the 2005 lacrosse season
just on the horizon and a glaring need for anoth-
er coach, a familiar name to long-time CHS
sports fans was forwarded to me for considera-
tion. Kevin DeVito. He was a recent star on
many teams at CHS and Lafayette College. Our
high school boys' program of 33 players
requires a daily focus on skills development tor
the varied positions that are played in the sport
of lacrosse. The need for added quality coach-
ing was a must for this group of athletes to get
to compete in the Stale Championship Tourney
again in 2005.
What we also got in this Kevin DeVito bar-
gain was daily view of young man with a strong
sense ol community and giving back to the
town of Cohasset. The open position was for
that "highly sought-after, unpaid volunteer
coaching" slot with all the glitter and accolades'
thai come from thai role.
Just like many volunteers before Kevin, sports
and coaching involvement tend to bring out the
best in our young men or women. Each day.
Kevin tirelessly took time out of his workday to
attend to the development of our 2005 boys'
lacrosse program and players. These high school
players also got a daily dose of what's right
about sports: giving back to the community.
I have no doubt that Kevin's role was one of
the big reasons that Ihe very smallest squad in
the Division 3 toumey could rise to play in the
Slate Championship game last week. While we
fell short in the championship game, the lesson
taught by Kevin each day, is that our student
athletes can always show a strong sense of com-
munity involvement and it's the best we can
hope for from our public education system, i
Kevin DeVito exemplified "the best & bright
est" to our 2005 boys lacrosse team. As thai
boys' head coach, I also learned a lot about win**
ning from our 2005 team and Kevin DeVito. i
Many thanks to Kevin DeVito and to his fam*.

COMMENTARY
Uxtia FUbotti-:
] Anyone who attended or watched on TV the
rpcent school committee meeting this past Thursday
(jlune 1 6) has to be very concerned about the behav-
ior, conduct and leadership abilities of the current
School Committee Chairperson. Ms. Jamie
Williams. During this meeting. Ms. Williams treat-
ed the Superintendent. Dr. Walsh with such disdain,
the meeting room was overcome by an awkward
silence.
j She then went on to cut short in a rude and disre-
spectful manner my attempt to voice my concerns
with the direction of the meeting. And finally Ms.
Williams, showing her absolute disdain for dissent,
tried her best to silence a sitting member of the
school committee. Rick Flynn when he voiced con-
cerns over the direction of the meeting.
! 1 have never witnessed such unprofessional and
tilde behavior at any town meeting during my 15
ylears as a resident of Cohassel. I must add that
rjased on the numerous e-mails, phone calls, and
domments I received over the past few days, many
dther town residents share the same opinion.
; What I found equally troubling was the focus of
the meeting established and enforced by Ms.
Williams. I sat and listened to a number of sugges-
tions being bantered about focusing on savings and
possible revenue enhancements that have already
hecn looked at. The problem with these suggestions
ij. that the town reviewed the school budget line by
l|ne, a process that encompassed four plus months
ijf meetings, joint review with other town boards
and consumed hundreds of man hours.
At the joint meeting between the school, advisory
and board of selectmen, there was a consensus that
a $400,000 town/school override was necessary and
its failure would result in a loss of teacher positions.
Ms. Williams was in attendance at this meeting and
I assume she was in complete agreement with this
conclusion since she did not voice opposition or
comments contrary to the accepted conclusion.
The credibility of the schools,
the budget process and the call
for the failed override are now
being put in jeopardy by this
approach and we need to put an
Now wc sit in the aftermath of an override defeat
and we start to revisit cell phone bills, charging stu-
dents for parking and bus service? A very open (to
all), transparent budget process was completed, the
impact of a failed override was spelled out and now
we want to go back on this. The credibility of the
schools, the budget process and the call for the
tailed override are now being put in jeopardy by this
approach and we need to put an end to this now.
That was the point I wanted to make at the school
committee meeting but Ms. Williams suppressed
my comments mid-sentence. I guess I was not on
her personal invite list for this meeting.
It is unfortunate that the town is facing the current
budget crisis that in all Ukelihood will result in
teacher cuts. But what we must do now is look to
navigate through this crisis and work on the issues
involved with our school funding that continually
creates this annual budget crunch. As a member of
the advisory committee stated in the joint meeting
this past spring, if everyone agrees that education is
our community's number one priority, then we
should allocate funds accordingly.
The school committee needs to play an important
role in communicating the issues involved with the
budget. To this end. I hope we all recognize that
there is no fat in the school budget. Sure there might
be a few dollars here and there, but anyone who has
attended the budget meetings can only conclude the
next round of cuts will include teachers in order to
pay our bills. The parents and people who care
about our schools also need to get involved, learn
the fads, attend meetings and most importantly
vote.
The town needs to be confident in its elected offi-
cials and leaders. The School Committee needs a
leader who can work well and effectively with oth-
ers, even those who do not share the same opinions.
We need the different boards of the town to come
together like they did this past spring and start to
work on next year's issues.
Il is unfortunate that in her short tenure as School
Committee Chair, Ms. Williams has demonstrated
an inability to lead the committee, build consensus
and conduct herself in a civil and professional man-
ner. My only hope is that Ms. Williams comes to the
realisation that she is in the public's serv ice and this
includes constituents, fellow committee members,
school officials who may not share her ow n opin-
ions. She needs to be an advocate for the schools
and build bridges, not destroy them, with all mem-
bers of our community.

COMMENTARY
IjiX Jknkins
i How did we get in this school financial crisis and
oan we do anything about it'.'
i Some prior and current school committee mem-
bers abdicated their fiduciary responsibility and
rather than looking out for the students and taxpay-
ers left everything up to the 'paid professionals'.
Budgets were blindly accepted, warrants were
signed - done without questioning the state of the
finances. It is as if you gave your teenager the Debit
Card, didn't monitor the spending then just kept
replenishing the account.
Former Chair Rick Shea stated on numerous occa-
sions that it was not their job to 'micromanage'. But
if it isn't the school committee's, whose is it? They
should be paying attention to items such as:
. • retaining more money in the classroom and less
in discretionary overhead.
' • whether administrators arc controlling the oper-
ation in a cost effective manner.
• if curriculum esp.. at the high school level, is
competitive with similar towns,
if fee programs cover expenses.
• if the buildings are clean and running efficiently.
„ Another reason is the acceptance of overrides as a
way ot life. It is a lot easier to throw trust and
money at ineffectiveness and take the easy way out
— constant overrides. An example of this long time
mindset was the statement at last week's meeting by
former Schix>l Chair. Nancy Sandell. ' the school
should just go for another one.' This attitude negates
the will to constantly do the best for our students and
residents
School Committee member. Rick Flynn appears
to be attempting to carry on this tradition. Rather
than gel to the meat of the problems he defends the
employees who helped cause them while demean-
ing residents who attempt to offer solutions to the
fiscal crisis that brought us to where we are today.
Exactly where is that?
We are still dealing with issues from the '04 bud-
get even after:
■ S4(X)K override
' ' • S200K transfer at the March 2004 ATM to com-
plete Fiscal '04
• $ 9SK given for an unpaid utility bill at the
December 2004 STM
At the very end of last week's meeting, the busi-
ness manager dropped a quiet bomb. Another
$168K has been added to the '06 budget in the
salary column for teachers' tuition reimbursements
and column raises that were not paid during the
Malvey tenure. Is this legal? Why did
Superintendent Walsh wait almost a year to bring
them up? Why wasn't former Chair Rick Shea or
longtime member Rick Flynn on top of this?
The administration is hoping to end '05 in balance
without coming back for more. In addition to cuts
made, the schools have additionally received:
• S>HX)K override
• SI60K given at the December STM for unem-
ployment and utilities
• S200K given at the April 2005 ATM to complete
Fiscal '05
As to '06. there were some very interesting dis-
closures last week regarding this so called bare
bones, transparent, needs based, built from the bot-
tom up budget. Many items parents used to pay for.
e.g.. AP textbooks, student assignment and agenda
notebooks were included. As were articles usually
donated by the PSO.
Also were wish list items e.g. a large $1,800 lam-
inating machine for just Deer Hill. Currently there
are three machines between both schools and the
Osgood principal stated her teachers use their large
laminator everyday like they use a copy machine
and wouldn't like to walk across campus to use one.
We should be looking to purchase class materials
wisely rather than spend the exorbitant supply cost
of lamination materials plus the man hours
involved. This attitude also exhibits the administra-
tor's territorial mindset that precludes them from
sharing within the system or looking toward any
type of cooperative endeavor with other school dis-
tricts.
The Osgood principal noted that she over budget-
ed for first grade glue sticks by S500. S4K in new
testing was another item to go but she failed to men-
tion the extra secretary - she lost a grade and added
secretarial time last year. With the projected
decrease of 35 students in next year's K class should
we be looking for more secretarial hours?
The evening went as expected. Superintendent
Walsh indicating in her mind there are no discre-

Ijonary items in the budget - evenllmw is educa-

portation which she previously deemed illegal, now
she says we are already doing. Principal DeLoren/o
suggested the usual scare tactics ol cutting JV spoils
and not paying NEASC accreditation. Everyone cut
magazine subscriptions, teacher development, etc.
etc.
The reorganization and economy suggestions in
avert laying off teachers, keep money in the class-
room and balance the '06 budget that Chair
Williams and Dr. Slanet/ were hoping for from the
administration never materialized. So they look it
upon themselves to give specific directions regard-
ing non-education impacts in areas such as trans-
portation, cell phones, health insurance, etc.
attempting to get us back on track.
There are solutions that will lake work on the part
of our employees e.g. going on line to discover
those sites offering free professional development
and finding staff with skill sets to enhance more than
one area of our curriculum. It will also cost the par-
ents more money in possible fee increases for lunch
and KEDS to cover all the cost of operation rather
than having that money taken from the classroom.
The town has the huge debt serv ice of S52 million
for the education facilities plus exorbitant utility
bills on these inefficient buildings. Taxpayers can
no longer afford to increase the schtxil budget 6.5
percent (in the range of SI million a year) each and
every year plus soon begin pay ing capital expenses
for upcoming school maintenance and technology
needs and hope the town maintains any hint of
affordability or diversity.
We appear to finally have some school committee
members ready to roll up their sleeves and bring
some fiscal responsibility and accountability and
they deserve our support.

Household sharps need careful disposal
By Steve Bobo
SPECIAL TO THE MARINER
One of the most insidious products of our throw-
away society is •'sharps." Sharps are hypodermic
rmedles. syringes, etc. used in human patient care or
treatment, or in medical, research or industrial labo-
ratories. Also included are other types of broken or
unbroken glassware that were in contact with infec-
tious agents, such as used slides and cover slips, and
Unused hypodermic and suture needles, syringes,
afld scalpel blades. Millions of people use syringes,
rjeedles. and lancets to manage their care at home.
For example, diabetics sometimes use hypodermic
needles for insulin injection. These are called house-
bold sharps.
Household sharps represent a special threat to
^hildren. pets, and workers who handle trash. They
rnust be properly stored and then discarded after use
j protect from illness or injury prevent reuse, pro-
:ct the environment, and keep sharps out of house-
old trash and recycling bins. To dispose of house-
old sharps, you can bring your used sharps to any

special threat to children, pets,
and workers who handle trash.
• Put used sharps (needles, syringes, and lancets)
in a sharps container or a puncture-resistant, plastic
bottle (for example, a bleach or laundry detergent
bottle). Close the screw-on top tightly You may
want to tape it as well. Label the bottle, "Contains
Sharps".
• Keep sharps containers away from children and
pets.
• Put used sharps immediately into your container.
Keep the container closed between uses.
• Bring your container with you when you travel,
and dispose of it at home when you return.
• Never flush sharps down the toilet or drop them
into a storm sewer.
• Never clip, bend, or recap sharps.
• Never put sharps containers out with the recy-
cling. Loose needles, syringes, or lancets should
never be thrown into a recycling bin.
• Don't put sharps in soda cans, milk cartons, glass
bottles, or in any containers that are not puncture
resistant. Coffee cans are not recommended because
the plastic lids come off loo easily and may leak.
Several manufacturers offer products that allow
you to destroy used needles at home. These devices
sever, bum. or melt the needle, rendering it safe for
disposal. Check with your pharmacist or search the
internet using keywords "sharps disposal devices."
The prices of these devices vary according to prod-
uct ty pe and manufacturer.
Sharps are not recyclable!
Do not put the sharps container out with the recy -
clable plastics.
Hav ing disposed of sharps properly, we repeat, we
are a throwaway society. Most of the rest of the
world which has reached a certain level of affluence,
also tends to increase this trash disposal proclivity:
but nowhere as much as in (he United Slates.
A rather remarkable analysis of the w aste disposal
problem appears on the University of Michigan web
page: www.umich.edu/~gs26Vsociety/wasledis-
posal.htm. The author, Luke Bassis stales: "The dis-
posal of garbage in (he world is a problem that con-
tinues 10 grow with (he development of industrial-
ized nations and the gmwth of population. Since the
beginning of time people hav e needed lo find a way
of disposing of their trash.
"In ISth century England and France, carters were
paid by individuals to carry trash and disciird it on
the outskirts of town."
So. what 's changed? Disposal in open pits is men-
tioned in the Bible (Deutemnomy 23:12-14). Since
then we have come a long way and have developed
types of waste that cannot simply be dumped into u
hole. In a future article, we will discuss this real
problem and it's long term implicahons for your
health.

2005. the year
without summer?
Tom Hhssha
A friend of mine name of Ray Bearse
once wrote "A Guide to the Green
Mountain State"' in which he quoted one
of those old Yankee farmers as telling
him: "A Vermont year is nine months of
w inter and three monihs of damn poor
slcddin!""
For a while there lasi week, as I cow-
ered under the blankets ai six o'clock in
the morning and defied the best efforts
of my friends to entice me out into the
4((ish-degree temperatures, I thought
that the old fanner's description had
moved south to annoy me.
But cheer up.
It could be worse.
My memory may be tailing nie but I
don't ever recall a year when I turned
off die furnace on the eve of the sum-
mer solstice (lune 21 at 2:46 in the
morning i and lived to regret it.
Yessiree. Tuesday was (he first day of
summer and my first reaction was.
"How could they tell?" II this is global
warming then why do I have to take a
blow (orch lo the ice in the watering can
so I can teed the begonias '
Bui cheer up. It could he worse
Ray 's old farmer also told him thai
one of his ancestors had survived the
year IS 16 on his Vermont larm which is
impressive for 1X16 is still known in
some quarters as "the year without a
summer" and in others as ''eighteen
hundred and froze to death."
Thai was the year thai snow tell in
Bosion on lune 7 and there was frost all
over New England on July X and the
frost of Aug. 22 was so damaging thai it
caused crop failures and lood shortages
well into the following year.
Il snowed in Montreal on lune 6 and X
and sub-zero temperatures that same
month destroyed crops before they had
a chance lo gel started and frozen
ponds, which might have been a boon to
hockey players, froze wildfowl.
Contemporary reports told of snow on
the lops of the mountains of northern
New England in August. Cold nights
and a light ground frost in mid-luly
wiped out the corn crop and a particu-
larly hard frost in early September took
out the resi of the plantings.
The loss of the harvest of 1816 started
the first great evodus out of
Massachuseds and the rest of New
England as ihe farmers, rendered sud-
denly poor by the crop failure, packed
up and moved west for new starts in
slates like Ohio. Wisconsin and Indiana.
The cause of "the y ear w ithout a sum-
mer" in New England was later found
lo be a volcano named Tambora that
erupted some 12.000 miles away in
what was then the Dutch East Indies the
year before.
The explosion spewed tons of ash and
dusi 2X miles into the air and. caughi up
in Ihe jet stream, darkened the skies
around ihe world for the next y ear and.
indirectly, led to the creation of one of
literature's masterpieces.
Mary Shelley was slaying in a villa in
Switzerland at Ihe lime bul her plans to
return lo town were disrupted by the
stormy weather brought on by Tambora.
So she stayed at Ihe villa instead and
began writing "Frankenstein."

School budget headache is nothing new
New override
try is floated
By Samantha Brown
SAMBROWN9CNC COM
Fur ihe past two years, operat-
ing budget overrides have been
floated for the schools, each of
which would have raised the tax
!e> 5 5400,000 over the 2-1/2 per-
cent increase allowed every year.
While voters passed the figure
tor the fiscal 2005 budget in
April 2004. this spring was a dif-
ferent story.
Bui even though the override
failed, at the June 16 school com-
mittee meeting, the idea was
floated bj former school com-
mittee member Nancy Sandcll 10
n> to hold another special Town
Meeting and a special election,
and try to pass an override once
more,
While the school committee
did not say whether it would con-
sider going for another override
this year, it would be no surprise
to see that happen. Financially,
the school department has been
in a serious situation for the past
two years.
When the override was passed
for the fiscal 2005 budget, plan-
ning had begun in early October
2003. At that time, school com-
mittee members included Pat
Martin, Mark DcGiacomo, Rick
Shea. Rick Flvnn. and Chartis
Tebbetls
The first red flag to present
itseli was an unexpected rise in
utility costs. The actual total cost
for utilities for all three schools
was $259,925 — but the schools
had only budgeted $95,900. This
left a deficit of SI 64.025. due in
large part to the construction
going on at the middle-high
school with utilities used by
workers during extended hours,
with some effect from Deer Hill
construction. In addition, the
increased price in natural gas
coupled with a severe winter
pushed the budget further off its
mark.
The months passed and in
December former Supt. Edward
Malvey and former Business
Manager Ivan Klimko presented
a budget that allowed the schools
to keep all services at the same
level. The proposed budget was
essentially a "wish list" of items
the school would like to have, if
money was no consideration,
which was pared down as the
board established funding priori-
ties.
At that time, the schools would
have needed a budget increase of
13 percent to maintain services.
Howev er, with a decrease in state
aid. the school budget reflected
an increase of 6 percent, which
was not sufficient considering the
bills that were coming in.
Not only were the utility costs
much higher than had been bud-
geted, the line item for substitute
teachers had been underbudget-
ed. by almost $74,000 and the
cost of covering contractual
obligations alone was roughly
$490,000.
In April 2004. Town Meeting
and then the Town Election
passed the $400,000 override for
fiscal 2005. At that time Jamie
Williams and Adrienne
MacCarthy were elected to the
board, bringing some new eyes
to the budgeting process.
Fiscal 2006 budget discussions
began early in the 2004-2005
school year. With a new superin-
tendent on board in Denise
Walsh, a different approach
began — a needs based budget.
Figures were plugged in based on
what she fell were the needs of
the school.
But as fiscal 2006 discussions
were beginning, problems from
fiscal 2003 began surfacing, and
in the first week of November.
Walsh sent a memo to then
Acting Town Manager Michael
Buckley that a number of line
items were underbudgeted for
fiscal 2005 and could be as much
as $500,000.
Some of the problems at that
stage went back to fiscal 2004,
including a $93,000 gas bill
which surfaced as that fiscal year
came to a close, and $65,000
worth of unemployment costs.
Walsh said it would be important
to keep an eye on five areas from
fiscal 2005 as the year went on
including transportation, clean-
ing/custodial services, tuition
reimbursements for professional
staff, special education tuition,
and legal fees.
Voters at the fall Special Town
Meeting were asked to allocate
$93,000 to pay the fiscal 2004
bill, as well as an additional
$93,000 to put into the fiscal
2005 budget for the rest of the
year. Voters were also asked to
allocate $65,000 to cover the fis-
cal 2004 unemployment costs, as
well as an additional $65,000 for
the budget moving forward.
With the town having passed
the $400,0(X) operating budget
override the previous spring, vot-
ers were not happy to hear of the
school's financial situation. One-
resident called for three school
committee members to resign
effective immediately, but voters
ultimately approved the appoint-
ment of a new investigative com-
mittee to determine why the
school department is over bud-
get. Even with that override, the
school committee had needed to
reduce its budget significantly by
cutting teaching and administra-
tive positions, eliminating the
middle school athletic program,
and not giving salary increases
for administrators.
To help make up some of the
costs moving forward, the school
committee began talking about
implementing fees and athletics
were the first to receive an
increase. In addition, the idea to
start up its own preschool and
also expand to full-day kinder-
garten — which would be run on
a fee basis — were thought to be
good revenue generating ideas.
When the Annual Town
Meeting began to roll around,
talk of going for another override
began. The needs based budget
prepared by Walsh had a large
increase in special education
tuitions which led to a roughly
$700,000 gap between what the
school department said it needed
and what the town has said it can
afford.
In addition, further costs had
surfaced from fiscal 2005 and the
town was asked to approve
$100,000 to be put into the
Reserve Fund to cover school
department expenses, such as
utility costs, as well as another
$100,000 to be added to the
school department budget to off-
set any further costs from fiscal
2005.
Cuts were made in the pro-
posed fiscal 2006 budget, includ-
ing the elimination of $40,000 in
maintenance costs. $40,000 in
supplies and materials. $30,000
from the athletic budget, a pro-
posed math teaching position
was cut freeing up $45,000.
$6,000 in texts was cut, along
with $5 1 .000 in support staff. As
a result, the school department
believed it could get by with a
$400,000 override.
While the override passed
muster at Town Meeting in April,
it did not pass at the ballot box
during the Special Election in
May, and the town and schools
have split the difference. The
town's approved budget of $12.6
million, which includes the over-
ride figure, will be amended at a
Special Town Meeting at a dale
to be determined. If the override
had passed, it would have been
the fifth operating budget over-
ride approved since 1999 and the
12th since 1988.
Cutting started before Town Meeting
By Samantha Brown
SAMBROWNeCNC.COM
The town and school depart-
ments have come to a mutual
agreement regarding how best
to divvy up the S400.(XX) over-
ride shortfall. While it may look
as if the schools are paying more
than half the cost, with the cuts
that tiKik place prior to Town
Meeting, both sides are on com-
parable paths.
Town Manager Bill Griffin
and Supt. of Schools Denise
Walsh agreed the school depart-
ment would lake on $285,000 of
the S4(X).(XX) shortfall — leav-
ing SI 15.000 to be made up by
the town. The entire $400,000
would have gone to benefit the
school department had it passed.
"Although we approached it in
very, very different ways, we
came to the same thing." said
Griffin.
Director of Finance Michael
Buckley explained the town is
expecting to receive $70,000
more than originally projected
in local aid reimbursement, and
a $ 1 5.0(H) reduction in the
town's charter school assess-
ment. With those additional
funds, the $400,000 gap has
been reduced to $315,000. With
Ihe schools picking up
$285,000. the town is left to
come up with $30,000, and
Buckley along with Town
Manager Bill Griffin will decide
where to make those cuts.
Buckley said the town cut
roughly $680,000 before its pro-
posed fiscal 2006 budget was
presented to Town Meeting
including:
• $8,(XX) from the Selectmen's
office
• SI. 000 in Town Manager
clerical reductions
• $1,300 in Director of
Finance supplies
• $6,000 from the Board of
Assessors office
$2,300 for
Treasurer/Collector supplies
• $30,000 from the legal bud-
get
• SI 8.000 from the Town
Clerk
• $30,000 from the Town
Planner allocation
• $ 1 7.000 from water purchase
• $135,000 from the police
department (one officer, one
seasonal officer, dog officer
hours, training, capital)
• $191,000 from the fire
department (one paramedic,
capital, and water purchase)
• $2,300 from the harbormas-
ter
• $48,600 from the DPW (one
laborer, highway materials)
• $8,700 from the Board of
Health (agent, nurse hours, sup-
plies)
• $12,000 from the Elder
Affairs office
• $575 from the veterans bud-
get
• $33,000 from the town
library
• $3,400 from pension assess-
ments
• $15,000 from worker's com-
pensation
• $93,000 in health insurance
enrollment reductions
• $21,000 in property insur-
ance for police and fire accident
coverage
The schools had originally
planned to ask for a $640,000
override. However, feeling
$400,000 would be more
acceptable for taxpayers, they
made the following cuts to get to
the $400,000 figure:
• cutting $40,000 in mainte-
nance - to be covered on the
town's side of the budget
• cutting $40,000 in supplies
and materials - hopefully to be
taken care of by Cohasset
Educational Foundation funding
• cutting $30,000 in athletics -
hopefully to be supported by
local boosters clubs
• not hiring a new math
teacher for $45,000
• not purchasing new math
books for $6,000 which would
have been used in that teacher's
class
• cutting three instructional
aides for $51,000
Now that the override has
failed, the school department is
being asked to come up with its
$285,000 share and members of
the school committee are work-
ing hard to see if there are any
alternatives to cutting teaching
positions. Talk has surfaced of
implementing transportation
fees, and raising lunch fees to
make up that difference.
However. Supt. Walsh believes
the only way to make up the
money is to cut positions, as she
had asked the three building
principals to come up with a list
of additional cuts to make up the
difference, and none could come
up with enough money.

To The Editor:
It's too bad that Ihe recent
override ballot vote didn't
pass in Cohasset.
Maintaining an excellent
public school system is an
essential part of staving off the
coming bust in real estate
prices. Hopefully. the
Cohasset Public Schools can
continue to provide an excel-
lent education, but since ihe
override didn't pass that will
be difficult
Within 10 years, in order to
be successful in the worldwide
economy one will need to be
fluent in Mandarin (Mandarin
and Cantonese are two major
dialects of the Chinese lan-
guage). Spanish, a language
spoken by much of the world,
is currently a portion of the
curriculum. That's good.
Spanish, as taught in (he
Cohasset Public Schools, is
excellent. Without an over-
ride, how can language offer-
ings be expanded to include
Mandarin?
Science and math, which are
currently excellent programs
al the Cohasset Public
Schools, need enhancement 'so
the U.S. can maintain jls
knowledge superiority in Jhe
world (the composition of (he
MIT student body is currently
largely Chinese). We've
already lost most manufactur-
ing to low-cost regions, such
as China. A no vote for the
override means accelerating
the outsourcing ol design jobs.
Implementing these educa-
tional programs costs money.
Please vote in-favor of the
next override before we are
responsible for making Ihe
U.S. a third world country.
Sure there are some incjjj
ciencies in the school depM-
ment. but voting down n
override will noi solve ilium
These spending aberratiaSs
are being addressed. The ami-
school talk I hear is vely
shortsighted. We can't alt < ml
to be pennywise and pourid
foolish. Real estate buyers pa\
a premium for property in !a
town with an outstanding
school system, and as far as
purchasing property in a ihiTd
world country. Forget it. f\

Litchfield talks about boot camp
FROM LITCHFIELD, PAGE 1
Air Force, but as the years went
on, he decided he would embark
on a journey which would lead
""him to become one of the "few
and the proud."
On Dec. 28, Litchfield left his
Beechwood Street home and
headed to Parris Island, S.C.,
where he spent 12 grueling
weeks going through boot camp.
He describes his experience as
three months of constant mental
and physical stress.
While he could still receive let-
ters from home, Litchfield said
'fie was cut off from just about
"everything. He didn't know the
Patriots had made it to the
'Superbowl until he read it in a
letter. He said when his family,
including his mother (Cohasset
school transportation coordinator
Peggy Litchfield) and friends
came to his graduation, he
couldn't step out of formation to
say hello, he just tried to catch a
glimpse of them from the comer
of his eye.
"If you want to be
a Marine, you have
to earn it"
Pvt. Jaime Litchfield visitt Scott Newkirk's international rela-
tions class on Tuesday to talk about his experience training to
become a Marine.
— Jaime Litchfield.
Beechwood Street
During boot camp, drill
instructors are very tough and
Litchfield said they are constant-
ly yelling. "Marines swear in a
different kind of way I've never
heard before," he said. He said
boot camp continually wears you
down until you're not even sure
you want to go through with it
anymore.
"You are stripped of every-
thing, including your pride," he
said, but it's all a part of a bigger
plan to weed out those recruits
who aren't strong enough to
' "become a Marine.
"If you want to be a Marine,
you have to earn it." he said.
"Everyone at some point or
another wanted to go home."
Litchfield said, adding there
were times when training kept
him awake for 72 straight hours
during which time he was only
i fed five times. He said even dur-
ing regular training days, rules
are strict and when in the dining
hall, everyone is required to sit a
certain way. with the back
straight and no looking up from
the plate. If the rules are broken,
it results in being kicked out of
the hall without finishing the
meal.
Litchfield said boot camp was
all about discipline, and while it
was very physical, when com-
pleted, he knew he could deal
with the stress of being in a com-
bat situation. In addition, he is
now part of a brotherhood which
he said is very strong.
He said during training, the
importance of always rescuing
fellow soldiers, whether injured
or deceased, is highly stressed.
Everyone trains wearing hun-
dreds of pounds of gear while
dragging one or two fully
armored comrades to safety dur-
ing a mock war situation.
"Every Marine comes home no
matter what," he said.
Regardless of personalities or
feelings when not in combat.
Litchfield said he knows no mat-
ter what. Marines would do all
they could to save him in battle
and he would do the same.
Litchfield became a Marine in
March. With a score of 232 out
of 250 points for his rifle qualifi-
cation, he is now an expert
marksman. Because he scored
so high, he was given the option
of choosing which path he would
like to take.
Litchfield was only home for
10 days before he shipped out
once more to attend the Marine's
School of Infantry at Camp
Lejeune in North Carolina,
where he spent four weeks being
trained in "common skills." and
another 2-1/2 weeks training to
become a rifleman. Now, he is a
fire team leader for a rifle com-
pany operating out of
Londonderry, N.H.
During those first four weeks
of training, Litchfield learned all
about how to use many different
kinds of weapons, including live
hand grenades.
"It was one of the loudest
things I've ever heard in my
life." he said.
Litchfield said he also fired
bazookas, M 1 6s, and a variety of
other weapons. His testing dur-
ing this part of training was also

very intense, as it required mem-
orizing all the parts of a rifle and
being able to assemble and disas-
semble it in minutes. Every
week, he said more than half of
the Marines failed their tests, but
he "aced" all of his and was
offered a job to be a sniper.
Litchfield returned home from
training Friday. June 17. and life
is not the same as it was before
he left. He said as a result of all
his training, his "muscle memo-
ry" is still very much reacting as
if he was completing training
drills. He said last week, some
kids in the neighborhood were
lighting off firecrackers, and
when he heard them, he immedi-
ately dropped to the ground but
then felt foolish realizing where
he was.
Although he is only signed up
for the next 5-1/2 years.
Litchfield said he could see him-
self rc-enlisting when his com-
mitment is up. Currently.
Litchfield is a reservist and
could be called to active duty at
anytime. He said there is a good
chance he will be shipping out to
Iraq at some point, as virtually
everyone in the Marines spends
some time in the Middle East.
Just about every drill instructor
he came in contact with during
his training has been to either
Iraq or Afghanistan at least once.
"We're the first to go and the
last to know," he said, adding the
Marines are only required to give
72 hours notice before shipping
out.
While being a Marine is hard
work, and requires a lot of sacri-
fice — especially for those who
have wives and children.
Litchfield said he wouldn't
change anything about his expe-
rience.
"It's not for everyone," he said.
But now that he has made it
through the toughest part, "It is
the most memorable thing I've
ever done." he said.

The Strawberry Festival at the Second Congregational Church*
is always a big attraction at the Arts Festival.

FROM FESTIVAL. PAGE 1
credit has to go to the many vol-
unteers, including artists, gtu
dents, members, faculty and
friends of the an center, who
helped put the festival together."
she said. "As the festival coordi-
nator. I'm generally the overseer
of all the volunteer efforts, but I
have all these captains working
under me. who altogether did a
great job."
Kennedy explained what was
most critical about the 50th
annual ails festival was the over-
all quality of artists and crafts
exhibiting, which she described
as very high and very selective.
"Altogether, we had to turn
away some 50 percent of the
total craft artists who applied,"
she said. "Not only for quality
hut also variety. An overall
diversity of craft and media, we
believe, makes the show more
appealing to artists, using artists
in the global sense of the word."
The overall diversity of craft
and media was in lull splendor
throughout the common all
weekend. There were the usual
individual tents of roughly 90
craft and line artists showcasing
and selling unique handmade
items, including jewelry, glass,
pottery /ceramics, wood, baskets,
tine art. photography.
clolhing/fibcMTbags. leather and
metal. Unique hats and clothing
were also offered.
Also featured un the festival
grounds were such mainstays as
the signature l()-pole white exhi-
bition lent tilled with paintings,
photographs and drawings; the
festival performance stage fea-
turing musical groups: and the
Young Artists Hxhibition in the'
KidsTenl. Ongoing events and
attractions such as en nlein aire
painters, fine art and crafts,
musical performances, strawber-
ry shortcake, lobster rolls, and
artist demonstrations were in
great supply.
New for this year, the an center
added an installation to further
involve the area youth commu-
nity. The an piece. ""Our Town:
Outside the Frame." was a col-
laborative piece created for the
50th festival celebration by near-
ly 200 South Shore high school
students. Rockland Trust was the
principal sponsor of "Our Town"
along with Adrian Morris Salon,
Cohasset Jewelers. Kitchen
Concepts, Strekalovsky Hoit
Ray mond LLC and a number pf
individuals from the South
Shore.
The piece was comprised of 16
oversized mixed-media paint-
ings by young anist.s from (5
area high schools. The students
were invited to find an artistic
theme for each of their towns,
using their own viewpoint on
what is remarkable about their
towns.
For those wishing to chow
down at the festival, the straw-
berry shortcake and lobster roll
specials, sponsored by the two of
the neighborhood churches, have
become as much a fixture of the
event as the art.
"We've had a great collabora-
tive effort for the last few years
with both the Second
Congregational Church and the
First Parish Unitarian
Universalis! Church." said
Monica McKenney of the art
center. "The Congregational
Church has sponsored (he straw-
berry shoncakc sale for many
y ears now. and last year the Fifjt
Parish Church started the lobster
roll sale as a regular feature. It/s
an important fundraiser for tbje
church."
The festival performance stage
brought a steady flow of musicjl
acts over the three days, whjt
Kennedy described as "a mix of
ja/./, folk and bluegrass, with
community bands like the Kusiy
Skippers from Cohasset and the
South Shore Bay Band from
Du x bury."
"I think it was just the right
mix of music sets." saSl
Kennedy, "not overpoweriiig
and very enjoyable for all listen
ers."
"Everyone who came out was
very pleased with all aspects of
the festival — the an, the crafts,
the v endors, the food and overall
atmosphere." added McKennaJ.
"After 50 years, I think we're
finally getting it right."

Legion team
lacking big hits
during 2-5-1 start
By Mark Goodman
MGOOOMANffCNC.COM
Cohasset Post 118 head coach
Mike O'Brien says he has been
getting great pitching and
defense so far from his team.
Indeed, the Legion team -
which draws from Scituate and
Cohasset - has been getting some
sterling efforts on the mound
from the likes of Greg Malley.
Teddie Straughn and Mark
Rennie.
"We're starting to
come around with
the bats a little bit.
We still need to
make some
progress, but that
will come."
Legion coach Mike O'Brien
Shane Caffery has also pitched
well out of the bullpen, and Greg
Oullette tossed a complete game
7-2 victory over Holbrook in the
first week of the season.
So why is the team 2-5- 1 after
Monday night's 9-1 loss to
Quiney? It has been a lack of hit-
ting, specifically in clutch situa-
tions with runners on base.
"That has been the story for us
since our first loss [12-2 against
Milton)." O'Brien said Tuesday.
"After that game, we have played
some unbelievable defense and
gotten some great pitching."
Leading the effort defensively
have been third baseman Kevin
Signorelli. shortstop Scott
Carroll, center fielder Garrett
Callahan and catcher Terrence
O'Brien. O'Brien has been espe-
cially impressive, throwing out
six runners on the base paths so
far this season.
Coach O'Brien says his offense
may have turned the comer in
Sunday's 4-1 victory over
Parkway (from West Roxbury).
Terrence O'Brien went 3-for-4 in
that game, and Ryan Ferriter
came up with two huge plays at
the plate. One was a sacrifice
bunt to move a couple runners
along in the fourth, and then in
the sixth. Ferriter hit a two-run
double to break the game open.
That was more than enough for
Malley. who went the first six
innings and allowed only three-
hits. Rennie closed it out with a
1-2-3 seventh, including a couple
punchouts.
Coach O'Brien was glad to see
a pitcher's strong performance
backed up by his offense, some-
thing that had been lacking in the
first six games. Cohasset's tie
came against Morrissette. a game
in which the Boston College-
bound Straughn pitched lights
out. The recent CHS grad struck
out 1 1 batters in seven innings, at
which point the game was called
due to rain.
Straughn also pitched well in
last Friday's 5-4 loss at
Stoughton. Rennie. a southpaw,
tossed a game of his own last
Monday against Braintree. but it
was wasted in a 2-0 loss.
Coach O'Brien is confident,
however, that his team will turn
things around, as there is plenty
of time to right the ship and qual-
ify for the Zone 6 playoffs.
"We are very deep; we've got a
team with a tremendous amount
of talent." O'Brien said. "We're
starting to come around with the
bats a little bit. We still need to
make some progress, but that
will come."
An upward trend
Skippers softball
looks to build on
this years success
By Evan Deutsch
CORRESPONDENT
Midway through the softball
season the Lady Skippers
looked at each other in disbelief.
They had plummeted to a dis-
mal 4-9 record, and the outlook
appeared mighty bleak.
Who would have dreamt the
Lady Skippers could roar back
with seven straight victories'.'
Yes, they are the Comeback
Kids ol Cohasset.
In a nutshell, the team started
off with an average "win y>me
lose some record." then sank
into a slump. After a crude
wake-up call, things started
clicking for the Skippers.
In this roller coaster ride of a
season, they hit rock bottom
against next door neighbor
Norwell. The game turned into
THE tipping point in the
Cohasset schedule. The Lady
Skippers beat the Clippers in
their first showdow n but not this
second time around.
The 6-3 loss really bothered
veteran coach Deb Bostwick
and her players.
"This loss snapped us back
into reality." said Bostwick.
"Norwell showed us that any
team can win on any given day.
We needed this wake-up call."
After this bummer of a game,
the Skippers boarded the "W"
train and rode it all the way to
the tourney. What gave the girls
a new wind?
"It was definitely a confidence
thing." said junior Melissa
Crowley-Buck. "First, our hit-
ting clicked. Then our defense
kicked in. Before we knew it,
we were on a winning streak.
One win built confidence and
snowballed into another victo-
ry"

7-11,7-10.8-10.
Since Al Gallotta took over
the Cohasset High baseball pro-
gram three years ago. those
have been his team's records.
Slight and steady improvement
each year, leading up to '05,
where the Skippers were one
win shy of qualifying for the
slate tournament.
That is the goal for next sea-
son, and Gallotta says the team
may have the horses to do it.
"I'm as optimistic as I think
I've been since I got here, in
terms of where we are talent-
wise." said the Skippers coach.
"The kids we're working with
now are improving each year,
and I think when we jell togeth-
er a little bit more, we'll be that
much better."
One reason for that optimism
is the success of the junior var-
sity team, coached by Bob
Rodgers, who lost only one
game this season. There are also
seven athletes - who just com-
pleted their freshman season at
CHS - who are playing AAU
baseball this summer.
Gallotta says that is the most
"out of season commitment to
the sport" he has seen in his
time at Cohasset.
Make no mistake about it. the
boys returning to next year's
team have a few holes to fill.
Six seniors have graduated from
this year's team, including their
2-3-4 hitters: Tim Pilczak,
Teddie Straughn and Luis
Blanco.
Batting cleanup and playing
catcher. Blanco put up some
remarkable numbers this year,
batting .429 and knocking in 18

runs. In 18 games, he hit 10
doubles; which, as Gallotta
points out, pro-rates to 90 over
the course of a Major League
season.
Perhaps most impressively.
Blanco struck out only three
times in 63 plate appearances.
Pilczak, meanwhile, played a
strong second base and hit .397
from the two-spot in the lineup.
He led the team with 25 RBI,
which included two separate 6-
RBI games. Pilczak led the
team with three homers and was
second with nine extra-base
hits.
Straughn did his best work on
the mound, striking out 44 bat-
ters in 28.1 innings. His won-
loss record did not match those
numbers, but Straughn general-
ly pitched against the toughest
opponents. Perhaps his best per-
formance came in a lough luck
2-1 extra-inning loss to defend-
ing sectional champion Hull in
May.
"He is a tremendous role
model for the younger kids, and
he certainly has good ability as a
pitcher." . Oallotta said of
Straughn. "I think the kids
looked up to him; we will defi-
nitely miss his leadership."
Gallotta also thinks highly of
his other three seniors: Jim
DeGiacomo. Andrew I.ovallo
and John IX'VVaal I.ovallo. a
left fielder, was the only one of
the three to see significant play -
irjg time, but the coach say s that
docs not lessen their impact on
the team

MIAA: Cohasset,
Holbrook fix game
By Robert Slager
RSLAGEReCNC.COM
The Holbrook High varsity
softball team intentionally tried
to lose a late-season game to
Cohasset. prompting a stale ath-
letic association inquiry thai lead
to a one-game suspension of
coaches Irom both teams
According in Massachusetts
InterschokiMk Athletic
Association spokesman Paul
Wet/el. Holbrook agreed to
intentionally love a May 24
home game by walking the first
four Cohassel baiters — forcing
home a run - then ordering the
rest of the Holbrook players to
intentionally strike out for the
remainder ol the game. Cohasset
agreed to do the sank- Cohasset
earned the win. I-O. however the
game was ultimately overturned.
"Apparently the weather was
kind ol bad .ind the game wasn't
called off by the umpires."
Wet/el said. "The coaches then
made a deal i"his game should
never have been played li violat-
ed the spirit of high school ath-
letics "
Holbrook Junior/Senior High
Principal Joel Antolini and
Cohasset Athletic Director Ron
Ford, in a prepared statement,
said the communities regretted
the decision
"The Holbrook and Cohassel
school communities regret the
Collective judgment ol three
coaches, iwo umpires and one
athletic director involved in a
May 24. 2005 softball game in
Holbrook that had .i predelcr
mined outcome, compromised

ideals or interscholastic athletes
and mission of the schools," the
statement read "The contest has
been authentically replayed and
both si hi k lis look appropriate
steps to insure this will not hap-
pen again."
The game was replayed a few
davs later, and C ohasset won.

Neither Antolini. who is leav-

Fontecchio would explain the
motivation for Holbrook 's deci-
sion. A source close to the team,

Crowley-Buck also credited the
captains and her couch for keeping
up the team morale.
The Skippers pushed on. With
one game to spare. Cohasset
nudged their way into postseason
play. Though the third year team
members didn't make much note
in the playoffs, they silenced any-
one w ho thought Cohasset could-
n't play ball.
This past Monday, the
Comeback Kids celebrated their
impressive season with a very
upbeat year-end banquet. Players
received the following recognition
from their coach:
co-MVPs: Casey Anderson and
Christina Pinkus: Offensive Player
Award: Virginia Spofford:
Defensive Player Award: Anna
Haggerty; Most Improved Player
Award: Erin Liddell:
Sportsmanship Award: Cecelia
Chapman.
The audience also congratulated
Anderson and Pinkus for their
selection onto the South Shore
League All-Star Team.
The future looks promising for
the Lady Skippers. Most impor-
tantly. Bostwick indicated her
interest in coaching again next
year. When asked about her plans.
Bostwick commented. "I plan on
focusing on the defense and build-
ing the best fielding team and
working from there."
Anderson, who recently gradu-
ated from Cohasset High School,
expressed optimism about next
year.
"We should have no problem
filling in the seniors' positions."
she said. "Haggerty has shown a
lot of promise at the catcher posi-
tion. Ken/ie Durkin and Emily
Nash will be solid I the outfield."
Bostwick added. "I'm extremely
proud of this year's team for their
dedication, hard work, and desire
ID win." she said. "They really
turned this program around. G<xxi
hitting should fall into place with
confidence."
She suspects Abington and Hull
will prove the biggest challenges
next season. Yet. she wouldn't be
shocked if Norwell. Harwich or
Carver rises to the top as well.
What about Cohasset'.'
"I feel we can do just as well as
we did this season if not better."
Bostwick said. "It will be up to the
team members."
Leading the team will be cap-
tains Erin Liddell. Katie James and
Melissa Crowley-Buck.
Two seasons ago, Cohasset fin-
ished the season with a 5-15
record. In 2005, they ended up 1 1 -
10. Let's hope the trend line con-
tinues.
Next step: state tournament
FROM TOURNAMENT. PAGE 15
complained about their roles,"
Gallotta said. "I really enjoyed
hav ing them on the team."
Back on the subject of next year,
two reasons Gallotta has high
hopes are pitchers Chris Bryan and
Brian Hill, both of whom came
into this season with little mound
experience at the varsity level.
Bryan, one of three senior captains
on next year's team, won three
games and had a team-best 3.53
ERA. He also batted .368. third
best on the Skippers roster.
Hill was impressive on the
mound in his freshman campaign,
winning a team-high four games
and posting a 4.82 ERA. At this
point in time. Gallotta envisions
Bryan and Hill as his I -2 punch at
the top of the rotation next year, but
there are also a couple talented
hurlers coming up from the JV
program.
Joining Bryan as co-captains for
2006 are classmates Brian
Straughn and Chris Ofthsun.
Straughn batted .304 this year and
played a solid first base, while
Ofthsun excelled defensively in
center field. Gallotta says Ofthsun
needs to improve his hitting, but
added that he led the team in w alks
and still had a good on base per-
centage this season.
The other returnees from this
year's varsity squad are Nick
Zappolo. Stefan Parnell. Brendan
Barrett and Will Pinkus. Zappolo
showed a lot of improvement over
the course of the year at shortstop,
while Parnell (right fielder) arid
Barrett (designated hitter) con-
tributed offensively throughout the
year.
Girls end season
with successful
Jamboree weekend
Editor's Note: Due to space
constraints, we could not run
the 13-and-Under report this
week. It w ill run, in its entirety,
in next w eek 's edition.
It was Jamboree weekend for
the Cohassel's girls program
playing at Bridgewater State
College, with Blue and White
teams at the oldest levels com-
bining for a weekend filled
with games on both Saturday
and Sunday.
For the first time ever.
Cohasset's youngest girls - the
1 1 -and-Unders - also made an
appearance at the Jamboree,
playing three games, more
than they had played all spring,
on Sunday.
The action was particularly
exciting for ihe 15-and-Undei
girls, whose last two games of
the season pitted them against
Braintree and Duxbury 3, the
only two teams to beat
Cohasset's seventh and eighth
grade teams in the last two
years.
All of the teams ended the
year playing some of their best
lacrosse. Here are the results:
15-and-Lnder girls (grades
7-8)
Cohasset's oldest girls
played sluggishly most of the
day on Saturday, and it cost
them at the beginning of the
day in a contest against Hull.
Alter jumping to a 2-1 half-
time lead on the strength of
goals by Maura Barnes and
Gabriella Flibotte. the team
scored just two more in the
second half - from Flibotte
and Madeline Leahy - and
allowed Hull to tie things up
just before the final whistle
blew. Maddy Altholt/ played a
particularly strong game, cre-
ating multiple scoring opportu-
nities, but she and the rest of
the Cohasset team struggled to
convert.

new balance
during the day's second game,
where Martha's Vineyard kept
things close on the strength of
amazing goalie play. This
time, however, that was not
enough to deny Cohasset. as
Flibotte scored twice - once
assisted by Altholt/. - and
Katie Gaumer. Madeline
Leahy and Hannah Burgess
added second-half goals to salt
away a 5- 1 win.
The final game on Saturday
put Cohasset against
■Sandwich, in a rematch of an
early-season blow-out.
Sandwich was more scrappy
and physical this go-round, but
Cohasset still had the upper
hand. Flibotte, Amy
Meikleham and Kaley Madge
each scored twice, with
Burgess, Gaumer. Kayla
Farren and Maura Barnes
adding one goal each. Barnes
also picked up an assist, as
Cohasset rolled 1 0-4.
Over the course of the day.
Thomson Jaffe made six saves
in the Cohasset net.
On Sunday, the Cohasset
team that has overwhelmed
opponents all year showed up.
and put on an awesome display
of finesse, toughness and fire-
power.
The day opened with a 9-0
whitewash of Foxboro. with
Gabriella Flibotte scoring a
natural hat trick to open the
game. From there, the rout was
on. Caitlin Mahoney scored
twice. Kaley Madge and
Maura Barnes each picked up
a goal and an assist. Madeline
Leahy and Lindsay Hill had
solo scores.
But the highlight of the game
lor Cohasset was an appear-
ance by Alexandra Graven,
who played in the youth girl's
program four years ago - dur-
ing the first season — before
returning to her native
Denmark, where there is no
youth lacrosse and she is con-
sidered too young to play with
the regional adult team that she
tried out for and made. Graven
was in town visiting for the
weekend, and got some play-
ing lime in the day's first two
games. The "best youth player
in all of Denmark" responded
during her first shift with an
assist on Leahy's goal, and
missed several other scoring
opportunities.
The team's last two games on
Sunday were something the
team had pointed to ever since
the Jamboree schedule was
posted.
Entering the Jamboree, the
Cohasset 1 5-U girls had com-
piled a record of 27-2-2 over
the last two seasons, and the
season was ending with a
chance to avenge the only
defeats the eighth graders had
suffered.
Braintree - which defeated
Cohasset at last year's
Jamboree — was light on play-
ers, but the game was a dog-
fight because Cohasset moved
several top players to the other
side. After trailing 3-1 early.
Cohasset rallied to tie the score
at 3 by halftimc, then salted it
away with a 4-1 second half.
Flibotte. Barnes and Isabelle
Franklin each scored twice,
with Hannah Burgess scoring a
single goal and Kaley Madge
and Lindsay All. ml adding
assists. All but one of
Thomson Jaffe's five saves in
the net came during the second
half, shutting the door on
Braintree.
That set up a final showdown
against Duxbury 3. the only
team to beat the oldest
Cohasset girls this year.
In a game that gave a hint of
what might become an annual
ritual between two of Eastern
Massachusetts' best programs.
Cohasset managed a 1-0 half-
lime lead on the strength of a
Flibotte penally shot. Madge
fed Barnes on a brilliant fast-
break to open the second half.
Allard scored next and Flibotte
banged home a second free
position to give Cohasset a 4-0
lead just moments into the sec-
ond half.
From there, the team settled
in on defense, getting strong
contributions from Megan
Richardson. Mimi Mahoney.
Lauren Bla/e. Natalie Hunt
and Lindsey Hill. Thomson
Jaffe slopped five shots, sever-
al down the stretch, to preserve
an intense win that sent
Cohasset into shrieks and
holler thai were heard across
ihe entire Bridgewater site.

competition.
The day started against a
South Boston team that was
shorthanded, so Cohasset
allowed them to use some
older players to fill the voids in
the roster. Even with the age
disparity. Cohasset hung tough
in a 6-2 loss. Kate Bodner and
Victoria Bryan scored
Cohasset's goals and were all
over the field scooping ground
balls and playing great
defense.
The second game was
against Whitman-Hanson-
Abington. and Cohasset start-
ed slowly before coming on
strong as the game progressed.
Cohasset overcame a 2-0
deficit on ihe sirength of goals
from Isabella Flibotte and
Peyton MacNaught. Gabrielle
Weisman helped Cohasset
control the midfield by scoop-
ing several ground balls and
moving the ball into the offen-
sive /one. Molly Fitzgerald
and Isabelle Dunne played
well on defense and disrupted
several WHA passes, but they
could not help Cohasset keep
up the momentum and WHA
pulled out to a 6-2 win.
The final game of the day
was a rematch against
Duxbury, which had beaten
Cohasset 10-2 a week earlier.
The game was much
different, with Katie McKenna
winning the opening draw and
driving to the cage before a
crease violation was called.
Cohasset continued to play
very well throughout the game,
but could not capitalize on
Some great scoring opportuni-
ties until Kate Bodner scored
her second goal of the
day. Isabella Flibotte moved to
defense for this game and was
outstanding on ground balls
and clearing. Maddie Curley
played goalie in all three
games and turned away sever-
al good scoring chances and
made solid clearing passes.
A t ier Cohasset had a goal
called back for another crease
violation, Duxbury was able to
hang on for a 4-1 win.
The ll-and-Under
girls showed great enthusiasm
and teamwork throughout the
season. The girls learned the
fundamentals of the game and
improved every week.

In the Scripture lessons for the
Fifth Sunday after Pentecost, the
prophet Isaiah announces that the
day of the Lord will be a time of
judgment against all that is proud
and lofty. In the Epistle to the
Romans, Paul observes that as
Christian disciples have been
joined with Christ in his death
through baptism, so they are to
know a resurrection like his.
Finally, in the Gospel of
Matthew Jesus further describes
what it means to be his disciple:
it is not the way of easy peace.

II DESTINATIONS III
Aboard the Carnival Spirit
By FRAN GOLDEN
he thing about cruising in Alaska is you
have to keep reminding yourself you real-
ly are in the U.S. This concept is hard to
grasp when you consider it takes more than 10
hours to get to Anchorage from Boston (it's a lot
quicker to get to Ireland). It's also hard to grasp
when you actually see Alaska, which is nothing if
not awe-inspiring.
The scenery is of course beautiful (even flying
into the Ted Stevens Anchorage International
Airport is scenic, with sunlight glistening off
snowcapped peaks). The experience of being in
the Last Frontier, enlightening. And there is noth-
ing that I have seen on earth as thunderously
impressive as a calving glacier.
In the company of my 2 1 -year-old daughter. I
chose this ship and its 7-day Inside Passage itiner-
ary because we wanted to have a "Fun Ship" expe-
rience, a good ol' time exploring the 49th State.
But Carnival fans be warned: While the 2. 1 24-pas-
senger ship is as big and glitzy as you would
expect, the onboard party scene is not as intense in
Alaska as in the Caribbean. The crowd is older
(mostly age 50 and up) and most people are too
exhausted from intense days of touring to stay up
much past midnight (the ship's casino is the place
that got the most action).
The four-year-old Spirit's decor is everything
from early I °th century French to Egyptian, and
includes Art Deco and Art Nouveau. At least one
passenger found this confusing as we overheard
this dialog which cracked us up:
Woman: "Chippendale Library, that sounds
good."
Man: "Uh. Chippendale as in the furniture (not
the male strippers)."
Women: "Ohhh..."
The Spirit provides comfortable accommoda-
tions, surprisingly good cuisine (including fresh
Alaskan salmon), plentiful if sometimes cheesy
entertainment and a way for you to get what you
came all this way to see: Alaska
We knew we were in the right place when after
our first night onboard we awoke to the sound of
White Thunder (ice falling off a glacier) al
Harvard Glacier at the foot of College Fjord
(where all the glaciers are named for East Coast
colleges). It was 6:30 a.m. and in the 40s. Since we
luckily had a balcony cabin, we threw coats on top
of our bathrobes and stood and watched nature's
glory. The glacier performed unusually well, calv-
ing every few minutes for nearly an hour. The cap-
tain of the ship performed well. too. getting us
within 1 .000 feet of the falling ice and slowly turn-
ing the ship 360 degrees so everyone got a picture-
perfect view. The ship's mellow-voiced naturalist
Carnival cruise ship in Alaska.
offered commentary which we cranked up our TV
to hear. The ice we were seeing disappear into the
fjord was 400 to 500 years old. she said.
Exiting the fjord, we saw a seal on an ice chunk
with a pup she had obviously just given birth to.
passed swimming sea otters and saw a bald eagle
overhead. Spotting wildlife in Alaska is effortless.
The port of Sitka our first call, is known for its
Russian and Native American history. This is
where Russian fur trader Alexander Baranoff
established a fort in 1799 and after some intense
fighting with the local Tlingit tribe created what
would be the capital of Alaska until 1900. The
Russian influence remains with St. Michael's
Russian Orthodox Church, a resident Russian
dance troupe and Russian nesting dolls and amber
for sale in the souvenir shops. The Native
American influence includes totem polls, includ-
ing on a one-mile trail at Sitka National Historic
Park, plus Native American items in the souvenir
shops.
But you can easily get close to nature here. too.
While some passengers headed off on small boats
on wildlife shore excursions ($109 to $169) —
one lucky group spotted a pod of killer whales —
and others got close to winged creatures at the
Alaska Raptor Rehabilitation Center (visit on a
$49 shore excursion or lake a cab). Erin and I got
our wildlife fix by walking to the free Sheldon
Jackson Aquarium. Here five touch tanks allow
While Pass, Yukon Railroad.
visitors to pick up and examine slimy local
anemones and giant starfish in shades ranging
from bright orange lo purple. Great fun!
The wildlife on the ship was less enticing.
Besides the cute jazz musicians who performed
nightly in the Deco Cigar Bar. Erin and I found
few guys in the 40s (for me) or 20s (for her) to
even flirt with.
Juneau is the only state capital you can't get to
by car — you have to come by boat or plane.
Arriving here with temps approaching 70, we
made a bee-line for nearby Mendenhall Glacier.
You can book a shore excursion to see the ice
(from $42). but we opted for the Mendenhall
Glacier Express, a blue school bus which gets you
there for $5 each way.
The bus trip (about a half hour) comes with
commentary, ours from a Native American
woman who shared the big Juneau news that
WalMart is coming to town, which she said was a
good thing since K-Mart pulled out a few years
ago. She also deadpanned a poop joke: "Why does
the bald eagle have a white head? Because the
raven flies above."
On her advice, we hiked the 3 1/2-mile East
Glacier Loop on a well-maintained trail, mostly
through forest, but also with occasional spectacu-
lar views of the sun glistening off the glaciers'
blue/gray/white ice. We didn't spot any of the bear
cubs a ranger warned us were flitting about (if you
see one stand still but make a lot of noise) but we
met a 30-ish adventure traveler/photographer from
Ireland who accompanied us much of the way
sharing his tales of world travel. Warning: I hiked
in sneakers, and sure felt it in my legs the next day.
Historic Skagway was starting point for the
Yukon Gold Rush, and there are late 1800s build-
ings if you can spot them amidst the Starbucks arid
tourist shops (get a map at the National Parks
Service visitor center to help. At this port we opted
for fresh air and exercise, so booked the White
Pass Rail & Bike Adventure ($164) which took us
on a scenic narrow gauge rail up to Fraser, B.C. (in
Canada), population 12. for a sometimes chilly
mountain bike ride down from 3,000 feet.
Squeezing our handbrakes, we worked a lot less
than the crazy stampeders who traversed these
rugged parts without benefit of road or rail: there's
a reason they call Dead Horse Gulch by that name.
With our day in Ketchikan our goal again was lo
get out of town. Ketchikan was once a quaint fish-
ing village, but there are now 50 jewelry stores
catering to cruise passengers. The Tatoosh Island
Sea Kayaking excursions ($134) thankfully took
us to a small, island chain, part of the Tongass
National Forest, inhabited not by people but by
wildlife like the more than a dozen bald eagles we
spotted while paddling in two-person crafts.
Throughout our cruise we continued to ooh and
ahh, and marvel at how Discovery Channel just
doesn't do the trick: You have to experience
Alaska in person.
Rates for Carnival's 7-day Alaska cruises
between Whittier (Alaska) and Vancouver (B.C.)
are from $799 this summer, from $779 in
September and from $649 for early bookings next

On the South Shore
* k 4*
Deep Purple ja
at Music
Roger Glover first joined Deep Purple in 1 969 when he \
24 year. old. The bass player and composer will turn
November and is happier than ever lo be pari of the group once
hailed as the world's loudest rock band by the Guinness Book of
World Records.
"You don't see what's ahead of you when you're younger. It's
really hard work with a lot of gigs and a lot of craziness."
explained Glover by telephone from Cleveland last week on a
tour that will bring the band to the South Shore Music Circus on
Saturday. "When 1 was a kid in school. I just wanted to have a
number one hit. And it actually happened for me. Now, I'm priv-
ileged to still be a performer traveling the world. I definitely
appreciate my good fortune more now."
With a catalogue thai includes "Highway Star," "Black Night,"
"Hush." "Space Truckin" and "Smoke on the Water," Deep
Purple could easily rely on classic versions of its hits for its tour
play list, but Glover says that's never been the case.
"I'm a musk fan so I know what hearing
'Smoke on the Water1 live means to
people. They're just songs, however, not
They're just i
we can play around."
Roger GloVOr of Deep Purple
"We're lucky to have our classics, but they're new to us every
night and it's still a thrill to play them for new audiences. I'm a
music fan so I know what hearing 'Smoke on the Water' live
means to people. They're jast songs, however, not monuments.
They're just skeletons that we can play around. I've known since
my very first rehearsal with Deep Purple, over 35 years ago. that
this group just doesn't do songs. It also jams. The basis of Purple
is that we're a jamming group."
And a group with its own real sound, too. not just one creat-
ed in a recording studio. "There's no artifice about Purple, we
play what comes out of our heads. We all play our own instru-
ments-we're not based on image or music videos. We're very
traditional in that respect. We live on the road, because we real-
ly are a live band." says the Brecon. Wales, native, joined in
today s Deep Purple by Don Airey. Ian Gillian. Steve Morse
and Ian Paice.
Glover - who spent an 1 1 -year Purple exile (1973-1984) work-
ing as a record executive and also playing with Ritchie
Blackmore's Rainbow - cites a lack of ego for the enduring suc-
cess of the group credited w ith making heavy rock a fine art.
"There are no leaders in the band. If someone tries to be a
leader, things just get a little uncomfortable. We've played out our
version of a rock n roll soap opera over the vears. but we're a
band again and that's what reallv counts."

Storm brewing over
the teachers' contract
Union members
may stop volunteer
efforts
By Samantha Brown
SAMBROWNOCNC COM
Members of the Cohasset
Teachers' Association have
handed together in their efforts
to achieve a fair contract for the
next three yean, Thai was evi-
dent Thursday I June 23) when
roughly 50 members — all
wearing red buttons as a sign of
their unity — packed the school
committee meeting room at the
middle-high school for a second
time lo voice concerns over
negotiations.
The current contract between
the teachers' union and the
school committee will expire
Aug. 31; negotiations for a new
contract have been underway
since September. While, due to
the failed override, a reduced fis-
cal 2(K)ft budget will need lo go
back to a special Town Meeting
for approval — currently, school
officials are factoring in a zero
percent raises for teachers.
While both sides say they are
working toward finding a reso-
lution, if an agreement cannot be
reached bv September, teachers
have plans to take action.

"If our contract is
not settled by
September, our
teachers have met
and voted to begin
a number of job
actions at that
time."
— CTA pupated statement
education teacher who has been
working in Cohasset for the past
36 years and plans to retire at the
end of the school year, read a
siatemeni on behalf of the
Cohasset Teachers' Association
during the June 23 school com-
mittee meeting.
"If our contract is not settled
by September, our teachers have
met and voted to begin a number
of job actions at that lime. One
of the job actions has to do with
the amount of volunteer time
teachers spend on student activi-
ties." she said.
Brown quoted the agreement
the staff voted on which stated:
"A large number of studenl
activities depend almost totally
upon the voluntary contributions
of lime by the Staff This
includes such activities as the
VISIT US ON
RTE3A in COHASSET
Camp Marist trip, overnighi
music department trips. Belize
and Costa Rica trips, the I'owder
I'ulf game, chaperoning dances,
etc, Please be aware that this
lime will no longer be vulun
leered."
Brown said middle and high
school teachers have volun-
teered their lime to have students
act as teacher assistants in their
classes, and have worked with
students on independent study
projects Elemental1) school
teachers have volunteered then
lime to attend parent confer-
ences both before and after their
school day. Without a new con-
tract by the beginning ol the new
school yea nest tall, volutnsei
activities such as these will not
occur, she said.
But it is not just the teachers
that are looking lor an equitable
solution Brown said school
nurses also "deserve a lair eco-
nomic package."
"Cohassel school nurse- have
been a bargain for this commu-
nity for years." she said.
Brown said the teachers
acknowledge these are difficult
financial limes, but said the) too
have homes, families to raise,
and tuxes to pay She said the
cost of health insurance will go
up VMi per month for leucheis.

Maintenance, phones, fees eyed to boost bottom line
Bus fees compared
with other towns
By
SAMBROWN9CNC COM
Supt. of Schools Douse Walsh
said she feels ihc only solution
lor the school's budgetary woes
is to cut teaching positions.
However, at the will or the school
committee, she looked into other
potential "discretionary" cuts, as
well as possible areas to imple-
ment lees. At its direction she
considered:
• Cutting $30,000 in one-
source cleaning:
• Cutting SKUNK) in mainte-
nance:
• Cutting SKI.(NH) in cell
phones:
• Restructuring vehicle mainte-
nance
• Implementing bus and park-
ing lees
Walsh said she spoke to lacili-
ties manager Brian Adams about
cutting Funding from the cleaning
line item.
• I'm not a believer in telling
managers w here to cut." she said
Adams reported there wens
three areas w hich could be cut if
absolute}) necessary, which
would make up the S30.000. He
said roughly $15500 could he
cut lor FlOOf hulling. $9,500
COUid he cut lor windows, which
are done once per year, prior to
the opening 61 school, and
$5300 for summei cleaning
School committee member
Rick Prynn said in his view, cut-
ling summer cleaning is not an
Option because that is when a
good portion of the heavy-duty
cleaning For the schools gets
done. In addition, the custodial
stall is working with two less
members, and cutting the time
the contracted cleaning service
adds to the in-house custodians
will make matters worse.
"It goes against the agreement
we made that we'd keep the
buildings clean. They're brand
new." he said.
In terms ol cutting SKUNK) For
maintenance. Walsh said that line
item originally had $50,000 at
the beginning Of the budgeting
season, and it has been whittled
downtoSK).(KN). The town side-
has money in its budget to help
cover school maintenance.
Walsh said the Department of
Education requires the schools
have some money in the budget
For maintenance, and she would
like to hold on to the small
amount the schools have.
Otherwise. "We couldn't make
anv small purchases or make
repairs without going through the
[Own." she said.
Cell phones have been a hot
topic during budget discussions
as it has been suggested the
school department has both
unnecessary cell phones being
used, and wasteful cell phone
plans. Walsh said this vear.
roUghlj $20,000 has k-en spent
Ini phones.
Currently, all bus drivers, all
administrators. Adams, and she
all have cell phones paid lor by
the school department Walsh
said moving Forward, the cell
phone situation will change, and
potentially not as mans stall
members will have phones or
plans will change to allow mini-
mal use.
However, she stressed the
important roles cell phones play,
as during the snimv weather
which hit this winter, she was
able to get in touch with VI, mis
while he was busy at 4:30 a.m.
plowing all three school parking
IbtS, With his phone, he Was able
to let her know if things would be
dear enough to open school on
time. In addition, she said the
phones were invaluable during
the bus accident Which happened
on the ex press vva) while Modems
were on a Field trip
Administrators were able to stay
in touch with bus diners the
entire trip up to the scene ol the
accident.
Vehicle maintenance i- an aie.i
both Walsh and the school com
mitlee would like to investigate
further. Walsh said roughly
S100.000 was spent on vehicle
maintenance this year, and she is
"confident we can do better."
She would like to put a contract
out to bid lor a new mechanic,
and said she believes the school
department can save at least
$75,000.
However. Flynn pointed out
there is no way to know how
much the town could save until
the bids lor the contract come

Teachers send up red flag over impasse in contract
FROM CONTRACT. PAGE 1
"Are vou aware that the aver-
age Cohasset teacher salaiv is
less than Hingham. Duvburv,
and Norwell teachers ' t he dil
ferences range from $1,500 to
more than $7,000," she said.
"Further, each of these tow ns has
negotiated a cost of living
increase of between 3 and 4 pet
cent lor the 2005.2006 school
year.
"With no cost of living money
even proposed in the FYOn hud-

will tall significant!) behind
comparable school systems in
our local area.'' Brown said She-
pointed out it w ill be difficult lor
Cohasset to keep its excellent
leaching and nursing stall il' it
does not pnivided competitive
oilers.
This is the second time mem-
bers of the Cohasset Teachers'
Association have come before
the school committee to raise
concerns. Cohasset middle
school language teacher Heidi
( )lson read a statement on behall
of the CTA at the board's June 9
meeting which noted the accom-
plishments Ol Cohasset students,
and saiil those achievements
would not be possible "without
the skill, dedication, and com-
mitment of the teacher, of the
Cohasset Public Schools in part-
nership with the parents and the
community."
to retain and attract the kinds
ol teachers Cohasset has come to
expect, Olson said the district
needs to oiler competitive
salaries, and all teachers and
nurses need to have the opportu-
nity and financial support to take
graduate courses to Further their
professional growth.
School committee chairman
Jamie Williams said she is glad
to see the teachers' association
Feels comfortable enough to
raise its concerns with the hoard
She said just prior to the start of
the June 23 meeting, she attend-
ed a negotiations session which
she Fell was "very productive.*"
Williams said negotiations will
continue into the summer
months.

While the teachers' union is
concerned about not having a
contract finalized before its expi-
ration Aug 31. members ol the
Cohasset Police Department
have been working Without a

During negotiations lor last
year's budget cycle, town
Manager Bill Griffin said three
town unions — the lire, clerical
and library unions — agreed to a
IWO-year contract with a zero
percent cost of living increase
lor fiscal 2(N)5. and a 3 percent
cost ol living increase lor fiscal

However, the police union did
not agree to that same otter and
the contract remains unresolved.
"In Massachusetts, police and
lire contracts that are at an
impasse are referred to the Joint

tration. The JLMC now has

Hussey said Ihe vandalism "is
willful and malicious destruction
of property, which is a very seri-

School committee chairman

Meet Cohasset's two newest police officers
By Samantha Brown
SAMBR0WN9CNC COM
The Cohasset Police Depart-
ment has undergone many
changes over the past two years,
the most recent of which is the
addition of two new officers to
the force.
Officers Ed Bagley and Pat
Kenney have been on the pay-
roll in Cohasset for roughly five
months novs. and both say the
experience thus far has been
great.
Bagley. who works the 4 p.m.
to midnight shift, comes to
Cohasset having served for 17
years on the Chatham Police
Department on Cape Cod.
"Everyone here has been very
nice." he said, adding the transi-
tion has gone well.
Bagley joined the Chatham
department at the young age of
20. first as a temporary summer
officer. He said he had never
realb thought about becoming
a police officer until he took a
criminal justice course in col-
lege, but he enjoyed the work so
much, he applied for the sum-
mer officer position at the con-
clusion of the sch<xil year.
As he prepared to go back to
school, Bagley was suddenly
offered a choice, as the depart-
ment offered him a full-lime
DOlitlon, He decided to stay
with the department and the
rest, as they say. is history.
Bagley was born and raised in
Quincy. and after a while, he
began thinking about moving
off the Cape and back to his
hometown. When the opportu-
nity presented itself in
( '( ihasset, he knew it would be a
perfect fit
'This is the best place I've
ever worked." he said, adding
the community is what really
sets Cohasset apart. "The peo-
ple have been welcoming and
very friendly. They're willing
to discuss basically anything,
and that's not limited to police
work."
While Bagle> works at night.
Kenney works during the day
on the X a. in to 4 p.m. shift.
Originally from West Roxhury.
Kenney is now a Milton resi-
dent who has been an officer lor
24 y ears.
Prior to becoming an officer.

Officers fat Kenney and l.d Bagley «W the newest additions to tin ( oltassei PWfcif Department Both have been on the depart-
meat lor mtlgfU)' live months
Kenney had served the public
as an EMT (Emergency
Medical Technician) for the city,
of Boston since I "77. which hie
really liked. However, dining
that time he had much interac-
tion with the Boston Police
Department and began thinking
of changing careers.
"I decided it was something I
wanted to do." he said ol
becoming an officer, and he
went lor it. Now. he couldn't
imagine doing anything else
Kenney said although it mighl
he a cliche, the reason he decid-
ed to become an officer is sim-
ply so he could help pei iple I le
said it is not in his nature 10 sii
idly by and watch when some-
one is being wronged or is in
general need of assistance, and
being a police officer enable-,
him to give help to those who
need it
Kenney comes to Cohassei
having served as an officer in
both Lincoln and Milton, and
said he enjoys his new sur-
roundings
"It's a beautiful place |(l work
I like everything about h." he
said

well as weekends and holidays,

even more important lo spend

because "they don't gel to see
you as much as other families
do " When not at work, Bagley

School budgets, by their very nature, are often criticized by
Iflc taxpayers. Town Meeting. by law. approves the bottom line
ol the school budget so the individual line items are not "locked
in" as ihey are w nh the low n side of the budget.
The reason for the difference is based in the fact that schools
need flexibility. If more special education is required or there's
an unexpected influx of students - money can he moved around

This can be a good or a bad (hblg. In the pa% maintenance

kids. Nol everyone agrees thai ihe schools are being run as effi-
ciently as ihey 0 mid be. There is also a debate - that has div id-

tionary money to be GUI ID save teaching positions.
We think an influx of accountants with calculators could go a
long way to "clear the air" so to speak. Ii would be nice to
move forward, so the school committee and administration can
lalk abOUl Ihe direction education should lake and not have to
he bogged down counting paperclips.
Honor code
As young children we learn not to "tell" Oil our friends or sib-
lings. II you do. you risk being described as a talllelale or worse
a "snitch."
Bui there's a real difference between a youngster, who sees
his broiher slip his lima beans under the table to Fido without
mom's knowledge, and teens who may have information or
know ledge about a crime.
li s time lor siudents to report no ihe police any information
Ihey may have about the vandalism thai occurred at the middle-
high school ihis week.
The profanity and obscenity in Ihe graffiti is bad enough The
damage lo the scIkxiI is also both cosily and rellecls a lack-of-
respeci lor the school and the town.
What happened could not he described as an end-of-school-
year prank We're nol talking about stringing loilei paper all
around and Spraying shaving cream, which can be washed
away.
We can't even publish or describe some of the graffiti because
it's nol suitable lor a communis newspaper. Bui il reminds us
of the Halloween leen melee in the late IWOs when obscene
graffiti was pointed on Ihe Osgood Play Park (behind the ihen
Osgi m hJ School).
Teens need lo hand together and nol tolerate this behavior.
They also need income forward and share what they know
about ihe crime so the appropriate punishment can be meted
out.
Vandalism is not cool. Unchecked ii quickly turns places into
dumps
Taxpayers anted up a lot Of money lor what is essentially a
brand-new middle-high school. Whai happened ill i - week is
beyond sad and disappointing, it's disgusting.
ETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Cut discretionary
items, not teachers
To mi editor;
A school system without a full teaching
stall and appropriately -sized dassrooms is
nothing.
A good deal of energy has been expended,
and an ocean of ink spread across these
pages, as bolh school committee and voters
debate the plight ol Cohasset 's schools in the
aftermath of a failed override.
Il is helpful lo recall the chronology of
events thai have led lo this healed debate,
and il is important for all eiti/ens to under-
stand how we arrived al Ihe elimination of
lour teachers from Cohasset classrixims.
Let's look al the record...
Alter the override failed, our school eom-
mittee was obliged lo balance the school
budget. There was a clear choice, either
eliminating teachers, or examining discre-
tionary expenses which could be reduced.
At a school committee meeting on June 2.
members debated vigorously on which of
these courses to choose.
One week laler. a special meeting was
called at which Superintendent Denise
Walsh was asked to report on discretionary
areas in Ihe school budget thai might be
reduced or eliminated, in order to fund
leaching positions. School committee chair.
Jamie Williams, adv ised the committee and
all presenl that the purpose of this meeting
was to discuss discretionary spending cuts,
and lhal any discussion pertaining tu Ihe
merits of the meeting itself would nol he
allowed. Consequently, when a member of
ihe audience and another member of the
school committee, proceeded lo interject
comments questioning Ihe meeting's merils.
both speakers were redirected by chairman
Williams to focus on the staled purpose Of
ihe meeting.
Instead of focusing on the non-academic
overhead expenditures, the superintendent
asked the School principals to identify curs in
Iheir budgeis. As a point of interest.
Superinlendent Walsh staled lhal she really
couldn't identify any discretionary items in
her hudgel. adding lhal. "a book shelf in Ihe
teacher's lounge was an academic expense."'
I commend the effort of each Principal as
ihey were told In eliminate items from their
budgets, while the Superintendent offered
next lo nothing in her overhead expenditure
cuts.
Between the healed meetings of June Id
and June 2.'. some past and presenl PSO
leaders brought pressure lo hear on school
committee members to vote fbr eliminating
teachers from our children's classrooms
Their reasoning being, lhal a cut of teachers
would sufficiently motivate parents to vote
for an override in 2006, and lhal because
they had staled to Ihe lown lhal if Ihe over-
ride failed ihey would cul teachers, ihey had
no choice.
Ii is important to note lhal mosi voters who
were not in favor of the override land I voled
to support it), did nol specify lhal Ihe schools
eliminate classroom leaching positions, hul
demonstrate more fiscal responsibility w ith
their budgets and be more responsive to the
taxpayers who supply the funds lor iheir
budget
On Thursday. June 23. the vole was taken.
Committee members Wilson. McCarthy and
Flynn voted to eliminate four of our chil-
dren's teachers from our schools rather ihan
eliminate discretionary spending from their
school budget, or adopt any revenue produc-
ing Suggestions thai were offered.
Some items that outweighed the value ol
teachers include new administrative raises
and hires, administration cell phones, and
bus maintenance ai snx) per hour.
Remeniber that teachers = education.
The teachers to be cut included a new fusi
grade leaching position, a new high school
Finglish teacher, and two leaching positions
saved from 2005 budget cuts through private
intervention. Il was a sad day. Whai was
even more dislurbing was lo see members of
Ihe community trying to offer suggestions to
examine areas for cutting costs, or generat-
ing revenue, being told. "It's too late, you
should have gotten involved sooner." The
die had been cast.
Perhaps some presenl PSO leaders and
some members of the school committee, can
reexamine Iheir direction. Although I am
certain that everyone involved in the
process, believes that the) lum- the best
motives at heart, our focus must be on main-
taining the heart «/ the classroom: our
teachers. As parents and administrators we
must concentrate our efforts on meeting the
needs of our children, and those needs arc-
hest served by Ihe teachers in their class-
rooms. As a parent of three young children in
Ihe Cohasset schcxil system. I feel strongly
aboul Ihis and urge oilier parents 10 support
school committee members Williams and
Slanei/ as they begin the daunting task of re-
educating many well-meaning people, to
help them understand ihai when ihe commu-
nity says "lave within your hudgel." il does
not mean compromise our children's class-
moms

Why I voted to save four teachers
COMMENTARY
AlJRH) K. St AMT/
I-asi Thursday. I Voted against tlie FYOfi School
Budget because I believe thai it on ides ihc qualilv ol
education in Cohasset. In our vote the other night,
padded budget lines, poor managcmeni ami free buses
woo out over saving four teachers, The result will be
lower honor, classes and elective* 111 iIk- high school
and larger class sizes in the elementary schools anil the
high school. In my opinion, this is an abdication of the
school comniillee"s fiduciary responsibility to pmvide
the highest quality education and get the most educa-
tional value lor our lav dollars.

Additionally, the administration did not rally lo save

non-salary classmom cuts possible. There was a gen-
eral sense lhal "if Ihe community isn't willing to pay
for it. then we'll pmvide them with ihe program Ihey
paid for". There was also a resistance to manage 00
tain support areas in a more cost effective manner, for
example, when asked about jointly bidding with Other
lowns for out of district SPIiD transportation, one
week the legality was questioned, the next week, llv
answer was "we're already doing it"' Then there Was

cation, it was mentioned thai tins shift could possi-

Satives is expensive, SI24.95 a vial,

• Rontney lakes unother run at
unemployrnent insurance — Not
content to stop with health care,
the governor also floated Round
Two ol his bid for a drop in the
employer premium for unemplov -
metU insurance and a shortening
of the henelil payout period. He
said the Current rate ol SoX7 per
employee and the 30- week pav-
out period is costing the state
"thousands" of jobs: he wants
those numbers reduced to S586
and 2d weeks, respectively.
• FERt ' teems sure m get abili-
ty in locate IM i terminals — The
US Senate included a prov ision in
its version of federal encrgv legis-
lation granting unilateral power
lor the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission to site Liquefied
Natural Gas terminals. The move
is unpleasant for Massachusetts,
because a terminal has been pro-
posed for Fall River and nearly all
local and state officials oppose it.
But with the US House and
President Hush also in favor of
^'uing FERC the capacity to site
the facilities, the terminal seems
closer than ever to being built.
Residents await US Sen Edward
Kennedy 's next move on the mat-
ter.
• Assigned risk plan cut down
by siii>eriiiri imn — The assigned
risk plan instituted by Insurance
Commissioner Julianne Bowler
does not pass legal muster.
Superior Court Judge Ralph
Cunts ruled. Bowler issued an
order last year that, simply put.
reconstituted the pool of high-risk
drivers so the costs of insuring
them can be spreud out among all
insurers. But Commerce
InsuruiK-e. the lurgest underwriter
in the stale, brought suit against
Howler s new rules. Cants agreed
with Commerce, saying Howler
overstepped her statutory authori-
ty by instituting the new rules, and
" they must be vacated " It remains
to be seen what step Bowler will
take next, or how the cosis o)
high-risk drivers will be shared in
the future.
• Sullivan chosen tar k.v atlar-
/icvV advisory committee — US
Attorney General Alberto
Gonzales usked Michael Sullivan,
a loniKT Republican representa-
tive from Ahingion and now US
XttOrne) for Massachusetts, to
serve on a 23-member national-
level Advisory Committee of
United States Attorneys Sullivan
was one of three district US
Attorneys nationwide asked to
serve. His visibility, has already
risen recently because of the pros-
ecution of former House Speaker
Thomas Finneran for alleged per-
jury and obstruction of justice.
• Romney says bfotevh market-
ing needs improvement l-rom
Philadelphia, where he attended a
national conference of the
biotechnology industry. Gov.
Romney said the state needs to do
a better job marketing ils sirenglhs
as iui incubator, so to speak, for
the growing field. Romney down-
played the recent controversy
over stem cell research, though hi-
did say he'd heard support for his
socially conservative point of
view.
• Boston Harbor declared envi-
ronmentally health} — The
Boston Foundation issued a report
suy ing the harbor, made infamous
by George H.W. Bush in his 1988
campaign against Michael
Dukakis, is now a healthy marine
environment, after a mulli-billion
dollar cleanup effort centered on
the IXvr Island treatment plant
and the diversion of sewer over
Hows during heavy rains. The
foundation also noted public per-
ception of the harbor hasn't

foot McDonald's tigns in Naikk
— For the third time in as man)
lenns. Rep. David Linsky is try-
ing to pass legislation requiring
the McDonald's corporation to
extinguish the giant illuminated
signs on the Massachusetts
Turnpike that his constituents
complain keep them awake at
night. Al a public hearing on M
bill, a representative from the
McDonald's Corp. acknowledged
the signs do lead to increased
sales, but said the reason the com-
pany opposes the bill is public
safety. Truckers might swerve into
serv ice areas without the 80-foot
signs providing plenty ol advance
warning, said Michael Kunmen
And under thai logic, w hy do both
sides of the sign need to be bright-
ly lit' l.inksy wanted to know.
Kunonen admitted then.- was no
safety factor there, except the
signs' do help light parking lots

life ruined by a speeding, "care-
less young driver" who intlicled

Coughlin and the city of (Juincy

Didn't vote 'no' to cut
teachers, programs
TO mi BpnoR:
I am writing my Rrst-evei letter
to a nesvspapei because I am
becoming vers concerned abotll
sshal I am reading regarding the
reactions to the need lor revising
the school budget m light of the
recent sole against a Proposition
2- 1/2 override.
As a person who voted against
the osemde. I want lo make it
clear to all the school committee
members and school administra-
tion that I did ma vote to cut
teachers i « educal n mal pn grams.
I soteii as i did because I believe
thai those in the posiiH m ol des el-
oping the school budgets hase not
really taken the initiative in work-
ing to keep cosis in line Rather,
because osemdes were passed
almost routinely, they base been
lulled into believing that this
wealthy low n ss ill continue u < pay
without question,
I do not have children in the
schools, but ins children did
attend public school* elsewhere
in Massachusetts. I am a firm
belies ei in public education, and I
know lhal the quality of our
schools not only benefits our
Community, bill also directly
affects the salue o| ms own
home In fact, this may be the lirsi
lime that I hase ever soled
against allocating more money
for SChOOlS,
I applaud Jamie Williams and
all those who arc w Uling to do the
hard work ol 'really looking at the
budget lo find places ssheic il is
appropriate lo make cuts I mm
what I hase read and heard, this
includes transportation and
administrative costs. I agive with
those who hase said that the num-
ber of administrators seems too
high for a school >sstem of our
si/*. Ami. gisen the small si/e of
our town. I think we should be
investigating the possibility of
regionalizing any areas when
economies of scale may apply
I urge the sehool commillee'and
the sehool administration to work
together to look lor all possible
cuts in these other iireas before
they eliminate educational pnt-
grams or teachers.

For reasons close lo my heart. I

see |ust how mans people have
been touched by cancer, includ-
ing those we lose still fighting.
Because we slill hase far to

yet lo he done lo cure all tonus of
cancer. I would like to ask your
readers lor iheu support as I run
the Falun mill Road Race to bene-
fit the Dana-Farber Cancer

No harm in reviewing
school budget
To THE Ei>n<«:
Last sseek in the Manner I read
three fairly lengths personal
opinion pieces on the Cohassel
school budget situation.
Unfortunately, l came away with
the strong impression thai there
are those in Cohassel who do not
want lo find the middle ground
Il appears to come down to.
"You are either with me or
against me".
What harm can there be in con-
tinuing lo res iew and possibls
refine the 2(kcs-2(K)6 budget?
I.asl year when utility costs were
a big surprise item. I was lold by
a former School Committee
member they v iewed the budget
as "a work in progress". No one,
not Supt. Walsh or the School
Committee should be insulted by
the suggestion Unit there should
he a second or a third look at
decisions that we made pre-
oserride vote. Why should we
ollhandcdly criticize the sugges-
tion to. at least in the short term,
eliminate non-essential items '
We need to decide w hat is the
greater priority — I always
he-lies ed il was keeping leachers
employed and in the classroom.
Il has been said mans nines
bin some refuse to accept, that
the lailure of the override was
no: a mandate for eliminating
teachers or proposed positions,
Some oulspoken indisiduals
treat this as a self-evident
•"truth", but we do not need to
accept this faulty logic If there
are those on the School
Committee w ho are sufficiently
open-minded lo attempt another
pass at the budget, why stop
them.' The reason, some would
say. is that "the credibility of the
budget process" is .it stake. So I
ask you. should we be more-
concerned ahoul the sanctity of
a "process" than we are about
our children's qualils of educa-
tion lor 2005-2006?

Walsh s.iiil since DM budget
was originally drafted ill
February, ihere have been a nunv
her ol step increases and column
changes, as well as staff being
hired thai were not in ihe original

Step increases happen at Ihe
completion of every sear of

Column changes occur m addi-
tion 10 slep increases as leachers
continue to pursue their educa-
tion. Teachers stan oil at column

progress through the columns as
ibey cam credits or receive high-

leachers have a douhle Increase.

lor the 2004-2005 school year,
who increases one step with the
completion Of thai lirst sear, and
who also receives a master's
degree, or 30 credits in a Held ol
studs, would also move up to col-
umn two, The lirsi sear salary ol
$33,467 would lump over the
summer to $37,822.
Walsh said since February, step
increases and column changes
have occurred which have
thrown ihe salais balance off.
According lo ihe 2002-2005
teachers' contract. "Column
transfers become effective on
Sepi. I and Jan. 31 Following ihe
dale ihe teacher qualified lor the

on Jan. 31, leachers will notify
Ihe superintendent of their eligi-

ceding Nov, I "
While leachers must pay lo
lake ihe classes which quality
them to make ihe column
change, in C'ohassel. they are

In addition, longesits buyouts

Report sheds light on
school electrical use
By Samantha Brown
SAMBROWWCNC COM
vviih uti liiy bills skyrocketing,
finding ways id conserve energy
is .1 lop priority lor the school
deporanent
Thmughout the school year, rcs-
idenls Often voice concern over
lights being on in both the school
buildings and parking lots long
alter students are gone for the day.
While lights are necessary while
cleaning crews make their way
through (he buildings at night.
Some are concerned the lights art
not being shut oil when the build-
ings are not in use.
In late May, school committee
chahman Jamie Williams asked
facilities manager Brian Adams to
begin looking into ways lighting
could be limited, therefore cutting
back on electricity ami eliminat-
ing vinic ol the glow lor nearby
neighbors She said she had heard
some negative comments from
residents at various meetings in
town.
"I am not satisfied with the
feedback. Pm getting on ihe
lights." she said. If they're on lor
no purpose, it's a waste of
money."
Since then Adams, who was
hired last fall, has been working
with school committee member
Bsm Wilson to COAIE up with a
schedule for lighting which will
help ensure only those lights
which are absolutely necessary
are on at any given link.-. Adams
v\ ill be working with an enemy
consultant in the future to help
devise a plan for the schools, and
look at ways to conserve energy
usage town-wide.
At the June 23 school commit-
tee meeting. Wilson shared a
report compiled by Adams which
detailed the amount of energy the
schools currently use
11k- ixirking lot lights are the
most visible lor those who drive
bv the schixils at night or live in
close proximity to them. Wilson
said Adams has reviewed the
lighting timers for all three
schools anil all have been set
back. The Osgood and Deft Hill
parking lot lights are scheduled to
mm oil at 1 1 p.m. and the middle-
high school parking lot lights an'
S0 h> turn oil at ll:.Vlp.m.
Previously, parking lot lights
Adams' report states
the total electric bill
for the schools for May
was $22,323, of which
1.8 percent was the
cost to light the
parking lots. That
means that while the
parking lot lights may
be more noticeable, it's
the interior lights that
are costing the most.

night. Assuming every light was

At the suggestion of Supt ol
Schools ionise Walsh, members
of the school committee may
soon sign up to attend a leader

With only one longtime mem-
ber on the board, two new mem-
bers who began in April, and two
others with one year of experi-

right to attend an Informational
meeting.
"When boards change over,

Walsh said the conferences

Walsh's comments came on
the heels ol a tension-lilled June

school committee divided

she replied she had wanted 10.

cut off so abruptly, However,
she went on to explain her posi

Last week, member Pain
Wilson said during the meeting
on the I'uh. she wasn't comfort-
able with the tone or the meeting
and therefore didn't actively
voice her opinion.
"I don't do well with negative
conversations, so I didn't con-
tribute a lot." she said June 2.V
one week later. "We need to be'
united as a group." Wilson said

mittee wishes everyone a sale and happy

"We're working on a hunch of film projects and I'm looking at

Hometown memories
inspire 'Lakeville' singer
Amy Correia performs
Newport's Sunset Music Festival
Amy Correia recorded her debut album. "Carnival Love." while
under contract to Capitol Records. Her sophomore album.
"Uikev ille" — released in October by Netrwerk America — was
a much different experience, however, for the singer and song-
writer.
"With the first one. I had what seemed like limitless resources -
major label, seven different producers, and money."
explained Correia last week by telephone fn>m New York. "When
I stated this record. I had no money, no label and no resources. I
wrote all the songs, and we recorded the whole thing live, with
musicians from L.A.. in just eight days including die mixing. Only
alter the album was done did I make the deal widi my new label
lo release it."
The li.L-ht recording schedule, and even lighter budget, has done
little, however, to dampen the singer's enthusiasm for the new
release "I like all kinds of music, so this album is very different
Rom my first one It's more bluesy and much more live sounding.
The songs I wrote for it arc very rootsy and inspired by early ja//.
blues ami folk music, it is not a modern-sounding record at all.
People often say to me. 'Youre so much belter live than on your
recordings." and I think this new album really captures some of
what I can do in front of a live audience. The relaxation and con-
fidence are there. These songs are dark, hut there's joy in the
singing of them."
Correia lirsl discovered her joy of singing while growing up in
Lakeville. Since graduating from Barnard College. Correia 36.
has lived in Los Angeles ;uid New York. It was her childhood
home, however, that gave her the name for her new CD and its title
track.
"The song Like* ille' refers to a meditative place — my Zen
place It's not exactly about my hometown," says the artist who
lists The Rolling Stones ami Hob Dylan as her greatest musical
influences. "But I do have many wonderful childhood associations
ol lile in Lakeville. When 1 was growing up. it was a very big
event lot my Iriends and me lo go to the South Shore i'la/a in
Braintrec, and lo Dairy Queen in Middleborough. That's a stop I
still make, whenever I visii my parents."

Planning board wants rebuilding to stop on 'Motif #1'
Says project needs
site plan review
By Samantha Brown
SAMBROWN«CNC COM
The landscape is changing an
Hinder Street as die dilapidated
"Motif #1" — ..no of the build-
ings ui Ibe Mill River Marine
Boatyard — is being rebuilt.
While aesthetically the new
building might look better, the
planning board wants all work on
the sue to stop, saying proper
permits have not been secured
and town bylaws are being bro-
ken
At the June 2') planning hoard
meeting, member Peter Pratt said
the board voted unanimously to
send written eouimuniealion to
building inspector Robert Kgan.
recommending he direct all con-
struction activity at Mill Riser
Marine to cease and desist until a
commercial site plan review is
held lor the site.
Pratt said the board believes the
business is in violation of a sec-
tion of the town's zoning bylaws,
which requires site plan review
approval lor atn effort to build,
construct, reconstruct, or expand
any buildings or structures. He
added structures which will be
changed to exceed a total gross
floor area of 20fl square leet in a
business district — which applies
to Ihe Mill River building — are
required to undergo site plan
reviews
"Our beliel. based on our
observations of the past week, is
that Ihe business is in the process
Of full reconstruction of at least
Olte ol its buildings." said Pratt
The building, also known as the
old "Kastwick" building lor its
role in the NX7 movie "Ihe
Witches ol l;.astwick" is a
favorite with local artists and also
provides a backdrop lor kavaker^
who surf Ihe rapids below.
However, over the years the
building, along with its two
neighboring buildings, have tall-
en into disrepair and ow ner Peter
Ro> has been looking tor a way
to bring the buildings hack to
their Former glory.
Roy purchased the buildings in
iwo from William llanney. a
businessman who had bought
Ihe site in 1994, Hanney had
planned on constructing a resi-
dence on a majority of the prop-
erty, but the dream never came to
fruition.
Roy at one point had planned
on constructing condominiums
on the site while saving the his-
toric Rastwick building, hut env I-
ronmental regulations for the
waterfront propertv as well as a
bylaw passed by Town Meeting
which a'stricted the building of
residential units in a business dis-
trict made the project more diffi-
cult.
In the spring of 2(KM. attorney
Charles Humphreys came before
Ihe planning hoard on behalf ol
his client. Mill River Boatyard
LLC", led bj local businessman
Donald Slas/ko. who at that
point planned to purchase Ihe
Mill River site from Roj
Slas/ko had planned to rebuild
ihe three buildings on the site \ ir
lually the same wa\ they sIixkI
However, that May. the plan-
ning hoard voted 3-0 against
approval of Ihe site plan, stating it
thought ihe applicant had not
provided enough information
regarding the site's intended use.
along with a failure to meet the
parking requirement set forth in
the town's bvlaw and a failure to
meet public saletv requirements.
Due to its location on the water,
the site has very specific criteria
in terms ol use
The Mill River team appealed
the planning board's decision,
and claimed that hv denying the
site plan, which outlined plans
for a full-service boatyard, com-
plete with hauling, launching,
storage and repair facilities, the
planning hoard overstepped its
jurisdiction. Mill River alleges
the discretion exercised by the
The planning bvwl wanfa work m tiop mi the termer "Eastwict builtlate >u ihe harbor pauhn.
planning hoard in its decision is
an "abuse ol povvci and in excess
ol their authority in that a plan-
ning hoard does nol have discrc
lion in a site plan approval
process."
However, the suit was dropped
and Slas/ko opted out ot Ihe deal,
bringing Roy back into the pic-
lure.
Pratt said based on the amount
oi work current!) being done on
the site, the board believe* ,i site
plan review should have been
conducted before a building pet
mil was granted. Therefore, the
work at the site, "is being con-
ducted without the legal authori-
ty of Ihe town, which hv defini-
tion means that buildine permits
lor the work have been issued
improperly."
Pi. ill said in that case, or in the
event the work has reached ovei
perniilled limits ol minor repair*.

to stop work on ihe premises

issued ihe permit to Rov last w in

Vanderweil said things have

Questioned recent!) surfaced
about the positions, as* the failure

used to subsidize the school bud-
get, has led the school committee
to make some budget cuts, Ihe

for making up s2S5.ihx) of the
S-tdO.000 gap.
A recent vole of ihe school
committee decided four leaching
potations including Ihe two
privately funded positions from
fiscal 2005. as well as Iwo newly
proposed positions to be added
this yeai cannot be included in
ihe fiscal 200t> budget. Those
lour positions make up roughly
$180,000, and anticipated circuit
breaker (special education) fund-
ing is expected to make up the
remaining $105,000 balance.
However, ul Ihe June Id meet-
ing of the school committee.
Walsh announced ihe schools
will need lo make up an addition
al $168,000 in salaries for fiscal
21X16. Salary commitments from
fiscal 21)05 have led to step
increases and column changes
for leathers, which will affect
salaries for fiscal 2006.
Slep increases happen al the
completion of every year of
leaching, and increases for the
past three vcars have Ivpically
been between $12300 and S3.0M
per leacher.
Column changes occur in addi-
tion lo step increases as teachers
continue to pursue iheir educa-
tion. Teachers start off at column
one w ith a bachelor's degree and
progress through Ihe columns as
the) cam credits or receive high
er degrees. The average increase
lor a column change is between

Last week the commission

problem can be attacked through
legislation or an executive order

He also said youth need to be

What is it: OxyConlin
(oxycodone HCI conirolled-
relea.se) is the brand name for
an opioid analgesic - a narcot-
ic. OxyContin is used to treat
pain that is associated with
arthritis, lower back condi-
tions, injuries, and cancer, it is
approved for Ihe treatment of
moderate to severe pain thai
requires treatment for more
than a few days and available
by prescription only.
What does it look like?
Most commonly seen in tablet
form. These round pills come
in lOmg, 2(>mg. 4()mg. HOmg
and IfiOmg dosages.
OxyContin also conies in cap-
sule or liquid form.
How is it used ? As pain
medication. OxyContin
tablets are taken every 12
hours. Most pain medications
must be taken every three lo
six hours. Oxyconlin abusers
remove the sustained-release
coating to gel a rush ol eupho-
ria similar to heroin. They
chew the tabs, crush them lor
snorting, or boil the powder
for injection.
Short term effects: Taking
broken, chewed, or crushed,
tablets could lead to the rapid
release and absorption of a
potentially toxic dose of oxy-
codone. Reports indicate that
hundreds of people have died
after overdosing in this fash-
ion, usually as a result of acute
pulmonary edema.
Long term effects: Chronic
use ol OxvConlin use will
result in increased tolerance to
the drug in which higher doses
ol the medication must be-
taken lo receive the initial

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Slow down on Parker Avenue
To me Editor:
Have you ever driven down Parker
Avenue and noticed signs that say "Speed
Limit 15"? Lots of people seem to either
not see them, or else they think they mean
everyone but them
Parker Avenue is a small, narrow r<-w-
deniiaf street, about o third of a mile long
that has changed dramatically in the last
lew years. Ai Ihe end ol ihe street are a
100-plus slip marina, a row ing center, a
summer day camp, and the Town boat
ramp. When you move onto the street,
you naturally assume that there will be a
lot of traffic during the summer. Thai
comes with the turf. Whai should not
come with the turf is the amount of
speeding dial has been going on. When
the speed limit was being set, there were
cars clocked at over 45 miles per hour!
Did you know that by the lime you have
gone less than half way down the street,
you have gone past nine children under
the age of seven'.' The houses on the street
are close to ihe road. A young child can
unthinkingly run in from of a car w iff) the
potential for a real tragedy,
The police have been most helpful, in
some eases contacting the owner of the
cars that are going well over the 15 mile
speed limit. We appreciate their help, but
how about a little common sense and a
little common courtesy ' Anyone familiar
with recent incidents ai the schools in
town should know thai the police have
bigger fish lo fry. Give 'em a break, and
giv e Parker Av enue residents a break loo!
Pretend that one of those nine children is
yours, or may he your voiuteer brother or
"sister. SLOW DOWN! The speeding is
not limited just to young kids. Adults (or
at least they should he chronologically
speaking I are often the worst offenders.
Set a belter example You're on your way
to a relaxing day on the waier. Start it
with a relaxing drive down Parker
Wenue and end it with a slow drive back
up,

Relay For Life
support appreciated
To me EbnoR:
This year was the 20th anniversary of
the Relay for Life, and the ninth year we
have held the event in Cohassct. The
Relay For Life w as founded by one per-
son warning to make a difference and
give people hOpe by raising money for
the American Cancer Society. It is this
hope that all volunteers feel when they
become involved in organizing and rais-
ing money for this event. Once again our
local Relay, comprised of volunteers
from the towns of Cohassct, Hingham,
Scituate and Hull, has helped reinforce
this vision! Although the total contribu-
tions are not yet finalized, the amount
raised w ill be very close to $150,000!
The Relay has grown from one event to
over 4.3(H) in the LIS with over 3 million
people participating. The Relay in
Cohassct is pan of this enormous effort
and we are making a difference.
What I found most uplifting as chair-
person ol this event was the outpouring of
community involvement. For this gener-
ous spirit I am most grateful, and on
behalf of the Relay committee, would
like to thank all those who have made this
year's Relay such a great success, I w ish
to extend my gratitude and admiration to
the 2K team captains and their members
of over 400 people who raised the bulk of
ihe money. In addition, we had 15 busi-
nesses contribute money and/or gills, and
6 restaurants participate in the Taste of
the Relay. This was all possible due lo the
many volunteers who came together and
worked tirelessly. They faithfully showed
up and did whatever had to be done to
make il successful. We had children as
young as X. as well as teens who were
eager lo help wherever they were needed.
It was great to see so many involved and
enjoying themselves.
I am also grateful for the community
facilities thai were readily made available
to us. The Second Congregational Church
and the Cohasset High School adminis-
tration generously allowed us to use their
facilities to conduct our many planning
and team meetings. Many thanks to Bob
Levy, the cafeteria manager, for volun-
teering his time 10 make the Taste of the
Relay successful and Brian Adams, the
facilities manager, for giv ing his tune to
make sure all of the logistics needed for
the event were coordinated with the
school needs. I would also like to thank
Chief of Police Hussey for his efforts to
ensure that the needs of the ev ent and the
needs of the town were coordinated to
make this a safe event for all. Thanks also
to the abutters of the school field for their
understanding, and for working w ith us to
make this Relay an enjoyable, family
event.
Finally. I would like to thank the men
and women on the Relay committee who
worked so hard to bring this effort to
fruition. Their dedication and spirit has
made chairing the Relay a truly gratify ing
and enjoyable process, lis success would
not have been possible without their
tremendous efforts.
Again. I would like to offer my heartfelt
appreciation to all those who worked so
hard and to those who generously con-
tributed to the success of the Relay For
Life. Il is clearly proof thai each and
every person can make a difference when
(he community embraces the vision of
hope.

Don't privatize our public schools
COMMENTARY
I have been reading with some interest the recent-
ly published iinicles anil Idlers related in the tailed
override and its effect on the school budget and
recently attended the June 23rd School Committee
meeting. As a former PSO member and president,
a lomier School Council member and chair, a for-
mer School Committee member and chair, a former
Advisory Committee member and chair, and a
recent member of the School liudgcl Investigation
Committee. I would like to comment on several
issues that have been raised, both at School
Committee meetings and in articles and letters in
this newspaper.
There has been much talk about cutting teachers
and sa\ ing teachers. The fact of the matter is that of
the lour teaching positions in question, two were not
in last year's Of this year's school budget (they were
cut last year under the pre\ ious administration), and
the other two positions were proposed positions lor
next year.
The two positions that were eliminated last year
were also reinstated last year through private fund-
ing (largely donations from parents 1 that was
accepted by the School Committee lor that purpose.
So the issue is really about adding mot cutting or
saving existing positions) teaching positions for
next year in the face of a failed override. Several
members of the School Committee have suggested
that they be funded by cutting discretionary spend-
ing, accepting private funding, and/or by instituting
user lees for some services. I believe that we all.
ami parents In particular, should be very concerned
about this discussion, and should be asking very
pointed questions of those members of the School
Committee who are proposing these funding mech-
anisms.
Tile School budget should he constructed publicly
and with as much input as possible, a fad noted bv
a letter writer to last week's Manner. And when
adjustments have lo ho made because an override
fails, input is of equal importance. School
Committee Chairperson Jamie Williams slated at
Ihe close of the budget discussion on June J.'rd that
it was her intention to fo&tet that kind ol debate by
raising the issues of discretionary spending and Ihe
addition of certain user lees. She stated that after
members of the public challenged her attempts to
slop discussion of anything but discretionary spend-
ing cuts and user fees at the June 1 6th meeting. In
a June 15th email lo the Superintendent and copied
to other School Committee members. Ms. Williams
was very clear thai she would only allow very pro-
scribed discussion ol ihe budget situation. The
email stales that 'The area ol academic stall is off
the table" and that "All other areas of discretionary
spending are on the table " Putting aside Ihe fact
that directing the course of discussion prior lo the
meeting via email may well constitute an open
meeting law v iolalion. Ms, Williams' bias and intent
is clear.
1 am very concerned that these attempts to
"frame" the budget discussion only in terms of " an-
ting discretionary items" and Instituting usei lees"
represent an attempt al the much broader agenda ol
privati/ation of our public schools. Keep in mind
thai the word "discretionary" is defined as •option-
al", and that user lees are in this situation a hidden
lax on parents. My concerns have been raised even
further by Mr. Slanct/' commentary in last week's
Mariner. While I disagree strongly with many ol the
points made by Mr. Slanel/. including the sugges-
tion that those who disagreed with his position on
adding teaching positions [not cutting or saving
positions as some have Ulggestedj wanted lo some-
how "punish" parents for not voting lor the override
or build a case lor another override, I wanl lo focus
on the comment thai most appalled me. that "private
money Id supplement taxpayer money is a path lo
quality."
For many years, private donaiion- 10 organiza-
tions like the PSO and ihe Coiwtsei Education
Foundation, the arts and sports booster groups, and
the occasional private individual donation have
helped to supplement the curriculum bv providing
"enrichment" supplies and flctiv ities for the schools.
These are "extras" and 1 siip|vort the use ol these
funds tor these purposes. However, when you siart

to use private money and user lees to lund things
thai should he part ot a basic publicly funded edu-
cation, like teacher salaries, textbooks, classroom
supplies and administrative costs, \ou begin to go
down Ihe slippery slope of real privatization ol out
public education system. Mr. Slanel/ Holes that we
should not "bei Ihe I arm solely on annual overrides"
as they relate to funding our educational services. 1
would argue lhal lo bet the farm on Ihe kind ol pri-
vate funding he is suggesting has ihe potential to ho
more disastrous.
Private funding
Adding teachers through private funding or by

great school year based on ihe generosity ol
donors". That's great, bul what v\ ill happen lo those

Red tide' and the shellfish ban
By Steve Bobo
SPECIAL TO THE MARINER
While ihe red tide crisis has abated somewhal.
still, most of Massachusetts Bay including Cohasset
and surrounding towns are covered by a shellfish
ban. According lo the div ision of Marine fisheries,
the openings represent only a small percentage ol
towns covered by the ban. Red tide is caused by
growth of excessive amounts of algae. Algae are
microscopic, single-colled plains thai live in the sea.
Most species of algae or phytoplankton arc not
harmful anil serve as the energy producers al Ihe
base of the food chain, without which higher life on
this planet would not exist
Occasionally, the algae grow very fast or "hit Kim"
and accumulate into dense, visible patches near the
Surface of Ihe W ater, "Red Tide" is a common name
for one form of such a phenomenon where certain
phytoplankton species contain reddish pigments
anil "bloom" such that the water appears to he col-
ored red. The term "red tide" is thus a misnomer
because blooms are not associated with tides; they
are usually not harmful: and those species that are
harmful may never reach ihe densities required to
discolor the water.
Unfortunately, a small number of species produce
potent neurotoxins: thai can be transferred through
the food chain where they affect and even kill the
higher forms ol life such as /ooplankton, shellfish,
fish, birds, marine mammals, and even humans that
iced either directly or indirectly on them
Only a lew do/en of the many thousands ol
species of microscopic and macroscopic algae are
repeatedly associated with toxic or harmful blooms.
Some species, such as ihe dinollagcllalc
Atexandrhm lamarviae produce potent s which are
liberated when the algae are eaten. This is [he
species of algae which is responsible lor the current
red tide warning Today. 40 towns including
Cohasset Hull . and almost all shorelront towns on
Massachusetts bay from Salisbury to Provinceiown
arc covered by a shellfish ban winch prohibits tak-
ing shellfish or carnivorous snails from ihe waters
ot these towns. Crustaceans such as lobsters and
crabs are not included in the ban.
Toxins produced by Ihe above algae are life threat-
ening if ingested from shellfish. Sy inptonts are neu-
rological and their onset is rapid. They include tin-
gling, numbness, and hunting of the mouth region,
giddiness, drowsiness, fever, rash, and staggering.
Duration of effects is a few days in non-lethal cases,
file most severe cases result in respiratory .inesi
within 24 hours of consumption of the toxic shell-
fish. If the patient is not breathing or il a pulse is not
detected, artificial respiration and CPR may be
needed us first aid. There is no antidote; supportive
therapy is the rule and survivors recover fully. This
so-called paralytic shellfish poisoning is prevented
by large-scale proactive monitoring programs
(assessing levels in mussels, oysters, scallops,
clams) and rapid closures lo harvest of suspect or
demonstrated toxic areas.
Symptoms begin anywhere from 15 minutes lo
1(1 hours alter eating the contaminated shellfish,
although usually within two hours. Symptoms are
generally mild, and begin with numbness or tingling
ol the htce. arms, and tegs litis is followed bv
headache. di//iness. nausea and lack 01 muscular
coordination. Patients sometimes describe a floating
sensation. In cases ol severe poisoning, muscle
paralysis ami respiratory failure occur, and in these
cases death may occur in two |o 2s hours
livery year, approximately JO oases ol poisoning
by marine shellfish arc repotted in the 1 nited
Slates. Because healthcare providers are IIOI
required to report these illnesses and because many
milder cases are not diagnosed or reported, the actu-
al number of poisonings may he much greater.
Toxic Seafood poisonings are more common in the
summer than winter because dinollagelales grow
well in wanner seasons li is estimated from cases
with available data that one person dies every lour
years from toxic seafood poisonings.
Diagnosis and Prevention II suspect leftover lish
or shellfish are available, they can easily he tested
for the presence ol the Idenlilicalion of the Specif-
ic toxin is not usually necessary lor treating palienis
because theie is no specific treatment.
Check with local health officials before collecting
shellfish and look lor Health Department advisor ies
about algae blooms, diuollagellale growth or "red
tide" conditions lhal may he posted at fishing sup-
ply stores
Do not eal linlish or shellfish sold as bail. Hail
products do not need lo meel the same food safety
regulations as seafood lor human consumption.

hul I feel can sav with reasonable
certainty, having had two chil-

Public Schools, that students will
most likelv make it through the
school year 'his year without
those extra positions. I do agree
I am very concerned that these attempts to
"frame" the budget discussion only in
terms of "cutting discretionary items" and
"instituting user fees" represent an attempt
at the much broader agenda of privatization
of our public schools.
with one thing Mr. Sluncl/
wrote, and that is that we dn not
want to continue on a down-
ward spiral It is the role and
the responsibility of the School
Committee to ensure that that
does not happen and there are
ways iodo that without privarfe
ing our system* Educating
themselves as to those roles and
responsibilities as members of
the School Committee is one
wa> to do that. Hiring a solid
CEO, letting them do their job
without micro-managing that
job is another. The
Massachusetts Association of
School Committees (MASC)
has a code ol ethics for its mem-
bers winch stales "Give the
chief administrator lull respon-
sihilits tor discharging his/her
piolession.il duties and hold
him/her responsible for accept
ahle results.
There are man> factors thai
have contributed to the current
budget shortfalls in Cohasset
State aid has been cut signifi-
candy over the past several
years, special education costs
have increased, health care cov-
erage costs have increased,
enrollment has increased and
three new/renovated school
buildings have come on fine
wnh resultant increased utility
costs which have needed to he-
factored into the hudget.
Salaries, the largest part of the
hudget. also continue to
increase.
As a member Ol the School
Budge) Investigation
Committee, we were charged
with determining the cause of
the fiscal J"<Hi4 school hudget
shortfall. Main ol these factors
were discussed as contributors
to the overall problem. With
good planning and oversight,
good management, and ade-
quate budgetarv Communica-
tion between town and school
administration, these factors
would v//// have caused hudget
problems for our schools in
some way. Our committee was
asked to look specifically at the
utilities bill overages at a specif-
ic point in time and under a spe-
cific school administration.
And while it is difficult to
look al any part of the school
budget without looking al all of
the factors that impact the hud-
get. what was clear to our com-
mittee was that our previous
administration did not have a
good handle on the budget in
general and our recommenda-
tions reflected that. Our recom-
mendations were not a call to
end overrides, but to carefully
plan, budget, and communicate
in the future so that the town
would have confidence in the
numbers if and when an over-
ride was needed. Today, we
have a much different adminis-
tration and 1 feel they are meet-
ing that challenge.
Inherited mess
Dr. Walsh has inherited a hud-
get mess iron) her predecessor
thai continues to cause prob-
lems today. The most recent
revelations about professional
development costs that were
under budgeted are just one
more example of that. To her
Credit, l)r Walsh has been
extremely forthright about the
budget issues she is laced with,
and contacted the town finance
manager as soon as she realized
what was happening. She has
already made difficult and
unpopular staffing cuts. She
has been open in her communi-
cations with the town about the
budget and has instituted a
strategic planning process that
is inclusive ol a wide range of
key stakeholders (the school
department had a strategic plan
up until 1998. which was
allowed to lapse during Ihc pre-
vious administration i I believe
that lor taking those actions she
deserves the respect and support
of the community as she sorts
this out. Al the very least she-
deserves the respect and support
of her School Committee in her
recommendations on how to
resolve the fiscal issues that she
had no part in creating. I have
not seen that kind of respeel
from some members of the
School Committee.
It is the School Committee's
responsibility to be an advocate
lor public education as a whole.
They can do thai hy advocating
at the stale level for legislation
that would improve local fund-
ing mechanisms. The MASC
has a list of seven legislative
priorities for 2005 on ils web
site. Five of those priorities, if
enacted, would result in more
funding for local communities
The letter offered by Dr. Walsh
last week to the legislature ask-
ing for changes to 70B funding
is a great example and one of
those priorities. Additionally,
they should be advocating at
both the state and federal level
for adequate funding for man-
dated serv ices under Education
Reform, the Individuals with
Disabilities in Education Act
(IDEA) and No Child Let!
Behind (NCLB). Locally, a
committee was recently formed
to look at bringing more busi-
ness into the community to
increase the lax base. Someone
from the school department
should either participate in or be
a liaison to that committee, so
that school funding issues are
brought to the committee's
atlention.
Finally, at last week's meet-
ing, Mr. Slanet/ referred to the
work done by Jonathan Ko/ol. a
Staunch advocate for public
education. I had the pleasure of
hearing Mr. Ko/ol speak al an
MASC meeting when I was on
the School Committee. I would
highly recommend thai current
School Committee members

shops and other learning oppor-
tunities offered by MASC so
that they are fully aware of the
roles and responsibilities they
have and that we all share as
members of the larger commu-
nity to publicly fund Ihc educa-
tion of our children I have
included a quote from Jonathan
Ko/ol in closing that gels to the
heart of the importance of equi-
ty in the funding of public edu-
cation.
"We have a meritocracy ol

inequalities persist, all oj lis

The government turned over the
page on llie calendar and the ledger
last week, and to some degree tell
as though it were turning a comer
as well.
Even with SI 10 million in vetoes
and the insianl promise ol over

was ;i reasonably srraightforwaixl

due to a major milestone having
been achieved: lor the lira tunc in a
number of years, the state both
exceeded its revenue benchmarks
and witnessed revenues outpace the

ll was pure coincidence, but as
this turning |xiinl was reached, the

After spending the last
14 months traveling Ui 17
ditlerait countries shoot-
ing episodes of his new
Animal Planet series.
"Corwin's Quest," JelT
Corwin spent some run-
time off at home in
Marshfield a few weeks
ago. For the Emmy
Award-winner now in his
I Oth year on television,
that didn't mean putting his
feet up.
"I'm so glad to be home
with my wife aixl daugh-
ter." said Corwin, 37. by
telephone. "And my deck
is covered with flowers
just waiting to be planted."
The wildlife biologist
did more than yard work
dunng his time off. He
also prepared for the two Jeft Corwin
live shows he will do at Ihe
South Shore Music Circus on July l) to benefit the EcoZone ai the
private, non-profit South Slum: Natural Science Center in Norwell.
"I want the details to he a surprise, but people who come can count
on seeing things as king as long can he and as heavy as heavy can
be The shows will he all about humor, enciyy and plenty of audi
Mee participation." says the Norwell native."! only do live shows
when I ubsoloutel> need to. But they are a great way to raise money
for Ihe EcoZone. a very special place which I am very moled in."
EcoZone's rtxits due to 1999 when Corwin collaborated with
the South Shore Natural Science Center on an evhibil area to leach
children and adults aboul the natural wonders found in southeasiem
Massachusetts. Failures of the EcoZone. which opened in January
2002. include live pond exhibits complete with water, vegetation,
frogs, tish. and turtles.
Saturday's Music Circus shows — as well an adults-only event
thai evening at the South Shore Nalur.il Science Cento - are
designed to sustain and gn>w the EcoZone.
"Initially, we were raising money lor an idea. Now. ills X0 perccnl

should be very pniud of what has already been accomplished with
their support. There are just a few exhibits left to he created.'
The telegenic Corwin — chosen in 2U)2 as one of "People" mag-
azine's "50 Most Beautiful People" — may spend much of his lime
ending the globe, but he remains devoted lo the place he calls home,
"My worit today is very much based on what I learned growing up
on the Souih Shore. We have unique wildlife, beauliful forests and
pretty rivers, loo. It is why I still live here today. The feedback I get
front my television viewers is thai they want to see or.uigulans and
such, but I also want lo make sure that the> don't forget the natur.il
beauty in their own backyards."

Ronan Tgnan
Irish tenor to
As a founding mem-
ber of "The Irish
Tenors." singer Ronan
Tynan - who plays the
South Shore Music
□iCUS on Sunday - has
performed to sokj-viut
audiences all over the
world. The Dubliner
didn't tour his home
country as a solo per-
however, until
"I had given
Ireland, ot
, bui never on a
lour,"
explained Tynan. 45. by
telephone from his New York home last week. "It was lo be my first
solo work in Ireland since I left the Tenors and I was afraid my
'sell-by' date might have come and gone. You can never really be
sure how people are going lo leel about you after you leave a group
like the Tenor,. Ireland ended up being my Brst-ever, fully sold-out
tour, however, and it was just fantastic."
But it was not without challenge for the Trinity College-educal-
ed medical doctor who. disabled I n mi birth, had both legs ampu-
tated at age 2() following a car accident "One of my artificial legs
broke one hour before I was to sing for Mary McAleese, the
President of Ireland, al the National Concert Hall in Dublin." says
Tynan who set numerous track and field records while winning
eight gold medals in the Paralympics. "I luid to send for a tempo-
rary replacement limb. These tilings happen, but I was still able to
give my full performance - just a little later than planned During
thai same period. I was also supposed to fly to Washington. D.C. lo
perform for Nancy Reagan al an event marking her return lo
Washington. D.C. Unfortunately. I liad to have my lee repaired
and so I had to miss that concert."
Tynan's recent concerts in Ireland ami worldwide have been in
support of his new album. "Ronan." released M;uvh Ion die
Decca/Universal label. "For the first time. I'm singing material of
tremendous depth and weight and a greater of variety of music
beyond just the classic Irish tenor v ein. I like it very much, because

DiNero's rolls
dice for Keno
By Samantha Brown
SAMBROWNO'CNC COM
DiNero's restaurant has decid-
ed to try its luck again by reap-
plying lor a Keno license with
the Massachusetts Stale Lottery
Commission,
The restaurant has been in pur-
suit ol a license since 21X12. anil
all along the way the issue has
been lull of contention.
Neighbors felt the game would
draw mora traffic to the area and
with the number of families
which live nearby, as well as the
Nativity-Assumption of the
Virgin Mary Greek Orthodox
C hurch in close proximity, felt
offering the game was simply
not appropriate
In light of feedback from abut-
ters, selectmen voted in June
21X12 to deny DiNero's request
for a Keno License The request
then went helore the
Massachusetts Slate 1. otters
Commission, which has the
authority to issue the license. The
lottery commission upheld the
selectmen's n line.
However, the restaurant has
undergone a significant renova-
tion which has expanded the
parking lot. In light ol those
developments, selectmen have
agreed to heat the restaurant's
request again and will hold a
public hearing to discuss the
issue Tuesday. July 26.

reiterated the towns bylaws

not provided enough informa-

meet the parking requirement
set forth in the town's bylaw
and a failure to meet public
safety requirements. Due to its
location on Ihe Water, ihe site
has very specific criteria in

The Mill River team
appealed ihe planning board's

repair facilities, Ihe planning
board overstepped its jurisdic-

Chief James Hussey said all ejus
will be subject to a line, even
those belonging to residents of
the street. He asked residents
whether the) would be adverse-
ly impacted if they wanted to
have landscape!* or contractors

The residents said they have
room in their driveways to
accommodate those vehicles
Selectman Michael Sullivan
said he is concerned the parking
ban will deny people access to
the beach, He said by the hai
bar, people park on the street
"all day ever) day." and those
who live there have gotten used
to it.
Hut selectman Rob Spoflard
pointed out Spindrilt Lane "is a
private way. It's very different ,"
Sullivan said he doesn't see
what is wri ng with someone
who lives on Forest Avenue
parking on the street to go to the
beach.
"It's really not Cohassel resi-
dents." said Stanton, adding on
the rare occasion it is. it's usual
ly teenagers with coolers.
Selectman Gar) Vanderwcil
lives on Jerusalem Koad near
Spindrifl Lane anil he said he
drives hy regularly and sees ear-
parked OH the street. However,
he s.nd he sees the beach as "a
great natural resouree" and wor-
ries about the precedent ihe
board would set if parking is
restricted,
Vanderwcil said a no parking
sign recent!) appeared on
Jerusalem Road Drive where
people used 10 park to go fishing
on Moon Rocks Now people
have nowhere 10 park their car-
near that area "Il seems we're

The parking situation on
Spindrifl Lone is a small piece
ol a much larger parking puzzle
Black Kock Beach and Sandv
Beach each has its own set ol
problems. Town Manager Bill
Griffin said he will be dis
cussing long-term parking solu-
tions w ith selectmen in Ihe near
Inline
Sandy Beaeh has a large park
ing lot but only those who have
purchased heaeh stickers can
use it. That means out-of-town
visitors cannot park there
However, some non-residents
feel a S2S fine is worth paying
for a nice day at the beach and
will risk being issued a parking
lieket. Split between live
friends. S5 each isn't a bad deal,
officials say.
Griffin said possible deterrents
are increasing lines or towing
illegally parked vehicles
Residents on Spindrift Lane
original!) proposed installing a
"no parking, low /one" sign
But selectmen opted 10 stiek
with "no parking" which is the
case on several 01 her beach-side
sireeis. (However, they said
when the discussion of lowing
as a town-wide measure lakes
place. Spindrift Lane will be up
lor consideration 1
there is no parking al Black
Kock Beach so access is an
issue. Former selectman Merle
Brown, who was at Tuesday's
meeting, suggested turning the
alley across the street into a
parking lot. Parking there
could be regulated through
tow n beach stickers, he said.
Griffin said he will speak
with DPW superintendent
Carl Seslito regarding
whether opening the alley for
parking is feasible. Griffin
will also meet with I'oliee

time reported 29 accidents dur-
ing a two-year period from l*W7-
1999, The results were well
above the state average of acci-
dents for a signalized intersec-
tion. More than 40 percent of the
accidents at the intersection
involved personal injury includ-
ing one fatality.
The report stated: "Route 3A
carries heavy traffic through vol-
ume in both directions; it is diffi-
cult for northbound and south-
bound left-turning traffic to find
a gap. In some cases drivers may
miscalculate acceptable gaps anil
in other limes, out of frustration,
drivers my try to force them-
selves through traffic."
Hussey said he has sat near the
intersection to investigate and
witnessed the problem, which
was brought to his aitention by
his police officers. There was an
accident at the intersection last
week, but it's unclear if it was
caused by the faulty lights, he
said.
Hussey said in addition to hav -
ing the lights operate correctly,
he would also like to see dedicat-
ed left-turning lanes at the inter
section in both directions.

FROM KENO. PAGE 1
Town Manager Bill Griffin
said he has already spoken with a
member of the neighborhood to
ensure abutters are aw are of the
hearing date. Abutter Maria
Plante. 798 Jerusalem Road,
said she will attend the hearing,
as will many others in the neigh-
borhood. She said their feelings
about offering the game are still
the same.
"Wc don't want Keno in a resi-
dential area." she said, adding
there .ire many families in the
area with small children and
gambling docs not fit in with the
neighborhood. In addition, she
said the Greek Church is in the
process Of constructing a youth
center across the street and the
area will be abundant with chil-
dren who do not need to be
exposed to gambling.
In addition. Plante said the
expansion at the restaurant, while
beautiful, has caused "more traf-
fic, more people, and more
noise." and she believes Keno
would further add to the traffic.
"He's doing a great business as
a restauranteur," she said of
DiNero's owner Frank Plolner.
adding he should leave gambling
out of his business endeavors.
At this Tuesday's board of
selectmen's meeting, selectman
Gary Vanderweil expressed feel-
ings similar to Plante's and said
while he will hear DiNero's out,
"Cohassel is a family values kind
of town, and I'm not sure this lies
m with family values."
However, selectman Michael
Sullivan said ihe town has
already allowed Keno in town.
The Cohassel Fix>d Marl on
Rome 3A oilers the game.
Keno. sanctioned by the loner]

thai could be taken the wrong vvav
Wc are all warriors in this aye of terror as this is the
new reality of the DOSt-Sept. II world. We thought we
had gotten used to it. but alter seem;.' the horrific car-
nage in London, we know we have not.
The lerrorist bombings in London on Jtrlj 7 brought us
hack to those shocking, terror-filled days (really, weeks
and months) alter l>/l I. The London attack has already
earned an inlamv ol its own 7/7. Our hearts go out to
die British people who are now experiencing the
anguish we experienced on Sept. 1 1 and that the people
o| Spain know front the terrorist attack on a commuter
train m Madrid in March 2004. That attack brought
about a change of government.
How are we to go on with our lives knowing that ter-
rorism will be with us for the foreseeable Inline. '
Clearly, these terrorists (whether al Qaeda or some other
group with political motives i. are not going to give up.
Bui it helps if we remember Ihe resolve Americans gath-
ered in the dav s alter Sepi. 1 1
We goi hack on die airlines, continued with our lives,
reassessed our purpose and direction individually and as
a nation, and look it on the chin. We got up. dusted our-
selves off and developed ihe Strength to persevere,
knowing that the world and our role in il had changed
forever. No terrorists boarding airplanes or sending
anthrax in the mail could defeat us.
We fought hack, ll look us a while lo recover, but
recover we did. We toughened up. We tightened up our
domestic security, public safety and law enforcement
agencies. We have debated how much Of our personal
freedom wc are willing lo relinquish — a healthy and
necessary debate in our democracy in this posi Sept. 1 1
world. We have made many necessary changes that have
m&de US safer overall, especially 111 ihe area ol airline
security. More needs lo he done to make mass transit
safer.
Wc now know that there are people nU! there who
mean us harm and who are diabolical in their determi-
nation lo cany out their ev il. We are not naive.
And so as we go ahoul our lives, working and travel-
ing, we will be more v igilant. knowing the enemy is still
out there. As we hoard airplanes, trains, buses and sub-
ways, we will be more watchful ol our surroundings as
ihe experts are urging us to do. We w ill look out lor sus-
picious bags leli unattended. We will care more about
our personal safely and that of our neighbors. We w ill
keep our guard up.
Almost four years later, wc have been shocked back
into our Sept. 1 1 mindset but w ilh the know ledge dial
the terrorists didn*l win then and they won't gel the bet-

Ms. Jer/ is incorrect. Pie broad agenda is to redefine ihe

Taxpayers are appalled that tax
dollars are continually diverted
from our children's classrooms to

overhead items.
"...punish ponenti for not voting tor tin- override oi

mnh ni ihis observation, Ms. Jer/ gave no satisfactory
cxplanalmn lot the preference lo reduce ihe ac.idenik

tends that mure private funding Off schnnls diminishes

The deadline to receive bids on
the Cook Estate project is today
I Friday); the documents were slat-
ed to he opened at 10 a.m.
At the time Ihe Mariner went to
press fnursday, the town had not
received any bids bul Town
Manager Bill Griffin said lie
expected at least two would come
in.
How selectmen will proceed in
ihe selection process will depend
on Ihe number of bids. The) plan
10 begin interviewing potential
developers in niughly [WO weeks.
Tow n Manager Bill Griffin said
12 companies received a copy of
the Request for Proposals for the
project that dictates what the town
would like lo see built on Ihe sile.
Northland Residential, the compa-
ny the town had been working
w ith on ihe project, had indicated
11 w i mid submit a Bed Hid bid. "
Griffin said he was not worried
about the lack of submissions.
"Companies usually do not submit
their proposals until the lasl day or
so." he said in an interview last
week
While during the first bid
process the hoard had the benefit
of receiving a recommendation
from an RFP advisor) committee
made up of cili/ens. time is of tlic
essence and therefore, that same
process may not Iv feasible.
Tuesday, the board floored ihe
idea of soliciting residents with
professional experience to help
review proposals ;md including
die former Rl-v committee in the
discussions io help sort through
the town's options
Selectman Ralph I tormitzor said
he would like lo bring in experts
especially in Ihe areas of architec-
ture and energy. Selectman Gar)
Vandcrvvcil said he would like to
see a design review and would
also like to have someone, poten-
tially Dan Coughlin ol Tutela
Engineering Associates, one of the
town's contracted engineers, to
take a look al the wastewater
plans.
Selectman Michael Sullivan said
while expertise would be good, the
people who participated in the
RIP selection process w ill pmv ide
valuable information as they sort-
ed ihmugh the first round of bids
and weighed the v arious merits of
each proposal. He said they will
he able to compare the new pro
jects with Ihe feel of Ihe first,
including Whether it seems like a
real community.
Domtil/er said he would also
like to include a resident from ihe
senior communities of l(»l Pond
Street and Wheelwright Form at
the meetings. Selectmen Rob
Spolford said he thinks it would
also help ii members of both ihe
planning hoard and the zoning
board are at Ihe meetings as well
"Companies usually do
not submit their
proposals until the last
day or so."
— Town Managei Bill Griffin
Vanderweil suggested hiring
ouiside experts i" help with the
process. However. SpDuord said
there are many talented individu-
als in town who could step lor
ward lo help in the selection
process for free.
However. Dorniil/er agreed
with Vanderweil and s.ud with a
project ol this scape, "I'd go with
the best person l could whether it
means spending or not," adding he
doesn't want the town to he
"penny wise and pound foolish."
However. Spolford reminded ihe
board hiring an outside contractor
would require another bid process
io comply with state procurement
laws and the town simply doesn't
have Ihe lime
Advertising lor die new RFP
began June I?, and prospective
developers have had M) days in
which to mate an offer. Griffin
Said all five companies which sub
milled bids ihe first lime — IX-er
Hill Partners LLC, Cohassel
Residential LLC. Abbot Real
l-.siate Development LLC. Baron-
Keen, and Northland Residential
- were seW copies lo ensure a
fair bid process.
The new RFP has a different sel
of guidelines in place, which
includes a new minimum bid price
of $45 million The number of
Units has been reduced from a
maximum ol 95 u a maximum ol
65 and the town-owned land has
Iven removed horn the transac-
tion. The town owns an s.7 acre
pBrcd behind Slop St Shop thai
abuts ihe Cook pmperty. which
during lite first niund was going lo
be marketed with he Cook land
and sold together to allow the
town io make a pnilil.
While the town-owned land was
included in the first RFP, based on
ihe requirement thai it would he
deeded back no the town as open
space, the selectmen voted to
leave it oui of the new transaction
Aii easement to access the proper

new RFP

And one of the biggest reasons
for lhal is yoga, something Stone

"Doing yoga helped me learn

"I used ti > crv and be si > nerv ous
because I was so concerned with
winning and losing.
'Now. if I miss a shot, I put that
in Ihe past. It's the same thing it I

matters is this moment that I'm
in right now."
At no point this season was ih.it

moments following her loss to
